JAPAN AND SOUTH SEA ISLANDS.
Former Minister 0zaki Argues Against
Permanent Possession.

The wisdom of Japsn's demand for
permanent possession Of the South sea
islands, formerly owned by Germany, is
questioned by no less an authority than
Mr. Yukio Ozaki. former minister of
justice in the 0kuma cabinet. In re-
cent address he demanded what use
has Japan for those islands, which oc-
cupy only 300 square miles in the tropi-
cal seas and have no valuable economic
resourcesf Our delegates are reported
to have insisted on the possession OF
these islands on account Of their import
anee as a naval base. If SO, how viii
Japan consistently deny that she is fol-
lowing the example of imperial Germany
by maintaining or even increasing her
military and naval forces! 1t is irony
on the part of Japan to propose the abb
clifton of racial discrimination in favor
of the principle of universal brother.
hood, while insisting on the necessity OF
Japan's possession of the South sea is
lands because Of their Importance as her
naval base in the Pacific.
"At present all the powers represented
in the Versailles conference are exert
ing themselves for the prevention OF
war in the future. With this in mind
the league of nations is to be formed
while the powers are to agree to the
principle for the reduction of armament
or even to the abolition OF armament, il
possible. Under such circumstances, the
first thing Japan ought TO do is to dispel
suspicion on the part of other powers as
regards Japan's imperislistie policy, and
to realize that any policy apt to be re-
garded as militaristic should be care
fully avoided.
According to recent reports from Eu.
rope. the powers seem TO have come Ia
conclusion in regard to the disposal Of
German overseas colonies that they
should be placed under the supervision
of the league OF nations, which assumes
the responsibility TO protect the inhabi'
tants OF these colonies against foreign
aggressions. This is ali admirably well
| considered idea. To-day is an age Of co.
operation. not of individual activity. The
proposed league OF nations is exactly like
big corporation, and, indeed, it is a
great honor for Japan that she occupies
the position of great stakeholder in
that international political corporation
The honor is far greater, indeed, than
that Japan may obtain by possessing

The Psychology of oratory.

D'Annunzio's speecsh at the Angus
teum in Rome must have been great in
the effect it produced on the audience
D'Annunzio spoke TO a crowd already
thrilling with emotion ard spoke the
right words. His picture Of the march.
ing legions of the dead was indeed beau
tiful, but delivered in the course Of lee
ture at Carnegie hall, for instance, no
matter who spoke the words, they would
have been admired without leaving the
stirring effect which Mr.. Duranty de-
scribed.
Mr. Bryan's "Cross Of Gold" speech
produced such an effect that the crowd
went frantic and carried him around the
convention hall on their shoulders. 1t is
all very well to say that the speech was
tawdry and the audience fanatieal. He
spoke the words that fitted his purpose
and the occasion, that filled the measure
of the unspoken thoughts trying to form
themselves in the minds of the audience
The same thing was true of Robert g.
Ingersoll's "Plumed Knights" speech
nominating Blaine for president at the
Chicago convention OF 1876, Henry Ward
Beecher, in the course of an anti-slav-
cry speech, seized some shackles that had
once fettered slave, threw them to the
floor, and stamped upon them, and the
audience went mad. If the audience had
not been already thrilled with hatred of
slavery and longing to have its thoughts
formulated for il, the action would have
fallen fiat, it might have been laugh
able
The fact has been proved many times
in national conventions in this country,
where oratorical devices that had been
immensely successful on the stump failed
of the hoped for effect..No United States
senator celebrated for fre-brand oratory
ever tries it in the Senate. Conspicuous
examples of this were Joseph B. For
aSer, who on the stump was known as
"Fire Alarm Foraker" but who was so
conservative q speaker in the Senate
that he was even dull, and Joseph w.
Bailey, great stump orator, who in
the Senate was an argumentative con.
stitutional lawyer.
We would not deny for moment that
D'Annunzio is verbal magician, but the
magic was first in the hearts, of tie
audience. There are places, perhaps even
in Italy itself, where D'Annunzio would
not make that speech, or where, if he did,
his magic would weave no spell--New

REACHED CAPTAINS RANK.
Capt. Fred A. Mills Served Two Years in
French Army.

Burlington, May l5.--Captain Fred A.
Mills of Barre, a graduate of the class
of 1905, Burlington high school, and a
former resident of this city, has received
his discharge from the 18th battalion Of
Canadian infantry, of which he has been
a member for the past two years, and
with which he has served on many Of
the battle fronts in France and Italy.
Mills received his first promotion on
board ship, when his company sailed
from Newfoundland At the time, the
promotion was to rank Of sergeant, and
by successive appointments, he finally
attained the rank of captain, which he
still holds.
He has been awarded the D. G. NJ.
and the croix de guerre awarded for
valor at Cambria and Vimy Ridge,
He was wounded at Cambria and Vimy
Ridge, but suffers no i'll effects from
them at the present time.
Captain Mills brought many interest
ing relics from abroad, some of which
are pieces from the cathedral of Rheims,
gas masks, muskets and all types of
German insignia.
Captain Mills married Mademoiselle
Louise Genette Of Paris during his So
iourn overseas. He returned to his home
in Barre to-day.

