their congregations words Of praise for

his loss. At ST. Mathews church Rev.
Rush w. D. Smith said special prayers
for the rcpose OF the soul ard Rev.
Mary l.. Hadley, pastor of the First
Univcrsalist church, contributed the
following in verse:
Silent the sounding bell!
The silence seems to tell
OF sorrows tears.
Silent the quiet street
Where oft his willing feet
On brands trod
To bring to men the sweet
Message of God.
Silent the voice so clear
That told to listening ear
Gods truth divine;
That spoke with glad good cheer,
And caused to shine
On troubled souls
The sun. like light
At eventide.
Yet, just beyond our ken.
We think, ring heavens bells
In cadence clear,
And grand the chorus swells;
His listening ear
Hears from the judge Of men
The verdict to his soul most dear
Well done, my son.

CHINA NEEDS CONSORTIUM
IN POLITICS, SAYS HAYASHI

Hestates to Take Mandate Alone.

that the rest of the world will act as a
unit in dealing with her. To begin with
let the Powers have enough of self
denial not to give themselves up to vain
disputes among themselves, and the
next positive step in that direction is
the international consortium as shown
by that in financial affairs.
China has not yet accepted the con-
sortium agreement. and personally l do
not believe that she would ever accept
the idea of general International con-
troll which some one has brought for
ward as a possible solution of the gen.
eral Chinese problem. International
control. moreover. must be backed by
armed force. if necessary. and what
Powers in these days would be disposed
to send armies TO China?
would the Powers give Japan the
mandate to do SO? If they would Japan
will certainly hesitate to accept this
dangerous mission. or the danger of
such an undertaking Japan has learned
enough
DR.. Hayashi declared that the conten-
ton by some critics that Japan secretly
desired a weak and disorganized China
was falsity. An orderly China was
mercially, he insisted adding that he
believed Japan would subscribe to any
rational plan to obtain 1t. But Japan.
he said, would look with extreme dis
favor on any group of western Powers
obtaining dominancy in China to the

By the side OF the gun carriage walked

WASHINGTON, Nov. (Associated
Press) In a talk on the train just be-
fore its arrival in Washington to-day
DIR. Kiroku Hayashi, general counsellor
to the japanese Ministry Of Foreign Af-
fairs and chief adviser to the conference
delegation. said
''He would be bold, indeed, who would
venture to offer a solution Of the great
problem of China, but there are two
thoughts that occur to me in that con-
nection."
His first suggestion was that the
Powers should agree to cease their RI
valry in China and act in concert on all
matters pertaining to that country. and
his second was that the Powers should
make up their minds to be patient-im-
mensely patient--with China.
There is an old Chinese proverb, -
DIR. Hayashi said, which declares that
China must control foreigners by utiliz-
ing foreigners. or, to translate the ex-
preston literally otherwise. she must
master the barbarans with the help of
the barbarians That policy she follows
with skill and cleverness, just as Turkey
has In the past played England against
Russia and England against Germany,
and as that play led to the ruin of Tur-
key so will the Powers rivalry in China
lead to the collapse of that country If
not corrected in time.
THE salvation of China, therefore
lies in bringing her to the realization

pose and essential object of the Wash

be raised in the discussion, Mr.. Cham
