Japan's s Victory

The Shan-tung settlement at Paris is
a concession to the conceptions of prac-
tical craftsmanship. Japan entered the
war with the avowed purpose of ousting
Germany from her eastern Asiatic hold
ings. The japanese had a score to set
tie with Berlin. In Shan-tung Germany
was a close and undesirable neighbor.
SO Japan's interest coincided with her
treaty obligations as an ally Of Great
Britain.
She also covenanted to become the in
heritor of German claims in the north
Pacific. She wanted to succeed to the
economic concessions which Germany
had obtained from China. The Entente
powers promised her that succession. To
annul a promise of this sort would have
justified Japan in charging bad faith
and in withdrawing from the conference
Japan has agreed to restore political
sovereignty in Shan tung to China.
What she asks is economic priority. And
her request could not we'll have been de-
MED by those Entente powers which in
the past have themselves acquired not
only economic privileges, but also politi-
cal sovereignty, at Chinas expense.
The United States was not a party to
the Entente's compact with Japan. But
our attitude was determined by the Ishii-
Lansing agreement, made since the war,
which recognizes sort of Japanese Mon
roe Doctrine for eastern Asia We ad-
NIT that Japan has certain privileged
status in the Far East, such as we have
established in the Americas. If our
delegates seriously insisted on a recogni-
tion of the American Monroe Doctrine,
they could not ignore Japan's pretensions
under the new Japanese Monroe Doctrine.
Japan had therefore a case to which
the vague generalities of the Fourteen
Points could not be successfully applied
She presented her case politely, but firm
ly. There was nothing for the confer
ence to do but to admit it's force.

The Police

We believe The Tribune's account of
the riotous commotion around Madison
Square Garden on the night of May Dav
produced wrong and unfortunate i'm
preston as to the behavior of the police.
There were instances of bruising and
beating which, taken alone, would move
the reader or the spectator to express
slons of protest, but if you take all the
instances together and then consider the
violent nature of the emotions that were
loose that night, the number of people
that had to be restrained from acting on
hot impulse and the possibilities for
tragedy that lay in the situation, the
casualty list was ludicrous. Fewer than
dozen heads were broken, authenticallv
reported, and there was not a single
fatality The soldiers and sailors were
unwilling the next day to make anv
charges at all. They grinned and said
they had gone out for shindy and
hadn't been allowed to pull it off. That
was all. On the evidence entire it
must be admitted that the police hand
hing of delicate and dangerous situa
ton was very satisfactory. 1t would be
expected. The New York policeman is
still what he has always been-brave.
good-natured, human and Efficient.

To the Rescue of Petroprad

II Finnish army has taken Petro-
grad, as Paris reports, Finland will have
recovered in some measure her standing
with the Allies Of all the former seq
ments of the Romanoff empire, detached
by the treaty of Brest- Litovsk, Finland
was the only one which promised at one
time to become a serviceable German
ally and vaesal.
The Germans had no army of occupa-
ton IN Finland when the Brest- -Litovsk
treaty was signed. They entered the
country only after civil war had broken
out between the Whites and the Reds.
The Reds, backed by Lenine, SOUGHT to
Bolshevize Finland. The bourgeois and
conservative element wanted to estab
lsh nationalist form of government.
The Germans intervened to preserve
order and stamp out anarchy. The
Natlonalistic parties were naturally
grateful for this timely assistance.
Germany concluded treaty. of
alliance with the White government.
She also enlarged the Finnish state by
compelling Lenine to cede to it the Rms
sian province Of Carelia. In return she
claimed the assistance of the Firms in
conquering the Murman province and
establishing a German naval base on the
lce-free coast of the Arctic Ocean. Fin
land was on the point of making war on
the Allied forces holding the Murman
peninsula when Audendorff lost the sec
ond battle Of the Marine. That defeat
chilled Finnish enthusiasm for the Ger
man alliance and halted the journey Of q
delegation sent from Helsingfors to an
nounce his election as King of Finland
to Hessian Grand Duke.
Since August last Finland has been
working around to an understanding
with the victors. She has an army of
good quality, which can be of use in
bringing to terms the only armed enemy
of the Allies still holding out against
peace. Petrograd has been one of the
centres Of Lcnine's Infamous activities
1t is dangerously exposed, however, to
an attack from the northwest.
The Firms were recently reported to
New-York tribune., 1919-05-04

