FOLLOWING THE TREATY.

None of the reasons advanced by Ger many for not meeting the demands of the allies is that it could not do so, that it did not have the means. Getting blood out of turnfy is not an easy task, but there is evidence in the hands of the allies to the effect that such claim upon the part of Germany is not correct. Germany has failed to keep its promises and yet it is known to have sizeahle gold supply. Thus when the allies demanded that that gold be not turned over to them, which would of course deprive Germany of the basis of its monetary system, but placed in branches of thG reichsbank in districts which are under allied control there was purpose. It is not even hinted that it was the purpose of the allies to seize that gold but they sought to have it shown that Germany had the money and by its refusal to pay it was Intentionally defaulting. This Twas established by it's own act as the result of the allied de- mand. and gave the allies the protec- ton they sought under the provisions of the treaty.
 According to the treaty if there is a default of reparations, it is provided that the repafations commission shall | notify the powers and recommend action and such action as is taken is not to be regarded by Germany as acts of war if that default has been voluntary. Thus as long as Germany could cling to the claim that 1t was physically impossi- ble for it to pay it would be in posi- tion to regard the measures taken by the powers as war acts. But with il established that Germany has the money and has refused payment, or even com tpliance with the allied demands, it be comes a case of voluntary default which eliminates any question regarding tn, moves made by the allies since undel such situation they are entitled to talk

CHILD WELFARE WORK.

Strong representations were made to the appropriations committee of the leg islature in behalf of an appropriation of Sl60.0G0 for the creation of a bureau for child welfare work. From all indica- t.ors those at the hearing were in favor of such work being done but it was question in whose hands 1t should be placed Those supporting the appro- priation believed that the work should be placed under a commissioner with a certain number of assistants calling for the above named sum. No specially con- vinclng reason was given why such work should not be placed under the direction of the state board of chari- ties. which existing body has indicated Through it's members that it can under lake and carry out the contemplated work, If given the authority, for much ess sum than the new bureau seeks. Much of it the expense could be met lnder Its present overhead but it would -enuire less than half the sum that is as,zed for the bureau and is confident 1at 1t can meet the situation.
 Both at this hearing and at others t has been brought out that the lack of Cllu FeIdre Vork EdS not JuEL been revealed by the commission report. For at least the last two sessions previous to the present ono the state board of Charities has sought funds and the au. lhoriiy to carry on the work. It did not get them and consequently couldn't dc what t desired.
 The question before the appropriation committee now Is whether to approve a larger appropriation for an untried hu. reau which seeks to take up work which The charities board was not permitted tc lackle. or whether in justice to the lat Ter and its experience in certain phase: nf the work it should not be delegated The authority 10 carry out the desired ,hiid welfare work and furnished suct a sum as it believes it will require.
 The need of having the unfortunat, children get proper attention and op rortunities cannot be questioned. If however. just as efficient administration Df the work can he accomplished unde Inc charities board as under the nev bureau It Is only natural that the com nittee and legislature should be incline,

rHE oNE MAN CARs.

In view of the conditions surrounding trolley transportation in the past and still continuing what must be re- garded as the only sensible course is that which has been adopted by the com mon council of Hartford in giving au- thority to the Connecticut company to continue to operate one man cars on the lines of that city for an indefinite period. In the capital city there is provision to the effect that cars of the trolley company must have two men operating them, motorRan and 8 con- ductor. When the time came that it was necessary to use one man cars in order to keep down expenses it was necessary to get consent from the council which fixed a time during which the privilege was extended.
 With that period of special privilege drawing to a close it was only the nat ural thing that it's extension should be sought and quite what was to be ex- pected when the council recognized the wisdom of not limiting such service. The one man cars have come as the result of conditions. They are render l ing service and keeping down expendi- lures not only -On lines WHICH were pre- viously not paying but on those where | just as efficient and more economic ser | vice is rendered as under the two man cars. As to accidents they do not fig ure in any more than the cars with 3 man at each end
 Trolley lines are being forced to mee' new conditions. They furnish servic' which the public cannot get along with out. They are the result of forced econ omic action through which it is possibl, to meet new and decidedly different con
 ditibns. They have served well to tid, i over a serious situation even thougi
 there are some features about them
 which are open to criticism in compari
 son with other cars But with cars be l ing manufactured for operation on rail | that resemble large automobile busse
 and driven by\ an automobile enginl there is no telling where the trolley car

ARnrsIra GrnRnIA.

