Woodrow Wilson's letter to Mr..
Tumulty. telling him how beau
tifuily everything had BEEN ar
ran9sd. In Shantunx Japan
was to use special police only
TO insure security for traffic.
Thsy were TO b used for no
other purpose. The. police force
would b composed Of Chinese
and japanese Instructors appoint

Mr.. Wilson's interesting letter
TO Mr.. Ttmulty. written in 1919.
also said. "In addition the SOW
ereiEn rights re-ceded to China
were to b unqualified. All Jap
anese troops remaining on the
peuinsula should be withdrawn at
the earliest possible time"
When you ask Japan what Ia
the earliest possib.e time. there
Is no answer.
The real answer would Be
sNEVER."
You rsslizs the pitiful condition
Of China when she asks the right

sending Of opium through foreign
postoffic{s. China is struggling to
get rid OF opium as we are trying
to yet rid Of whiskey. !.

How much power in silence, how
much waste In talk!
The best line from the corfer-
ence was written by Lauzanne:
"Chinese Loquacity and japanese
Silence" Every day, says Lau-
zanne, the Chinese have some new
and beautiful plan. "But Japan
has never anything to say
And when it is all over Japan,
with nothing to say, will have got
what she wants, China little or
nothing. Much power in silence.
Mr.. Arbuckle's testimony, tell
in9 of a party in his rooms that
ended in the death of Virginia
Rappe, filled many columns. The
essence of it all was in these few
words: "On another table there
was gin, orange juice and Scotch
WHISKEY."
Everybody drank, everybody
danced and one died.
Interesting picture of life under
prohibition.
Mrs. Cassidente, brought to court
because her five children were
hungry, dirty and neglected, re-
jects the suggestion of a surgical
operation to prevent more children,
saying: eff I have children it is
to the glory of God"
Another lady, head of a
mothers organization, attacks
the surgical suggestion, saying:
These things are all arranged
by Providence.
The suggestion of an opera
tion Is foolish brutality. But it
Is hardly fair to blame God for
what men and their civilization
do. It is not God that manu-
factures homes below the side
walk, the rooms without sunlight,
poisonous whiskey that breeds
poverty and crime, miserable
selfishness that swindles workers.
God provides sunshine, air,
and water free. Man arranges
It so that children cannot get
the sunshine.
