It is not surprising that his strange
personality has quite eclipsed in popu-
lar interest here the debates of the
peace conference. Such men have al
ways aroused the greatest interest
One of them, Williams, the sailor, Incl
dentally dull and brutal individual.
i1au the honor Of an incompatible
essay from the pen of De Quincey. His
only claim to the title of artist con-
ferred on him seems to have been that
when at work he wore a fine lowered
silk dressing gown. Williams was not
in the same class with such murderers
as Holmes, the wandering assassin of
America; on a lower scale, Burke and
Hare, of Edinburgh, or Pranzini and
Prado in France, Marie Madeleine de
Brinvilliers and La Voisin, and, per-
haps most remarka BILE and least known
of all, Pierre Basson, the speculative
Boer in Cape Town. If, as is here as
sumed, Landru is guilty, he must take
his place as one Of the first practi-
TONERS of that gloomy and detestable
art, trade or profession. murder
Between all these villains there are
striking and interesting parallels, both
IN their methods and ways of thinking.
10 begin with their motive is almost
always money, though they differ
widely in their ambitions in this re-
spect, and they often use their dread
full art to perform acts of revenge and
jealousy as we'll, as did Brinvilliers.
Some Of them wish for great wealth,
like the little marquise with the big
blue eyes and her famous powders of
succession,' or Pierre Basson, with his
imperious and strange necessity for
great sums, expended no one knows
how Landru, like Holmes and Smith,
was more modest; he seems to have
had the mind of a small tradesman. He
was content if he could make decent
living. Possibly he regarded this evil
way OF life much as an ordinary man
who was called on so many times a
year to make an excessively dangerous
and unpleasant airplane fight might
DO The Paris papers have limited at
dark and vicious motives to complicate
the affair, but with a man Of Landru's
petit bourgeois way of thinking this
does not seem to be a necessary hypo-
thesis. He must be compared with
Smith, the Englishman, who drowned
women after marrying them, though a
much larger and more cunning operator,
IN that, like him, he had home and
wife and children, to whom he re-
turned from time to time. The periodic
!ty OF his crimes. almost always twice
a year. Is scarcely compatible with an
overwhelming and abominable passion.
Systematic murder with Landru is
no longer u black art, but dingy busi-
ness. From technical point of view
there are two main aspects in a pro-
fessional murderer's methods which

equivalent Of the Monroe Doctrine.
What is China going to do? Now,
in order to understand the psychology
of the Chinese people at the present
moment it is necessary to remember
what happened during the war Dur
ing the decade before 1914 China had
been comparatively free from direct
military aggression. But the world
war upset the balance of power and
Japan at once took the advantage. She
showed her hand first of all in pre-.
venting China from entering the war
IN 1914. Then came the twenty-one
demands and the subsequent ulti-
matum. The undisguised aid given to
the Manchurian brigands in Shantung
and the Chungchiatung incident we're
but part of the same scheme. Every
time the Chinese government yielded
against unmistakable public opinion
but the people remained calm, because
they were told each time that our case
would receive q just hearing at the
peace conference. AS the struggle be-
came more and more intense, the utter
ances of the Eureapon statesmen main
tanning that the war was a war of right
against might, and the high sounding
idealism of President Wilson attracted
widespread attention and reused
our national aspirations. The SYM
pathy of the Allied diplomatic agents
all over China, often openly expressed.
encouraged US still more.
Rightly or wrongly, therefore, the
Chinese people believed seriously that
the downfall of Germany meant also
the end of militarism all the world
over and the peace conference a
unique opportunity for redressine our
wrongs. Convinced of the justice of
their cause and confident of the SYM
pathy of the Allied powers, they put
their case plainly before the Paris con-
ference How thoroughly they have
been disappointed is tragic history"
New-York tribune., 1919-07-13

OF The Manchester Guar
dian" The occasion is the grewsome
case of Landru, the mysterious
Frenchman who for the last few
years has made a regular trade Of
wife killing and maintained his
"real' family on the proceeds. In
vestigation by the police shows, ac-
cording to the Paris dispatches. that
Landru has induced, by promising
marriage, one victim after the other

to-do, elderly, middle class women
to move with their belongings to a
secluded house in a remote suburb,
killed them and disposed of the bodies
in a manner hitherto unexplained,
appropriated their money and other
property, sold their furniture and
then started on another similar oper-
alton. The psychological and his
torical background of the case is an
alyzed by the English correspondent
as follows:
"Landru appears to be one Of those
great multiple murderers' who appear
from time to time to horrify humanity.

