States. Great Britain. Japan and
France.

Japan agree to conSign to the scrap
heap the Anglo-Japanese alliance.
long viewed with apprehension in
both America and Asia.
The provisions Of the agreement,
which is in the form of ten-y year
treaty, are confined to the region of
the Pacific ocean" Under them the
four powers are TO respect each others
island possessions and TO meet il con
sultation If 4 dispute arises or If the
rights of any of the four are threat
ened by any other power
Announcement of the treaty terms
was made at a plenary session OF the
arms conference by Senator Lodge,
of the American delegation, and was
followed by expressions of approval
by the plenipotentiaries Of Great Brit
ain, France, Japan, Italy, China. Bel
GUM, the Netherlands and Portugal.
To be binding on the United States
the treaty must be ratified by the
senate. several of whose members
withheld comment pending further
study of the text. Open war was
declared on it by some OF tn" IRE
conciliahlc group of the Versailles
treaty fight, hut Republican leaders
and some Democrats declare ratifica-
ton is certain.
The Signatures Of the representa-
tiyeS of the powers have not YET been
affixed to the document and there is
al il.;tlaation that they may be with
held until the question OF naval ratio
has been settled definitely.
The naval situation remains un-

The treaty agreement is expected
in itself 10 hasten q decision not only
on the naval ratio, but on all the
other issues before the arms confer
ence. The dele gates believe they are
over the top of the hill, and British
Spokesman went so far as to charac-
terize the session as practically the
breakup of the conference" so far as
major considerations are concerned.
In order, Rene Viviani, head of the
French delegation, and Arthur j. Bal
four, heading the British delegation,
and Prince Tokugawa, chief OF the
Japanese delegates, arose and gave
their assent to the new agreement.
They were followed by the chief dele
gates of the other powers represent
ed, who also expressed satisfaction
at the new arrangement.
Most interesting among these was
the declaration of Minister SEE, OF
China, who expressed great satisfac,
ton with the proposed treaty"
Now, while the actual perfection OF
the treaty goes forward, it is expect
ed that the naval armament and Chi
nese questions will speedily go on
toward settlement.

UNCLE WIGGIIIY AND THE

~ Howard r, Carl,


One day as Uncle Wiggily was
hopping along through the woods
and wondering how much longer 1t
would be before spring flew up
from the south, the gentleman rab-
bit passed a cave, or big hole in
the side of the hill. And just as he
reached it out rolled q wheel, and
next out came tumbling a big heap
of old, dried leaves. and then q
voice cried:
There she goes again!"
At first Uncle Wiggily was fright
ened, thinking perhaps this was
trick, of the old Fuzzy Fox or the
Woozie Wolf to trap him. But when
the bunny gentleman saw Mr.. Stub
tail, the kind and gentle father of
Neddie and Beckie, the children
bears, Uncle Wiggily smiled hap
PLY.
what is the matter Mr.. Stub
tail ?" asked Uncle Wiggily. why

cave, and tossing out bundles of
dried leaves"

as Helen left us. "'It is so unusual

"She loves clothes: and really I

AT WORK.

Conditions seem favorable at Santa Fe for the
accomplishment of much legislation of lasting value
during the two days of the session yet remaining.
The leadership of the republican party seems to
be bending every effort in last-hour attempt to
-4deem the republican platform pledges and to COM
ply with tho recommendations of the governor IN
his message to the legislature.
Most of the lobbyists have gone home. few
still remain who would render public service by
going home. But the lobbyist has greatly oosened
his grip In Santa Fe. His popularity has been con-
stantly on the wane the session has progressed
AT the same time the of responsibility to the
people on the part of legislators has constantly
grown. 1t is unque9tionaby true that things have
changed t-.& s
No longer do lobbyists hang over the chairs of
LEGISLATORS during sessions. The assurance and af
frontery of these gentlemen has gone. What they
accomplish il anything is done "out of court" The
situation is comforting
The republican leadership seemsbent upon doing
the peoples will in a considerable degree. The
democratic minority is doing nothing to block the
redemption Of republican pledges or the wishes of
the governor.
These remarks must not be construed as mean
ing that the Journal feels that the mine owners have
not been competently represented both in and out
of the egsla in their fight against the will of
the people. They have. We say this With emphasis.
With it ALL results are likely to come out of the
fight that has been made by those who are interest,"
ed in the public welfare.
