out Of the war as long as possible.
On January 81, 1917, when it was
apparent that Germany meant to force
the United States to fight, the Japa-
nese government sought promise from
Great Britain to support in the
peace conference Japan's claims in
regard to the disposal of Ger
many's rights in Shantung and her
island possessions in the Pacific, north
of the equator. The British govern
ment replied favorably on February
16. France. Russia and 1talf gave simi-

Russia conditioned their assent on
Japan's promising to secure China s
adherence to the Entente cause.
Japan, with ironical gravity, agreed
to undertake that task.

trainers scored a point when wan
ishing canary" act was rehearsed in
the committee room of the House of
Commons. In the presence Of the mem
bers of the investigating committee
the conjurer made the bird vanish"
by finging it into the air. He denied
that the velocity at which the bird
travelled injured it's heart. At the end
of the flight the canary chirped as if
nothing had happened.
The performer said he had done the
trick for thirty years, and although he
had often had trouble with the S.P.CA.
he had never used more than three
canaries. Other animal trainers made
their pets perform for the members.
One of the most entertaining acts wit
messed by the M. P's was that of a
we'll known dog, who is said to have
the most realistic drunken gait in the
world. The owner said that dogs were
naturally initiative and that he had
never resorted to compulsion in teach
ing his pet to stagger.

Women in Burmah Smoke
Big Cigars and Cheroots
PARIS, Aug. 25.

PARIS, Aug. 25.
Remark has been made upon the un-
wonted spectacle of young women
smoking cigarettes while riding upon
the roofs Of omnibues albeit they are
not "busses runnn' from the Bank to
Mandalay' Also in Paris. we are told,
there is not restaurant nor hotel in
which women, French as we'll as for
eign, are not seen openly smoking. At
all of which people who are faithful
to old ideas, especially the adherents
of the League Against the Abuse of
Tobacco, wax most indignant.
But what do they do in Burmah,
which "Masque de Fer" in LIE Figaro
confidently proclaims the most de-
lightful land in all the world,
Kipling, already cited, tells us Of the
loveliest of all Burmah girls "a-smokin'
of q whackin' white cheroot," and the
custom is all but universal among her
sisters ION the road to Mandalay."
There, says "Masque de Fer" all
women smoke cigars and cheroots, and
smoke necessarily.

is, 1915, the Chinese government re-
quested, for the second time, partial
evacuation Of the Shantung territory
held by Japan. Toxic countered two
days later by submitting the Twenty
one Demands. In the frst of these
Picking was required "to give full con-
sent to all matters upon which the
Japanese government may hereafter
agree with the German government re-
lating to the disposition of ali rights,

many, by virtue of treaties or other

if China did not yield. A pistol was
held at Yuan. Shih-Kai's head. He
signed release to Japan. But after
ward. when China had become a bel
ligerent and they obtained representa-
ton at the peace conference, she re-
pudiated,a promise extorted under du-
ress and refused to sign the Versailles
Treaty because it confirmed Japan's
appropriation of German rights in
Shantung.
The other demands were also in the
nature of a hold-up. Toxic would not
allow them to be published and issued a
summary for foreign consumption in
which eleven of the twenty-one were
suppressed. A revised version was
finally presented to China on May T.,

ritorial propinquity creates special
relation between countries, and con-
sequently the government Of the
United States recognizes that Japan
has special interests in China, par
ticularly in the part to which her
possessions are contiguous.
"The territorial sovereignty of
China, nevertheless, remains unim-

while geographical position gives
Japan such special interests they
have no desire to discriminate against
the trade of other nations or to dis
regard the commercial rights here
tofore granted by China in treaties
with other powers. The governments
of the United States and Japan deny
that they have any purpose to in
fringe in any way the independence
or territorial integrity Of China, and
they declare, furthermore, that they
always adhere to the principle of the
so-called open door, or equal oppor-
tunity for commerce and industry in
China.
Moreover, they mutually declare
that they are opposed to the acquisi-
ton by any government Of any spe-
cial rights or privileges that would
affect the independence or territorial

deny to subjects or citizens Of any
country the full enjoyment Of equal
opportunity in the commerce and in

