ally improving. Italy having signed a
trade agreement with Czecho-Slovakia
ard following the recent commercial
agreements between England and Rus

from Washington denote the possibility
of America modifying her relations
with Russia.
Advices from the interior, especially
from Texas, tell of better inquiry for
spots from Europe and American mills
with offerings light and values tending
higher.
New York reports a revival in the
demand for cotton goods, particularly
for some descriptions at higher prices,

The campaign for so percent reduc-

still being carried on energetically in
nearly all sections Of the cotton region

After the holidays this feature Of the

Boston, March 24.-Dr. Tehyi Shles
of the New York bureau of mbor and
trade counsellor of the Chinese repup-
lie. in an address before the Harvard
club last night, advocated a union De-
tween the United States and China TO
render impotent Japan's menace 10 'he
peace of the world.
DIR. SHES asserted that "Japan's mem
acc" was based on "her worship OF the
M.kado and militarism, and or her
lack of moral force"
He proposed that China's undevelope1
resources be reclaimed with the help
of the United States and that an embaf-
GO be placed on the nation, that they
may not be able to fight, for in modern
warfare Japan must have coal, lron'
copper, all of which she must get from
China.
"In contact with Americas pep me
said "they are convinced that they no
longer can play the part OF whining

Cardinal Gibbons retained TO the

tendency of our women TO become more
like men and less womanly. Woman

could not seek another one. That has

greatly impressed Cardinal Gibbons
during the last years of his life.
This power Of the press is incalcul-
