weeks of time in Rutland County
court and has cost the state of Yer.
mont many thousands OF dollars.
The result of the trial was the
pfomnt acqaittal of Eastman and.
Judging entirely from The newspaper
reports OF the trial, the verdict Of the
jury was thoroughly justified by the
evidence.
The case hinged on an old docu.

AMERICANS.

Reports from Paris state that tho
revelation Of the secret arrangement
between Great Britain and Franco and
Japan relative to Japan's claim to
the Pacific Islands and valuable
rights in Shantung came as conn.,
plcte surprise to President Wilson
and tho American high commission.

cause l recall that when I was in
Paris tho attitude of tho American
high commission was that China was
Justified in resisting Japan's de-
mands to rights and concessions in
Shantung which, it was held, would
give Japan practical control OF that
rich province.
Tho Chinese contention was that
the treaty under which the rights
Sore conceded and the concessions
made to Japan was signed by China
under compulsion. The Chinese assert
cd that they were given the alternative
either Of signing the treaty offered
or having Japan declare lis possession
of Shantung permanent.
