Chinese Children Sold as
Low as Twenty-Five Cents
Markets Found in Cities

China's appalling poverty is tradi-
tional. The average man and woman
goes through life with only an Occa-
sional relief from the pangs of hun
ger, says Frederick Moore in Worlds
Work. Tens of thousands of people
die annually from starvation. Moth
ers in the poorer sections of every
town and village destroy female
babies because they are unable to
feed them. Sometimes the parents
sell them into slavery or dishonor. In
times of drought and famine a regu-
lar traffic is conducted in children
generally by boat along the canals
and rivers. The price goes at times
as low as % cents for a healthy child,
nothing being paid for sickly one.
Under ordinary conditions a strong
young girl will bring anywhere from
ten to a hundred dollars or more. In
ordinary times regular practice of
stealing children prevails in some re-
gions. They are conveyed, generally
in boats, to the large cities and sold
privately.

Idle Soldiers in Europe
Require Entertainment and
Diversion More Than Ever

The close of the war does not mean
that the need for theatrical entertain
ers to entertain American troops in
France has ended or even diminished.
On the contrary, it is greater. than
ever. 1t is obvious that many Ameri-
can soldiers will remain in Europe for
long time. With idle time on their
hands, lacking the excitement and ex-
altation of battle, they must have
clean, wholesome entertainment.
SO the Young Mems Christian asso-
citation and Americas Over There
Theater league, which have cooper
ated in sending entertainment units
abroad, are now expanding their eff
forts. James Forbes, the playwright,
accepts applications and organizes
units.
"From July 80 to November 9 we
sent 102 entertainers abroad" Mr..
Forbes announces. eve will continue
to send as many as we can until the
last American soldier is out of France.
Now that the fighting is over they
need amusement and diversion more
than ever, and they keep urging and
urging and urging us to send more
players"
Hitherto the performers sent abroad
have been practically all vaudeville
players. There were several reasons
for this. Transportation was limited,
so the travelling companies had to be
small and they could not carry the
scenery and costumes necessary for
dramatic productions.
From now on, however, Mr.. Forbes
says the soldiers will have drama as
we'll as vaudeville.

September 80, 1900, ended a war that
was not a war, was negotiated for the
United States by Oliver Ellsworth,
William Richardson Davie and VIII
liam Vans Murray; for the first con-
sulate by the following counselors OF
state: Jerome Bonaparte, Charles
Pierre, Claret Fleurien and Pierre
Louis ROederer The quarrel, on the
French side, was a legacy from the
directory to Napoleon's first con,
sulate.
The change in the French govern
ment made possible a reconciliation
without formal progress into war. BY
the convention France recognized the
rights of neutral vessels and promised
indemnities for her navy's depreda-
lions. Depending on what historian you
read, Americas success in the confer
ence was mainly the work of Ellsworth
or that of Murray. John Adams, Fed
eralist, was president at the time. The
vice president was Jefferson.
Two of President Adams commits
sioners, Ellsworth, who had just re-
signed the office of chief justice, and
Murray, who had been Washington
minister to the Netherlands, were
strong Federalists. Davie, English
born, former governor Of North Caro-

seemed to have been a free lance in
early politics. The scene of the con-

Japanese Forecast Direful
Race Trouble for the World
Fear an Armed Collision

Belief that the next war will pc
the outcome of race preJudlces IS e1-
pressed by Yukio Ozaki, formerly
minister of justice and leadlng
member of the constitutional party.
Mr.. Ozaki said that in his opinion the
colored races, which steadily were de-
veloping their civilization, would de-
mand finally the same treatment as
the white races, and that the result
would be an armed collision.
Mr.. Ozaki recommended that Japan,
acting on behalf of all Asiatic races,
should introduce the racial and popu-
lation questions for consideration ana,
if possible, secure solution. In
country like Japan, where the popula-
ton is increasing with alarming
rapidity, he said it was but natural
that the surplus population should
try to obtain an outlet even by resort
ing to arms. From Japan's stand
point, said Mr.. Ozaki, the racial or
population questions were more I'M
portant than President Wilson's

basis for Germany's surrender. These
racial questions, he said, concerned
the future of millions of souls in Asia.
Mr.. Ozaki warned the Japanese not
to develop the German system of state
organization, which in the war had
proved to be mere machine for de-
stroying civilization and for tramp
ling under foot the rights of other ma
tons and peoples. On the question
of Japan's occupation of the German
South Sea islands, Mr.. Ozaki de-
clared that the United States should
dismantle her forts in the Philippines
and Hawaii and that this would be
more important for Japan than the
taking over of the South Sea islands,

PubIic's Fancy for Songs
Is Very Hard to Forecast

A photoplay magazine says that a
subscriber complained because the edi-
tor did not keep it's readers Informed
about coming song hits. The editor
answers that any man or woman who
could do this could collect from $780,
600 to 100000 a year from publish
ers by keeping them supplied with this
advance information. Nothing, says
the editor, can boom a song into popu-
larity. He instances song on which
the publishers spent $4,000 in in
genious advertising, but it wouldn't
stake" The public's fancy for song
is one of the most uncertain things

Soldiers Overseas Safe
From Winter Hardships-
Have Supply of Clothes

Mothers, sisters and sweethearts in
America need not worry about pro-
lection of their soldiers in Europe
against the rigOrS of winter, writes a
Paris correspondent. The quarter
masters corps specialists in France
declare that the boys are better
equipped than the majority of them
ever were in civilian life.
Each soldier has two pairs of heavy
nail-clinched and dubbed shoes
which are impervious to water, five
pairs of wool socks, three suits wool
underwear, two complete wool uni
forms, two wool o. D. flannel shirts,
one short but heavy OvercOat, trench
style, and one pair of wool knit spiral
puttees ten feet long. The quarter
masters corps estimates that the aver
age soldier in campaign wears out one
pair of trousers every two months,
and makes provision on this basis, al
though the normal life of a pair of
breeches is six months. Every soldier
has also an overseas cap that has a
felt protector to pull down over his
ears. He is not allowed to wear the
old issue of campaign hat that his
folks at home are used, to seeing. He
has wool gloves and one-fnger leather
mittenS over them and each soldier
is provided with at least three
blankets and a waterproof slicker or
raincoat.
In addition to all this every soldier
On outdoor duty has leather waist
coat to wear beneath his overcOat.

