JAPAN CHEERS
ROYALTY
FIRST time

TOXIC, June l Correspondence of
the Associated Press) -For the first
time in the history of Japan the peo-
pie have cheered their monarchs.
Popular celebrations were held in
Toxic to celebrate the fftieth ami
versary of the removal of the imperial
capital from Kioto to Toxic and the
thirtieth anniversary of the establish
ment of Toxic as municipality.
For two days the people of the me-
tropolis gave themselves up to en-
thusiastic rejoicings. The city was gay
with festoons, flags and magnificent
evergreen arches.
Emperor Yoshihtto, with his consort
and Crown Prince Hirohito, drove
through the packed streets in open
coaches and bowed in acknowledgment
of the respectful "banzais" of the null
tttudes.
In the past the emperor of Japan
rarely has made his appearance in the
public streets, and always has been
received in silent homage. The re-
cent ovation after the Western idea
is regarded as a democratic approach
of the emperor to his people. In other
words, Japan is responding to the
democratic spirit abroad in the world.
The municipality presented to the
emperor and empress several historic
documents and pictures concerning
the capital. The pavilion used for the
principal ceremonies in Ueno park was
specially erected in pure old Japanese
style, the roof being matched with the
bark of cryptomerias and the outer
walls being covered with green cryp-
tOmeria leaves. The walls inside were
beautifully decorated with gold dust
and covered with screens and curtains
having designs of flowers and birds.
A procession demonstrating the an
cient daimo corteges and lanterns and
flag professions were included in the
celebration, which was cOmmemorated
also by the issuing of a special postage
stamp.
Every house, from richest to poor
est, bore in front an exquisite paper
lantern surmounted by spray Of
cherry blossoms.

AMERICAN SOLDIERS
BECOME ACQUAINTED
WITH RUSSIAN WORDS

ARCHANGEL, June 5 Correspond
ence of Associated Press) American
soldieres withdrawn from Northern
Russia will take back to Michigan
and other Middle Western states,
from which most of the troops on this
front were drafted, number of Rus
sian words which have become daily
part of the soldiers vocabulary.
Chief of these words is "skelkea,"
of which the English equivalent is
chow much?" The Yanks have been
using this word on the Russian popu-
lation ever since they landed, last
September, in transactions of barter
and sale. The soldiers have made a
verb of it, and those who have made
neat profits in selling cigarettes, old
clothing, superfuous rations, ETC., to
the peasant and city civilians are
spoken of as having "skolhea' ed"
something.
Other words the soldiers have
adopted as their own include:
"Pontmiyu," meaning Il under
stand" and "Ne.ponfmiyu," meaning
II don't understand"
"Da," meaning yes"
"Nyet," meaning mo"
"spasebo," meaning thank you"
And last, but not least, the eternal
Russian "nichevo," which means any
thing from nothing" never mind"
to what do l care about that?"

ESTHONIAN REGIMENT
FINANCED BY AMERICAN

REVAL, Esthonia, June (by mail)
The crack regiment of the new Els
thonian army is one organized and
financed by an American citizen, H
c. Reisser. 1t is composed of cav.
airy, infantry and artillery units
numbers one thousand men, and has
been fighting for several months.
This discovery was made by the
American Red Cross mission which ar
rived few days ago with shipload
of supplies for the relief of the coun-
try.
Mr.. Reisser already had organized
a small Red Cross hospital Of fifty
beds. The first articles which this hos
pital requested Of the American relief
workers were an American flag and a
Red Cross flag. When both of these
were supplied they flung the two ban
ners to the breeze from fagpoles in
the hospital yard.

around by towering Office buildings. Its

Poetlcai Inspiration

4 is not shout great events that
great novels are written. The same
is true Of great poems. Not "the 10
decisive hattles Of the world" but
such relahvely unimportant ones as
Balaklava. IVY. Holseussnden and Blen-
helm have inspired the poets. Wa
terloo was considered to be the
greatest battle OF .ns6dern times. but
the lines Byron inserted in "CAilde
Harold" constitute the only memOra-
BILE poem ever written about 1t. The
only ballad Of the Civil war, which
became fixed forever In peoples minds,
related to no great battle but to Stone
wall Jackson's march through the lit.
tie town OF Frederick.
The great events are peaks in the
mountain ranges Of time, that leave
little to the Imagination. Literature
thrives by the streams Of legend and
Rlory that run down from them and
by the lanes and roads Of emotion,
aspiration. passion and endeavor that
lead up to them. The side lights and
side issues and everyday events make
literature, as they make lie Itself.

