the Swedes will not miss him more than

Prof. Lund has been for years one of
the biggest and most broadminded men in
the conference circles. Always. whenever
any important subject was up for discus

the right side. All good sportsmen who
know him wish him success in his new
line of work.

Charles Comiskey, owner of the White
SoX, says. Jim may not be on the mar

money from the Old Roman.
Jim is not so much a man of habits as
he is of bad luck, his friends assert He
gets out of condition thru fault of his
own and then he fails to get back into
tip top pitching shape thru negligence and
Indifference.

Red-headed girls are the most in

So say many of Washington's en-
ployers of female labor.

Washington, states that experience

Commerce when the boss of the rou-

secretary. And he points out that she
is one of the most efficient secretaries
in the city.
Mr.. Grant classes girl workers as
follows:
One red head Is worth three very
dark brunettes.
One dark brunette Is worth three
blondes.
And one red head Is worth six
blondes.
Following up his physiognomical
study of types of office workers.
among girls, Mr.. Grant says that
he has found that the girls with the
chestnut hair are also very intensive

Integrity of All the States
Assured in u. S.-Japan Pact
Recent Agreement Between Lansing and Count
Ishii Considered Best Safeguard for
Future Comfy of Nations.

Japan and the United States have
laid down the principle upon which
the peace of the world may be built.
Important as is the attainment of a
perfect understanding between the
United States and Japan. Washing
ton considers that Secretary Lansing
has enunciated the principle upon
which the United States will contend
for the organization of international
society after the war. 1t is two-fOld
United in the Ishii-Lansing notes it
is as follows:
The sovereign integrity of all States
must be respected.
Neighboring States have a special
interest in each other.
Had this been universally accepted
in 1914, it was pointed out yesterday,
the assassination of an Austrian crown
prince by Serbians would have been
but a local question. There would
have been no leaning Of one nation
upon the other. Europe's "house of
cards" would not have tumbled it.

Thus. while the notes specifically
concern only the relation OF the United
States and Japan with China. their
result may he well-nigh revolutionary
throughout the world.
All Problems Solved.
Though the notes made public yes
terday concern only the Chinese ques-
ton. it is intimated that every other
matter between the United States
and Japan has been solved. Secretary
Lansing admits that complete argee-
ment has been reached with regard
to the naval control Of the Pacific
during the war. This is taken to in
clude the agreements for the trans
fer of japanese ships to the trans
Atlantic trade. The State depart-
ment will not make the details of
these agreements public for military

The principal involved are laid down
in a letter from Mr.. Lansing TO Wis
count Ishii on last Friday. The Jap

ton of the same language for his
government. The notes are written.
according to Mr.. Lansing. to silence
'mischievous reports" of disagree
ments between the two nations. Ger
many is blamed by both Lansing and
Ishii for the mischief. The important
phrases are as follows:
THE governments OF the United
States and Japan recognize that ter
ritorial propinquity creates special re-
lations between countries, and, con-
sequently, the government of the
United States recognizes that Japan
has special interests in China. par
tcularly I'm the part to which her
possessions are contiguous.
No Special Privileges.
Moreover. they mutually declare
that they are opposed to the acduisi-
ton by any government of any spe-
cial rights or privileges that would
affect the independence or territorial
integrity of China or that would deny
TO the subjects or citizens of anv
country the full enjoyment of equal
opportunity in the commerce and in
dustry Of China"

tion with the war with Germany, Mr..
Lansing said yesterday:

showed the same spirit of sincerity
and candor which characterized the
negotatins resulting in the exchange
of rates.
"At the present time It is inexpe-
dent to make public the details of
these conversations, but it may he
said that this government has been
gratified by the assertions of Viscount
Ishii and his colleagues that their
government desired to do their part
in the suppression of Prussian mill

in every practical way to that emo.

pose of attaining the common object
against Germany and her allies have
been reached between the represen-
tative of the Japanese navy. who is
attached TO the Special Mission of
Japan and the representative of the

In the same way that the United
States recognizes the right Of japan
to special measures in China, japan
acknowledges the right of the United
States to take special steps in Mex

OF World Importance.

In characterizing the agreement. in
ternational lawyers yesterday were at
sea for comparison, so far in advance
of any other international principle
have the notes gone. It is far more
than the Monroe Doctrine. 1t is more
than the open-door policy. The near
est analogy which was brought to
mind was the doctrine of Pan-Amer-
icanism. 1t might be called Pam
Asianism We're it not for the fact that
the United States is included. 1t is
in this sense that the agreement as
sumes its world importance.
With regard to the enforcement of
the agreement, an important state
ment was made here. 1t was pointed
out that the agreement itself contained
no means of enforcement. The reply
was this:
Does good faith amount to noth-
ing?"
1t is under this American concept of
