have free use of zap as a cable sta
ton.
The Allied Supreme Council ignored
this stipulation later when it awarded
Zap to Japan along with the Marshall,
Caroline, Marianne and Pellew groups.
Mr.. Wilson had by that time retired to
his tent and left the United States with
no representative in the Council.
But he resented the fact that the
Council had acted without consulting
him and had presumed to give Japan a
title to zap in the name of all FIVE of
the Allied and associated powers. of
which the United States was clearly one.
Secretary Colby and Secretary
Hughes after him, wrote letters chal-
longing the validity of the ,ap ava rd
and of all other mandate awards to
which the consent of this country, one
of the trustees for the German over
seas possessions, had neither been
sought nor obtained France, Italy
and Great Britain admitted last
spring the irregularity of the Council q
action. Japan still held out She en-
gagged in direct negotiations with the
United States over Yap, and these we're
unconcluded when the conference met.
On December -, two days after the
signing of the four-power Pacific trea-
ty, an agreement between the United
States and Japan was made public 1t
will be put into treaty form and sub
mitted to the Senate along with the
conference treaties. In it the United
States consents to the administration
by Japan of the inundated islands north
Of the equator, subject to certain con-
Gitions. These are that the United
States shall have the benefit of the en-
gagements regarding mandatory ad-
ministration set forth in the covenant
of the League of Nations, including the
prohibition of fortihcation; that mis-
sionaries shall have certain specified
privileges; that vested American prop
New-York tribune., 1921-12-25

erty rights shall be respected; that the
treaties between Japan and the United
States shall apply to the mandated ISL
ands; that no notifications in the man
date are to be made without the con-
sent of the United States, and that
Japan shall report on her administra-
tlon to our government, as we'll as to
the League of Nations.
United States Obtains
Free Access to Island Of Zap
AS to zap, the United States OBJ
tains free access to the island. on a
footing of entire equality with japan
or anv other nation, in all that relates
to the landing and operation of the
existing Yap-Guam cable or of any
cable which may hereafter be laid by
the United States or its nationals.
This country and its nationals are to
have similar privileges with respect
to radio telegraphic service, and are to
enjoy various specified rights and ex-
emptions in connection with the opera
ton Of cables or radio communica-
tons
A treaty consenting to the admins
tration by Great Britain, Australia and
New Zealand of the inundated German
possessions in the Pacific south of the
equator will also be entered into. 1t
will be similar to the one with Japan,
but probably simpler, because there are
no troublesome complications like those
at zap to be dealt with.
A further agreement, supplementing
the four-power treaty and regulating
land fortihcation in the Pacific has
been reached. By it the existing status
is to be preserved, except in Australia,
New Zealand, Japan proper, Canada,
the mainland of the United States and
Hawaii. In this compact, it should be
noticed, clear distinction is drawn
between Japan and the japanese Sin
sular possessions" The United States

OF capital. ships by the nthree leading
naval powers, a ten-year cessation of
building and the acceptance of a new
ratio of comparative strength-five for
Great Britain, five for the United
States and three for Japan.
The ratio was worked out scientifi-
cally and withstood all criticism. The
tonnage basis for capital ships was
originally fixed at 100000 for Great
Britain, 900 for the United States
and 900 for Japan.
Japan's Retaining of
Mutsu Increases Figures
Japan's insistence on retaining the
Mutsu forced an increase in these fig
ures to $4,000, $4,000 and $4,000, re-

And in their light blue eyes is never

There are women magistrates. They

sign the death warrants with their own
hands, and when the parents of the

This ferocity is explained both by a
mental degeneracy and revolutionary
mysticism, for the women are the last

To their dreams, to their instincts
to their feverish activity, Bolshevism
has delivered Russia as an immense
prey. Its phraseology has powerfully
wrought upon the generous and pas
sionate spirit of the one, upon the de-
ranged nerves of the others.
Certain of these Communist women
have been great success. The most
striking example is that of La Kol-
lcntai.
The daughter of a general of the I'M
perial regime, great land owner, she
made herself from her youth notori-
ous for her revolutionary tendencies
Her intelligence is remarkable, her
education perfect. She speaks four
languages with equal huency. Very
pretty, armed with dangerous charm
she exerted over the workingmen
sway that came near fascination. A
consummate actress, she had her
dresses made by the great costumers
of Paris
After the revolution she married
in the Communist sense of the word
a simple sailor of the Baltic, whose
only attraction was his curled hair
and body able to stand all fatigue

heroic period of Bolshevism. Now her

likely to start trouble in this quarter of
the globe. In the almost negligible
event of aggressive action by an out
slider the four signatories promise to
confer as to the necessity of joint ac-
ton. Each is left free to act or not. But
the moral effect Of the pledge to confer
will be sufficient to warn off most in
truders.
By the four-power treaty the United
States agrees to respect the rights of
Japan and Great Britain in relation to
all their Pacific possessions. These pos
associated powers. Japan took the
inundated by the Allied Supreme Coun-
Gil without American approval. Supple
mentary agreements were therefore nee.
essary in order to regularize the Coun-
ellis awards.
Yap was long a bone of contention
between the United States and Japan.
The German overseas possessions were
ceded to the five principal Allied and
Associated powers. Japan took the
precaution to put in a claim for all
these in the Pacific, north of the equa-
tor before the United States entered
the war. Great Britain, France, Italy
and Russia consented to recognize this
claim at the peace conference. In re-
turn Japan engaged to support Great
Britain's claim on the German islands
in the Pacific, south Of the equator.
At Paris Mr.. Wilson was confronted
with these anticipatory secret ar
rangements. If he hadn't given host
ages on all sides, in his campaign for
the league covenant, ne might have
obtained some of the German north
Pacific islands, OF great value to the
United States because they lie on the
highway to the Philippines. But he
had handicapped himself too much for
such fight. He has testified, however,
that when the council of four was
discussing the distribution of the Pa
cihc islands under mandates he stipu-
lated that the United States should
