WASHINGTON, Nov. 26-The
hidden hand of the Japanese gen.
'erel staff which for years has been
closing around Picking and all North
China, is about to be revealed.
Giving the lie to the charge that
they r the puppets of General
Chang Tso-lin. ex-bandit and tool of
Jaran, members of the Chinese DEL
egation here will not be satisfied
with anything less than a complete
showdown of secret agreements
concerning China. And Japan is
baking.
Japan. they charge. is the chief
offender il the matter of secret
dealings with the F1owery Repub-
lie. T~hirty-odd agreements were
forced upon Picking and the prov
inces-in some instances with the
connivance of high Chinese OFF,
cials-in 1918 when secret loans
amounting to more than 500, 000,-
900 were made on security of rail-
roads and mining properties.
Through these loans Japan
gradually broadened her spheres
Of influence" from which to draw
vast quantities of raw materials
without molestation.

undoubtedly try to help China set
up a successful republican govern
ment.
In this fundamental respect, there
fore, Great Britain's interests are
those of Japan rather than those OF
the United States-that is, hos OF
the British imperial government are.
There is a large and growing mass
of liberal opinion in England when
is sympathetic to the American point
of view. But the British Empire
as such can maintain itself only, IL
at all, by suppressing the rise Oh
democratic ideals in the Orient.
1t is for this reason that We see
in the newspapers articles of Brit.
ish inspiration speaking on behalf
of the Japanese alliance. 1t is ar
gued in the first place that this al
lance need not be at all inimical TO
the United States. In the second
place it is suggested that the alliance
be made a %tripartite agreement 10

All of this argument, say the ex-
perts, is specious. An alliance be,

The daughter of the daughter of
Keturah hath cousins, for / and
Keturah we have other grandchil-
dren. But they live in other cities,
so that they see each other only in
the good old summertime.
Now 1t came to pass on a day that
the daughter of the daughter of Ke-
turah and her little cousin, even the
small son of my son, they played
together, and for a time all went
very happily. And so did it nearly
all the time.
But on this day they had played
for a time when there arose a
mighty wall from the son of my son.
And when their mothers entered,
behold, the daughter of the daugh-
ter Of Keturah had all the play
things, and she held them high
above the head of her little cousin.
And when Keturah and the wife
o. my son inquired concerning the
trouble, and the little lad made loud
lamentation, the daughter of the
daughter of Keturah spake with
great consciousness of virtue. And
she said: I am teaching my little
cousin to be unselfish.
That is one way to do it, and the

inevitably work against the United
States in the Far East, whatever its
stated terms. The proposed trlpar-
tite agreement would merely nave
the effect of tying the n OF n
American government. 1t is prop
able, however. that this latter propo-
sition need not be taken seriously
because it is practically certain that
the United States senate would not
ratify any such tripartite agreement.
Likewise the Anglo-Japanese Al
lance can be prevented by frmness
on the part of the United states.
Great Britain may want it for
reason stated above. but she does
not want it badly enough to risk a
serious break with the United States
over it. 1t is probable that the jap
anese know that they can u on
British support in the conference on
this and other points, just so long as
that support does not ALLEVIATE the
United States. In a word the Amer
lean government has the physical
and financial power to enforce lts
point of view, if only it is not out
talked, as it was at Versailles.

way in which it hath been done from
the days of. Eve down, albeit Ke-
turah knoweth not how to do it in
that way.
And 1 smiled much at the way In
which the daughter of the daughter
Of Keturah taught her cousin to be
unselfsh, and 1 hoped that that
method of instruction would not be-
come too popular.
Nevertheless, there is something
t be said for it.
When my friends who have auto
mobiles take me driving, and 1 own
more cars than any other man in
town, then do I comfort myself, and
say,
1 am not wholly to be censured for
thus cultivating good graces in the
lives of my neighbors. Too easily
might they grow aristocratick, and
proud of their privilege.
l am a most virtuous man in help
ing them to cultivate their generous
sentiments. They live the better and
enjoy life the more by reason of the
sharing of their good things, and I
will assist them in the .distrit 5ion. I
am teaching my neighbors to un-
selfish.

An analysis of dust found in the
vacuum sweeper in a public library
showed the following materials: Bits
of hair, green wool, white wool, cot
ton fibers, wings of dead flies. grains
of sand, wood, paper, string, cellu-
loid, pieces of finger nails. particles
of metals and tiny bits of leather.
The analysis also showed that
colon bacilli or germs of typhoid
fever, d~issentery and intestinal trou-
bles existed in great quantities in
these dust particles.
Dust from the street is made up
of more filthy materials. In the par
ticles of street dust are found fine
bits of horse manure, dried spit,
sand and leather.
Street dust, if not directly the
cause of tuberculosis, does irritate
the lungs and this renders them sus-
ceptible to the attacks of the germs
which cause the white plague.
When the throat feels irritated
from inhaling dust particles a mild
mouth wash should be used as a
gargle to clean out all dust particles
that have not already entered the
lungs.

Five times as many are killed and injured each year as
die from natural causes, says the Aetna Life Insurance Com
panv. 1t SAYS twenty three are accidentally injured in the.
United States every minute. That's a total or 100000
accidental injuries a year, meaning that one in every nine
of us is the victim of our own or someone else's carelessness
yearly.

moro than a college education or a legacy.

The Need Of Youth
(I/l

cold men for counsel, and young men for war;
That is the proverb we've heard overlong;
But youth is aweary of suffering for
The blunders of old men whose counsel is wrong.
For old M n fettered by heaviest chains
OF precedent mouIdy, tradition outworn,
And when, through their counsel, the war-monarch felsh'
BY young and not old men, the burden is borne.
The old men debate at the conference board.
The old men declare that the world shall disarm,
That nations no more shall resort to the sword,
That peace shall envelop the city and farm;
And then-then they barter and haggle and trade
And log-roll and daily as old men will do,
And play the old game by which conflicts are made,
For old men are slow to learn ways that are new.
The old men do we'll Sthe light of their years;
They strive for the right as they see 1t, but still
Their minds are obsessed by old doubtings and fears,
By ancient suspicious that palsy the will.
"Od men for counsel"-but young men should sit .
Beside them in making the World of Tomorrow,
Or all-of the old mems ripe wisdom and wit
May lead but to misery, bloodshed and sorrow.
The old men are honest, the old men are kind,
And some of them still have the spirit of youth.
But age is too cautious. too prone to be blind
And blinking and dazed in the glare of the Truth
So the old men will tenporiZe, timid of soul,
Half frightened at reaching the peace that they seek.
And re- shall not quite come to our ultimate goal
Till the young men in counsel shall fearlessly speak!
