THE DRAMA IN THE ORIENT
By WILLIAM s. HOWE

split into warning parties and her
army is in no condition for a modern
campaign. It will be necessary to de-
pend on Japan for its equipment, or
ganization and direction. The same
will probably be true of her Northern
railways, over which supplies and
troops must go. It will likely be-
come necessary to provide for nu-
merous japanese advisers in the mill
tary and political sphere, and thus
certain of the original demands in
Group 5 will be realized. Already,
according to a report appearing in
the Daily Mail, the Chinese govern
ment has decided on full cooperation
with Japan and is sending military
delegates to Toxic and requesting the
dispatch of Japanese delegates to
China.
On the other hand, by actively dis
approving the Siberian project, we
may once more arouse the hostility
of those elements in Japan not in
clined naturally to great cordiality
with America. There is always the
possibility that pressure restrained in
one direction may burst out in an
other, and the present Japanese gov
ernment may not be able to curb the
forces of impatience as it did before.
For the developments in Russia, Ru-
mania and the Eastern front gener-
ally have altered the situation so that
the eventual victory of the allies may
not appear such a mathematical GER
tainty to the Japanese observer, as it
did eighteen months ago. At the
best, it must seem a contingency far
removed from the present. Japan
may well consider herself to hold the
balance of power and be able to die
tate according to her own desires.
Just how much the strength Of the
forward party has gained by the col
lapse of Russia cannot be well judged;
it is safe to assume that it is much
stronger than previously, however,
and that it is not an impossibility that
Count Terauchi will be forced to COM
promise with it. The Siberian expe-
dition may be carried out, even with
out allied approval, or it may be aban-
doned in favor of reopening the pro-
cess of gaining a rapid control over
China. 1t is hardly within the realm
of possibility that with the present
government there could ever be di-
rect break with the entente. But the
return to power of man like Baron
Kato would probably signify that the
more aggressive factors were again
dominant and some outlet for their
energies must be found.
Whatever course we take it should
be generally realized that the ice we
are treading is of the thinnest va
riety.

SUCCESS OF STATE FUNDS IN
WORKMEN'S COMPENSATION
is WORRYING COMPANIES.

Private Industrial insurance COM
panies are now worrying over the
rapid growth and success of state
insurance funds for workmen's COM
pensation, according to the Baltimore
Underwater.
Some Of the companies, says the edi-
tor, are debating whether it is any
longer worth while trying to COM
pete with the state fund. State boards
are Irritating" the companies by their
"habit" of constantly reducing the
cost. All the companies, he adds,
"are sitting uneasily under the slen-
der thread that holds the Damoclesian
blade-with the accent on the Dam"
Commenting on the progress of
state funds, which are showing a saw
ing of millions Of dollars each year
to industry while providing liberal
benefits to injured workers and their
families, and referring to the posi-
tion of the casualty companies as
"precarious," the New York Globe in
its department devoted to insurance
affairs says:
Industrial boards and state funds
continue to disturb the mental and eco
nomic equilibrium of companies writing
compensation business. Two or three
years ago ignominious failure was pre-
dicted for these public institutions,
but despite occasional laundering,
their expansion persists and employ
ers find their activities both benefi-
cial and praiseworthy. In the opin-
ion of some close observers, it is only
a question of very short time before
the companies will beat retreat and
the 'semi-political organizations which
casualty underwriters have denounced
from Hades to Kalamazoo, will have
the field to themselves"

PRINCESsEs TRIM HATS.

When the war work of the Y, W. c. A. in Russia has all been told, one Of the most interesting stories will lie in the establishment of the first Women's Cooperative Association at Moscow.
 There, day after day, princesses work side by side with peasant girls, wives of high Russian officials make dresses or trim hats at long tables with simple, unlettered women-and the money Is used for self support of these princesses and notable women as well as for the peasant classes.
 ''The need and suffering through out all Russia was so great at the time the Association was establish ed," Miss Helen Ogdon, a Y. w. c. A. secretary sayg. that it was a prob lem to find where the money would help the greatest number of people. It was thought best to expend it to help capitalize organizations for giv- ing work and permanent opportuni- ties to families and individuals tc earn their own living.

MISS HUTT NEW
 EXECUTIVE SEC'Y

Miss Mary Elizabeth Hut of Brooklyn, N. Y, former executive secretary of the National War Saw 1ngs Committee, has recently come to | Connecticut to act as the executive secretary of the Connecticut Woman Suffrage Association. Miss Hut, who has been with the National War Saw ings Committee since its organiza- ton last spring, had entered her ap- plication and been accepted for hospital service with the Red Cross and was constantly expecting her summons to service when all requisi- tons were cancelled, whereupon she promptly accepted the newly created position of executive secretary for the Connecticut Woman Suffrage As Sociation. This position was created as the result of the decision of the executive board of the association that the work of the state organizer had grown too extensive to be done by one person. Consequently the work had been divided between an executive and legislative secretary, one of whom will be the director of the office and field work and the other will have supervision of legisla- tive work. --. .--..-.-. r-----
 Miss Hut also had wide experience in the New York state campaign where she acted as field secretary in Putnam, Duchess, Columbia, Ulster and Greene counties during the 1915 campaign and in the 1917 campaign she covered the Adirondack section and during the last year was assigned to Brooklyn, which went over the top for suffrage by a larger majority than any borough of Greatre New York
