Way. to Detect Forgery.

For decision Of forgery and identi-
fication of handwriting it is best to
turn the writing upside down, accord
ing to tests: made by the psychology
department of the University of Wis
consin at the Universal exposition.
where 297 persons tested their ability
to discover forgery. Ten signatures
on two cards were submitted to visi-
tors, and one of the ten was false.
For discovering the false one, the in
verted card was found most helpful.
This condition is explained by the fact
that for fine judgments it is best to
pay attention only to the form of the
writing.

Japan's famous twenty-one demands
upon China made during the war and
later pressed upon her in 1915, resulting
in the Sino-Japanese agreement OF that
date. will become a matter for con-
ference consideration. The agreement
is said to contain secret military
clauses of nature which seriously
threaten the integrity of China
The Chinese delegation will stress
the importance of abrogating the agree
ment which. they say. was forced upon
China by intimidation. China has not
urged recently publication of all the
secret agreements because. IL is under
stood. the Powers have used their in
fluence against such a course. But the
alternative, the Chinese believe fs the
abrogation Of the Sino-Japanese agree
ment and the throwing of the twenty
one demands and their unpleasant

China's purpose was made clear by
her spokesman to-day. Reference was
made by him to the Chinese memoran-
dunn presented at Paris, which reads in

tary measures OF both belligerents had
been abandoned. the Chinese Govern
ment requested the withdrawal of Jap
anese troops from the interior of Shan
tung to Tsingtao. the removal of the
light railway from Lungkow to Cham
ten, and the taking down Of the special
telegraph wires attached to the Chinese
telegraph poles. Unable to persuade
the Japanese Government to accede
to their request. but seeing that the
exigencies which had compelled them
to declare the special military zone
had already ceased to exist, the Chinese
Government revoked their previous
declaration and duly notified the
British and Japanese Ministers on jan
uary 7. 1916, OF the fact of revocation.
To this communication the Japanese
Minister replied in a note OF January
Q. 1915, stating under instructions from
his Government that the act Of revoca-
ton was Improper, arbitrary betray-
ing in fact want of confidence In in
