leayings of the Ladrones to 90 with the
Carolines and other Spanish colonies in

and promptly sold the isles to Germany

| 1t must be confessed that the secret
| treaty between Great Britain and Japan,
| relative to the possession Of the islands
of the Pacific, was entered into by those
powers with very little regard for the
rightsTor claims Of other nations in those
waters. It is comparable with the ia
nous division by Pope Alexander VI,
in l403, of the newly discovered parts
of the world between Spain and Portu.
gal Pope Alexander drew line from
north to south, and from pole to pole,
one hundred leagues west Of the Azores
and the Cape Verde islands and gave
all west Of it to Spain and all east of
it TO Portugal. The British and Japa-
nase, acting on this simple suggestion,
used the equator for their line of divi-
sion in the Pacific ocean. giving to Eng
land all the German islands south of that
line and to Japan all north of it. That
arbitrary arrangement makes us the
close neghbors of the British in Samora,
while Guam, our highly important half
way home to the Philippines, is left sur
rounded by the archipelago Of the La
drone or Mariana islands, which are to
belong to Japan, and nanked TO east

shall and Caroline archipelagoes, also to
be Japanese, So tiny a speck in the

does Guam become through this arrange
ment that, if it be ratified by the peace
conference and consented to by the Unit
ed States, the sovereignty of the island
may as well be transferred to the Japa-
nese crown without delay Instead Of
defending our road to the Philippines, it
would merely serve to get us into trou-
Bile.
When we took Guam in 1898 we mag.
unanimously left the rest of the Ladrone
islands in the possession Of Spain.
Guam afforded us the barbor, the cable

FEDERAL BANK LOANS
FOR PUBLIC BUILDING
Was Advocated by Mark Temple Dow
ling of Massachusetts Before De-
partment of Labor.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 5.-Encour-
agement Of public building with a re-
suItant employment of thousands of men
through the granting of authority to
federal reserve banks to make conserva
tive building loans was suggested to the
department Of labor to-day by Mark
Temple bowling, chairman of the Massa-
chusetts commission to revive building.
Congress, Mr.. Bowling said, should give
federal reserve banks the power to loan
Is per cent Of the actual cost Of the land
and buildings for a term of five or ten
years at rate not to exceed five per
cent. The loan should carry amortiza-
ton provision that two and one half
per cent be paid on account of the prin.
cipal each year
Practically so per cent Of the labor
of the United States is employed in
building operations and its material in
dustries," Mr.. Bowling said. IF you wish
to keep labor busy, if you wish to avoid
disaster, if you wish to kin bolshevism
in the country, then furnish the money.
Unless this is done, all the talk at Wash
ington, al the State House or from the
city hall put together will not result in
the accomplishment of one single private
building enterprise"

tary occupation. The French troops have
not harmed a hair on the head of any
German in that region. They have not
so much as touched a public building.
nor have they by single act avenged
themselves for the awful destruction,
rapine and outrage inflicted upon their
own country, and upon their women and
children by German brutality. Their
conduct has been governed by the strict
est humanity. Of what, then, does the
French unnatural cruelty" consist? 1t
resides altogether in the French unwill-
ingness to have their city of Strassbourg
commanded and dominated by German
big guns on the other side of the Rhine.
They have been so unnaturally cruel as
to pretend to extend their control over a
small semicircle of ground on the right
bank Of the Rhine, like that upon which
the British stand at Cologne, the Amer
leans at Coblenz, and the French them
selves at Mayence, in order to make
their position secure, And it is against
this attitude that Erzberger has formal
ly protested by resigning his place as
chairman of the German armistice com.
mission.
The Germans, as before remarked, are
as yet far from being sorry enough for
what they have done. 1t is evident that
they need to be reduced, by an infexible
attitude on the part of the entente al
lies, to a condition of considerably deep.
er regret and contrition before they can
be admitted to any official part in the
consideration of the terms Of peace, So
the resignation of Erzberger will make
no difference at all to the entente and
