The Private Opinion of An Official

The statement of the counsellor of the Japanese embassy at Washington that Japan has firmly de- ternined to China her sovereignty the leased territory of Kiao Chow adds nothing of value to the Shantung question. The counsellor speaks in the absence of the Japanese ambassador and definitely states and wants it distinctly under stood, that he is expressing only his personal view which is of value than the expressed belief of the American defenders of the Shantung outrage that Shantung will be restored to China
 There has been too much of a tendency to gloss this thing to rely upon the purposey indefinite promises of Japan which believes will be full filled without enforcement. There is nothing in the peace treaty looking to enforcement but the trary, a commitment of the nations the support of he policy of Japan whatever may be- in the pro- vince of Shantung.

 Was he eriously-bruised up?" inquired anxiously. for I remember, too well, how frightened I had been when Tommy and I had left Certeis in the bolshevik hall He wore the pallor of death, though Tommy had said he was only knocked out"

 NOT SUFFICIENT FUNDS!' All too frequently have those three words sounded the death knelI of romance.
 Not sufficient funds for what2
 For the husband to earouse and gamble with, at the same time trying to keep his family going at the rate his normal income would permit and deceiving the wife as to the actual state of his finances? | For the wife to buy expensive mil inery, wearing apparel and ''pretties" to which her husbands earnings in no way entitle her?
 | For husband. again, to "lend7 in l iudiciously, and never get it back; or to invest" in wildcat enterprises and watch it disappear? ! For wife, once more, to waste at the | butchers and bakers and grocery store by extravagant purchases of table delicacies or miscalculations and misconceptions of the needs of her l household?
 For husband AND wife, oftentmes, to dssipate in a vain endeavor to BUY social prestige, or business success, by keeping pace with "set" or gang who have dollars where they have dimes?
 TO FRITTER AWAY, IN OTHER WORDS WITH NO THOUGHT SAVE THAT OF HAVING A GOOD 1 TIME" OR BEING A GOOD EEL LOW OR PUTTING UP A FRONT?"

was a farmer of the town of Middle town. When Mr. Miller was 14 years of age he left school and entered the employ of a MIiddletown drygoods firm, working there until the year 1S48. when he came to New Britain and became a clerk in the Stanley & WhapleS drygoOds store. He later succeeded the members of this firm, and became the sole proprietor, when only 20 years of age. This store was situated at 221 Main street, and Mr. Miller afterward added the property which is the present. site of the Mill Ter drygoods stablishment.
 Mir. MiIler's Business Career.
 The business career of Mr.. Miller seems like a fiction story. When but still d youth, his father called Darius and his three brothers together and told them of the opportunities that lay outside their little farm, in the world of business. He gave each of his sons his blessings and s70O and some practical advise as he bid them farewell. By hard labor and good bus mess acumen, augmented by thrift and honesty, the combined fortune of s2,So0 of four brothers stea dily grew until today their wealth is estim ated at S3O00,0O0
 Upon departing from the farm, Darius and his brother, Charles dectd- ed to cast their fortune in New Brit ain in 1848. Buying property SAP a front foot, Darius opened a small dry goods store on Main street. The prop crty today is valued at $1,000 a front foot. Always attentive and pleasant [ to his customers his store soon be- came popular.
 Shrcwd Stock Investments.
 Mir. Miller had the business sense Of grasping opportunities at the right moment. At one time Cornelius Err win, one of the founders of Russell & Erwin Manufa curing company was hard pressed for money, and MT. Mil Ter forseeing fortune in the future of the concern, bought stocks valued at &11,000 for the sum of S5,000. At an other time he advanced 8 large sum Of money to a representative of P. X r.. Corbin's and when the man could not meet his obligation in cash, trans ferred some of his stock to MT. Miller
 MT. Miller was always interested ir the developme ent of New Britain anc the promotion of new organizations Tn IS60 he became associated with a number of men and was 1nstrum enta in obtaining a charter from the state for the establishmot of a nationa bank here. When the institution was Incorporated it's capital was Sl00, 900 Today the capital of the bank is $310.- quo and the surplus is $365, 900.

 The under secretary declared that the dispatch was incorrect in that the only concessions granted were five year permits to conduct fishing oper- ations. which permits allow no land or port holdings. He stated that when asked regarding the reported cOnces- sions by George T. Summerlin, ad interim charge at the American cnl- bassy here, he informed the Ameri- can diplomat of the facts substan- italy as given in his statement quoted above.
