poured into Central Europe within

JAPAN'S POLICY
TOWARD CHINA
COOPERATIVE
Protects Latter Chiefly For
Sake of Her Own
Security

Toxic, July 19.-"Japan does not
pretend to be wholly unselfish in
her policy toward China,i says the
Herald of Asia, a conservative jour
nal of japanese thought. Japan
is protecting China chiefly for the
sake of her own security" the pap
er continued.
Japan cannot allow China to
parter away her birthright even il
she Is simple enough to engage in
such folly. If China wants to test
Japan's sincerity let her refuse all
further concessions to occidental
nations and secure for all time the
inalienation of her. territory. and
Japan's task in regard to China will
be finished.
1t is question, however,
whether China is yet able to do
without the assistance of Japan in
keeping foreign nations at bay; and
this help. strange to say, is just
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1919-07-19

what China does not want. Is 1t
that China would rather be a slave
OF the white races than the equal
OF Japan? We can hardly credit
this.
There is no need for China to
be anxious about the return Of
kiauchow. Japan has promised to
restore the territory to China just
as soon as China is able to guaran-
tee that 1t will not again fall into
the hands of a third party. What
more can China desire? And does
justice require more? China talks
as II she were an absolutely inde-
pendent nation, granting conces-
seions to no country. If she will
take this attitude toward all west
ern countries, Japan will be ready
to concede China her new status.

a port on the Dalmatian coast for
transport to the interior.
Seven to fifteen train loads of
food. averaging twenty-five cars a
train, left Trieste alone daily. On
the Dalmatian coast a great part of
the tonnage had to be conveyed by
other than rail vehicles.
1T is difficult to give any ade-
quate idea of the existing conditions
under which the American Relief
Administration carried on it's work.
These countries had been thrown
into economic chaos and mental
reaction from prolonged strain and
suffering which it is difficult for the
clearest Imagination even to appre-
ciate without having witnessed their
effects. Transportation was pretty
much at standstill Territorial
possessions were either reduced or
enlarged by boundaries not yet set
tied. Raw products to start manu-
factures were unavailable. Farming
implements were gone and thou
sands of harrows were drawn by
human shoulders. Apart from the
material wants which the war had
left these people, they had become
so mentally stunned by their sur
roundings that initiative seemed
stagnant.
"Yet in this distress every one
seemed content with their lot.
Vienna, famous for it's creams and
chocolates, was scpaping bones and
had no bread. At the same time
the people were quietly happy in
an apathy which was frightening.
Closeness to the horrors of war and
the disregard of human suffering in
the German war machine had made
these peoples of the cities almost
gay in an indifference to what
might lie in the immediate future.
1t brought to one from America a
peculiar fear.
Much can be said of the physical
condition of the peoples in the diff
ferent countries. Anxiety, lack of
nourishing food and clothing and
clothing for months and even years
have left their mark. In Roumania
in the cold days of early March,
thousands in the cities were without
shoes or even sandals as a substi-
tute. l saw a pair of leather sand
ais on a peasant at a railroad sta
ton in Roumania near the Servian
border and inquired if such foot
wear was procurable. You might
find a pair for fifty dollars was the
answer of a Serbian soldier who
spoke English well after his five
years in Pennsylvania. The feet
were usually wrapped in some kind
of rags. Straw was popular as a
warm covering"

GOOD SCHEDULES
ON P. R. R. LINES
Philadelphia Division Leads
in Perfect Schedule Records
During Month of June

In running trains on schedule
time during the month of June the
Philadelphia division OF the Penn
sylvania Railroad put 1t all over
the other divisions east of Pitts
burgh. Passenger trains showed a
SO per cent record on schedule time,
making a perfect run over the divi-
sion. During June, 1918, the record
was 8S per cent. Trains arriving
late and making time on the division
showed a 70 per cent record in 1918
and Sc per cent this year. The
total number of trains were 1919,
5,166; 1918, 4,729.
Improvement in train service on
the Pennsy east of Pittsburgh is
shown in a report sent out yester-
day from the Office of N. w. Smith,
general superintendent. During the
month of June S4,304 passenger
trains were run. During June, 1918,
the total was 1901.
Schedule time was also better.
The percentage for on time reports
was SS.4, as compared with 77.9 for
June, 1918. Records for two years
on the several divisions for 1919 and
1918 show Pittsburgh, 86.02, 70.7;
Middle, S0.2 and 70.7; Juniata, SS.S,
73.1; Tyrone, IS and co.,.
Total Number of Trains
Trains handled during June, 1919,
and 1918, showed the following to-
tails: Pittsburgh, 5,857 and 5,209;
Middle, 3.269 and 3,2s7; Juniata,
240 and geo. The Tyrone division
had 1897 trains this June as COM
pared with 465 last year, and the
Cresson division 1,195 this year and
1900 last year.
With a view to bettering these
records for this month, with traffic
on the increase, officials of the train
masters department of the various
divisions will ride trains and make
reports of detentions. On the Mid
die division j. G. Johnson, superin-
tendent, is doing personal work.
One Train Trouble
In this connection he called the
attention of the trainme en- to the fact
that extra freight No. 1903 east
with sixty eight loaded cars, arrived
at Vineyard at 6.37 and by backing
off with a hot box detained for
periods of from fifteen minutes to
an hour the following trains: One
SLOW freight, one stock train, one
empty passenger, one beef train, one
soldier train and one regular pas
senger train.
Mr.. johnson points out that this
delay caused a heavy unnecessary
expense to the Government which
might have been avoided If the boxes
mad been properly inspected and
cared for before the train started
out
