MRS. MARGARET NJ.
 CRUMPACKER.

Among the many organizations founded to combat Bolshevism Is the National Service Legion, Inc, of which Mrs. Margaret NJ. Crum- packer, widow of Judge J. w. Crum- packer, of Indiana, is the treasurer and director of its Americanization campaign. Scores of speakers, most ly discharged soldiers and seamen, working under the direction of Mrs. Crumpacker, are going to the ship. yards, factories and other industrial centres caily to explain in short addresses the fundamentals upon which the American republic is built.
 Long before the United States en- tered the war Mrs Crumpacker was an ardent war worker and gained wide recognition through her work in France and Belgium. She was escorted through the front line trenches of the west front by French officers ard experienced all the sensations of being under fire

 Frederic R. Coudert, the famous international lawyer now a visitor in Alaska, in very clarifying article appearing the current Fords International Weekly, very cogenty says:

THE SHANTUNG QUESTION

There is not so much difference of opinion on the Shantung question the discussion in the Sen ate might lead to think. It is conceded on all sides that the settlement which Japan insisted upon and won is not what any of the other powers de- sired Certainly it is not what the United states desired
 The Japanese claim upon a series of treat les to which China has more than once acceded but with that entire willingness which makes a treaty valid in conscience well as in law Nev- ertheless the Japanese have legal claim, which has been so fully recognized that it will become operative whether the United States agrees or dis agrees
 What the United States ought to do in that stua- tion is a question of policy. Every nation which entered into the peace treaty gave up some claim or some principle. The Japanese themselves swal- lowed an exceedingly bitter pill when they consent ed to sign the treaty without clause recognizing the equality of the Japanese with the white races
 The United States is called upon to surren- opinion to what would be the best settle of the Shantung question for the sake of per- fecting the League of Nations, which will protect every country, including China, from such aggres- sion that by which Germany deprived China of sovereignty in Shantung. Japan has agreed that eventually 1t will retire from Shantung, and, even the outset, Japan will not claim any of the rights which Germany took under the original treaty Chin sovereignty Shantung is recognized by Ja- pan, so that China really gains something in the treaty, though not much as the Chinese wished
 If the United States should refuse approve the treaty it would endanger the whole plan of the League of Nations which country needs more than China, and nothing would be accomplished for the benefit of China, for the refusal of the Senate to ratify the treaty would not move single Japan official out of Shantung. In the words of Grover Cleveland, it is condition and not theory that conronts the Senate. The Japanese are in Shan tung and will stay there regardless of anything that the United States may do The practical thing to do in that situation is to join the League and deal with the Shantung question from the inside when the opportunity presents itself.
 The Japanese promise to leave Shantung Is in definite, but it is promise which must in honor be kept at some time China will be at liberty to make representations to when that time should be deemed to have arrived, and if the continued presence of the Japanese in Chinese territory should become irritating constitute threat of war the nations of the League would be warranted by the of the League in interfering in behalf of China.
 Thus settlement might be reached even against the wish of Japan, but it is fair assume that the Japanese promise to leave Shantung will be regarded by the Government promise to be fulfilled, just the United States regards its indefinite promise to free the Philippines a sacred obligation.

ANGLO-SAXON ALLIANCE VS. LEAGUE

An AngloSaXon alliance understanding ls urged by Presidential critics an alternative for the League of Nations. These critics contend that understanding of the English speaking peo- ples is necessary to make the peace of the world reasonably certain. When pressed, however, the advocates O this Anglo-A merican combination ad- nit that the United States could extraor- dinary international understanding that would not include France The service that country rendered America in for independence, the ces- sion of Louisiana to rather than to permit 1t c become British, thus insuring the domination of the United States in America, and the many other acts of friendship to preclude the possibility of our leaving France out of international understand inss.

to Sale of Mclaughlin
Estate, Which Is Sold
for a Total of S2l0,OOO

One of the most successful auction
sales held in the Ncsey Street Sales
room for many years was conducted
yesterday by Joseph P. Day. 1t was
estimated that nearly 1000 persons
were present, and the bidding was of
the most spirited kind. The sale which
brought the crowd to the salesroom was
the offerings of the estate Of James e..
Mclaughlin, comprising 104 improved
and vacant parcels in Brooklyn, The
Bronx and Nassau County. The total
sum received for the offerings was
$4,000.
The attendance was composed of
every type of buyer, from the small in
vestor to the large operator, showing
that the buying power was not confined
to any one class, but was indicative of
the general improvement of the buying
power in the real estate market.
Mr. Day said at the conclusion of the
sale that in his opinion every purchaser
had obtained a bargain. On the other
hand the heirs of the estate had been
much concerned over the outcome Of
the sale in view of the dull real estate
market which had prevailed for some
years back, and were much relieved and
satisfied to know that every parcel had
been liduidated and the estate wound
up The realty sold and the buyers
