CONFERENCE AT WASHINGTON.

H. G. Wells, the great English writer
who is attending the Washington Con.
ference as correspondent for number
of the leading American Dailies comes
very soemnly to his task. He says this
Conference may be either "a Cardinal
event, or one of the last failures to staye
off disasters"
Mr.. Wells predicts great suffering
throughout the world this winter, which
will he thinks, parallel the catastrophe
of 1914. He speaks Of the 1914 event as
decay that spreads and spreads And
he thinks it will continue to spread and
civilization will become more and more
uncertain as long as nations are talking
of, and making for war instead of
peace
Mr.. Wells says: "Unless money can
be steadied and restored, our economic
and social life will go on disintegrating
and it can be restored only by a world
effort.
"But such a world effort to restore
business and prosperity is only possible
between governments sincerely at peace
and because of the failure of Nersai les
there is no such sincere peace. Every
where the governments, and notably
Japan and France, arm, amidst the
steady disintegration of the present sys-
tenn of things. They prepare for fresh
wars, wars which can have only one
end-an extension of the famine and
social collapse that have already en-
quilted Russia to the rest of the world"
Mr.. Wells first article to the press on
the threshold of the Conference bears a
sad note throughout and he seems to
doubt that any great world relief is to
be obtained. Yet he closes this first
letter with an optimistic forecast, "And
yet this Washington Conference may
prove TO be the nearest approach the
human will and intelligence has yet
made with a resolute grapple with fate
upon this planet. We cannot make our
selves wiser than we are, but in this
phase of universal danger, we can at
least school ourselves to the resolve to
be charitable and frank with one an.
other to the best of our ability to be
forgiving debtors, willing to retreat from |
hasty and impossible assumptions, seek
ing patience in hearing and generosity |
in action. High aims and personal hu-
mility may yet save mankind"

not penetrated by important steamship
lines. Within this isolated Pacific tri.
angle are the Marshall islands.
Before the war Sydney was reached
by steamer. a voyage Of more than
1900 miles. The only other method Of
egress was a steamer to POnape
which connected with q French line

mariners in the Pacific, the white
mans coming, as in the caSe Of his
adyent among the Eskimo and the
Indian, did not seem wholly beneficial.
In teaching them ways to live more
easily civilization robbed them of that
bOldneSS and adventure which made
them the hardest of the M~icrOneasian
peoples. Many of the young died of
tuberculosis.
Skillful and fearless n~avigatOrs, the
natives used b~read-tree wood TO make
sailing canoes In which they would
voyage for months. They devised
charts, made of sticks, showing the
of prevailing winds.
Ancestor worship was their predOmi-
nant religious sentiment. With petit
lions and gifts they worshiped the
departed whose spirits were supposed
to return to earth in certain palm
trees which they set off in o en-
closures. Birds and fishes sometimes
embodied these spirits, they believed,
and thus certain species became Ia
boo.
Homes of the natives were not pre-
tentiOus. Floors were raised above
the ground to escape the rats. n
matched roofs covered the combina-
ti0n house and storage room.
The two island groups are known as
the Ratak and Ralik chains. Their
entire area IS not more than 16O
square miles; their native population
before the war was $1,000, with fewer
than 800 foreigners. sThe seat Of Ger.

The salt industry in the neighbOr-

the widely known Chang-lu salt Is

Tientsin is important commercially In
many respects. 1t is a rice market,
and Siberia'S tea formerly was

I1enfSin, in the northeastern edge

To walk about Tientsin is to travel.

This panorama city has had a tenn

against the fanatic Boxers in 1900.
Since then the native city has been
known as Cheng-li. or Town without

were demolished during the siege. OF
the 0OO doughty foreigners more than
fifty were killed and many others
wounded before military aid came.
Tientsin was the scene of another
famous siege. that of the TAPPING
rebels in 1859. Followers Of Hung
Sin Tsuan, who had professed Chris

as the Heavenly King" marched to-
ward Picking. But the Waterloo Of the
'long haired rebels" sO-called because
they could not plat their queues and
thus signify loyalty to the Manchus,
came at Tientsin.

CENTER OF ITALY'S SOCIAL

Milan, chief city of the LOmbardy-
