And, moreover:
at may be taken for granted that none of
these Senator'S will quibble over lack of
precedents for such action, fer there are
plenty of precedents. The classical ex-
ample is the case of Senator Conkling and
Senator Platt, of New York, when they re-
signed because President Garfield had made
an appointment to the Collectorship of the
Port which was Objectionable to them.
Their referendum was to the state Legs
lature and they were both defeated; but
the Senators who against a league of
nations are not restricted to such limited
method of vindication. Senator'S are
elected directly by the people and these
men can appeal directly to the people.

for his Missouri speeches. "The St.

The evening passed. Night came. The

supernatural peace, as if nature were
attempting to repair the rudenesses of
the day before.
In the silence i'll which the tides, white
and velvety as milk, broke almost with
out murmur, voices drew near.
"Oh! ship!' some one said in
musical tone. "Shall we go and sit down
there?"
"Anything you wish, my darling"
answered the tender voice of a Young
man.
And the skeleton ship saw the two
appear, the Prince Charming and the
fairy-she all white and he pale blue,
with pale blue casque, and garbed, as it
were, in the rays of the moonlight.

often, nc doubt, to encourage the building
of a race barrier. Moreover, the difference
in the matter of religion night have been
one of the strongest causes operating be-
hind discrimination.
"But we can no longer accept this state of

Baron Shibusawa refers in this article
to the old trouble in California, which
seems still an obstacle in the way of
complete cordial relations. 'It is wrong
for u.s." he opines, "to rush into argu-
ments" But the cure should be based
on "a free exchange of views" He states
that it has been his earnest desire to
bring about this exchange, and adds:
"In this connection, | thought it an ex-
cellent plan to attend the exposition held

was I asked by our people. But some of

"At that time / thought OF another mat

Japan over the. industrial development in
China. America had occupied the vantage
position of a neutral country in the great
struggle and her wealth had increased enor-
mously. To begin With, her territory is
tremendous; she is rich in men and gold
and her resources are many. Therefore, her
need for expansion into other countries
was comparatively small. AT the same
time, thought that she would think of ex-
pension as the result of the huge accumula-
tson OF her wealth through the war. 1t
was evident that she would try to expand
IN the direction Of South America, but at
the same time she would extend herself also

of the mainmast? Why those sails,
spread like flower with five petals?
Alas! Now, an old wooden skeleton,
with sides broken in, cast up there in
gray mud, she saw the living ships
pass out of port, spreading their white
or darkened wings. With all her poor
old forces she called to them:
"lt isn't truei You must see that it

She pondered and pondered-the old
ship. She recalled the beautiful hours
in port when, at low tide, her cargo
of fish discharged, her sails furled, she
tugged gently at her moorings and
creaked in her eagerness to go to sea
again.
10 go to sea again!
Since she had lain in misery in the
mud she had longed for the tempest,
the cyclone, the tidal wave which would
pluck her from her slime and restore
her to the deep, before destroying her
utterly, sunken wreck amid the other
sunken wrecks. She wished that for one
second, for one second only, she might
again cleave the waters, like the share
of plough.

Japan has never enjoyed perfect equal
ity among the nations, in spite of the fact
that some fifty years have gone by since
she entered the company of the great pow
ers of the world. Perhaps it is largely due
to the historic fact that Japan has been
isolated from Europe and America for
long period of time, during which she has
created distinct civilization and peculiar
customs of her own. Naturally, in many

some 400 feet in depth. The question
arises whether or not this gray chalk
is lmpervious to water. for through it
engineers consider the tunnel will have
to be bored. If it is impervious the
tunnelling will be easy compared with
the East River tubes.
In the building of these it was neces-
sary to bore through hard rock COW
cred with immense glacial boulders
overlaid with quicksand. In the case
of the Blackwell tunnel the bore was
run close under the gravel bed of the
river and a blanket of London clay.
which is impervious to water, was laid
between the gravel and the tunnel.
In connection with the proposed Dor
ing of the Channel tunnel, John X.
Hencken, an American engineer, has
come forward with a plan which he
says he has submitted to the British
Cabinet and which is now under con-
sideration. Mr.. Hencken claims to
have invented a wonderful machine
which, he claims, Will cut through
earth and rock almost like cheese at
the rate of 100 feet an hour. In fact
so rapidly does his invention work that
he asserts that he can have the tun
nels completed and ready for opera
ton, at an enormous saving of ex-
pense and labor, within few months
time instead of the years it is now ex-
pected will be required to build them.
Mr.. Hencken plans to not only have
a trackway in each of the four tun-
nels he proposes, but also a driveway
as we'll, along which motor lorries
can be driven from England to bases
in France without breaking bulk.
His plan is to have eight of his
machines in use, one at each end of
the four tunnels, and another set of
eight machines boring the approaches
at the same time. Two of the tunnels
would cut at depth of 100 feet be-
low the channel bed "to avoid posi-
bility to injury from above" and the
other two somewhat lower "to be used
as drainage tunnels additionally to
their use as traffic tunnels" The
bores will be cylindrical in shape. un
less It's decided to have both drive
ways and trackways, in which case the
lower half will be cut square or rect
angular.
In describing his machine, Mr..
Hencken says 1t consists of n series of
swinging hammers rotated at a pcriph
