probably would be in the negative.
In we'll informed quarters the in
crease in the value of the mark was
regarded as due merely to reports Of
Herr Rathenau's visit here, following
closely upon that of Hugo SHINES, Ger
man industrial magnate, which gave
ground for the assumption that Herr
SHINES. who was reported to have
come to plough the ground had left
with some assurances that Herr Rath

involving chiefly the fear of going home
after apparently having accepted the
dietation of nation which is regard
ed by some of the Japanese people as
the one big nation in the world which
has consistently stood during the last
few years in the path of what they re-
gard as Japan's attaining her national
aspirations.
If they can go home with the mes
sage to their people that they
have entered into an agreement which
will save them lot of taxes and
at the same time they have clipped
the claws Of the American menace in
the Far East by obtaining an agree
ment from this country not to con-
struct fortifcations-and the naval
bases which those forsifcations will
protcct--then they believe that the oa-
position party could not make very
much headway against them in popular
sentiment.
Curious Reversal of History
The fear of the Japanese people
about this American menace in the Far
East has been stimulated by many of
their politicians for some years, and
has grown to be such formidable con-
viction of the Japanese that the dele
CATION here has noS the slightest inten-
ton of overlooking it.
The American decision to demand. in
return for the American agreement de-
sired by Japan not to fortify further
the Philippines and Guam, that the
Japanese cease Certifying the import
ant little Pescadores Islands is, it was
pointed out by diplomats tonight, a
curious reversal of history ten years
ago.
In 1911 Charles NJ. Schwab went to
China with Alexander Johnston, vice
president of the Bethlehem Steel Com
pany. They discussed with some Chi
nese officials. including the then Secre-
tary of the Navy in China, Lin Kwaa
island of Nancy. in this group. which
belonged to China, and to construct
naval base there. At the time the
Americans said there would be no diff
cultv in arranging the financing of the
project, and loan of 25,000,000 taels
was discussed.
China's Project Blocl-ed
Immediately there was tremendous
interest in Toxic. China had no navy,
and it was feared that the real desire
Of these Americans was not to do a
piece of profitable business, but to
establish under the cover of doing it
for the Chinese a powerful American
naval base on the flank of Formosa,
commanding this important trade route
and extending the American menace
northward from the Philippines.
Perhaps due to Japanese opposition,
for Toxic opposed the thing with ali
possible force. both at Peking and
Washington, the project never mate
rialized, but the old diplomats here, who
were keenly interested in TIE row at
the time. are commenting that lust ten
years later the fertilization of the Pes
cadores is again being discussed this
time the United States opposing forti-
fcation.
Information here is that Japan has
been quietly fortifying some of these
islands within the last few years, which
the military experts of this government
do not particularly relish in view of
the closeness of the islands to the
Philippines.

The initiative was taken by the club

URGES NATIONAL SCHOOL FOR POLICE
WOMEN

1t has been our plan to have all
women and girls arrested for various
law violations brought to one pre-
cinct. They are not registered and
their names do not go down in the
criminal books. Instead, we point
the way to a better life, and endeav-
or to turn a prospective criminal into
a respected citizen.
There Is one big advantage in a
woman dealing with a woman. A girl
cannot vamp a policewoman.
1t is much harder to readjust
girl than it is boy. She is usually
a sex offender, while the average bov
becomes petty criminal, through
stealing, robbing or just deviltry.
In a years time 120 girls were
brought before our department. They
were talked to, given new friends,
new positions and q new view of life.
Our records now show that 113 Of
these girls have made good.
other cities are showing their in
tercst in the success Of the work in
Washington. We have had requests
from police forces, from coast to
coast, for trained policew0men.
That certainty points to need for
national training station for police