ner which is not easily explain
able a number of copies Of the
proposed treaty have gotten in
to the hands of private individ-
uals in various parts Of the
world, particularly in neutral
countries. This indicates bad
management somewhere, and it
smacks of unfairness to the peo-
pie of this country, and partic-
ularly the United States Senate
in view Of its Constitutional
treaty making powers; however
it does not, of itself, show that
there has been negligence or i'm
proper conduct Of any kind on
the part Of our official represen-
tatives either here or abroad,
and any charges or insinuations
to that effect in the absence of
some real evidence may well be
regarded as political clap trap
|or as the irresponsible utter
ances of unduly excited minds
lin the heat Of debate. The sug-
lgestion that either the Presi-
| dent or any one officially asso--
|ciated with him could have been
guilty of giving out the copies
said to be now in New York is
unworthy of serious considera-
! Ition. No sane person so COM
pletely in the public eye as they
are would, even if he had no
conscience whatever, do a thing
so palpably suicidal; consequent
ly, this phase of the matter may
as well be dismissed from the
mind at once. However, since
statements have been made that
Icopies Of the treaty draft are in
1.-THE hands of unauthorized per
sons in this country, the facts
as to how they were obtained
should be established in justice
/ to all concerned. There are OBJ
|viously many ways, other than
the absurd one which has been
suggested, in which these copies
may have been obtained. The
people of the country have a
fright to know and will insist up
on knowing the facts.

Facts Wanted as
to Treaty Leak

In the course of a violent de-
bate in the Senate Thursday
concerning the alleged leak"
through which the Peace Treaty
has come into the possession of
certain special interests" in
New York, Senator Lodge de-
scribed the treaty-text he had
seen as follows:
THAT copy I had an opportu-
nifty to examine. at least one ar
|ticle of it. The text of the
treaty covers 208 folio pages.
The whole treaty, French and
English, covers 415 pages. The
only part that / acquired any
sort of familiarity with was an
article at the end which seemed
to be a sort of addendum to the
body of the treaty with Ger
many because it had nothing to
do with the peace with Germany.
This established at great length
II think it as long as the Lea
que of Nations article-a great
and permanent organization for
the internationalization of labor,
a very interesting article"
Senator Lodge said further
that ut would be a gross breach
of faith on my part to state the
names of the two gentlemen,
who are friends of mine, who
told me they had copies" The
Senator also made the state
ment that he had been offered
copy of the treaty to take back
to Washington with him but that
he had refused it because he felt
that he could not have a copy
in his possession while other Sen
ators were denied it. He further
aid that the gentleman who had
showed him the treaty had no
connection whatever with the
special interests" mentioned by
Senator Borah.
Now all this indicates a Gu
riously tangled situation. It is
difficult to see why the Sena-
tor from Massachusetts and the
Senator from Idaho made such
conflicting statements on what
is personally the same body of
information. Senator B0rah
spoke clearly of special inter-
ests" in New York which had
been furnished copies Of the
treaty; Senator Lodge makes a
disclaimer of limiting any such
thing he will not go beyond the

Saved by a Skull
A Legend Of North Queensland.
By DANIEL M0NAGLE.

A burning sun shot down his beams
And lakes and streamlets everywhere
Were dried up at his fiery CLEANS
And shrank from or his sullen glare
+ A traveller lone was iourneying on
And nowhere water could he find;
He sat down on a parchcd-up lawn
Wild fevers gathering In his mind.
His empty flask he threw aside,
Despair's wild fires were In his eye,
And travelled on till he deserted
A skull that on the ground did lie.
He started back unnerved by fear
Here Is some fellow man, he cried,
who Just like me has perlshed here
And probably OF thirst has died.
Urged by despair he journeyed on
When all at once there met his sight
All sparkling In the noon-day sun,
A little pool OF water bright
He In the pool his thirst did slake,
And in It bathed HIS burning head,
But what new terrors blanched his
cheek.
Why looks he round In fear and
dread.
HE He empty TASK alas ls gone
And thirty miles before him lie,
And under a North Queensland sun,
Can he again his thirst defy,
Around the pool was toughest clay
With creeping grasses coEered DER,
And just within short distance lay
The skull which he had seen before.
He with the clay the eyelets stopped.
And with the water filled Il full,
Elate with Joy he travelled on
And drank from out the human skull.

The City Over Their
BY JOHN VI. BAKER.

am thinking Of that city
Whose streets are paved with gold.
The walls are built OF jasper,
Not half has yet been told.
They are waving palms OF victory
On that happy golden shore;
The warfare now is ended,
They are safe forever more.
I am on the old ship, sailing.
And she's bound for Canaan's shore
We are anchored In the harbor
Where storms can come no more.
We viii hear the music ringing
AS they greet us over there,
In that land OF love and beauty,
Where all is bright and fair.
