SOVEREIGN RIGHTS NOT
ACQUIRED BY GERMANY

New York, Sept 1.-THE Nation, in
its current issue. prints what it says
is the first complete and accurate
English translation ever made of the
Chinese-Germans treaty of 1898 by
which Germany acquired rights in the
Chinese port of Kiau Chau and the
province of Shantung, together with
the German text as obtained from the
Chinese imperial maritime customs
office at Shanghai
This treaty, the Nation states, shows
that Germany never acquired any
sovereign rights in Shantung and the
publication of the treaty is made as
bearing on President Wilson's state
ment that Japan had promised ito re-
turn the sovereignty without qualifi-
cation to China"
The treaty was signed by L! Hung
Chang and Baron Won Kicking. The
Nation says that as Germany secured
no sovereign rights in Shantung under
the treaty, Japan obviously cannot re-
turn to China something she never
possessed and that in retaining eco
monte rights Japan is holding all the
treaty gave her.

WOMEN DOING WAR WORK

During the war women We're called
into almost every vocation in life. and
right well did they assume. the re-
sponsibilities and fill such positions.
In many instances, however, their
strength has been overtaxed, and such
ailments as are peculiar to their sex
have fastened themselves upon them.
Such women should remember there
is tried and true remedy for their
troubles in Lydia Z. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound. which for more than
three generations has been relieving
the women of America from some OF
the worst forms of female ills.

If We do not take part in this thing,
what happens? France and England
are absolutely bound to it without any
qualification. The alternative, there
fore, is to defend China in the future,
though there may be concessions to
begin with. or else let the world go
back to its old methods of rapacity, or
else take up arms against France and
England and Japan and beginning the
shedding of blood all over again, al
most a fratricidal blood. Does that
sound like a practical program? Does
that sound like doing China a service {?

rose.
II must get to work now, boys. We
can talk Il over tonight" And then,
handing me the manuscript: ''Take

look It over at your leisure"
As Charlie Webster and I passed
out into the street noticed the fell
low Of the sinister pockmarked visage
standing near the window of the In
ner Office. The window was open, and
anyone standing outside could easily
have heard everything that passed
inside. AS the fellow caught my eye
he smiled unpleasantly and skunk of
down the street.
"Who is that fellow7" asked Char.
He. "He's Squeer-looking specimen"
"Yesl he's no good. Yet he's more
half-witted than bad, perhaps. His
face is against him, poor devil"
And we went our ways till the eve

study Of the narrative. There, seated
on the pleasant veranda, I. went over
it carefully, sentence by sentence.

Charlie Webster.
Precisely. Well, as I was saying,
those old fellows would bury their

During the summer OF 1908 was
paying what must have seemed like an
1nterminable visit to my old friend
John Saunders, who at that time filled
with becoming dignity the -high-sound-
ing Office Of secretary Of the treasury
'of his. majesty's government. in the
quaint little town Of Nassau. in the
island Of New Providence, one Of
those Bahama islands that lie half
lost to the world to the southeast Of
the Caribbean sea and form some
what neglected portion Of the British
West Indies.
Time was when they had sounding
name for themselves in the world /;
when the now sleepy little harbor
gave shelter to rousing freebooters
and tarry pirates, tearing in there un-
der full sail with their loot from the
Spanish Main. ,sst. ...s.y 81. s53
But those heroic days are gone, and
Nassau is given up to a sleepy trade
In sponges and tortoise shell, and
peace is no name for the drowsy tenor
OF the days under the palm trees and
the scarlet poincianas.
