Life's New Year

no way surprising. Yet the obligation
is the same in both cases, for in both
it is question of being loyal to duty,
sensitive to the promptings of what
is best in human nature. If time is
short the wise thing is, not, as the Ro-
man poet suggested, to use it reck-
lessly and to the utmost in mere en-
joyment, but to build it into the fu-
ture self which is being realized with
the passage of each day. Life thus
used is not transitory, but rather an
eternal possession, something of which
man cannot be deprived. And that.
of course, is the moral of New Years
day. 1t is an old moral, and yet ever
new-new every morning. Indeed,
practically the whole of religion, as
applied to daily life, is summed up
In it. For religion. even more than
culture, Is ''the study of perfection, -
and it speaks of, and was meant to
further, the progress from imperfec-
tiOn to perfection.
He who has been "made perfect in
q short time" has, as has been seen,
fulfilled a long time" "And an un-
spotted life is old age" On the other
hand. the man who dies in wickedness
dies in his youth even though he live
far beyond the scriptural term. Time.
therefore, has very little to do with
the fundamental things of life.

If health was favor which only the rich

The rich would live. The poor would die.
The miser who was caught in his

INHERITED FROM TEUTONs.

The boisterOus cOnvivialities which
formerly prevailed at New Years are
said to have had their origin in the
Scandinavian and Teutonic tribes,
among whom a festival was celebrated
in honor of certain gods. One famous
Teuton hero is reported to have pro.
vided the most extravagant orgies.
His guests ate bacon and drank beer
and mead in vast quantities, and the
diet does not appear to have disa.
greed with them. Mead was of un-
certain composition, but was most
likely a thick, sweet, intoxicating bev.
erage, resembling in consistency the
wines of ancient Greece.

China's delegation stepped forward
again on Wednesday with formal plea
to the Far Eastern committee for
the abrOgation of the treaties grow
Ing out of the twenty-one demands
Of Japan in 1915, which China says
she was forced to accept. By these
treaties Japan retains her hold on
Shantung and Manchuria. The Jap
aneSe delegates quickly and sharply
objected to the Chinese proposal and
the committee adjourned sine die.
Meanwhile the negotiations between
the Japanese and Chinese outside the
conference are continuing, the latter
putting forward a plan by which Chi
nese bankers propose to purchase from
Japan the ownership and control of
the Shantung railroad-the nub of. the
whole controversy over that province.
1t was said the japanese had so far
receded from their original claims for
retention of half ownership that they
were now willing to give up the road.
with certain reservations concerning
the methods and security for payment,
and also preferential rights of invest
ment. These rights might result in
giving the japanese actual control of
the management, but China realizes
that she cannot get all she asks.
The members of the conference evil
IDENTIFY feel that the best they can do
for China now is to adopt new 'bill
of rights" for her which will enable
her to organize a stable functioning
government, and that to such govern
ment may be left many of the coun-
try's problems and troubles.
To further complicate the Chinese
problem came from the soviet govern
ment of Russia a protest against dis
cussion of the Chinese Eastern rail-
way by the conference. The road,
which Is of immense strategic and
economic importance to Russia, China
and japan, was built by Russia and
legally speaking belongs to Russia.
For several years it has been managed

Pacific Peace Treaty Signed and

Is Announced.
CHINA PROBLEM is HARDER
Irish Pact Before British Parliament

War Between Chile and
Peru Threatend Over

BY EDWARD w, PIcKARD

CTEADILY and sanely the Washing
- ton conference is performing the
great task which President Harding
set for it. Such was the progress
made last week that it seemed likely
the major problems would be solved
before the holidays and that the con-
ference would adjourn, leaving details
to be settled by experts and certain of
the questions to be handled by future
conferences.
The way was cleared effectively by
the quadruple agreement for stabiliza
ton of peace in the Pacific. This, in
the form of a treaty, was signed on
Tuesday by the delegates of the four
powers and now awaits formal ratifi-
cation by the legislative bodies of
those nations. That it will be ratified
in Great Britain, France and Japan is
beyond doubt, and there are few who
think that the American senate will
not also accept it. Senator Borah of
course has announced his opposition
to the treaty, and Senators Reed and
LaFollette stand with him. They pro-
fess to find in it's second article COM
mitments similar to those in Article
10 of the League of Nations covenant,
and even worse than the latter. So
far no one else worth mentioning has
discovered the terrible danger in Ar
ticle 2. Those who approve of the
treaty-and they appear to be decid-
edly in the majority both in the SEN
ate and in the country generally
agree with Premier Takahashi of
Japan, who says the pact is 'the
grandest contribution to the cause of
peace ever recorded in history"
There were rumors in Washington
that former President Wilson was ad-
vising the Democratic senators to
fight the treaty, but more reliable re-
ports were to the effect that he had
urged them not to commit themselves
until the conference had completed its
work and the pact could be studied
In It's relations to the other agreements
reached. OF course Senator Under
wood, the Democratic leader in the
senate, cannot oppose the treaty for
he signed it as one of the delegates.
When President Harding will send it
in for ratification is not known. 1t
may not be until after the holiday
recess.