IT we are to judge by developments in Georgia the people of that state are beginning to sit up and take notice not only of what has been recently brought to light in the way of peonage condi- tons but the marked disposition toward lawlessness which prevails throughout the commo2wealth with little or no ef- fort on the part of the authorities to cleck it
 The Williams case appears to have been Q revelation. It was certainly snough 10 arouse any state regardless of the hardshelled opposition to punishing the lavless that has been disclosed in Georgia Repeatedly has 1t been said in behalf of that state that the many lynchings which take place there, and the tolerant attitude thereto, do not reprezeht the sentiment of the best peo- pie. Inasmuch as little or nothing has been done to check them the only infer srco Is that the sentiment of the best ,eople carries no influence or else the lumber of them Is so small as to be in- Elective. Everything would indicate that he opinion of the best people does moi ibe with the sentiment of the majority
 And yet Georgia may not be entirely hopeless. Ground for that is furnished " the statement which '-~- been pub ished by Governor Dorsey in which ht points out the stain that rests on tht state because of the 135 cases whert negroes were lynched. held in peonage o subjected to unjust treatment by laEles gangs. and urges that steps be taken t give protection to life and check disorde hy establishing a state constabulary, t. authorize the governor to name com mission to investigate lynchings to gtv him power 10 remove officials who fai to discharge their duties and to plac upon each county where h fynchtng oc CUTS a financial penalty. The need of rescuing Georgia fror It's present conditions Is recognized b the governor. He has set forth certai remedies which ought to be of much hel md if there Is not a majority sentimen In that commonwealth against due re spects for the law and the rights of if dividuals there should be strong suppo1 given to the action urged by the stat executive.

RELIEVING DISTRESS.

How the United States is contributing 10 the relief of the distressed conditions n Europe is well shown in the reports vh.ch have just been made concerning the funds that have been forwarded 10 tn. starving orphans If cemrsl Europe and the helpless conditions exist 'ng h the near, where in both sections |: sease has been adding :o the frightfulness of the situation.
 According to the report of the fund that was raised under the direction of MT. Hoover there were secured $29, 900, poo of which New England contributed over two and a quarter million. This shows how the appeal for those suffering From lack of sufficient food and clothing was received by the people of the coun- ry who possessed the means of help tn bring relief. even though 1t came aftse many other appeals had been made md each generously responded to.
 The same is true of the helping hand hat has been extended to these in the rear east who have been rendered home ess and starving through the treatment hey have received at the bands of nnur: lerous perseo1tnrs. In this direction here vas sent during the past ysa1

funds and provisions to the total of over $51,o00, ,ooe, including nearly s15,oeo, 900 worth of -four collected by the Hoover relief commission, while there were sup plies of medicine and merchandise to the value of over $2,soo.oooj contributed through the American Red Cross
 The service has, been for those who required 1t. Those administering the relief have not attempted to play favor ties. They have been engaged in the work of relieving humanity and they have made the most of their means to accomplish the purpose. It was in this section of the world that certain na- tions were anxious that we should ac- cept a mandate. That didn't appeal to us but when the chance came to relieve suffering and distress our dollars were readily forthcoming.

1n his article published in recent issue of the Far East, Mir. Kin Ishi- kawa discusses the modern tendency of Japanese painting. According to the critic the Japanese paiAting has been more and more drifting away from the native characteristics and becoming blended with the style of the Occident- al fine art. Modern Japanese painters are not satisfied with following the old conventional scheme which hnduly efn-
 phasized the mere technical refinement
Norwich bulletin., 1921-04-29

in which Japanese art has particular ly excelled. The new artists are be- ginning ito think more with their heads than merely to draw with their hands,"
 The chief influence which has sway ed Japanese fine art has been the ost-Impressionist movement in Europe, which was early accepted by Hasfimoto Gaho, the first Japanese artist who revolted from the conven- tions. A group of young artists, vel coming the new influence, organized the National Art Study Association, and devoted themselves to the per meation of the spirit of new tendency. This school has been making great efforts to bring their works to a high public estimation. Their creative zeal has brought forth some works of high merit. but most of them do not go further thar mere copying or imitat- ing the Western painting.
 The constant restlessness and search for something new is not only limif s6 to>the above mentioned groups. Virtl ally all painters Of Japan are now changeful and do not remain falthfu to any school or ideal for any length of timei The underlying causes foi this unrest may be attributed to thu temper of the eagerness to depart iron the conventions and to assimilate new l tendencies of the Western art.
 Such a state of affairs is inevitable MT. lshikawa acknowledges because il the realm Of art as in that of reasol there are no international barriers tNor is the effort to assimilate westeri
 ideals of art into Japanese ideals to b,
 lamented, as many Occidental con
 noisseurs seem to feel. because art, too
 like other cultures, grows only througl
 fertilization. Only what is to b cautioned, the critic concludes, Is tha to go too far in imitation is t0 .iis

 originality, which are the soul of fin
