ion, since Oct. 8. The letter, re-
ceived from an uncle of Corporal

camp somewhere in France. He
was wounded about Sept. 26 and
was in a hospital for n month.

was gassed, which again put him

JAPANESE ARE
AWAKENED TO
S.STRENGTH

TOXIC, Dec. ~. M rapid
ity with which the United States
prepared for war and the magni-
tude and success Of her military
operations continue to draw ex-
pressions of admiration from the
Japanese. Generally speaking,
the public in Japan regarded the
United States as a peace-loving ma
ton, which, having no bent for
war, could never do much in the
building up of a great army.
The wonderful Transformation of
America in the war is the subject
of many articles by prominent
publicists. Thus, DR.. Shigeo Su-
yehiro, professor of Kyoto univer-
sity, writes:
There is no Disgusting the fact
that prior to the war the JAPAN
csc did not believe in the military
strength of America, but the pres
ent titanic struggle has demon
strated beyond all doubt the er.
ror of the Japanese estimate. The
United States has become a great
military power at a bound and her
navy is only second to that of
Great Britain. The financial re-
sources of America are something
tremendous. 1t is stated that
America would be able to keep the
war going for a quarter of a CEN
ture at the rate of expenditure
which she spent for the first year
Nor is this all.
1.-THE Americans are as great
spiritually as their country is al
most limitless in resources. Just
imagine that the Americans, whom
some Japanese consider as slavish
worshippers of Mammon, working
for their country at an allowance
Of 81 a year,. they endured the
hardship Of meatless and wheatless
days in order to obtain a supply
of surplus provisions available for
the allies, and no dissentient voice
was raised against the proposed
restriction of the manufacture of
liquor.
"The material and spiritual sac
%rifices made by the Americans in
the cause of the a as evidenced
in these and other things are real
ly wonderful, showing as they do
the greatness of America and her
people,"
DR.. Suyehiro thought that it
would be the height Of a~bsurdity
for Japan to pick a quarrel with
such a great country without a
sufficient casus belli. Japan
should stand for an open-door pol
icy in the Far East, but in return
she should receive similar treat
ment in Indo-China, Canada, Aus
tralia and New Zealand. He said
that America had been excluding
Japanese migrants, but he thought
it very doubtful whether she was
sufficiently justified in so doing.
Japan, he said, should strive to
have the United States correct her
latitude, not by brute force, but
by appealing to her sense of JUS
tice and humanity, and this he APP
piled with equal force to British
and French territory where dis
elimination against the Japanese
is in force.

AMERICAN OFFICERS
STUDY OLG RUINS
N FRENCH CITY

CHAUMONT, France Dec. 81
In such spare time as their CLUBS
permit many of the officers of the
American headquarters staff have
studies the interesting historical
relics of this little city. While
not so old as some of its neighbor-
ing towns, nevertheless Chaumont
is a fertile field of investigation.
It was once the seat and strong
hold of the counts Of Champagne.
On the edge of a tree-clad preci-
pice that commands a wide sweep
of field and forest still stands the
r Tour Hautefeuille, a relic OF
the castle of the counts OF Cnam-
pagne. A massive square struc-
ture of masonry, lichened n
gray with age, it now forms m
angle of the more modern pala1s de
Justice and is in such good con-
dition that it is hard to realize
that it dates from the eleventh CEN
tury. Below it are the cells OF q
court house, and around it's base
is a quaint walled garden shaded
by ancient trees. This was once
the castle garden, and from a deep
ravine a stairway tunneled from
the rock leads to the old tower.
Many of Chaumont's houses date
to the twelfth century, but next
to Tour Ha%utefeuille in interest is
the church Of st. Jean. Crowded
in between buildings on all sides,
this beautiful old edifice shows to
less advantage than many newer
churches and cathedrals, but few
of them hold more of interest. 1t
dates from the thirteenth, fifteenth
and sixteenth centuries and re-
mains are exquisite monuments of
each period.
The beautiful double porch of
the south portal is we'll known to
architects and it's flamboyant
Gothic is in strong contrast to the
severe renaissance style OF the
west portal. The interior orna-
mentation is rich and varied, the
triforium in the transept being
embellished with an exquisite cor
nice supported on corbels. The
church also holds a painting of
st. Alexis ascribed to Andrea del
Sarto. A chapel in the north isle
holds a curious holy sepulchre dat
ing from 1850.
The pulpit and stalls are theI
work of Bouchardon, father of the
famous sculptor, who was a ma
tiev of Chaumont, having been
born here in 1893.
But Chaumont's place in later
history probably rests on the fact
that here was signed the famous
treaty of 1914, by which the al
lied sovereigns pledged themselves
to reduce France to the limits of
1888. In an ancient building in
the Rue Bouchardon, ono a con-
vent, but now the residence of a
wealthy citizen, and for the pres
ent loaned as the official Ameri-
can guest house" and officers
club. there is a stained glass win
dow concentrating the signing
of the treaty. 1t is claimed that
the historic event took place in
this building.
Chaumont was the birthplace
and home of PHILIPPE Lebon, the
pioneer, of gas lighting in France.
and near the railway station is a
bronze statue of him by Pechinet.
Lebon was born in 1857.
