TWO governments have announced

agreements reached by the Washing

of Doctor Sun in America, departed
from Washington after announcing
that the government Of southern China
would fight any plan for the settle
ment of China's affairs that is accept
ed by the official Chinese delegation
to the conference. For the time be-
ing, the latter case may be the more
important Of the two, but the time
will come when Russia's power and
interests in the Orient will have to be
taken into account.
T~chitcherin, soviet foreign minis
ter, says Russia's policies are now di-
rected only by economic interests, and
not by doctrines, and Russia is well
coming vociferously every indication
of the investment of foreign capital.
Premier Lenin is predicting that the
chase for gold viii lead to var be-

which had covered 1t on the way across

flag at the head of the coffin the
badge of the Legion of Honor con-
ferred by the French government, and
then came In President and Mrs. Hard
ing, Vice President Coolidge, Speaker
Gillett and Chief Justice Taft. Mrs.
Harding laid across the casket a wide
white ribbon, and on 1t the President
placed a wreath of red rOsebuds.
Wreaths from congress, the Supreme
court and the War and Navy depart
ments were added, and the honor
guard was left alone with the dead.
On the following day decorations and
wreaths from foreign nations and floral
designs from every State were brought
in.
On Armistice day the great ceremony
was carried out. The parade down
Pennsylvania venue was the most I'M
pressive ever seer In Washington.
From the capitol as far as the White
House, President Harding walked in
the ranks with generals, admirals,
practically every government official in
the city, veterans of the Civil war and
and every wal America has had since
then, and large detachments from the
army and navy. At the White House
President Harding and most of the
other civilians dropped out of the pro-
cession, and went to Arlington in mo-
tors. but General Pershing trudged on
afoot all the way with the body Of
his dead comrade-in-arms. The I'M
known was inferred in front of the
pavilion OF the National cemetery, with
every honor that could possibly be
paid him. The funeral address, deliv-
ered by President Harding, was re
plete with passages Of eloQuence and
pathos, and with expressions Of hope
fitness for the future peace of the
world. Much of it Is worth quoting;
for instance:
"On the Threshold Of eternity, many
a soldier, / can we'll believe, wondered
how his ebbing blood would color the
stream of human life, flowing on after
his sacrifice. His patriotism was none
less if he craved more than triumph
of country; rather, It was greater If
he hoped for a victory for all human
kind. Indeed, I revere that citizen
whose confidence in the righteousness
of his country inspired belief that
it's triumph is the victory Of humanity.
"This American soldier went forth
to battle with no hatred for any peo-
pie in the war, but hating war and
hating the purpose Of every war for
conquest. He cherished our national
rights, and abhorred the threat OF
armed domination; and in the mael-
| strom of destruction and suffering and
| death, he fred his shot for liberation
Of the captive conscience of the
world. In advancing toward his OBJ
jective was somewhere a thought Of
a world awakened and we are here to
testify undying gratitude and rever-
ence for that thought Of a wider free
DOM"

ELECTIONS held last week In vari-
IL Gus parts of the country were
highly pleasing to the Democrats,
though the most talked-of contest, in
New York city, really was not much
influenced by party politics. There
Mayor Hylan, Tammany candidate,
was reelected, having a tremendous
plurality over Curran, the coalition
candidate. Hylan stood for Scent
street car fare and for local self-gov-
eminent, with which the Republican
state assembly was trying to interfere.
In Kentucky the Democrats regained
control of the legislature; in Maryland
they increased their control; in Vir-
GINA they elected E. Lee Trimble for
governor and the entire state ticket.

General Hays was driven to ask for
protection. The President and cabi-
net decided that marines should be or
dered on that duty, and 1000 Of them
have been detailed to guard postal
stations, railway mail cars and mail
trucks, pending the organization of a
permanent armed guard as a branch
of the postal service. "There is no
length to which the department will
not go to prevent these mail robber-
ies," says Mr.. Hays.
THE assassination of Premier Hara
4 of Japan by a young political
crank was startling, and greatly
shocked the diplomats gathered In
Washington, but there was swift as
surance that the event would not
change the nations policies. The Sc
lection of a new cabinet was virtually
in the hands Of Marquis Saonji an6
Prince Yamagata, the elder statesmen
and it was understood the former
would take the Office Of premier for the
present.
