When the discovery of 900" was

After little it was agreed that
two doses were rather more GER

A year later experienced physi-
Clans were advocating from three
to six doses, and not into the mus

Then the willy Germans thought
it was about time to improve the

their favOrite way. Salvarsan was
the trademark title for 500" The
improvement was called neO-saI-
varsan- meaning new salvarsan.
Ring out the old, when the doctors
begin to lose faith in it and ring
in the new. That is characteristic
of German chemical commerce. For
so years before the war the Hun
chemical manufacturers fattened
on the creduilty of American and
Canadian doctors. Each new me-
dicinal discovery possessed all the
virtues of the old remedy it was
designed to replace. but somehow
had none of the untoward effects or
drawbacks of the old remedy. That,
too, was typiCally boche.

"WeW Keep It." States Japan.

There is abundant evidence confirm the oft
repeated statement that Germany is not colonizing
power; her ruthless treatment of the native popua
tions and the exploitation of all resources for her
own selfish ends made the very mention of her
name abhorrent and no greater crime could be COM
mitted than TO give her the power continue such
a system of disagreement that has been nothing
short OF a disgrace to civilization.
Japan has made it clear that she will not relin-
quish Tsingtau, China. which she captured from the
Germans in the early days of the and the reason
is not far to seek Japanese enterprise has made
the town and district large industrial center.
Although Germany occupied this important city

report issued by the Japanese government. up
to the outbreak of the only a brewery and two
flour mills were erected there. Immediately after
its occupation by Japan the Japanese military ad-
ministraon and later the japanese civil admnistra-
ton began the encouragement Of japanese industries
to build Tsing,au
The administrations leased land to factory
owners at very low rents and promised them exemp-
ton from all taxes or levies for certain periods.
Electric power supplied at largely discounted
rates and it was arranged for the Shantung railway
to discount freight on raw materials or manu-
featured products carried from these Japanese
plants.
The output Of the Tsingtau Flour Mill company
is 225O sacks day. Other factories in Tsingtau

RANROW RAY.

from her love of gaudy spangles,
pretty bits OF glass jeweIry, scarfs,
ribbons and attire of highly varie-
gated color. She was neither wild
nor eerie. rather sunny and evan
essential sparkle, all mirth and
bubbling over with a full faith in
mankind and a love for animals,
birds and flowers.
Ray was the daughter Of a Gypsy
woman who had married a circus
rider. Shortly after the death Of
the latter. Mrs. Despard came to

soon passed away. All she left to

Germany and International Law.

The attorney general Of England states that IN
view Of a possible early ending of the war he has
given close attention the subject of international
law and he is firm IN the conviction that there is
in international law" abundant warrant for the
punishment both in their persons and in their purses
Of the proved and identified criminals. That those
persons who can be identifed-be it kaiser, field
marshal, or common soldier-wth universally ad-
mitted acts of outrage are to escape with impunty
is view of the situation which I certainly should
find it difficult to accept"
we are told" he added "it will not be possible
for Germany to pay indemnities. There are great
assets in Germany and it is irrelevant whether these
assets are pledged the citizens who have supplied
the money for the war. The answer to the German
government on that point is; You have pillaged and
DESTROYED Belgium and ravaged France and your
first obligation is to compensate Begium-as far as
any payment of money can really do that-and then
France. and then you consider the claims of
those who put up the money to enable you to com
NIT such atrocious outrages.'"
So that while Germany has defed international
law and scofed at treaties scraps of paper there
is to be a way to compel her and her lovers to
spect and obey the laws of nations as well as the
laws of war and of humanity.
