JOHNSON WRONG IN HIS CONCLUSIONS,
 COLBY ANNOUNCES
California Senator Uninformed as to Course of Conversa- tions With Japan, Says
 Secretary of State
By Associated Prsss

Washington, January 2s.-The attack on the proposed agreement between Japan and the United States as to the status of Japanese in this country, which was made today by Senator Johnson of Cali fornia, was characterized by Secretary of State Cobly in statement tonight as proceeding "upon a quite erroneous as- sumption as to the trend and purport Of the conversations which have been going on" s
 The plan for an agreement is now be- by Senator Johnson on the basis of state- ments from authoritative sources" to mean the end.
 Tn his statement of reply tonight, Secretary Colby said that Senator John son was mot uninformed as to the course of these conversations and I am therefore surprised that he should feel called upon to throw himself into ia defensive posture against dangers which he describes, put which, am informed he has been assured do not present them selves.
 "The state department is charged with tho duty of pursuing these important discussions with sober regard to the facts," and this, it has sought to do with proper consideration for every interested point of view.
 Y am not speaking in any spirit Of criticism om Senator Johnson with whom I have long had the most agreeable and friendly relations but he must know. as member of the foreign relations com fittee of the senate that even if the fear to which. he glves expression. that the state department is moving too rapidly in the direction of a treaty, that a treaty can have no effect without it's submis- sion in due course to the Senate and, ,,pS7or tt,a lafter's practice it's minute by the Senator's com

'The world of finance deplores the
report that Viviani is seeking to Sc

dence of her friendship by not demand

Mahogany Also Employed for Floors in
Burma, According to Statement
of Missionary.

The people of Burma burn ebony as
firewood and use mahogany for floors,
but the dance music is abominable, ac-
cording to Rev. John Tilden Latta, re-
turned missionary.
The chief function Of music and the
weird dances i'll the land of the golden
peacock is to drive away the evil spir-
it's, and it is essential to Burmese
ideas of harmony" to have each in
strument toned in different key. But
it would be great place for the chill
dren.
Parrots can be bought for a nickel
and monkeys for quarter.
No word in the language Ias more
than one syllable. There are no de-
clensions or conjugations. The Bur
mese are short on words and hence
every word is pronounced in three
tones having a different meaning in
each. The average wage is 16 cents a
day. There are no violent deaths, the
plague and malaria being the only
scourges. The native doctors prescribe
on principle of opposites. If man
has rheumatism they feed him pow
dered deer's bones, and the remedy for
a sour stomach Is sugar.

HAVE THEIR TIME To FALL
Nature Has Made Provision for the
Parting Of the Leaves From
the Parent Tree.

One of the most beautifuf processes
In nature is the fall of the leaf. This
is not, as is commonly supposed,
brought about by the Indictment wealth
er of the autumn, says a well-knOwn
authority. For the underlying cause
one must look deeper.
Soon after the leaf appeared In the
spring preparations were being made
for its fall Across the base of the
stalk there grew inward partition
of special cells, known to bontanists
as the layer of separation" AS the
season advances these cells become
modified and weakened so that a
springy cushion is formed. Eventual
ly the mere weight of the leaf may
be sufficient to bring about the sever
ance of the organ which the tree no
longer requires.
Before the leaf actually falls 1t
surrenders all that it possesses in the
way of sugar and more complex stuffs.
This passes back into the tree to be
stored away in the stems.

u. S. SENDS MANDATE
NOTE TO FOUR NATIONS
Washington Government Demands
Rights in Peace Negotiations
Hughes Takes Firm Stand.

Washington, April Failure of
the United States TO ratify the treaty
of Versailles will not be allowed to
.detract from this country's right to
participate in peace settlements. Sec
iretary Hughes declared in notes adj
dressed to Great Britain, France, Italy
.and Japan.
The note to Japan differed from the
other three in that it referred more
rSpeclncally to the Japanese mandate
over the island Of zap. All four of
them reiterated the contention that
the United States had sacrificed no
rights in the peace settlements by rea-
son of it's unWilingness to join the
League of Nations.
The fact that the United States
mas not ratified the treaty of Yer
IsallleS," the notes said, cannot de-
tract from rights which the United
States had already acquired, and it is
hardly necessary to suggest that a
treaty to which the United States is
not party could not affect those
rights"
1t should be noted that the treaty of
versailles did not purport to secure to
Japan. it was pointed out, or to any
other nation, any right in the over
seas possessions Of Germany except
THAT an equal right should be secured
TO the United States.
Article 40 of the treaty provides,
AIR. Hughes said. that Germany re-
nounces in favor of the principal al
iiied and associated powers all her
rights and titles in her overseas pcs
Sessions. The secretary then empha-
sized that the United States is one of
the principal allied and associated
powers, and that the position of the
government of Japan could derive no
strength from the treaty of Versailles
or from any discussion preliminary to
1T.

