A conference on colonial affairs
has just been held in Toxic, Japan.
The report has been given out that
japan will give up the Shantung
peninsula as soon as suitable arrange
ments can be made by China to take
care Of the section. Siberia also will
be left free by Japan. This means
that the aggressive policy of expan-
sion is to be abandoned. Such ac-
ton on the part of Japan would do
much to restore confidence. The
problem Of a country of small nat
ural resources and an increasing pop
ulation, however, would still exist.

VIOLATES GRAIN STANDARDS
ACT

Findings Of the Secretary Of Agri-
culture recently issued disclose a
violation of section 5 of the United
States Grain Standards Act on the
part Of FRANKIE Grain Co., Milwaukee,
Wis. This company had a contract
with an eastern dealer for No. 2
White corn. A carload which had
been inspected as No. 6 Mixed, was
invoiced to the dealer as No. corn,
The secretary found that the FRANKIE
Grain Co., had, by means of an in
voice and correspondence, represent
ed to the receiver that the corn was
of a better grade than that shown
by the official inspection certificate.

The papers of the week have been
giving much space to the recent
speech of Col. Harvey, made at the
Pilgrim celebration. He took occa-
sion to make it clear that the United
States would have nothing to do with
the League of Nations. His speech
was made up of the usual vigorous
expressions for which the new am
bassador to England is noted. Some
phrases were certainly not very dip
lomatic and will not give the Eng
lish people very high opinion of the
United States and her part in the
World War.

The German government has re-
Gently shown signs of taking more
stringent measures to diminish the
amount Of drinking in the country.
A warning has been given that al
cohoic liquors are injuring the pop
ulation and are a means of waste
that cannot be allowed now that
Germany must meet her reparation
bill. Thus the heavy indemnity may
prove blessing in disguise, if it
changes the habits of a people who
have been large consumers of beer
and other liquors.

The problem of Silesia continues
to disturb the peace of Europe and
seems to threaten a division between
England and France. Poland has al
ways found a friend in France. The
relation of friendship between the
two countries goes far back to the
time when France was kingdom
and the two royal families were con-
nected by marriage. Now France
wishes to prevent Germany from
getting that part of Silesia that is
rich in iron. 1t so happens that the
mining section is inhabited largely by
Poles.

The Pope has made an appeal to
the people of Ireland to stop the
policy of terrorism which has been
prevailing so long. Attention is
called to the fact that it will not be
likely to win the object desired and
is degrading to the religious and
moral life of the people. High
church officials in ireland are using
their influence in the same direction.
Catholicism is mighty force in ire
land, and if it cannot restrain the
population, nothing can except the
cruel force of English armies.

Japanese General Staff Holds
Whip Hand in Imperial Power

It is the General staff that formu-

Saghalien and in Siberia. 1t is the
General Star that really directs the
various forms of propaganda, military,
economic and political, that result in
sporadic revolutions and tear the dis
organized Government of China TO
pieces.
1t Is the Japanese General Staff that
applies the screws TO the people in
Siberia, East Mongolia, Manchuria,
Corea and Shantung to compel them
to grant to the Mikado's Government
concessions" which virtually carry
complete control. Predictions of the
overthrow of the power of the mill

ambition for growth and expansion.
But the closest students of conditions
and events that are not disclosed to
the casual eye agree that the time Is
not yet and that the collapse OF mill
tary control will go hand in hand with
the remuneration of imperialism. which
Is the only form OF government the
Japanese know anything about.
The General staff and It's ever pres
ent war policies will take care OF any
effort to dispel the illusion of the pco-
pie that the Emperor himself Is de-
seconded direct from tho Deity. and to
question his authority or motives Is
the apotheosis OF sacrilese, II Is from

flaunts the slogan that no sacrifice Is
too big for a son or daughter of Nip

whom. as said. the military party ex-
erciscs complete and almost exclusive

thority over the policies OF Japan Is
practically vested in the military

The Minister of War. instead of being
the master OF the General STAFF. is its
servant. 1t says to him, You provide
US with the recruits. war material and
supplies. and we will decide what to
do with all of these things 1t is not
for you TO say
That is precisely what the Cen
eral Staff, with the consent OF the En-
peror told Premier Hara's Cabinet a
few weeks ago when the wisdom OF
deferring 10 universal sentiment re-
garding the military activities of the
Government in Shantung and Siberia
was broached. In other words. the
General STAFF told the Government to
mind it's own business. which II did
not consider to be of a military char
acter"
1t may appear unreasonable to the
Western mind to assert the power OF
the General STAFF TO dictate the condi-

equally within the province OF the
General STAFF TO bring about the fall OF

military man OF supreme rank is
eligible for the post of Secretary OF

equal rank for Minister OF the Navy.

walk of life. but those OF the army and

Edward r. (Eddie) Hughes testi.
fed that his Wall Street account
with Allan A. Ryan & Co. jumped
from $1,000 in 1918 to s1O5, 200 tho
following year, after he had retired
as Inspector in the Police Depart.
ment and established his private de.
tective agency.
Hughes Hasy on &24,5OO. !
Hughes's agency account showed
that in little more than one year he
had drawn out so4,500 in checks to
himself. and he stated he could not
recall or explain what was done with
the money.
Hughes admitted long and init.
mate acquaintance with Police Com.
missioner Enright, but denied that
the profitable business he had es.
tablished was due to police favors
at the hands of Enright. He took
two trips to Havana with Enright,
one year ago. Hughes purchased
the Thomas Fortune Ryan estate az
Suffern. The stock transaction rec.
ords OF Allan A. Ryan G. Co. did not
reveal that Hughes's ventures in
finance were highly profitable.
James Audltore. wealthy contract-
ing stevedore. testified that when
Hughes was police captain he had
asked the witness to pay 5000 for the
promotion of policeman TO a plain
clothes job. Hughes denied all of
Auditore's charges made on Monday
when the stevedore testified he had set
the former inspector up in business
after Hughes had represented that
Commissioner Enright was to have a
half interest In the detective agency.
Passing the lie back and forth, Audi.
tore and Hughes denied completely
and in detail each others ailcgations.
They made the session lively. Each
told OF making little personal gifts to
the other.
Questioned regarding the amounts
he received for his services in the
3. Il. n. strike in 1919 Hughes said
his check stubs were at his Office. and
he was asked to produce them to-day,
when he will be recalled.

Gladys. She lived at home with herr

but in fact she was out flying around
most of the time. (Johnny, get off the

Her mother would say: "Gladys, II
you don't quit this flying around and
stay home a little more you'll wish
you had. Mark your mothers words.
But Gladys would sniff and say
Mother, you're an old fogy. It's been

pigeon you've forgotten all about the
wild needs of youth. Youth comes to

young giant lifted until his muscles
cracked. Jack and Janet boosted
hard. The fat lady made a despairing
effort to climb. And slowly, slowly,
and then with sudden jerk, up she
went on Wooden Elephants back.

brains. He got jack--one that was
used in lifting heavy circus trucks

time until he was on his feet. Then
the circus fat lady was ready for her
