lieVed to have been assured when the conve ntion is submitted to the United States senate, in the view of news papers here. Today's journals which have been commenting favorably upon the proposed treaty, today greet cd the terms of the convention with enthusiasm, and based their forecast of ratification upon the fact that Sen ator Lodge presented the treaty at Saturd avs plenary session of the con- ference on limitation of armaments.
 The apparently impossible, is, in effect, an accomplished fact" said the Teegr aph. Our alliance with Japan has passed out of existence upon the only terms which Japan could regard as satisfactory and which we could feel to be honorable. By this achieve ment alone, President Harding's ad- mnistration has fully justified the bold and magnanimous stroke of statesn anship by which it amazed the world a few months ago.
 The newspaper concluded by paying tribute to Japan's generous and far sighted policy throughout the pro- ceedings."
 In the opinion of the Westminster Gazette the only weakness of the treaty lies in the fact that it does not guarantee the integrity of China, but, with that exception, the newspaper declared today it regarded it as the ideal solution.' II remarked that the provision of the convention that a threat by one power should be the business of all contained the spirit of the league of nations.

Sugar From Corn Stalks.

Investigating the sugar production
of corn stalks, p. Vieland. French
chemist, has found that the stem of
the maize plant normally contains no
Sucrose, or cane sugar, and very little
deXtrUSc, or grape sugar. If the ears
are removed when the grain begins
to be miI,ly, however, sugars accu-
mUatc IN The stem, and in 7 to 81
days after removal of the ears the
cNtracubIe amounts may reach I to
10 per cent of sucrose and to 3
per cent of dextroSe. While not
more 'han one-third of the sucroSe can
he obtained in or! ,tallizable form, this
is immaterial in the production of alco-
hol. It is calculated that 100 gallons
Of alcohol per acre of maize crop can
be produced. The growth of the
plants is fairly rapid, and the period
between planting and the gathering
Of the stems would he about 400 days.
