SEATTLE, Dec. Washington s birds may soon look down with just arrogance upon the birds of other districts, because they are to have a census taken of them Members of the Seattle Audubon Society who have undertaken the difficult task at the request of the National Audu bon Society, are not sure that they will be able to tally all the birds but they hope to secure at least some valuable data.
 The census will be taken about Christmas time. The City will be divided into districts and the census takers have volAteered to count birds observed in their district, to- gether with furnishing a report on the temperature, direction and veloc- ity of the wind, during periods of not less than four hours each.

LEWIS MAKES CHARGES ON
 REPUBLICANS
Claim They Are Trying to Discredit the Plans of the President
 Abroad.

WASHINGTON, Jan. ?. - Senator John w. Weeks of Massachusetts, Republican, today criticised the War Department for delays and errors in compiling casualties. He said the Red Cross in August located in nos pitfalls 200 Americans reported miss ing by the War Department.
 Senator James Hamilton Lewis, Democrat, in replying, charged the Republicans with conspiring to dis credit the Administration for political purposes. He said they were trying to discredit the trip of President Wilson abroad and trying to thwart his purpose, by giving Europeans the impression that the Senate was op- posed to Wilson's plans.
 Senator Lewis declared that the Senate had nothing whatever to do with what Wilson was now doing. He said he was reliably informed that in the world there is no law under which the President is under any obligation to submit what he is doing to the Senate.

PLANTING OF A
 LIVE TREES FOR

With the need of conservation in the matter of our forests it is realized that a great loss is sustained annually by the cutting down of millions of small frs and pines for use as Christmas trees.

regulation which requires d maxi

to go east and west while the traff1c
moved north and south at six miles
an hour. and then the congestion that
would accumulate as result would
start moving east and west at the
same speed, and very soon there
would be traffic jam that no officer
would be able to untangle, and then
if emergency vehicles tried to get
right of way further trouble would
result
The trouble is that few pedestrians
have any idea of speed. Very few
street cars move between street cross
ings at less than eighteen miles per
hour, and could not maintain sche-
dulles nor get the public to their
homes at less speed. An auto NOV
ing at fifteen miles an hour can stop
short in twenty-five feet if the brakes
are in good condition, and if Il driver is
watching the road, is not under the
influence of liquor and uses ordinary
care and judgment in driving. can
safely drive machine at fifteen TO
eighteen miles per hour in the city

Auto drivers are blamed by pedes-
trians for most of the accidents
because they drive closer to the curb
and are more apt to hit the Jay
walkers" who step off from the curb
without looking while street cars
travel at just as great II not greater
speed than the autos. but they have
the center of the street. Nor is there
any more reason why an auto should
stop at a street crossing to permit
pedestrians to cross than that a street
, car should; one is just Is hard to stop
and start as the other. If the
pedestrians who have written letters

THE problem must be solved both

Relations With Other Countries.

TO issues involving our relations with
other countries. They think that
Japanese diplomacy hitherto has been
weak. The 'ignom:nious triple inter
ference after the Chinese Japanese
war and the hurniliating terms of the
Portsmouth treaty are all attributed
to the weakness of our diplomacy
Terrific public demonstrations of
anger followed the Portsmouth treaty.
From this it is easy to imagine how
keenlv alive our public is to the is
sues OF this peace conference. The
people realize that the decision of the
conference will have a, far-reaching
effect not only upon the peace of the
orient. but upon the safety of Japan
herself.
They also are keenly interested in
essentially European questions since
the principles involved in the foTTna-
ton of new Europe are destined TO

Attitude Toward China.
What is Japan's present policy re-
garding China ?"
Japan is firmly convinced that the
political aud economic cooperation of
Japan and China is the corner stone
of peace in the far east. This con-
viction is the first principle of our
diplomacy toward China. Perhaps
some of our diplomats in the past
have been tempted to think that the
end of maintaining peace in the orient
justified what sometimes seemed to
be harsh means to China, but even
these instances of unkind thinking
toward China were not actua ted by
a deep and strong conviction that
Japan and China could not continue
dickering and pinpricking forever
and at the same time keep perpetual
peace in the orient.
While. we are doing our best to
suppress short-sighted and ire
sponsible utterances of certain free
lance politicians who advocate what
they call a strong policy, We cannot
avoid thinking that it is to be seri-
ously regretted that some of the Chi
nese people have an erroneous i'm
preston that China's true interest
lies in outwitting japan. whose sin
cerity of purpose their prejudiced
minds seem unable to discern

culture but only the dirt and smell. This sort of entertainment is so inn possible for women that they gener- ally avoid it by passing the night in the waiting-rooms of railway stations.
 When one comes to look about by daylight, it becomes apparent at once that there are three entirely distinct civilizations juxtaposed here, which, however, do not touchff-the native population, the Americans, and the French. The American soldiers are forbidden to have any dealings with the population. This restriction ap- plies. all the way from higher head quarters to the smallest town in the occupied area. 1t cannot be so well enforced naturally in urban districts
 but is maintained very strictly in Coblenz, especially as it applies to the daughters of the land. Nowhere does one see an American speaking with a German. Should an officer be seen on the street with a German woman, he would immediately be stopped by the American military DO lice, members of which are stationed armed with clubs, with prodigal fire quency on every street corner.
 Strange as is the effect of this re striction-it does not exist in the re zion occupied by French troops ant was not in force with the German troops either during the war-it origi mates not in any feeling inimical to ward us, but from peculiarity in thu American way of thinking. Int | Americans require of the Germans nt manifestations of submissiveness o
 of affection the population Is allowed
 to express its feeling and opinions il | so far as they are not unfriendly t | the Americans. They do not censo
 the press except to this extent. Ol the other hand, they see no occasion for assuming any other attitude to | ward us than one of sober and unemc
 tional detachment The motto whicl
 governs their dealings and punctuate
 their speech Is: It is war There fore, there should be no fraternizs