gress as a Democrat, in the present
day party sense.
For the achievement Of our commits
sion much of the credit has always
been given to Clay. The best opinion
nowadays overshadOws him with Gal
latin. The late Henry Adams, grand
son of the American chairman on the
occasion. and a cOnscientiOusly just
New England historian, writes: "Fal
more than contemporaries ever sup
posed or than is now imagined, the
treaty of Client was the especial
work and the peculiar triumph OF
Mr.. Gallatin."
The peace with Mexico, concluded
in the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo
was a curious specimen of such nego
tiations. The lone hand American
commissioner was Nicholas Phlll1
Trist, chief clerk of the state depart
ment under President Polk, and, like
Polk, a thoroughgoing Democrat as
Democrats are today. There was
nothing very intricate to negotiate
with Mexico We had gone to war tc
establish the boundary at the Rio
Grande as against the Mexican con
tention for the Nueces.
The peace that was made not only
satisfied our government as to that
portion of the boundary but also fiXeC
the remainder of it, giving us New
Mexico and what was then called Up
per California. Trist's job was tt
make those stipulations and conclude
a treaty yielding to them. He first met
Santa Annals commissioners in the
summer of 1S47. General Scott had
not beer notified of Triest's mission
and uuarreled violently with him when
he appeared.
Treaty Made Without Authority.
During an armistice in August Trist
whose instructions as to New Mexico
and California had followed him, failed
to come to an agreement with the
Santa Anna commission, which made
counter proposals and rejected all
the American demands. At the end OF
the armistice fighting was resumed
and in Difference to Scott Trist was
recalled by the authorities at Wash
ington. Before the order reached
him, however, he had made friends
with Scott and by SCOTS advice he re-
NAMED on the ground regardless OF the
order. At Christmas time, 1S47, Scots
army took the city of Mexico and
Santa Anna resigned the Mexican
presidency.
Trist then, without any authority
except Scott's, resumed negotiations
procured the treaty that was wanted
and took it back TO Washington. Polk
submitted it to the senate on February
%. Senatorial opposition caused modi-
.fications to which Mexico acceded, and
ratification came on March 16.
Our treaty of peace with Spain was
concluded at Paris, December 10, 1898.
The American commissioners were
William r. Day, late secretary of state,
chairman: Senators Cushman K. Davis,
William P. Frye and George Gray, and
Whitelaw Reid. All but one of the
men appointed by Mckinley were OF
his own party Senator Gray was a
Democrat.

Cuba. coded Porto Rico. the Philip

provisional treaty was signed at Paris
November 80, 1882, the defnitive
treaty September 8, 1888, General
Washington having declared cessation
of hostilities in January, 1888.
The American commissioners in the
first conference were John Adams,
Franklin, Jay and Henry Laurens; in
the second the same without Laurens.
Richard OsgoOd negotiated for the
king in the first conference, David
Hartley, M. P, in the second. The
four main questions in both were the
boundaries of the United States, fish
ing rights off Newfoundland, the pay
ment of private debts of American cit
liens to British and compensation
by the United States to British loyal
lists (tories) whose property had been
confiscated by the colonies during the
war.
The two former questions had to
be further adjusted later on, although
presumably conclusive agreements
were then arrived at, the United
States getting the territory between
the Alleghanies and the Mississippi,
and getting the right to fish off the
Newfoundland coast, but not to dry
the catches on those shores. There
was to be no lawful impeachment to the
recovery of debts either way, and
American legislation was to rec
ommend making the lOyalists i'm
mune from considerations or prosecu-
tons.
1t is unlikely that there will ever
be an American peace commission
of greater ability than this one. Frank
lin, our representative at Paris, had
won for the struggling, colonies the
invaluable friendship and aid of
the French government. John Adams
was to be president, Jay to be chief
justice of the United States Supreme
court, Laurens was former president

BRAKE ADJUSTER
SAVES WORRY.
Cole Motor c CompanyE Equip,
ping All Models with Au-
tomato Contrivance.

In line with its policy Of incor-
porating in the Cole Aero-Eight
every possible convenience and
economy the Cole Motor Car Com
pany Is equipping all of its present
models with an automatic brake ad-
tuster which makes annoying ad-
justment OF the service brake un-
necessary.
Every time the service brake is
used there is a certain amount OF
wear on the brake band In order
to properly apply the brakes on a
car irlinarily it is necessary each
time to force the brake pedal down
a little farther. This wear takes
place gradually, but none the less
certainly. The day oftentImes ar
rives when the motorist is unable
TO stop the car quickly with the
service brake alone and must re-
sort to the emergency.
The automatic brake adJuster on
the Cole Aero-Eight chassis Is
mounted at the junction of the serv-
Ice brake pedal and the brake rod.
As the wear on the brake band takes
place, notches within the adjuster
automatically move back on the
brake rod and absorb the surplus
length occasioned by this wear.
Consequently adjustment OF tho
service brake pedal is made every
time the brake band wears down
a tri1e and the amount of leverage
necessary to apply the brakes prop
erly remains constant
1t is such exclusive features as
the automatic brake adjuster which

cal operation that brand the Cole
