THE. SFIANTUNG SETTLEMENT. MUST
BE FACED AS FULL OF DYNAMITE

THERE is furore in this country over the Shantung

Turning over Germanys immensely valuable Chinese
concessions TO Japan is nqtous procedure Let US
be frank about that Japan obtains only small terri

but the harbo land and railway advantages such as

It would offend Japan to hint decately, that

Then why may be asked, did the treaty makers in
France the Shantung concessions Japan

most energetic protests Of the Chinese representatives
The answer IS that japan had seized the concessions by
force Of and proposed to hold tightly what had been

general negotiations, japan proposed elimination Of all
immigration restrictions along racial lines, The Herald
said Japan would yield that point in order to insist

THERE is q group Of little supersti-
tons. omens, portents and spells
which might be called children's SUI
perstitions. They are beliefs which
for many decades children have held
loosely. not allowing them to inter-
fere with their simple pleasures. but
which they have never quite dropped
or forgotten
Some OF them have doubtless caused
many children real suffering, espe-
cially at night time. when they Will
recall the terrifying words Of some
grown up and lie for hours painting,
presplring, their hearts throbbing
with terror
The best known Of the children's
superstitions is the awful fear or
dread which children hold OF stepping
on the cracks OF the pavement or
sidewalk And II by any chance a
passerby has made It impossible for
them 10 conform TO this unWritten
law, and they tread upon q dividing
