JAPAN TO SETTLE
SHANTUNG ISSUE
Expected Soon to Announce
Purpose Of Restoring the
Province to China.
BEARING ON PEACE PACT

Assurances received that Japan
within the next few days will make
public a statement announcing in
succinct fashion her intentions in re-
gard to Shantung-undoubte re-
iteration of Japan's intention to re-
store the province to China-has been
received with delight in alministra-
ton circles.
Among those familiar with the
situation there has been unquestioned
confidence that japan would do Just
would do. Furthermore, it is con-
tended. statement from japan
guaranteeing Chinese integrity and
surrender Of strictly national Jap
anese rights in Kiaochow., Tsingtau
and Shantung will do much to pave
the way for earlier ratification of the
peace treaty in the United States.
View of Administration.
It is not believed in administration
circles that United States senators
can continue their assaults upon the
shantung settlement, and japan par
ticularly, unless they wish to go on
record as refusing to trust the word
of a power which President Wilson and
other government officials believe to be
playing in good faith not only with
China but with the world at large.
Japan's intentions are to be set
forth in a formal declaration from tne
Toxic government, according to in
formation received in official circles
here.
In some quarters it was believed
Japan might even set a date for the
restoration, and acknowledge publicly
the secret understanding she Is said
to have with China on that subject.
Due to Informal Diplomacy.
r The reported decision Of the Japa-
nese government to make known its
purposes is believed to be the out
growth Of informal diplomatic con-
versations between Washington and
Toxic rejecting the American gov
ernment's desire that all the facts In
the case be given to the public. Presi-
dent Wilson has told many senator's
that complete exposure Of the case
would throw "a new light on the
ST. antung provision. which has been
one of the points of attack in Senate
opposition to the treaty's ratifica-
ton.

Four and twenty robins. or even

from Albany that tie commission had
Just imposed fine Of $500 on one
John Vera Of that village for shoot
ing robins Wholesale.

commission. were the bodies of So
robins and two cedar waxwings.
Vera got off lightly inasmuch as he
really owed the State-at $25 a bird

Airplanc Hat in vogue

The airp!ane hat sailed into fashion
history April 10. It was worn by one
of the women in the Palm Sunday pa
rade of 100000 which encountered the
Boardwalk. The hat is shaped like
an eirplane. Two planes project at
either side and there Is propeller in
front. This one was brown and white
a Tightly blonde also was a victim
of the infection and sauntered along
in leather skullcap, jacket and put
tees, the ingenuity of her modiste
having failed only at contriving some
flying appurtances from her skirt.
Bizarre costumes were rare among
the women paraders, however, most
of whom seemed to be daunted by the
weather. There were frequent rain
squalls. For the most part the Co.'S
tunes were dark and of solid colors,
many of the women wearing capes.
The men paid less heed to climatic
conditions. They wore checks. plaids
and stripes in suits. shirts and over.

for which tn. police had long hunted
in vain.
One of the most common resources
for overcoming this difficulty is en-
ploying the "two-penny detective
that is, sending a registered letter
to the person whose signature is
wanted. This is frequently success
full Thinking the postal packe, .~n-
tains money or valuables &c ad-
dressee unexpectedly signs the re-
ceipt. only to discover that inside the
envelope there is nothing but a
faxed letter.
This trap once caught an anony-
nous letter writer-a woman-who,
on being =. rrogated shortly before
had declared that she could not
write. and whose friends believed
her to be illiterate. It was. in fact,
mainly instrumental in getting her
six months imprisonment. 1t should
be carefully noted that the receipt
for registered letter is not given up
to anybody, but can be obtained only
in certain cases to further the ends
Of justice.

History Anne Richie.

A long vista reopens with the news
that Anne Thackeray Richie is dead.
Thackeray's daughter published her
first novel, THE Story of elizabeth"
in 1868. the year her father died; and
her last. Mrs. Dymond," in 1885; so
that in time as we'll as in spirit her
work belongs distinctly to the Vic
torian era. 1t may be that these
novels, even the most charming one
of ALL "Old Kensington.' published
in 1873. are little read now; If so.
they share the fate OF others we'll
worth reading.
No doubt her parentage had some
thing to 90 with the attention Anne
Thackeray attracted in her early
days. Yet, though hereditary in
fluences may be traced in her, she
had a very distinct gift Of her own.
Her stories flowed quietly; they had
no great dramatic force. but they
were subtle in characterization and
appealing in style. Had the great
master of English fiction survived
to read her pages. he would have
taken delight in them.
Mrs. Richie was best known in la
ter years as an upholder of her faith.
er's fame. Thackefay forbade
formal biography, though Trollope
felt constrained to write brief one.
But his daughter without in any way
transgressing his prohibition. gave
the world many charming glimpses
Of a personality more lovable. per-
haps than that Of any other writer
of his generation. Those who most
admire Thackeray the writer cher
ished the memory OF Thackeray the
man with ev> n profounder reverence.
His daughter made it sufictantly
clear that, whatever record leaped to
light, he never would be shamed.
The edition OF his works which she
edited may fairly be regarded as the
final one.

THE LAND OF GOSHEN
A County Court Decision as to Alec.
hoi Which Will Not Please the Drys
MANY Similar Decisions Likely

(From the New York Times)
What interpretations of prohibi-
stion unwelcome to it's sincere and I'M
compromising champions may be ex-
pected of juries, its final judges for
it's authority or impotence, may be
conjectured from recent verdict Of
the county court jury at Goshen. in
Orange county; capital of butter
and a region Of hard-headed, sensible
men. Mr.. Sylvanus J. Ogden. some
time a barkeeper in Goshen. vended
certain cider in dry Middletown.
The law that forbids intoxicating
drinks in communities which. like
Middletown. have voted to prohibit
them, neglects to prescribe the
ume that brands drink as intoxi-
eating and banned. The sample
taken from the Ogden reservoirs and
submitted to that Orange county
jury contained 500 per cent alcohol.
The jury held that cider with that
percentage Of alcohol is not hard
unpermitted, nor Intoxicating. This
opinion was reached by eleven jury
men on the first ballot then by all the
twelve.
The scientific precision, justifica-
ton, or value of that opinion need
not concern us. The meat and mar
row Of the verdict is it's probable
agreement with the public sentiment
which that jury represents and in
dicates. Nearly twice the alcoholic
content Of contemporary beer is
held by twelve good men and true as
mild, harmless. and to be approved
in cider, a blameless refreshment of
the countryside.
What Goshen and Orange County
have done for cider. obviously not