have reached Olonetz, town a few miles
west of the Petrograd- -Murmansk rail-
road. Olonetz is 40 miles northeast of
Petrograd. The evacuation of the latter
could easily be compelled by movement
cutting off its communications north with
Murmansk and Archangel and it's COM
muncations east via Vologda. Petrograd
is indefensible in military sense. The
Germans could have occupied it in 1917
or 1918 if they had cared to do so. But
they preferred to leave it in Lenine's pos
session. Now, without any great effort,
it can be taken away from him and re-
stored to civilized life.
The population has been reduced more
than one-half by massacre, starvation
and refugeeisn. The Allies have pro-
claimed their willingness to relieve the
victims of Lenine's barbarity in that
part of Russia which is still cursed by
his rule. The true way to relieve them
is to recover the territory which he
tyrannizes over. An excellent beginning
will have been made when Petrograd,
Russia's long afflicted capital, passes
under Allied military control
New-York tribune., 1919-05-04
Getting More Homes

The politicians having assumed charge,
the City Hall mass meeting to consider
the housing problem went no further
than futilely to ask an extra session of
the Legislature. An amendment to the
charter under which the city may bor-
row to erect tenements and the passage
of the Dodge bill, permitting the conver-
sion of old four story dwellings, into
apartments, are proposed.
Not much nutriment is in this pro-
gramme. If there is a shortage of
$4,000 apartments, to remove it would
cost the city something like half billion,
and the city is up to the debt limit
The entry of the city as a builder,
would, of course, stop private construc-
tion, and hence would aggravate rather
than lessen congestion. The remedy
would not meet the present emergency.
Half-baked undertakings usually do more
harm than good, and many things need
be done before the city becomes a gen
eral landlord
The Dodge bill, whose contents are fa-
miliar, is rewrite of long series of bills
to break down the tenement house law
against the interests of tenants 1t would
encourage rent profiteering The 10000
dwellings capable of conversion are now
largely occupied as boarding and room
ing houses, and take care of a larger
population, or as large as they could
accommodate if made into apartments.
The landlords would get more money for
four apartments than they now get for
one house, but the roomers and boarders
would be set adrift to crowd in some
where else. Of long standing is the feud
between the civic organizations and
greedy landlords, who hate the restric-
tons OF the tenement house law, and
first on one excuse and then on another
efforts are made to sneak through re-
dictionary changes
If there is real desire to develop an
early new supply of tenements, if a re-
moval Of congestion is genuinely sought,
one remedy is at hand. An exemption of
new homes from taxation would quickly
bring construction and a consequent
check to rent increases. The builder is
now assessed and taxed 2.32 per cent on
swollen costs, and so is inactive. He must
collect at least S32 per cent on his in
vestment to realize per cent, and knows
he will be assailed for proiteering.

Won Hindenburg

In announcing his desire to retire, Won
Hindenburg, while he deemed it his dutv
TO serve Germany during a difficult
transitional period, speaks of chow hard
it has become for me, in view Of nv
opinions and my entire personality and
the past, to continue to exercise NV
office"
Not few of us have said harsh
things of Won Hindenburg. His heavy
countenance, his bull neck, even the pro-
vocative way he wore his hair, have not
stimulated affection He has seemed al
most as wooden and as ugly as the huge
figure of him in Berlin into whose tim
bers patriotic Germans drove nails at \
cost of mark each. He has been
a blood-and-iron man 1of the Bismarck
type minus the mental gifts that made
the wickedness Of Bismarck interestinp
But, after all, Won Hindenburg seems
about the best Of the German lot. He
dld not run away. He has not pretended
to be otherwise than he is. He has heen
loyal to the standards-was a Prussian
but unabashed. The flag he bore he did
not pull down. He believed in his class.
The Kaiser is seen to have been lath
painted to look like iron, and the glance
to threaten and command has become
furtlve. Ludendorf took no chances
with his sacred person. Scheidemann is
sneak. Bernstorff is a fox whose
brush has been sheared by a trap. The
Grown Prince has had the truth told
about him by his unfortunate wife. Won
Hlndenburg isn't much, but he is about
the best of the lot.