questioned in the investigation.
Wild Elephant Chases
Actress Out of Window
One witness told of a panic stricken
elephant who ran amuck behind the
scenes. up two flights of stairs and
into the leading lady's dressing room,
frightening her into a leap out of
the window into taxi-cab. The ele-
plant, according to the chorus girls
description, was in a frenzy, lashing
about and tearing to pieces the furni-
ture in the dressing room, from which
ne had to be hauled by ropes She
affirmed the belief that he had been
stampeded by hot irons.
In defense of the elephants trainer
the suggestion was made that in ex-
IRENE cases one could hope to make
no impression on the tough epidermis
of an elephant without using some
sharply pointed instrument.
Strings and wires, the same witness
declared, had been fastened to the
arms and paws of monkeys and jerked
by persons concealed behind the
scenes. making it appear to the spec
tators that an orchestra of trained
apes was Stimulating the rhythmical
motions of musicians. The monkeys
lay completely exhausted, bound hand
and foot, for an hour after the per-
formance, she said.
The mechanical device by which
bears were taught to spring from
their cage to the floor was described.
Chains grappled the bears about the
tanks, the witness said. These, passed
through bolts, were drawn so that the
bears were forced out of the cage.

questions, says in his book, "Japan's
Foreign Policies:
"No more distressing series of
documents has ever been published
that the agreements between the
powers in 1917 in regard to Shan
tung. The Allies in Europe wanted
China's assistance. China was will
ing to join them, and had already
in 1914 and 1915 offered to do so,
but Japan had objected. To bring
a willing China into the circle of
belligerents the Allies bribed Japan
by a promise of Shantung and half
Of the South Sea Islands. To allow
China to do something she wanted
to do the Allies gave Japan whole
province of China"
President Wilson claimed that he
knew nothing of these pledges to Japan
until he went to Paris. But they had
long before been published in Russia,
China, Great Britain and the United
States. He tried for time to prevent
the cession of Germany's rights in
Shantung to Japan, but yielded when
the Japanese delegates threatened to
leave the peace conference. The United
States Senate attached reservation to
the Versailles Treaty withholding ap
proval of the Shantung transaction. In
the separate peace treaty with Germany
the United States retains complete
freedom of action with regard to the
dispositions made at Versailles of
Germany's overseas possessions.
Seizure of Shantung Not
In Accord With Pledge
Japan's seizure of Shantung did not
accord with the spirit of her pledges
to maintain the territorial integrity
and political independence of China.
If the declarations in the Lansing
Ishii memorandum and in so many
other agreements had been lived up to
by the powers which signed them the
German rights in Shantung would have
been re-ceded at Paris to China. One
great step toward the political enfran-
chisement Of the Chinese Republic
would then have been taken. But
shantung remains in Japan's hands,
with only the vague promise of an
eventual return to China"
While America was still keeping out
of war" and the European Entente
powers had their backs turned fighting
Germany Premier Okuma proceeded to
supplement the Shantung seizure with
demands for larger political and eco
nomic control in China. On January

Peking she virtually sought political

of her recent record az a disturber of
the Far Eastern equilibrium.
Japan Pledged Often
To "Open Door, Policy
Japan has pledged support repeat
edly to the "open door" principle in
China. She accepted that doctrine, as
John Hay formulated it. Later in
the original Anglo-Japanese alliance
treaty of 1902, Japan and Great Brit
ain covenanted ito maintain the status
quo and general peace in the extreme
East, being, moreover specially inter
ested in maintaining the independence
and territorial integrity Of the empire
of Corea and in securing equal oppor-
tunities in these countries for the COM
merce and industry Of all nations"
In 1908 Japan went to war with Rus
STA, and, following her victory, annexed
Corea. In 1905, when the Anglo-Jap-
anese treaty was frst renewed, it rec
ognized Japan's paramount rights in
Corea, although there was a face-sav-
ing proviso that Japan's measures for
the guidance, control and protection of
Corea should not be inconsistent with
the principle of the "open door" A
more specific pledge as to China was
inserted in the second renewal, the two
governments declaring one of the OBJ
jects Of the treaty Is be: "The pres
ervation Of the common interests of all
powers in China by insuring the indie
pendence and integrity of the Chinese
Empire and the principle Of equal OPP
portuuities for the commerce and in
dustry of all nations in China"
In the second renewal, in 1911, Corea
was not mentioned, having been COM
plctely incorporated into Japan. But
the Chinese guaranty was retained un-
altered.
"Open Door" Again Offered in
Lanslng-Ishii Memorandum
Even in the much discussed lansing
Ishii memorandum Of 1917, in witch

territorial propinquity, the open door"
principle was again fully affirmed. The
