Two women were walking up the

trians, who prides herself upon being
artistic, went into rhapsodies at the
sight of the statue of Diana.
She of the artistic temperament be-

observed the pasty complexion of

Therefore, in 1918, once again our
government instructed our minister
to China to reopen negotiations on
the subject. A little later, at the
Shanghai conference on the revision
of the customs tariff of China, the
imperial government readily in
dorsed the proposal by the Chinese
delegates to make opium one of the
prohibited articles Of importation in
to China, and this without waiting
for the conclusion of the negotia-
ton referred to above.
"3. The imperial government, al
together independent of all the here
tofore mentioned conferences and
negotiations has, of is own initiative,
vigorously forbidden Japanese SUBJ

in China refuse to accept parcel

Washington, April H.-Steps to-

terests built up by the government
during the war were taken today.
Director General Piez created new
section of the Emergency Fleet Cor
poration, designed to supervise the
disposal of $1,OO0,OOO worth of in
vestments to private concerns.
1t will be known as the plant dis

Mr.. Grants direction.
Termination of the war brought
about cancellation of contracts with
wood yards, and these will be the
first interests to be placed on the
market. Some will be turned over
to private owners, others will be
converted to industrial uses or util-
lied as repair yards. A few will be
"scrapped."
Steel yards placed on the market,
will be sold to individuals who de-
sire to continue building ships. Fab

products. Seven concrete yards al

The part played by the Chinese
coolie in winning the war for civil

preciated by the world at large" says
Mr. Cole, who had charge of the 81
Y. NJ. c. A. huts established for the
Chinese in the western war zone,
"In all there were about 100000
Chinese laborers employed on the
westercn front" said Mr.. Cole, cor
the equivalent of about four army
divisions They were divided into
companies of 500 each, with officers
from the British, American and
French armies, and constituted an
important factor in the success
achieved by the fighting forces.
ut is no disparagement to the
other nationalities to say that the
Chinese were by far the best work.
men that we had in the war zone, for
they were all physically fit whereas
the best men of the nations actively
engaged in the war had been drafted
for army service. Not only were
they excellent physical specimens
but they showed a willingness and
eagerness to work that made them
especially valuable. They were
fearless under fire, and many Of
them were killed at their work of
digging trenches and placing barbed
wire entanglements under fire.
when the big spring drive Of the
Germans was in full swing about a
year ago, the Chinese were literally
indispensable. At that time it was

performed a work then that / don't
believe any other class of labor
could have done. 1t was they, az
much as the fighting men, who stop
ped the gaps and barred the road to
Paris and the Channel ports"
"The American doughboy has es..
pecial reason to be grateful to the
coolie for the kindheartedness, said
Mr.. Cole.
Il remember several occasions last
summer, when the Americans were
marching into battle, hot, tired and
thirsty, that the coolies along tho
line. of march would bring pals Of
water suspanded from poles across
their shoulders and pass it among
the boys to drink When the dough-
boys would attempt to pay for this
servise, the Chinese would not ac-
cept cent from them"
"The Y. M. c. A. secretaries a.
ssigned to work among the Chinese
were for the most part former mis-
sionaries, and practically all of them
were able to speak the language,

Japan Denies China's
Opium Trade Charges

We reproduce below an Official
Japanese statement denying China's
charges that Japan has fortered the
opium trade in China. This state
ment emanates from the Japanese
Foreign Office in Tokyo and has
been made public by Consul--General
Yada at New York 1t is an official
denial of definite charges brought
by the North China Daily News. one
of Chinia's most Influential news
papers, which have been copied ex-
tensively both in this country and
abroad. The charges did not COM
plain of Japan's laws. but of their
non-enforcement in China; e. g.,
it did not claim that Japanese laws
forbade the Japanese Postoffice in
China to carry packages of opium.
It stated that it did. in fact carry
large quantities of opium. doubtless
| under falst labels. The Japanese
statement reads:
"Of late denunciation against the
| Japanese in connection with deals in
opium, cocaine and morphine in Chi
ma has become more and more persis-
tent Some of the chitics have gone
so far as to spread the report that
our postoffice and the imperial army
are protecting illegal practices in
connection with drugs. These re-
ports have been especially n,anufac-
tured with no other object in view
than to wreck the friendly relations
between China and Japan.
"In connection with the measures
against importation of opium into
China the imperial government OF
Japan is and has been considering in
all sincerity all practical methods to
maks them effective. as is indicated
in the following:

as the ther interested powers which
took part see no objection to putting
them into practice our government
will not hesitate to proceed at one
to bring the treaty provisions int
practical fruition.
