China's Declaration of War

THE declaration OF war upon Germany by
1 China makes the seventeenth nation to
array itself with the entente countriee to
crush the power OF autocracy and make the
world safe for democracy. Her action i'm
ports much more than the weight OF moral
influence it will carry in determining the
issue of tho war. The republic has popu-
lation OF approximately 350,000,O00, with
organized military strength of about 400, 900
and reserves OF something like 100000, but
Its active participation in hostilities Is
neither anticipated nor desired by the allies
under existing military conditions.
The substantial gain to the allied cause
by China's action is the certain stoppage of
German intriguing in vantage territory and
the forestallng Of German schemes for OBJ
tanning railroad and other concessions vital
to that country's future commercial enter
prises and political ambitions in the Orient,
as we'll as the assurance 1t gives Of the re-
public's direct participation in the peace con-
ference at the close Of the war. This is of
very great Importance, and meets the un-
disguised wishes Of the allies, evidenced by
persistent diplomatic pressure to induce the
action taken. 1t will enable China to assert
her independence at the gathering, whereas
had she continued neutral she would have
been debarred. and japan would have repre-
scented her with not altogether altruistic
aims. This of itself will tend to greatly
simplify the determination of issues that 1t
is easily foreseen would gravely affect the
interests Of the various powers including
America, which is vitality concerned in the
equable solution OF problems originating in
the Far East. AS to the direct effect the
declaration will have upon Germany's pre-
war possessions in the republic, this will be
negligible Japan has already seized and
holds, over China's continued protest, Kiau-
chau, which includes 271 square miles of
territory and native population OF 1877 900,
over which Germany declared a protectorate
in 1898.
Moreover, source OF possible labor
supply, to meet the multiple needs of the
allies for carrying on operations necessary
to support military activities, China affords
an inexhaustible field for rich results.

Opportunity Knocks but Once

IF Richmond loses the great aviation station
proposed to be erected hero by the United
States Army, it need not put the blame on
the absentee Aldermen. whose failure to mus
ter a quorum prevented action on the re-
quest OF army officers for water connec-
ton. The blame is in city charter which
fails to give the Mayor power to act in such
a matter.
We have Council and a Board of Alder
men and an Administrative Board and a
Mayor. with various department chiefs and
subsidiary boards. With so much ma
chinery, there Is no wonder that some of II
gets rusty, that unpaid members lose in
terest, that meetings fail of quorums and
that the public business is extensively trans
acted. With an income exceeding $4,000
600 the year, we have SO many EMPLOYEES
that we cannot afford to pave streets or to
remove garbage. The interest on our debt
takes one-fourth OF the income, and the only
solution our solons have offered is to borrow
more money to create more Jobs. All this
is well known, yet when a body of taxpayinp
citizens inquiries OF candidates for the Cen
eral Assembly their views on the subject of
charter change. the answers are evasiye.