NEW OIL FIELDS.
Has Been Located in Ranger District of
Texas.

Recent successful explorations for oil
in the Ranger district, in Texas, afford a
striking example of achievement due to
persistence combined with science, and
another example, not SO striking, per-
haps. but nevertheless instructive, is
seen in the similar successful work done
in the SINH valley, Ventura county, Cali
fornia, 80 miles northeast of Los Angeles.
The first wells sunk in SINH valley We're
drilled in 1900 along fault, or "break,"
close to an oil seepage about 2h miles
north of Santa susanna and were not very
promising. Later, on the advice of geol-
ogists, test hole was sunk on an anti
cline in Tapo canyon The test gave
good results; a well was brought in at
shallow depth and the Tapo canyon
field was thus discovered. Since then two
companies have been operating in this
field and have put down about so wells,
only few of them failures. The oil is of
high grade, but the aggregate output is
relatively small.
The geology and structure of the SINH
valley region have recently been mapped
and described by W. S. w. Kew of the
United States geological survey, depart
ment OF the interior, in a report en-
titled Geologic Structure and Oil Re-
sources of the SINH Valley, Southern Cal
ifornia,7 published as bulletin 69lM of
the survey. The report contains a map
showing the geologic formations exposed
at the surface in this region and cross
sections showing the structure or form of
the beds underground. These sections,
which were derived from an examination
of the beds exposed at the surface and
from logs of wells, show how and where
the beds are folded and broken.
Mr.. Kew suggests that oil may be OBJ
tanned in other parts of the region and
recommends that test hole be put down

WON WITH EASE
Montpelier High Defeated
by the Score of
10 to 4
POLLPS PITCHING
WAS VERY GOOD
Sullivan of Spaulding Badly
Injured Sliding to
Base

Spaulding high school baseball team
defeated Montpelier high school team in
Montpelier Wednesday afternoon by a
score of 10 to under as adverse condi-
tions as team generally meets. The
crowd was almost on the field all Of the
time Sullivan was hurt and someone
stole the catcher's NIT while his chums
were carrying Sullivan to car to be
taken TO a physician, where it was found
that he suffered at least bad sprain
and the physician could not tell certainly
whether the bone was cracked. He ad-
vised that an X.ray be taken to-day of
the bone. Sullivan played a part of an
inning after he was injured by sliding
into second base.
The game opened with Sullivan get
ting wo-baggen on the second ball
pitched and which was followed by a
couple of singles by oliver and Parks,
scoring Sullivan, The next three were
easy outs Montpelier, on errors, was
able TO land score in the first inning
also. Mills, after striking out, was able
to beat the ball, which Brown dropped,
and was advanced on errors until he
scored. The Montpelier team could do
nothing with Polli when he let himself
out at all, while Spaulding was able to
touch up Barrett at critical times. 1t
was not a good game to watch excepting
for some comedy that was inserted at
times
One of the rawest things that has been
seen hereabouts in long time was the
stealing Of the Spaulding catcher's mitt.
Sullivan had been injured and while sew
eral Of his players were taking him to a
ear some youngster took the mitt No
effort was made on Montpelier's part TO
recover the mitt as far as could be learned
from the team.
After the first inning Spaulding got its
scores thus, Sullivan got single in the
third inning, scoring on Calderara's
triple In the fourth they obtained three.
Barrett walked couple and Lille was
allowed first on Lampertis error. Brown
drew a double, scoring the three men,
In the sixth Greig drew single, while
Brown walked, both scoring on Sullivan's
single. In the ninth Lille singled, Tay.

had taken Sullivans place, singled, scor.

The Coming Coffee Saloons.

In Boston, according to the Church
Temperance society, the coffee houses
conducted by il are no longer efficient,
desirable, or practical" as substitutes for
the saloon, and the society has applied
to the Massachusetts, courts for dissolu-
ton of its New England department.
The reports from Boston say merely that
in the quarter of century that has
passed since the rooms were opened So

the decision to abandon them had to be
adopted

tains number Of establishments, and
the natural assumption would be that
when prohibition is applied to the ma
tion the field of its benehcent activities
would be considerably extended. The
Salvation Army has announced its in
tention to take over a number of saloons
and conduct them as soft drink bars,
and the opportunities for well managed
coffee houses have been discussed by q
number OF men animated by commercial
rather than philanthropic purpose.
Success in such an undertaking as this
will of course depend on the management
of the establishments, and it may be
that the institutional character of the
abandoned coffee rooms worked against
their popularity and usefulness. Local
conditions likewise may have handi-
capped them. The fact that they have
been given up does not mark coffee rooms
as failures generally. and the next few
years are likely to find resorts of their
kind fourishing in many cities of the

the greatest burden on the army sur

accompanying loss in efficiency and hos
pital expenses. Georgia was close sec
