THAT even after being told to carry
out the sentence he hesitated and

must let the man remain in the

that he would be instructed when
to go after the prisoner and release
him Bryant states that the negro
was handcufed to a saplin as per
the court S order, one hand being
secured by the handcuh, which
was linked to a sapling near a
dead horse, and he returned in an
hour and a half and released the
prisoner. Monday was a raw day
and a number of persons went to
the place and saw the man while he
was undergoing this unusual pun

the negro and built a fire near e.

as possible,
The circumstance has called forth
a world of talk and not a little crl-

for time there were rumors thai
a delegation would wait on the

modified and the prisoner released. |
There were conflicting rumors,
however, as to the truth of the re-

A Possible Cause Of War

A good example of the kind of controversies that
lead is to be in connection with the present
discussion of japanese participation the proposed dis
armament conference.
There many persons in Japan, some of them OF
high prominence and large influence, who think that
Japan has right take the position of leadership for
all the peoples of Asia In accordance with that
policy Japan has already taken possession of Furmosa
of Saghalen of Korea, of part of Manchura of kiau
Chow and of German islands in the Pacific. And it is
the belief of prominent Japanese that Japan has the
right to claim and matter of national interest ought
to claim exceptional rights in China.
As a matter of fart, these claims not based
upon rights all, but they based upon the sincere
belief of japanese men of high intelligence to the
national interests
Aud on the other hand is the belief of statesmen
of equal intelligence in the United States and in other
countries that their national would permit
Japan to become dominant in China to establish her
position the dominant leader of eastern Asia And
that belief is also matter of national policy, and it is
not matter of international right.
1t is to be hoped that way will be found to
reconcile the beliefs of the Japanese government
which may may not be the beliefs of the Japanese
imperaliss-with the beliefs of those who favor equal
opportunities for all nations China but the point
here made is that if Japan persists in her policy of
aggressive expansion, and if other nations persist in
their opposition to that policy there is no way of set
Element of such conflict except by
And it should be remembered that in the case of
many the actual clash of arms has come with
firm belief both sides that the other would moi
actually fight for its beliefs.
Thus il may be seen that even at the present time
world issue is being brought to decision in Japan
For if japan enters the disarmament conference good
faith with the United States, the British Canadian Aus.
tralian empire, France and Italy it undoubtedly
the remuneration of the mperiastic policy in eastern
Asia. For the logical result of disarmament would be
to deprive Japan of the instruments necessary to i'm.
perial aggression.
Otherwise if Japan refuses to enter the disarma-
ment conference, insists upon imperiaisc reserva-
TONS her purpose will be revealed TO the world as
the Prussan policy when the German government
refused to accept similar propositions when presented by
the government of Russia.

The Cost of War

According to figures recently prepared from the
records of the treasury department of the United
States the of past present and future for this
nation in the year 1920 nearly four billion dollars
payers went for or preparations for
There is to question the accuracy of these
figures but it should be remembered that large part
of this huge represents the extravaganza and waste
of rather than the cost of military insurance of
tional interests.
1t has been said that is the most extravagant
process in human affairs and has also been said that
unpreparedness is more wasteful of national wealth
than itself.
Whatever degree Of truth there may be in these
maxims it is undoubtedly true that nation that goes
into unprepared must pay much for its mill
ary activities than ii would have paid if reasonable
state of preparation had been maintained 1t has been
claimed by reputable historians that in certain
adequate preparations for would have averted
altogether, far less than what actually
spent in
Undoubtedly also large part of the cost of Amer

rather than to military necessities. This of
