1t has been generally believed that
the Japanese Diet, or representative
body Of the people, would not support
the plan Of the ministry for a large
increase in the navy. A recent vote,
however, shows that the naval policy
is supported. This is not fully indi-
cative of the will of the people at
large, as the militaristic party con-
trolls the Diet. There is considera-
BILE unrest among the nations in re-
gard to Japan's future action, and no
one sees this distrust more than Ja-
pan herself. Some Of her leaders are
anxious about ii and wish to create
more favorable impression. It is
unquestionably true that Japan is be-
coming disliked.

Austria persists in her desire to
join with Germany and, in spite Of
the treaty with the Allies against 1t,
she proposes to carry through ref
erendum of the people. 1t is prob
ably that she intends to use such a
vote as an argument to induce the
Allies to relieve her of the limitation.
1t must be admitted that Austria has
been reduced to a condition that diff
fers greatly from her past and does
not hold out much promise for ma
tion Of resources or influence in the
future. Sometime such a union may
be granted, as there are many rea-
sons for it, but It can hardly come
for many years.

Washington.-That domestic con-
sumers of coal have been robbed
right and left" Is asserted by Senator
Atlee Pomerene in letter he has
written to the Citizens National Bank
OF Cincinnati. The Senator in this
letter handles the profiteering opera
tors without gloves. The bank had
written to him to protest against the
Calder bill for regulation Of the coal
industry as "step in the wrong d.
rectlon." The banks message also
said:
"While 1t applies only to coal, the
principle involved could be easily ex-
tended to other staple commodities. 1t
is a result Of the war spirit and. II
enacted, would go far to make per
manent tendency to regulate every
business"
Senator Pomerene in his reply says:
"Let this fact be understood; during
the last four years the public, and
particularly domestic consumers, have
been simply robbed right and left. OF
course, not all coal operators are to
blame, but some coal operators are to
blame. 1t was the result, no doubt. OF
the cupidity which seems to accom-
pany all conditions. The opportunity
was presented partly by lack Of trans
portation partly by operators break
ing their contracts and refusing to
sell under contract rates in order that
they might bave more spot coal part
ly by the creation Of feeling that
there was an undue scarcity Of coal,
and partly due to the fact that a lot
Of men rushed into coal business tenn
porarily, making a fortune In a short
while.
'"The public has judged operators
like lawyers are judged-by the worst
in the profession. These conditions
probably will not present themselves
again. but they may, and my judgment
Is that If the level-headed operators
and miners will join in the promotion
Of some legislation which will be just
to operators and miners, 1t will serve
a good purpose. What form this leg
islation should take, I am not prepared
to say now, but II seems to me that
IL this course were adopted 1t would
do more good and less harm than will
come by opposition to all legislation
upon the subject"

son, who In 1884 first published a tech
nical description OF this tree, and ap-
parently was the first distributor Of

the trees planted by Washington.

mer house, believed to have been plant
ed In 1874. 1t is the only exotic tree
on the grounds. The other is a soli-

east lawn. Apparently it sprang from
a seed from one of washington's gar
den cherry trees, dropped by a bird.
Many trees mentioned by Washing
ton as being planted by him are no
longer to be found there: but OF what
he did plant small forest remains, q
remarkable tribute to the painstaking
character Of his attention to the es-
tate. 1t Is interesting, and not with
out a touch Of sublimity, to behold
these splendid trees set forth by his
own hand. now casting shadows over
the lawns he trod, their life spanning
the history Of the nation.
The bowling green and its circle of
trees bespeak intimacy. The east and
west lawns are inspirational. The very
shapes Of the trees and their varied

The foreign minister of Germany,
Simons, threatens to resign his Office
because of the demands made by tn.
Allies as reparation. He has proved
himself an able man, perhaps the
most able man in a governmental po-
sition since the war. He has stated
the German side with strength and
ability, but refuses to agree to the
large indemnity demanded-fifty-fve
billions Of dollars. In recent meet
ing with the prime ministers Of the
other leading states Of Germany, his
position was endorsed, and 1t Is GER

nifty. In meeting to be held in Lon

COST OF PUBLISHING NEWS
PAPERS Is HIGHEST EVER;
ADVANCE GOES ON

Harrisburg, Pa. Feb. l0.-Newspa-
per publishing costs are at their
highest point to date and still are in
creasing, T. z. Williams. of Pittsburg,
President Of the Newspaper Publish
ers' Association, asserted at a meet
ing Of the Pennsylvania Associated
Dailies here Wednesday.
Under such conditions there was
no possibility of decreasing advertis-
ing rates, Mr.. Williams said. adding
that rates were too low before the
world var, and in recent years had
not increased in proportion TO pub
fishing costs. He gave figures tend
ing to show that publishers costs
had increased almost 200 per cent
In recent years and that advertising
rates had advanced less than half
that amount.
Mr.. williams contended that while
spot newsprint prices were soften
ing, the contract prices Of 5h cents a
pound was the highest in 25 years.
1T IL certain" he said. "that con-
tract ncwsprint prices will remain
permanently higher than before the
war. Advertisers who know news
print conditions are not asking for
decrease Of advertising rates, as they
know that at present rates their ad-
vertising space is the lowest-priced
commodity that they buy"

Switzerland is so jealous of her
neutral rights that she has refused to
allow the army raised by the League
of Nations to cross her territory. The
purpose Of this force is to preserve
order and see that a fair vote is
taken when the question comes to a
vote regarding wilma and its future
relation to Poland or Russia. Swiss
neutrality is as essential to the ex-
istence Of Switzerland as 1t was to
Belgium. She has enjoyed this right
since the downfall of Napoleon by the
Congress Of Vienna in 1915. In the
recent war Germany did not venture
to violate it. Austria would have
