The Ishii-Lansing Agreement.

In its application, as Capt. Cutie said,
lies the value of the Japanese-American
agreement as to China. In its terms the
agreement assures China's sovereignty
and territory, and it also assures the
maintenance Of the open door. In those
respects it is undeniably to the interest
of all powers, and it is to be welcomed
as an achievement of value. The United
States recognizes that Japan has special
rights in China without defining them.
1t is i'll the manner of the enforcement
of those rights and their limitation and
application that the real test of this
agreement viii come.
Viewed from the American standpoint
the 1shii- i-Lansing convention, as it may
be termed, is emphatically to be well
coined. 1t sweeps away the possibility
of misunderstanding between the two
countries and eements friendship that
should never have been weakened
1t may be expected that Japan will
now USE with China the fact that the
United States has recognized the pos
session of a special interest just how
far the Toxic government will 60 in ap-
plying this principle, which is similar
to the Monroe doctrine in this hemi-
sphere, cannot be foretold. But, as a
measure of restraint, reliance is to be
placed upon the specific disclaimer of de-
sign against the sovereignty or territory
of China or the opportunity of all ma
tions for equal trade in that country
Japan's pledge to observe these prinei-
pies is definite and formal.

Dangerous Picket Fences.

A little boy was impaled on an iron
picket fence at one of the city schools
the other day and seriously injured
The suggestion has been made that
fences of this type be removed from
school premises, and it should be seri-
ously considered. The sharp pointed
fence is relic of a period when bound
ary barriers had to be made dangerous
to intruders. It has no place where chill
dren are engaged in play. To the small
boy fence is merely moral boundary
and is not an actual bar to his progress.
Any railing will serve to denote the yard
limits, and all of these markers should
be SO made as to present the least chance
of injury to the children. Whoever has
jurisdiction over these matters, the
Commissioners or the board Of educa-
ton, should order the removal of all
sharp points from the school yard
fences, to prevent a repetition of a
shocking accident of this character.

The ash-Barrel Bank.

A resident of Washington the other
day reported the loss of over $1,000
from tin box which he had slowed in
a trash barrel for safe-keeping, represent
ing his savings of years. This money,
which he was afraid to put into bank
for fear Of its failure, had been stolen.
It seems remarkable that in this day
there should be such prejudice against
banking institutions, such unwarrant-
able fear. This is a reminder Of the
old times when banks were rated as
risky institutions, which is almost beyond
the recollection Of the present younger
generation. Hoarded savings, such as
this man kept in the trash barrel, rep
resent really wasted money. Tia cash

Dog Taxes High Enough.

4 Commissioner GARDENERS suggestion of
m increase in the dog tax from So to
80 year can be justified only on the
score Of public safety, as there is no
need of the additional revenue that such
Q change in the rate would possibly
yield. It may be assumed that with the
tax quintupled fewer persons would Sc
cure licenses to keep dogs and there
fore the number of dogs unlicensed and
subject to be impounded would increase
This would doubtless decrease the dog
population, provided the work Of gath
ering in the unauthorized dog was thor
.oughly done. But the District already
has remedy for lessening danger from
dogs. in the muzzle regulation, a full
enforcement of which, through the
seizure Of unmuzzled dogs, would be
quite as effective as an increase in the
tax and consequent impounding of
strays. Why not enforce the muzzling
rule strictlys Mere prejudice against
dogs should not cause the imposition of
. practically prohibitive tax. In any
case, the difficulties of enforcing the
pound rules, great as they may be now,
would be seriously increased under a
80 tax, which would many times mul-
tiply the number Of strays and un-
licensed animals. If unmuzzled dogs
running at large are now a menace to
health few more pound wagons will
soon abate the nuisance.

America in the War Council.

