VIII the Pledge Be Kepts
To the Editor Of The Star:


The nine powers committee dealing
with the far eastern questions at the
arms conference has adopted resolu-
tions insuring respect for the terri
tortal integrity of China. This is
quite reassuring, but can it be known
kept? The matter Of giving pledges
relative to China's territorial integ-
rity sounds vaguely familiar. Nearly
quarter Of century ago John Hay,
when Secretary of State, succeeded
in making the various powers agree
in China and to respect the territorial
integrity of that country. Neither
was done. After many vain efforts to
set square deal" for China, this
country was forced. in 1917, by the
Lansing-Ishii agreement. to admit
to A cSina imam iaa % certain certain q spee,ai pee % intsr
ests" there. which must be considered
as extraordinary enough to free her
from an observance Of the open door"
policy.
The various nations seem to be sin
cere in their dealings at the present
conference, but when 1t appears that
they have given similar pledges to
the one Just executed and broken
them with alacrity, there is some
cause to wonder whether they are
motivated by idealistic or selfish aims.
Let US hope that they are really in
earnest In their efforts to help the
long suffering and much abused Chi
nese. II the north and south China
governments could only be co-or-
dinated and developed into q single
forceful political unit, there is not
much doubt but that that country
might forge to the front and emerge
from her present dormant state to
rise as rapidly as has Japan. which
was, less than seventy-ive years ago,

But when at the end of the long
day they reached the valley, and when
her father came innocently into the
garden and stood staring vaguely at
her for a mOment-for her visit and
the day of Alix's return had been kept
a secret-her first act was to burst
into tears. She chung to the fatherly

herself and told the sympathetically
watching Peter and Alix that she
didn't know what was the matter with
her. 1t was only to interrupt the words
with fresh tears.
Tears of joy, she told them, laugh
ing at the moisture in her fathers
eyes. She had a special joyous word
for Hong; she laughed and teased
and questioned Anne, when Anne and
Justin came back from an afternoon
concert in the city, with an interest
and enthusiasm most gratifying to
both.
After dinner she had her old place
on the arm of her fathers porch chair;
Alix, with Bucks smooth head in her
lap, sat on the porch step beside Pc
ter, and the lovers murmured from
the darkness of the hammock under
the shadow of the rose vine. 1t was
happy talk il the sweet evening cool
ness; everybody seemed harmonious
and in sympathy tonight.

Her father was conscious of a pang;
he had not even formed the thought
in his own mind that Cherry was I'M
happy. The child, he told himself, had
a good husband, a home and health,
and %undeyeloped within
herself. 1t was puzzling and painful

voice. A second later she had jumped
to her feet and vanished in the house.
Her father roamed the woods in
wretched misgivings, coming in at
lunch time to find her in her place,
smiling, but traces of tears about her
lovely eyes.
Nothing more was said for a day or
two, and then Cherry read aloud to
the family an affectionate letter in
which Martin said that everything
would be ready for her whenever sh-
came now.

The last day of March and of Cher

with it spring seemed to have come
on a rush of perfume and green beau

But you do look tagged and pale,

But she did not come in the morning,
none the less. She was tired in soul
and body and glad to let them spoil
her again, glad to rest and sleep In
the heavenly peace and quiet of the
old home.
Late in the afternoon, rested, fresh,
ruffles, she came down to join them.
They had settled themselves under

and Alix and Buck, the dog, all jumped
up to greet her. Cherry very quietly
subsidized into a wicker chair, listened
rather than talked, moved her lovely
eyes affectionately from n to an

fected. With the lovely background
of the forest, the shade of her thin
wide hat lightly shadowing her face,
with the dew of her long sleep and
recent bath enhancing the childish
purity of her skin, and with her blue
eyes full of content, Cherry was a
picture of exquisite youth and grace
and charm.
The evening was cooler, with sud
den wind and a promise of storm.
They grouped themselves about a fire

Martin and Cherry had done a year
ago. Cherry sat next her father, with

cheeks painted by the fire, played
with the dog and rallied Peter about

well, may have said something
like that" Peter growled, flushing.
Alix laughed exultRgly. q" tell you
/ loathe her !" he added.
Daddy, we have a lovely home! ~
Cherry said softly, her eyes moving
from the shabby books and the shah
by rugs to Alix's piano shining in the
gloom of the far corner. 1t was all
homelike and pleasant, and somehow
the atmosphere was newly inspiring
to her; she had felt that the talk at
dinner, the old eager controversy
about books and singers and politics
and science, was-well, not brilliant,
perhaps, but worth while. She was
beginning to think Peter extremely
clever and only Alix's quick tongue a
match for him. and to feel that her
father knew every book and had seen
every worthwhile play in the world.

Martin, whose deep dissatisfaction
with conditions at the Emmy Young

tered into a correspondence some
before relative to a position
at another mine that seemed better
to him, and instead of coming down
for a day or two at the time of Anne's
wedding, as Cherry had hoped he
might, wrote her hat the authorities
at the Red Creek plant had Jumped

his affairs at the Emmy Younger

home. Martin told his wife generous

Anne's marriage took place in mid

 The nomination of Miss Josephine Riley for the position of Town Clerk caused no surprise. It had been ex- pected that she would be named.

Concerted
 Movement
 On ax Cut

Washington, Oct. 17-A concerted to secure 8 substantial re- duction of the income taxes paid by persons with moderate incomes was upon today at a confer ence of the Democratic members of the Senate Finance committee.
 It was decided to press for the ac- ceptance of the proposal of Senator Walsh of Massachusetts for a reduc ton of the smaller income tax rate to two per cent. on incomes of $5,0O0 or less; per cent. on incomes from s5,Oo0 to $10,0O0; and per cent. on incomes from s1O,0OO to S15,O0O. The tax at present is per cent. on $4,000 or less per cent. above S40,000.
 Senator Walsh, who has embodied his proposal in an amendment to the pending tax bill, said he intended to fight hard for it's adoption by the Senate. A number of senators on both sides are understood to favor it.