holding together, but it furnishes no
binding cement.
But though the great hope has not
been met, and although there is reason
to apprehend that in the guise of secur-
ing admission for Germany or Russia or
on some other issue Geneva may be used
as place to foment discord, the league
may yet become an instrument of union.
"The men of Massachusetts" said Glad
stone, "could have worked any scheme of
government" and good WILL if it exists,
may employ any league to noble ends.

Grom The Sydney Bulictin Ne,o South WoIes)
yEHEY dug his grave in France,
IL But his bones are all that keep in it;
He heard coachwhip calling
In the she-oaks by the bend;
They dug it deep and wide enough
There's half this section sleep in it.
The night wind crooned above him,
And it called him like a friend.
They laid him down to sleep,
But he could not take the rest of it;
He heard the stubble crackle
And he smelt the drift of smoke.
On, harvest-tide and ploughing-time,
He had to taste the best of it.
And sweet the strength of toll is
When you've learned to love the yoke,
They dug his grave in France.
But Death could not keep a hold Of him,
His youth was ripe for mating
And its joys were sweet to miss;
And all that's leal to love in him.
Aye, all that's best and bold of him.
Is waiting at the slprails
For lass he used to kiss.

q MONG these hills cuckoo sang to-day.
I "A Her solitary notes came like hymn
To this war weary land, and ebbed away ..
1t is the spring, l said, with eyes half
dim.
The spring, And those far hills beyond the
plain
Have robed their wizened limbs with
woods of beech;
Across the parched and barren valleys reach
Cornlands and farms and orchards; and a
lane,
Fragrant with honeysuckle and wild rose,
Leads to yon village whore ripe gardens
bloom,
And shell-riven desoation shows,
But trellised walls, a easement, and
room.
Where 1 shall see, as men in vision do,
The sudden glory of wel-loved face -.
Red pOppies in vase of Wedgwood blue
And cretonne gladdening the window space.
This ancient land forgets her ancient pain:
No guns boom; distantly church bell
rings;
An exile's spring is England's spring again.
And shell-holes blossom where the cuckoo

rT~HE worlds new! There is not sound.
Il Whteness and silence all around
Jewels are hung in all the trees,
The light shines splintered by the breeze
And with this crystal air we drink
All serene thoughts man can think
1hls side Of heaven--until it seems
heavens here and not within our dreams.
Heaven just so white, so bright, so still
AS this white air and that white hill.
Wherein all sight, sound, reasons caught
Into one pure, celestial thought
SO bright, so white-but not so still
See those young rascals up the hill,
How loud how happily they shout,
Hurting their balls of snow about;
On the lake, too, with coats flung wide.
The tall, fantastic skaters glide.
While on this world, full-freed and brorrr
The sun from a hoar heaven smiles down
Your beauty's there!-but, if you please.
Should we stand still in it we'd fraa4a.
My heavens like thGt-its hillsldes glow
With even a more daring snow;
Ny trees hang gems more crystalline
Which dance and tinkle as they shine;
Bright-eyed, red-cheeked, with tousled hair
Young cherubs foray here and there.
Cracking the air with jolly shout,
Hurting the brittle snow about;
Over "the still and CLASSY sea-"
Crested like gryphons and as free,
Vast seraphs on fire-wings flung wide
Speed and ring and singing glide;
While on it all, leaned out above,
God, like brown-faced sun, smiles love.
Both heavens are good-but of the two
Judge for me, World, now: which would
