4 FRENCH ORPHAN.

one day an American gentleman
came to France. His name was Mr..
Brown. He saw some poor little
orphans. and he decided to take three
OF them home. which he did. When
he reached his own country he was
glad and took the children home and
gave one OF them to Mrs. Brown and
two OF them to q lady named Mrs.
Smith. Both OF the ladies were
pleased with the children and always
were boastful, and the three little
orphans were always thankful to the
kind gentleman.

LIMITATIONS AND ALLIANCES.

The London Spectator. which is an
intelligent friend of the United States
and an intelligent promoter Of rea-
sonable British-American relations,
advises the British government to de-
nounce the Japanese British alliance
before the Washington conference on
limita ton of armament.
II advises warmly because IL is pos
sible before the conference to de-
nounce the treaty without giving
offense or creating a bad impression
and because it is impossible consis-
tently to enter the conference with
the alliance in effect and its future in
doubt.
Great Britain can inform Japan that
in view of the conference the alliance
is an embarrassing reservation. Alli-
ances have purposes and the purposes
are contrary TO the spirit which must
prevail in the Washington conference.
The conference assumes a wish 10
provide for peace. An alliance as
sumes wish 30 be prepared for war.
IL the British-Japanese alliance has
no such purpose it is not needed. II il
is needed then the United States cannot
afford to limit it's armament by agree
ment with other nations. 1t is not gen.

alliance Great Britain throws her
moral and possibly her physical fac
tors towards Japan. That is her priv
Gege, but in case it is done the United
States must consult its own interests
unbound by agreements which are not
accepted elsewhere as they would be
here.-Chicago Tribune.
