DISARMAMENT
BY DIR. w. f. BARTON

he might have said:
at is for us, the living, to be de-
Gicated to the unfinished work which
they who fought have thus far so
nobly advanced.
1T is for us to be here dedicated
TO the great task remaining before
us-that from these honore dead
we take increased devotion to the
cause for which they gave the last
full measure of devotion; that we
here highly resolve that these dead
shall not have died in vain; that
these nations, under God, shall have
a new birth of freedom; and that
government Of the people, by the
people, for the people. shall moi per-
ism from the earth"
He would not have permitted the
conference to forget that theirs was
a heavy responsibility: He might
have said as he said to Congress in
December, 1862:
The dogmas of the quiet past
are inadequate to the stormy pres
cnt. The occasion is piled high with
difficulty and we must rise with the
occasion. AS our case is new, so
we must think anew and act new
We must disenthrall ourselves. and
then we shall save u countries.
We cannot escape history. We or
this conference shall be remembered
in spite Of ourselves.

Author of 1.-THE Sons of Abraham
Lincoln" etc.
We cannot be in any serious doubt
concerning the attitude of Abraham
Lincoln toward the essential prob
lens involved in the conference
| called for a reduction of world arm
aments. We can, with slight modii-
cation to fit this particular issue,
form from his own utterances some
thing not unlike what he might have
said.
FIRST, he would have said hat me
half the world-the peace-making
half-cannot safely disarm and leave
the other half-the b~elligerent half
armed to the teeth. He might
have said, much as he said in 1858:
IF we could first know where We
are. and whittier we are tend
ing. we could better judge
what to do and how to do it. We
are now past the third year since a
policy was initiated with the avowed
object and confident promise of put
ting an end to wac.
I'm my opinion. that object will
not be attained until we face the
issue and pass it. A house divided
against itself cannot stand The
governments of this world cannot
permanently endure half on a war
basis and half on a peace basis. l
do not expect the world to go to
ruin-I do not expect the house to
fall-but L do expect that it will
&C ase to be divided. 1t will become
all one thing or all the other.
EITHER the opponents of war will
prevent its recurrence. and will
place it where the public mind will
rest in the belief that it is in course
cs ultimate extinction, or the advo-
Gates of armament viii! push it for
ward till all the world shall be in
arms"
He might set forth in unmistak-
able terms Americas W love of
peace, and freedom from militaristic
designs. He might say that America
alone, hows ever p-eace-ioving, cannot
soIve this problem. He might say, as
he said in the closing paragraph OF
his first inaugural address:
"In your hands. and not in mine. is
the momentous issue of world
PEACE or world-war. This govern
ment will not assail you. You can
have no conflict in which we are
concerned without yourselves being
the aggressors. l am loath to close.
We are not enemies but friends. We
must not he enemies"
He would surely have contemplate
| ed with heartfelt sadness the ten
million graves in Europe, in which
number America has a relatively
small but nobly honored share. and

1.-The japanese are manifestng
more and more a clear tendency to
Interpret the special position of ia
nan in China in the sense /.
that would TO some extent establish
a control over the foreign
affairs of China" the Russian m
bassador in Tokyo later reported TO
his government.
ION the other hand" he continued,
the Japanese do not attach great
IMPORTANCE to it's recognition of n
principle of the open door . :.
II is therefore quite possible that at
some future time there may arise in
this connection misunderstanding be-
tween Japan and the United states.

again confirmed today in ~conversa-
ton with me hat in the negotiations
by Viscount Ishii the question at
issue is not some special concession
to Japan in these or other parts or
China. but Japan's special position
in China as a whole"
Concluding. the Russian ambassa-
dor said:
81 gain the impression from the
| foreign minister that he is conscious
| of the possibility Of misunderstood
lngs also in the future, but is of the
| opinion that in such a case Japan
| would have better means at her dis
posal for carrying into effect her in
corporations than the United
States"
The United States government is
unalterably opposed to such preten-
tions on the part of Japan; China Is
determined to oppose them to the
bitter end.
The Interpretation of this agree
ment-the crux of the whole show