Decision on Shantung May
Change Whole Orient

then, Germany is thousands of miles
away from China and has many other
interests to consider, while Japan is at
our very door and can afford to give US
all her unwelcome attention.
In fact Shantung will become
second Manchuria, and, strategically,
Northern China will be at the mercy of
Japan, for from Tsingtau Japanese
troops can reach Pekin within twenty
four hours, and in less than half that
time the trunk lines connecting the
capital while the Yangtse Valley can
be cut. Peking will be firmly grasped
in pair Of Japanese pincers--Man-
churia in the north and Shantung in
the south.
The Economic Side
Let US see the economic side.
Japan, in spite of her organization, is
country without resources; she has
only few small coalfelds, already
rapidly becoming worked out, and
practically no iron ore. Nothing made
her realize her impotency more than
when America prohibited the export
of steel on entering the war. In re-
cent years great efforts have been
made to secure her needs at the ex-
pense of China. She had obtained al
ready two big coalhelds and consider
able iron deposit at the conclusion Of
the Russo-Japanese War. Hy presenting
to China an ultimatum in 1915 she en-
torted from us one of the largest iron
deposits, that of Anshan, on the South
Manchurian Railway. She controls
also some 450,000,00O tons of high
grade ore in the Yangtsc Valley. But
the Manchurian ores are mostly low
grade magnetic, partly unavoidable,
and the coal can only be used to a
small extent for metallurgical pur-
poses. Again, she possesses no coal
field near enough to- be employed for
the smelling Of the Yangtse iron ores.
The peace conference has given her
340,000,000 tons more of hcmatitc ore
and more than one billion tons of good
coal, all near the railway, the exten.
sion of which will traverse three big
coalhelds containing billions of tons
Of coking coal within economic dis
tance Of the Yangtse Valley. Thus as
the result Of the Paris conference
Japanese monopoly of Chinese iron in
dustry has been assured. The export
OF Chinese iron ore to Japan has been
of extraordinarily rapid growth; before
1912 1t was negligible, but it will prob
ably reach million tons in 1920.
with the enormous advantages just
acquired she will be able to increase
this supply four to Ave times within
the next ten years. Those who know
the ambitions of Japan can hardly
doubt that when she can build as many
ships with her own steel as she likes
Japan will assume a different attitude
toward such questions ~ racial equal

The Japanese Pir,cers

"The American communicate said
that Japan was to obtain all the rights
formerly belonging to Germany only
- an economic concessionaire, and that
Japan voluntarily engaged to hand back
the Shantung Peninsula in full sove
reignty to China. Let Us see how far
these statements are from the truth.

New-York tribune., 1919-07-13

"HE decision OF the peace con-
ference in regard to the
Shangtung Peninsula is dis
cussed in "The Manchester
Guardian by Liang Chi-chao, a
prominent Chinese scholar of eco
nomics and former Minister Of
Finance and of Justice, who writes:
Few people in Europe realize how
momentous was the decision taken by
the council of three in favor Of Japan
On the Shantung question. Without eX-
aggeration, we say that it exceeds in
importance all the other territorial ad-
iustments made by the conference, be-
cause of the area and population af-
fected. No we'll informed man can
have any douot that it will profoundly
modify the history Of the Asiatic con-
tinent. if rot that of the whole world.
'It is unnecessary to emphasize the
Justice of China's demands; they have
never been seriously questioned even
by the Japanese Everybody admits
that the territory of Kiao-chau is in
every sense purely Chinese; that the
occupation by the Germans in 1898 was
an act OF violence; that by entering
into the war on the side of the Allies
China nulltcd all her treaties with
Germany, and that the so-called agree
merits between japan and China we're
forced upon the latter by threats of
war. But Japan is strong and China is
weak; it is much easier to sacrifice
the latter than to offend the former.
Great Britain and France were bound
by secret treaty to support Japan
flee his league of nations, which would
have been put in danger by the threat
encd withdrawal of Japan. There we
have the whole story. Some people be-
lieve that in supporting the claims Of
the Japanese Great Britain must have
decided upon a new foreign policy,
which may have its ultimate object in
diverting Americas attention to the
Pacific Ocean. Events will show the
correctness Of this view. which need
not concern Us here. Let us simply
consider the necessary consequences of
the decision taken
