THERE'S JOY IN
LOVELY PLACES
President Sends Greetings to
Oldest EmpLOye of
The Star.

MARION, Ohio, Dec. 2o.-Replying to
Christmas greetings from Martin L. Mil
Ter, II, printer. the Stars oldest employe,
President Harding voices the opinion to

many years that There is even more
happiness in some of our humber pur-
suits than there is in assuming response
bility in high places"
The Presidents letter, written Dec. GO,
received today by Miller, begins with the
salutation:
My Dear Lew" and continues:
1t pleased me very much to have your
Christmas greetings. You may not
realize It but never a Christmas eve
comes but l have a kindly Thought or
YOU I recall the days when | made up
the Star pay roll myself and l have a
recollection that on the last pay before
Christmas there was always a slight re
membrane for you as a mark of ap-
probation Of the oldest empIoye on the
paper. You have been there 4 very long
time I remember you were on the star
whom ] began my connection with 1t In
1881. 1 think you were afterward EN-
ployed elsewhere for a while but finally
came back TO the Star and have remained
ever since.
81 sincerely hope that you are well and
enjoying your fun share Of happiness.
tank I can say TO you from experience
that there IS even more Of happiness In
some of our humber pursuits than there
is assuming responsibility IN high
places.
Happy New Year to you and Mrs.
Miller.
Very truly yours,

basador to the United States. are counted
likely to succeed. Unanimity of popular
sentiment, both in America and Japan,
/ is held to be the compelling motive back
of that most vital change of policy.

the contract into harmony with the first
Interpretation placed upon it by Presi-
dent Harding.
So far as can be learned the entire
suggestion for an agreed construction Of
the treaty terms so far as to exclude
Japan proper from the territorial guar
antees extended to other 1nsuler posses
sions and insular dominions IN the re-
gions of the Pacific ocean," comes from
the japanese.
There appears no basis whatever for
any intimatiou that Secretary Hughes
and other mem berS or the American del
egation initiated any steps to bring the
covenant into accord with President
Harding's view Of It's provisions. The
positive statement was made that the
United States had not presented any
such proposition.
Japans delegates objected to inclu-
sion Of her homeland at the very outset
OF the three cornered conversations over

Arthur 7. Balfour, head Of the British
delegation.

There is nothing official in the refer
ences to the probability the treaty will be
modified. Both Secretary Hughes and
Baron Shidehara decline to discuss the
nature, the scope, or the intent OF their
conversations. But, In other quarters it
is not denied the actual negotiations are
In progress and that there Is every

accompanied the signing of the treaty
itself-the American conditions with re-
spect to conclusion of an agreement with
Japan over the Island of zap and with

were to assume the latter form, it Is
thought, the President in transmitting
