GENERAL ATLANTIC IN
COMPLETE COMMAND
Ambitious Major Discovers
Sea Can Invalidate Even
Military Rules.

LONDON, Sept. 22.-The story is
told AZ the American embassy of an
amusing case of insu ubordination on
board a transport that recently ar
rived from the United States.
The officers whose orders were not
strictly obeyed was a distinguished
American engineer, famous for his
bridge building. This officer had the
rank of major but any corporal knew
more about military practices.
AS soon as the American shores
disappeared the major busily opened
headquarters as the ranking officer
on the transport, and ordered morn
Ing and afternoon drill periods. And
70 rtwo days the awkward squad on
board drilled zealously But on the
third day there was quite rough sea.
The men found difficulty in walking
alone, much less in squad formation.
And several retired to their state
rooms apprehensively. The major, tho
q very good-natured man, decided
that any desertion from the drilling
ranks was horrible case of breach
OF discipline.
The fourth day was rougher still.
and there were only a few dozen who
answered at drill time. and they had
n sullen, hang-dog air about them.
Inc mayor ueClUeu 10 consult tne OI-
ficers of the navy in charge of the
transports antisubmarine guns.
Haven't authority to tells these
men that they are liable to be shot
unless they obey their superior Off
cer?" he inquired briskly.
navy lieutenant answered him
with impressive slowness.
Major this is serious. I should
tell these mutinous dogs that they
will be shot dead-dead-dead-
less they pusilanimously sue for quar-
teri"
The major looked sharply at the
lieutenant and, finding him very SOL
emn, said he would call the men to
assembly at once.
The ship was rolling and pitching
when the men assembled in the
smoking room, as many as were able
But the major did not appear. At
length he sent a second lieutenant,
who owed his rank to special detail.
to explain that he was unwell,~ and
That there would be no more drilling
temporarily.
II found" said the major in telling
the story on himself, that old Cen
eral Atlantic was the ranking officer
on that ship, and l never shall inter-
fere with his commands again."

BEWITCHED HIS HEARERS.
When James Whitcomb Riley Recitet
One of His Poems.


In his platform career during
those years when he went about the
country reading his poems, James
Whitcomb Riley saw with his eyes and
heard with his ears what people
thought of him. Never any other man
stood night after night on the stage or
platform to receive such solid roars of
applause for the reading" of poems
and for himself.
He did not read" his poems; he did
not ''recite'' them. either. He took his
whole body into his hands. as it were,
and by his wizard mastery Of sugges-

The Kitchen EInnr.

A practical way of dealing with the
kitchen floor and at the same time
economizing labor, is to cover it with a
plain, dark colored linoleum, such as
red. blue, green or black. and to polish
it. A shiny surface is easy to sweep
up and keep clean, and if polished once
a week on the other days it need only
be run over with a mop. If treated in
this way it will always look nice and
will save at least twenty minutes work
a day.-St. Louis POst-Dispatch.

China Is piSplcascu

IT would BIO somewhat remarkable if the
l republic OF China were entirely satisfied
with the agreement between tho United
States and Japan, an important provision Of
which is the recognition by this country Of
%Japan's special interest" in Chinese affairs.
That the Chinese government has registered
its protest was to be expected.
1t is, of course, easy for us to understand
the attitude of distrust which China has as
sumed toward her nextdoor neighbor. Since
the beginning of the war in Europe, Japan
has been encroaching moro and more upon
the sovereignty Of China and, if undeterred,
no doubt would have established Il 'benevo-
lent" protectorate over that country. The
great body OF the Chinese people looked con-
fdently to the United States, which has been
their most consistent friend, to save them
from Japanese domination, and wnen they
awoke to the fact that the American govern
ment had not only failed in that direction,
but had actually acquiesced in Japan's special
interest policy, Cinnamon experienced a
severe shock.
But it is evident that the Chinese govern
ment has failed to grasp the full significance
OF the observation-disclosures agreement. Picking
fails to realize that tho United States has
taken a decisive step for the protection Of
China from ACKNOWLEDGMENT. The territorial
integrity Of that country is now guaranteed
duu TIC sovereignty Ol inc SNInCSG people
is ~safeguarded, whatever may be Japan's in
depreciation of the special interest" con-
cession.
Moreover, it is obvious that China does not
appreciate conditions as they actually exist
to-day. In granting to Japan Il special in
terest in Chinese affairs. the United States
was merely acknowledging what already oh
tains. That interest is now being exercised,
and has been for nearly three years. There
was no chance for this government to nego-
tiate Japan away from such Il relationship,
and certainly the present is no time for this
government to resort to threats or force in
dealing with n condition as distinguished
from q theory.
1t is 10 be hoped that our friends in China
will ultimately realize that in it's maneuvering
for the protection Of China's future, this
government made the best bargain that could
be contaminated. The territorial possessions
of that country arc to be preserved to it;
the sovereignty Of China's government is to
remain unaffected, and the open door, is TO
remain as wide open as when John Hay threw
1t ajar. These arc indeed fortunate circum-
stances for China, and when they are fully
comprchended they should rcassure the
Chinese people OF Americas fricndliness and
Solicitudo for them.
