States in circumstance which may
be said to have set the standard for
American diplomatic dealings with
Oriental powers.
In June. 1863. fire was opened on
the American merchantmen Penn
broke at the entrance of the Sea Of
Japan. Very soon the L. s. S. Wyo-
ming appeared and in ten minutes of
hot fighting sank two Japanese war
vessels and disabled a third. Other
trouble followed. An indemnity of
100000 was finally imposed by the
four powers. The share which the
United States received was $75O,O00.
1t lay on deposit twenty years in the
state department accommodating in

gress, claims were paid to the de-
pendents and heirs of those who
fought on the Wyoming. There re-
manned surplus of $7S5,000, some

nifty. and this was returned to ia
pan during the administration of
President Arthur. Three years lat

Mrs. Bret said that at the last
elections for the upper house IN the
summer of 1916 there had been 24'oOV
voters on the register. OF these
about 10000 were women. The age
limit for men voters was 35 and for
the women 40. but for each election
one year was taken off the women S

both sexes. Only 1,245 women had
voted out of 10000 who were quail

stftuencies for the lower house the
age for men voters was 20 and Gor

FEEDING TIE WOLF.

1.-THE more you see the more, by
Jimmy, you find out"
So it is with the Germans. Taught
through long course of particular
and scientific training to regard the
Teuton race as super human and the
Prussians the super men of all, our
ideals of them are crushed to earth
as day by day the true character Of
this race Is exposed. And too, how
could we ever expect that the wiles
of the military caste who ruled that
country would be born again in the
proletarian government, which, ac-
cording to the proclamations, has
cast aside all duplicity and is travel
ing only in the straight and narrow
path
But they all seem tarred with the
same stick. For four long years the
Germans carried on a war Of ruth
less vandalism. They made fright
fulness' their rule Of conduct under
which they committed not only every
crime from which q military advan-
tage could be reaped, but others for
starvation Of their opponents, if not
exactly a favorite diversion, was GER
tainIy common enough to lead one
to that belief, and there has been no
evidence Of compunction in their
minds or acts when they let their
prisoners and the inhabitants Of in
vaded countries die of hunger. Men
women and children-it was all the
same to them.
And these are the great people"
whose first cry is for bread after
defeat, giving no thought to the mil
lions they left to die Of hunger in
many lands, as so striklngly visual
lied in Darlings recent cartoon.
There Is a peculiar shamelessness in
this that is entirely consistent. When
the Germans were strong they took
what they wanted; now they cringe
and plead for It, In neither case have
they shown the feelings or observed
the obligations that are recognized
by all human beings, merely as such.
unless suffering from moral imbecil-
ity.
Their latest device to excite sym
pathy, the appeal Of their women to
the women of America, shows that
they would also appeal to the women
Of Belgium If the women of Belgium
had any help to give.
Germany will get the help she
Graves, but it will not be sent through
any notion that the aid is deserved
1t will be given with the same idea
that prompts one to feed a wolf
rather than take the chance Of be-
coming himself the VOLTS repast.
And, singuIarly enough, the Ger
man government, while demanding
first place in the bread line, has
constantly to be threatened with
punishment If it does not treat al
lied prisoners in it's hands with more
humanity.

IN THE SHADOW.

# What a tremendous debt of hatred
the German people owe Wilhelm OF
Hohenzollern and his military junta
for plunging the world into war. Not
mentioning any material wastage
the loss of 1,580,000 German citizens
killed within four years and half,
lis an ipconceivabIe price to be paid
for extension of territory and ag-
grandiZement Of a dynasty whose
history is blazoned with rapine and
dishonor.
& It is believable that even the con-
science of a HohenzoIlern would have
hesitated before the plunge, had the
picture Of such slaughter been pre-
sented before that fateful day in
July, 1914, when the German hosts
broke their covenant with Belgium
in the march to France. With that
fatuous belief in the invincibility of
German arms and mistaken view
point as to the worlds perception Of
their arms, and its will to resist,
these madmen thought only of quick
Victory, small losses and great booty;
that the end would justify the means
and that those left to protest
wouldn't count.
And the head and front of this
great plumferbund. What of him
whose word could have stayed, not
only this great slaughter Of his own
people, but of millions more from
other lands. And those other leaders
of lxultur, partners in the greatest
crime Of history! Are they, too. to
go scot free while the world bleeds
in misery because of their brazen
lust for territory and glory?
:. The record is not yet fully made
up, but already it appals world
grown used to horrors.
The shadow of a just punishment
grows larger as the story unfolds.