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-The

Japan virtually lays claim to domin-

This agreement, signed al WASH

Japan's position in China but to the
whole Far Eastern question.
According to former Secretary of
state Robert Lansing, the agreement
was made ~ allay a mutual feeling
of suspicion" on the part of the peo-
pie of Japan and America with re-
gsrd to the motives CO the W coun-
tries in China.
The agreement was through an *
change of notes between Secretary
Lansing and Viscount Ishii. stating
that territorial ~rropinquity creates
special relations between countries.
and especially the government OF
the United States recognizes that
Japan has special interests in China
particularly in the part to which her
possessions are contiguous"

tage over them in money and men.
A nation which loses in q war most
of it's young men and most OF It's
money can scarcely gain any prize
that will repay it; for it takes
young men and money to exploit
the prize and hold it.
The British empire was built up
by a series of successful wars, but
the British government doubtless
perceives that the British Empire
can now best be preserved by keep
ing out of future wars n letting
it's rivals fight. Japan made herself
what she is by fighting first China
and then Russia. Furthermore, the
japanese government still has faith
that it can gain new advantages by
new wars, and this faith is more
justified in the case of Japan than
it would be in that of any other
nation. This is the simple and prac-
teal reason why Japan stands out
as the most militaristic nation Of
the world today.
If japan had to fight the United
States or any other western power,
military experts agree that it would
be a defensive naval war upon the
part oil Japan. The western power
would be seeking to check Japan's
exploitation Of other Asiatic coun-
tries. Japan would have but 10
prevent a successful blockade. If
she did this her business interests
would have established their right
t q exploit the greater part of Asia.
She might make, an immense gain
by war without a heavy loss of men
or money. There is probably no
other nation of which this is true.

Even the most expert of d%ieticians
can formulate but few rules as to
the wise choice of foods. The wisest
Psychologist can not depend alto
gether on his knowledge of food
values, while to the layman, the
problem is so complicated as to OBJ
lige him to rely mainly on his w
instincts.
Animals, except when domesticat-
ed, depend altogether on instinct.
Civilization has so blunted mans in
stinct as regards the selecting of
foods hat it is often faulty, yet d.
etieians say that mans food instincts
are far keener if he obeys the !
OF eati-g slowly.
In choosing foods it is difficult to
distinguish absolutely between what
are good and bad foods because
there is no line of division. About
all that it is possible to say is that
some foods are better than others.
remembering that it is usually more
important to be satisfied, even If the
foods are not ideal" than to be I'M
satisfied with what in the abstract
seems ideal" foods.
Among the best foods for most
people are fruits. potatoes. nuts cir
well chewed), milk-both sweet and
sour-and vegetables. Among the
worst foods are putrefactive cheeses,
sweetbreads, liver, kidneys, high"
game or poultry.
\ close study, Of course, will show
some faults as well as some virtues
in almost any food and vice versa.
The best way for the ordinary man
and woman to do in choosing foods
is to eat as much as possible of the
better and as little as possible of the
worse without attempting TO draw a
hard and fast line.
Salt, pepper. spices, in fact all hot
condiments should be used in spar
ing quantities, as they serve TO dul
the sense of taste and the instinct
for selecting good Gods.
= great cause of i'll health is found
in the overuse of sugar, especially In
concentrated forms, such as candy.
People of sedentary habits-that is,
those who live a life of practical in
activity should be especially eau
tious about consuming too much OF
sweet foods. Sugar has a hish food
value and is readily utilized for COM
bustion in the body. If eaten be-
tween meals it is likely to increase
the calories or heat units above the
amount necessary and lead to over
nourishment.
In foods the axiom What is one
mans meat is another's poison IS
often peculiarly applicable. As for
instance, some people find that IA

reason usually is that they do not
eat ripe bananas. The ignorant pub
