OUR STAND IN CHINA.

How closely the different countries are watching China and what Is going on there can be gathered from the objec- ton which has been raised by GresF Britain, Japan and Denmark to the erec- lion of wireless station in China be- cause it is an American enterprise. It is to be realized that 1t is a matter which not only is known to this govern nent but project that has the sppro- yal of 1t and has been undertaken under 9 contract with the Chinese govern ment
 As to the open door in China the pp- sition of this country has been firmly established for number Of years. It is only made the clearer and brought down Co date by the statement of Secretary Hughes to the Chinese minister in this country when he says:
 The government of the United States has never associated itself with any ar tanEsment which sought to establish any Special rights or privileges in China which would abridge the rights Of the Subjects or citizens of other friendly states, and I am happy to assure you that 1t Is the purpose of this government neither to participate nor to acquiesce n any arrangement which might purport to establish in favor of foreign interests any superiority of rights with respec, to commercial or economical development in designated regions of the territories of China or which might seek to create any such monopoly or preference as would exclude other nationals from un. dertaking any legitimate trade or indus try or from participating with the Chi nese government in any category of pub lie enterprise"

 The young man meekly entered the door with his rubbers in his hands. You see, mother he. said, gently, T wear my rubbers-just as you always ask me to do when you're not at the concert"
 "Ah," she said, but there was no re- ielting in the tone. What did I tell you when you brought Brownie home a year ago? Didn't I tell you that wed never have another? It is just impos- sible to keep house clean when a dog is trotting back and forth constantly with his big muddy feet

 And the roof of his mouth is all black, too," suggested their son, who had absentmindedly laid his rubbers or top of the evening newspaper on the table.
