later the boy was struck and knocked
from the bridge. Driscoll uttered a
warning shout as he plunged after. the
lad. but the engineer did not hear him.
Several minutes elapsed before Henry
realized that Driscoll was not aboard.
In the mean time passengers in the
four coaches had seen the plunge and
were trying to attract the engineers
attention.
When the train backed down to the
point where Driscoil and his charge
were held captives by the steep walls
of the creek men and women aided in
carrying the injured boy to the bag
gage car, where he was was given first
aid by physicians on board.
Witnesses of the rescue said Driscoll
dived four times before he found AL
eXander, who was unconscious when
ne struck the water and sank at once.
On the fourth plunge Driscoll reached
the lad, whose overcoat had become
caught on a projecting timber. Alex
ander was brought to the surface with
difficulty and his rescuer was exhaust

safety on the stringpiece.
Passengers endeavored to learn

to give it or to reveal his name, which
was furnished later by others.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-The mis-
leading character of some of the com
ments on the four-power treaty be-
tween the United States, Great Britain.
France and Japan, if they are not cor
rected, is likely to create confusion in
the mind of the citizen who accents
without examination dogmatic state
ments upon this subject.
The engagement of the United States
under this treaty. it is alleged, is not
merely to maintain peace with japan
by mutual respect for the rights of the
two countries in their lnsular pos
sessions, but in an exceptional manner
binds the United States, in case of an
attack upon Japan by any other coun-
try, to send troops and ships for her
support. No such engagement, on the
other hand, binds Japan with refer
ence to an attack upon the United
States.
How Conclusion Is Reached
This astonishing conclusion is based
on an argument that may be stated in
the following manner:
Article II of the treaty provides for
Joint action in case "the rights of
the powers in their insular possessions
and insular dominions in the Pacific
Ocean are threatened with agrees
sion, but does not apply to any other
territory
The Japanese Empire consists of in
sular possessions in the Pacific Ocean.
Therefore the Japanese Empire has
the benefit of the provisions of Article
Ii, which cannot be claimed for the
home territory of any other signatory
of the treaty.
No one, | presume, would dispute the
logical perfection of this syllogism, as
suming the correctness of the prem
ises.
The first premise, which defines and
limits the scope of Article II, cannot
be disputed. Nor can it be denied that
the homeland OF the Japanese Empire
consists of an archipelago in the Pacific
Ocean.
The defects of the argument for the
conclusion that the United States is
under obligation by the treaty to de-
fend Japan with troops and ships if
threatened by the aggressive action of
any power are, however, evident. The

WASHINGTON, Dec. 21 (By
The Associated Press).-Sugges-
ton was made in British circles
of the armament conference to-
day that it might be necessary for
President Harding to call another
conference to deal with that por-
tion of the agreement on naval
ratio which prohibits the further
construction of warships.
The British declared that, as
an example, British shipbuilding
companies have dockyards in
other countries. Under liberal
construction of the ratio agree
ment there would be nothing to
prevent the utilization of these
dockyards to build warships. The
present conference, it was said,
cannot prevent this in the absence
Of delegates from all of the coun-
tries where shipbuilding plants

trict of Columbia paid in internal revenue taxes $18,645,053. This was larger sum contributed to the na- tional government, to be expended for national purposes, than the total paid by any one of fifteen of the following states: Arkansas, Alabama, Mississippi, North Dakota South Da- kota, Florida, Montana, Utah, New Hampshire, Arizona, Idaho, Vermont, Wyoming, Nevada and New Mexico.
 In that fiscal year the district of Columbia paid more internal revenue taxes than the aggregate paid by the following five states. Wyoming, Yer mont, New Mexico, Nevada and North Dakota.
 Personal income taxes collected in the district of Columbia in 1918 amounted to $S,669,100. This ex- ceeded the total collected in each of 2S states of the union, and was larger sum than the combined income tax collected in Arizona, Idaho, Yer mont, Utah and Wyoming for that year. States which paid a smaller aggregate income tax than the dis. trict of Columbia were Alabama, Ari- zona, Arkansas, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Kansas, Ken lucky, Maine, Mississippi, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexi. co, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee Utah, Yer. mont, Virginia, West Virginia and Wyoming.
 Yet each of the states, that con. tributed less in personal income taxes to support the national govern ment has two senators and represen. tatives in congress.
 Under the present deplorable po- litical conditions in the district of Columbia the inhabitants must fight for the republic, must pay taxes to carry on the national government, but must see laws enacted to govern them without their consent, and taxes lev. led on them spent by an arbitrary municipal government without the people having a single voice in the whole matter.

APPEAL MADE FORPRIVILECE
 OF FRANCHISE
BY COL. WINFIELD JONES

WASHINGTON, Feb 5.-(Special Correspondence).- is not generally known outside of Washington, the nations capital that the district of Columbia is the only capital city of any nation in the world without rep resentative government in some form, It is not generally known that the district of Columbia is the only com munity in the United States, or in it's foreign possessions, that is com pletely and absolutely disfranchised.
 The district of Columbia, with near. ly 50O,000 people, is a larger politi- cal entity than seven of the states Idaho, New Mexico, Vermont, Ari. zona, Delaware, Wyoming and Ne vada New Hampshire and Utah are little larger in population than the district of Columbia. The district has larger population now than that possessed by every new state in the union at the time of it's admission, save only Oklahoma.
 The people in the district of Colum. bia have no representation in con. gress, no voice in the election of any of their municipal officers, cannot vote for a president or vice presi, dent, unless they hold citizenship in one of the states. The district is the most completely disfranchised com munity under the American flag.
 In 1874 the district had a territor. ial form of government. It was then small in population and weak in resources. This territorial form oi government, in an evil hour, was sur rendered to congress. The surren der of this American birthright for "a mess of pottage" has been bit terly regretted ever since. Alaska the Philippines, Hawaii, and Porto Rico, lands of alien blood, are al lowed representation in congress.
 There is no more patriotic com munity in the United States than the district of Columbia. In the Civil Spanish-American and World wal Washingtonians did their full share in defending the flag. The district supplied nearly 18,OOO men to the armed forces, army, navy and marine corps, when the country called in her hour of need. Nearly half of these were volunteers. Many were wound ed and permanently crippled; many sleep their last sleep under the pop py field of France. The district sup piled more men to the United States armed forces in the World war thar any one of seven of the states-Ne vada, Delaware, Arizona, New Mexico Wyoming, Vermont, and New Hamp shire. During the World war every call of the Red Cross, Y. M. c. A. Knights of Columbus, and other re lief organizations was over-subscribed The district over-subscribed it's lib erty bond quotas $300O0,O0O.
