Expected Effect.

While the agitation over the Shan
tung question cannot be said to have
pleased friends Of the president because
OF the Inevitable tendency of such a
settlement to cas- discredit on the work
of the Versailles conference. neverthe-
less, the publicity which has been given
to the far Eastern problem is bound to
have a favorable effect on its ultimate
settlement by amicable methods.
What Mr.. Wilson Is believed to have
told the Japanese delegates In Paris
concerning the unfavorable impression
which their demands would make on
the public opinion of America and the
world generally has now been confirmed
and IT Is not at all inconceiVable that
the president on renewing his repre-
sensations for a revision Of Japan's de-
mands will be able to point to the sem
atorial opposition as evidence of the
greater harm than good to Japan by in
sisttng upon an aggressive policy in
China.
Yet the Japanese on their part have
told the Americans again and again
that charity begins at home and that
the Japanese ought not to be expected
TO surrender rights or make sacrifices II
others are unwilling to do the same.
Has the United States surrendered the
Monroe doctrine? Has England or
France given up their leases in Gilman
Has Italy been absolutely denied
Fiume? The Japanese would be more
impressed II Great Britain, for instance,
gave up some place like Wei-Hai-Wei
so that Japanese public opinion might
understand that everybody had become

This paragraph, quoted from the

serious problem which faces the new

Of the country, ac 'Ording TO ~transporta-

locomotives and several hundred miles

the coaches, on the couplers, or on the

AS a rule about so persons are &C

This is fine enough in fair weather,

coal smoke that pours from the locomo-

LONDON, July 22.-The house of com

the third reading was moved Joseph
Deylin, nationalist, demanded its rejec-
ton as a protest against the premier's
reference to Ireland. :
Mr.. Lloyd George, replying, ridiculed
the suggestion that his attitude toward
ireland had changed. The nome rulers,
he added, could have home rule for
themselves if they wished it but they
could not force 1t on Ulster. The house
then rejected Mr.. Devlin's motion by. a

AMBASSADOR TO u. S.

TOXIC. July 22-The opinion general
ly prevailing that Wiscount 'Ishii will
not return to Washington as Japanese
ambassador, public attention is CEN
tered on the question Of his successor.
The Washington diplomatic post is con-
sidered by Japanese to be the most i'm
portant of all.
In this connection the Herald OF Asia,
a leading Japanese weekly, which Is
printed in English, suggests hat Japan
adopt the American method and send
n great Japanese citizen rather than a
professional diplomat. 1t suggests tho
name Of j. Inouye, the president of the
Bank Of Japan, Baron Mitsui. Baron
lwasaki, or Baron Shibusawa, and
adds:
by any one Of these men the real
Japan would be better represented than
by some champions of her strictly
trained diplomatic corps. The Ameri-
cans do not much believe in or appre-
ciate those versed in the wiles Of diplo-
macy"
