Toxic, Feb. 9.-(Correspondence of
the Associated Press. AT a time
when Japan is seeking to win the
friendship of China, interest is at
tached to an article by T. Yamamoto,
a well known publicist, urging an
economic alliance between japan and
China In the Japan Magazine, he
says that Japan regards the present
as opportune for entering on a solu-
ton of all her problems concerning
China, and that the general convict
ion is that if the chance is allowed
to pass it will not occur again in a
thousand years.
Hitherto" he says, "Japan's pro-
~gress in solving such problems has
been retarded by molestation from
abroad and by conflicting views
among her own statesmen. Now that
western powers are too preoccupied
with the war in Europe to be IN a
humor for meddling in affairs be-
tween Japan and China, it should
prove a convenient moment for car
rying out a fundamental solution OF
the various questions at issue be-
tween Japan and her big neighbor.
"China has been living from hand
to mouth financially for years. Japan
is coming to tbs conviction that the
real yellow peril in China Is borrowed
gold. The two countries most able
now to advance China the money
she needs are America and Japan;
and already the rivalry between them

ENEMY PRIVATE PROPERTY

Formal assurance has been given by the
of war it has no intention of Selling bank
deposits and other property of foreigners
here. The announcement is timely, in view
of the wild rumors being circulated re-
garding property in general and ships in
particular.
AS Secretary of War Baker has ex-
planned, the precautionary measures taken
with regard to certain ships have been
taken to insure the peace and security of
the harbor. Their crews have a perfect
right to dismantle them, provided it is &C
complished in an orderly manner, Just as a
man on land may demolish a house, under
certain conditions, but does not have the
right to set it afire. Not only has the United
States made no seizure, but as Secretary
Baker says, it claims no right to the
vessels"
According to modern practice-and
the United States identified itself with the
principle during the Spanish American
war-a reasonable time is allowed enemy
ships found in the harbors of belligerents
upon the outbreak of hostilities to effect
enemy mail boats designed with a view to
speedy conversion into cruisers, Oppenheim
international Law, II, 112) thinks an ex-
ception might legally be made, and that
they might be prevented from leaving Nat
| urally, government that commanders
national resources, and can seize or destroy
all neutral ships and property, under the
right of angary, should military necessity
demand it-with full compensation to the
owners-would be justified in exerting the
same right with belligerent subjects, pro-
vided they, too were Unidentified.
| But the need is not so overwhelming as
to justify the measure, and until our own
resources were exhausted, it is not to be
thought that the United States would at
tempt to enforce right upon vessels that
had sought sanctuary here and that now,
caught in trap, could only appeal to our
generosity.
To command German ships to leave port
withinothree days under pain of confsca-
ton if war were declared, would, in view
of present conditions, be an injustice of
which the United States is incapable. And
| If they were seized for military purposes
their owners would receive full compensa-
ton. Meanwhile, the civil rights of enemy
subjects domiciled here would not be abro-
gated; and, indeed, things would go on Just
as usual, if they comported themselves in a
dignihed manner, for whatever their sym
pathies, they would be helping, by taxes
the country of their domicile, which in re
turn owes them security in person anc
property.

Wise Lesson
There will be a number of lessons to
draw from the cold weather that has
done Florida such financial injury
one of the wisest of which is the
warning it gives to farmers not to

for.the establishment of stock farms

IMP PRESSIONS OF BRITISH PRESS
 ON WAR COUNCIL

London, Nov. 22-The Anglo-Amer- ican War Conference yesterday in Downing Street is featured by the morning newspapers and is comment ed upon as an event of the highest importance. Much is said of the pic turesque historical side of the meet ing, which occurred in the same room where the errors were made that drove the American colonies to sep arate from the motherland, but the practical aspects are given equal em- phasis. :
 While Pi,mier Lloyd Georges statement on the needs of the Allies receives attention, the point also is made that it is necessary for the Al lies to remember that the United States is not in the war solely or main ly for their benefit. Thus, the Post says:
 tAmericans know as well as we that they are in the war to protect themselves from a danger which seri- ously menaced them. They are bus mess men, over here strictly on busi- ness.'
 "The United States did not join the belligerents to save France or help Great Britain" says the Daily Ex- press. "She Is fighting the Germany of Kaiser William for exactly the same reason that she fought the Eng land of Lord North. Her individual and national freedom is at stake.''
 The Daily News, on the other hand, dwells on the advent of the United States as a "bulwark of confidence" for the Allies, and says it has changed the character of the war and placed the issue beyond doubt. Following out this view. 1t says that eff in the closing phases of the war she is the commanding figure. we shall have no envy and no regrets" and contends that is so chiefly because Americas s Eentry is a spiritual fact looking to the eventual establishment of "a new sort of peace-a peace founded upon the commonwealth of the world"
 Hope Is expressed that Americans will not become sentimental or allow themselves to be influenced by hu- manitarian consideration in waging a war, as ''war is most cruel when most prolonged. and the only policy is that of .firmness. Hitherto on our side has been too much parrying and too little striking"