In its personnel the American war
mission, which has just safely arrived
| in England, is impressive as a thorough
ly representative body. AT the head
| is Col. E. NJ. House, who has acquired
a high reputation as special repre-
sentative of the President in various i'm
portant missions. Gen. Bliss, represent
ing the Army; Admiral Benson, repre-
senting the Navy; Mr.. Crosby for the
Treasury, Mr.. Mccormick for the war
trade board, Mr.. Colby for the shipping
board, DR.. Taylor for the food admin
| istration and Mr.. Perkins for the pri-
ority board, with Mr.. Auchinclass as
secretary, constitute 4 working body
bringing into active contact with the al
lied authorities all the vital war activi-
ties Of this government.
This mission is not merely to England,
but to the allied war conference. which
will be held in Paris next week Through
the presence of these commissioners the
United States will take its place at the
council table of the entente. Missions
have come to the United States from
practically all of the allied powers, and
by dispatching this delegation our coun-
try has not merely made return of the
compliment, but has put in train course
of practical reciproration.
Through coordination alone this war
is to be won. 1t is not fight of one
power or any group of neighboring pow
ers against Germany, but an alliance that
must work as a whole to make sure of
victory. In this war success can be scored
only through thorough economic, fnan-
cial and industrial as we'll as military
cooperation. The conference at Paris
IS the first complete alignment Of the
anti German powers. 1t is specially i'm
portant in view of the recent German
successes in Russia and Italy Now as
never since the violation of Belgium is
it essential to insure the greatest pos
sible strengthening of lines, the fullest
production of munitions and food and
the most abundant provision Of ships for
the transport of troops and supplies.

war was declared putting the state into
shape for bearing her part Of the bur
den. He has made several visits to
Washington on war errands, and is un-
firing in his war work. At home he
is already known as the war governor.
Take Kentucky. The feature of the
campaign in the Blue Grass state was the
contest over the mayoralty of Louis
vile. The town normally is democratic,
but a republican won. His success, how
ever, had no relation to the war, except
as rebuke to those who had lugged
the war into the campaign. Some of the
Presidents friends, in their desperation
upon finding the battle going against
them, appealed for votes in his name and
that Of the war, but in vain. The issues
at stake were purely local, and the
voters decided that the republicans had
the best of the argument.
Upon the whole, the President was
badly served by his friends in the cam
paigns. The effort to keep him out of
the New York fight was awkwardly exc
euted. although well enough conceived.
In neither Massachusetts, nor Kentucky
did he have any proper place in the
fight; and yet he was formally intro
duced by men standing near to him and
authority to speak. All three
states are supporting the war, and will
abate none of their activities because
OF campaigns which had no bearing upon
the war. and the results of which can
affect only local issues.

Russia's New Revolution.

Today's news from Petrograd is most
grave The Maximalists, led by Lenine,
have seized control of the capital, de-
posed Kerensky and arrested some of
the ministers, and with the aid of the
garrison executed a coup d'etat which
completely overturns the provisional
government. It is 4 new revolution
The most serious aspect of the situation
is that the new power in Russia de-
clares for ian immediate just peace"
which indicates that the German in
trigue at Petrograd has succeeded.
Russia may not wholly cease her mill
tary activities, but it is evident that in
any event for time there can be no
reliance upon her for effective cam
paigning against Germany or her allies.
With Russia rendered virtually impo
tent by domestic quarrels and the de-
mands Of pacifst faction, its leaders
corrupted doubtless by Germany, the
burden of the war falls more heavily
upon the American people.
We must meet this new condition with
pledges of all that will be needed to
carry the war to victorious conclu
sion. Even if Russia resolves her in
ternal disputes without making separate
peace with Germany, the force required
to stem the Teutonic tide in Europe
must come from here. Germany's recent
massing of men and guns against the
Italians was permitted by the virtual
suspension of Russian war efforts. Now
on the Livenza river the lines are form
ing to check the invasion of Italy. A
crisis is at hand Our own troops are
going over as fast as possible. More
must 60, to Italy if they can be sent,
or to France to relieve seasoned men
for dispatch to the southern line.
Germany must be defeated There is
NO other conceivable end. We have only
begun to raise our Army, and we must
move more rapidly. Every sacrifice must
be made to present with the least de-
lay the strongest array of American
fighting men in Europe, which is the
battle ground for our liberties.
Speed up the training! Speed up the
ships to carry the men over to Francel
Speed up the supplies! The German
plan to defeat the allies separately and
then to demand "war map" peace,
which would be German victory, must
b defeated.

is Of no good to anybody. It draws
no interest; it does no work. It is as
useless as a man who has been sent to
Jail and kept there in idleness for some
offense against the laws. Attention is
directed to this case in the hope that
it may induce others, possibly afflicted
with the same unreasonable fear of
banks, to put their funds into safe-keep-
ing where they will be of use. If they
do not trust banks the skeptical owners
of accumulated funds can always find
safe investment in government bonds,
which are now being offered from time

We thought that war had done away

We thought the village orators would
ponder and be still
Except on topics that pertained to issues

The rights of man to live, by laws both
human and divine.
We jumped right in as usual, and we
called each other names,
And threw rocks at the pictures folks