And now Leach of the Leesburg
Commercial is telling us of another
project for a ship canal across Flor
ida. He says: ct provides for n canal
300 feet wide and 80 feet deep, follow
ing the Withlacoochee valley TO the
lakes of this region, leaving Lake
Griffin at the northeast shore and
striking Lakes Yale, Norris and
Beresford, thence across country to
the harbor at New Smyrna"
Such a canal will have to begin
eight or ten miles out in the gulf from
Port Inglis, and end two or three miles
out in the Atlantic opposite New
Smyrna, and it will have to be a tide
water canal from gulf to ocean, for
not even by draining our rivers and
lakes could enough water be obtained
along the route to float a big ship in
ditch 300 feet wide without letting
in the sea. The only practicable route
for a canal across Florida is that
from the Cumberland sound 70 the
gulf, proposed by Congressman CLARK

sent out a QUESTIONABLE to the news
paper men of the United States, ask
ing if, in their opinion, their readers
favored anti-tobacco Legislation. The
reply from 7S47 editors whose papers,
have a combined circulation of nearly
twenty-five million people, showed %
per cent in favor of tobacco. In addi-
ton to this is the opinion of Sir
James Camille, one of England's most
eminent surgeons, who says: tobacco
is the least harmful of the four social
poisons-tea, coffee, tobacco and alec
hol. Smoke the same amount of to-
bacco every day, and the heart VIII
become accustomed to the same
amount. If anyone smokes less one
day than another, he feels the same
effect as if he had smoked more. Three
days abstention from smoking would
entirely free the system from nico-
tine"

that awarded the flower presentation
duty to Holly He also tricked the
entire crowd. including the Orlando
Rotes, into voting for Ocala for the
state capital. While the fun was so
lively that few in the crowd could do
more than watch about half, Harry
arose and said that if the motion just
made had a second, he would put il to
vote.

Harry was driving at. but who wei
knew it was always safe to follow
Harry's lead, sang out, 81 second the
motion" Whereupon, Harry put the
motion, and it was carried unanimous
lly
Not until after this did anybody
have the presence of mind to ask
what the motion was. Some inquired
of Harry and he promptly replied:
"That it is the sense of this meeting
that Ocala is the best place for this

Being good sports, the boys accept.

A resolution approving national
disarmament, introduced in the Bap-
fist convention at Chattanooga, was
referred to a committee, but viii
probably pass the convention later in
it's session. 1t ought TO pass. Unless
the religious bodies of this country go
strongly on record against militarism
the war spirit viii become so firmly
entrenched that nothing on earth can
stop it. Already, it constitutes the
greatest menace that ever confronted
civilization. America. alone, of all
the great nations, is in position to
take the lead. Instead of doing so,
however, it is joining with the mill
tary oligarchies of Europe and lending
its aid and comfort to the indefinite
prolongation of the present state of
virtual war. 1t is the spirit of Ma
poleon against the spirit of Christ,
and it may as well be conceded that
the anniversary of Napoleon's death
was the occasion of greater demon
stration than the Prince of Peace has
received in a good many years.
Lakeland Telegram.
Don't become so agitated, Harry.
Perhaps Christ and Napoleon were
not so far apart as you think. Ma
poleon's wars were the outcome of
the French revolution, and were
caused by the Austrians, Prussians,
Russians and particularly the English
trying to smother the spirit of liberty
in France. If they had let France
alone, instead of trying to put the
people back under the reign of the
degenerate Bourbons. Napoleon would
never have been any more than a
corps commander. He was always
wise enough to strike first, but nearly
all of his wars were defensive. Ma.
poleon was very democratic; he was
a soldier among his soldiers, and {
citizen among his people; he gave
France good laws; he did more to es
tablish the spirit of liberty in Europe
than any other man, and he would
have made western Europe pros
lperous and happy, if it hadn't been fol
the combination of kings, slaves ant
traitors that united to pull him down
The main trouble about Napoleon il
America is that America obtains it
opinions of him from his mortal en-
envy, England.