St. Cunegundes.

St. Cunegundes was the daughter of Sigefrido, the first Count of Lux emburg, and Hadeswige, his pious wife. She was married to St. Henry, Duke of Bavaria, who, upon the death of the Emperor Otho III. was chosen king of the Romans. In the year 1914 she went with her husband to Rome, and received the imperial crown with him from the hands of Pope Benedict VIII. She had, by St. Henry's consent, before her marriage, made VOW of virginity, and in order to prove her innocence when islanders were later circulated against her, 1t Is said that she walked publicly over red hot ploughshares without being hurt. St. Cunegundes devoted all her monastery at Kaffungen and after Henry died, in 1924. she became a nun in the religious institution she had founded She laid aside all in- signia of her high birth and devoted herself earnestly to religious works and ministration to the needy. It is said that when the nuns perceived that her end was approaching they prepared richly embroidered gar ment in which to bury her. St. Cune- gundes, however, suspecting their de- sign, ordered that she be laid to rest in the robes of the poor. She died in 1040, after having been a nun for IS years Her body was carried to Ban- berg and buried near that of her husband. She was canonized by Pope Innocent TIL, in 1900.

Peasants Accuse
 Bavarian Officials

Copenhagen, Nov. 22.-Dr. Helm, leader of the Bavarian Peasant Party, has written an article attacking high officials of the government purchas- ing and distributing agencies for pri- vate profiteering at the public ex- pense. Discussing the sale of the Danube Mercantile fleet, established by the Central Purchasing Society for transporting grain and food products from Rumania and Hungary to the Bavarian Lloyd, private shipping concern, Dr. Helm shows that the Ba- varian Lloyd was given an extraordin- ary bargain. He charges also that Privy Chancellor Frisch, managing di- rector of the Central Purchasing So- cfety, who negotiated the sale. had be- come director of the steamship con- cern So also has high Bavarian official.
 Dr. Helm declares that six other high officials of the government pur- chasing agency are in the pay of large private concerns. The Central Pur- chasing Society is a government mon- opoly established to purchase and i'm port foodstuffs from abroad. The Ba. varlan Lloyd is a Danube shipping

DENTISTS START CAMP AICN
 FOR AMBULANCE

A campaign to raise funds for the purchase of a, dental ambu1ance has been started by the dentists of Con necticut This ambulance will be the gift of the Connecticut dentists to the U. s. army and will be sent to the battle front abroad. Forty of these ambulances representing differ ent states, have been donated and are doing service or are on their way to France.
 The dental ambulance idea is an outgrowth of an absolute necessity and it was designed to meet the great loss of man power due to dental needs. This war alone has demon efficiency and sound mouth conditions 50 much so that within the last month new legislation has been enacted equally ranking the dentist with the medical man in the army and navy.

TODAY,S ANNIVERSARIES.

The Royal Exchange in England, the first great institution of its kind, was founded by Sir Thomas Gresham, who died in London 33S years ago today. The original building con- structed by Gresham in 1870, and ded- icated by Queen Elizabeth, who con- ferred the title of Royal upon it, was destroyed by the great fire of 1868. Charles I. laid the foundation of the next edifice, which was also burned, in 1888. The Royal Exchange was opened in 1844. The materials for Gresham's building were all inn ported from Flanders, and the archi- tect also hailed from that country, while the BoRrse at Antwerp served as a model. The, open court where the merchants and traders gathered presented strange spectacle, as it was a gathering place of the nations, and most ot the merchants chung to the garb of their own countries.
