Hold Americans
 Under Suspicion

Tokio. June 16.-Fear by the Jap anese police in Tollio that certain Americans in Tokio are here first for business, but secondly for investig,a- uOn and observance of military acti- vities of the Japanese caused an 'sur- gent meeting'' of the Metropolitan Police Bureau in Tokio recently
 According to the Tokio Asahi (Sun):
 Some of the Americans who have come to this country recently for bielneS-i, touring and sightseeing (aI- leEed) are busily engaged investieat- ing the industrial and military condi- tons of Japan. They are acting with the knowledge of all Americans in Japan.
 ''The attention of the authorities has been called to the very large number of Americans who visited Japan last year, all of them entrust- ed with special missions Some of these Americans established them selves in China and Korea and have been active in using wireless appar- atuS 10 keep in constant touch with each other. The authorities have de- tected these activities through the activity of Americans in places conti- GuouS to Japan"
 The AsahIS report continues stat ing that greater surveillance over the A1nerlcans in TOkio must be exer- clsed by the police. The report of the TOXIC newspaper was confirmed as substantially correct by MT. Hare Secretary of the Metropolitan Police department

THE FAVORITE CHILD?

CFrom the Evening World)
 A Boston firm that speculated on the sugar boom is reported to have come a disastrous cropper owing to the simple fact that. instead of real ;zing expectations by rising to 40 cents a pound. the price of raw sugar tumbled to less than f cents a pound.
 A bank that loaned this firm money on sugar as collateral is said to have finally disposed of the latter at a loss approximating $3,OOO,OO0. while other banks holding large amounts of similar collateral are getting to- gether to determine the safest way out.
 Yet people who want to borrow money to build houses on the most tangible of all securities come up against either cold shoulders or i'm possible terms of usury!
 Is the speculator the favorite child of finance?

HOW ABOUT THE COURTS?
(From the Boston Postl

(From the Boston PosD
 Among the announced plans of the prohibition officials at Washington mouthpieced by the unofficial 'drys in that city-it is said that 'severe jail sentences for professional boot logging will be a feature of the new regime.''
 That is coTnmendable enough from the standpoint of the enforcers. but it would be interesting to know how it is to be accomplished. Jail sen tences are not given by prohibition enforcement agents, or even comTnis- sioners, but by the judges of our courts, and not then until juries have convicted the offenders
 Is it proposed to supplant courts by the "new regime" in the matter of pronouncing legal punishments?

Boys Prank Exposes
Motor Slaughter House

Point Pleasant During the early
part of March, Edward Gallagher and
two other boys of Tohickon Hill,
decided to take a joy ride in a car
supposedly owned by one George F.
Miller, who had recently purchased
a bungalow in Point Pleasant. They
forgot, however, when they returned
the car, and left the lamps burning.
This caused the battery to be used
up, and when it was discovered by
Miller, he became enraged and had
the boys arrested. This gave publicity
to the fact that Miller had had seven
cars at the bungalow, three Chevro-
let's, a Maxwell, Buick, a Cadillac,
and a Pierce Arrow Detectives had
watching for Miller for several
months as a receiver of stolen cars
1t developed that many cars had
been carried to the lonely bungalow
never to be seen again. They had
been stripped of valuable parts and
burned. The parts saved were dis
posed of at Philadelphia garages. A
quantity of accessories were found
about the place by detectives. Mil
ler's accomplices were Warren D.
Myers and George Barba. .

scene laid in a French drawing room
and the cast was Monsieur Boil, Mr..
c. J. Roller, Madame Boil, Mrs. Geo
Fl. Ely, and the Maid Roseley. Ethel
Short; while the second play, two
acts, "Mrs. Mainwaring's Manage
ment," represented a dinner party
given to three engaged couples
which, due and Misunderstanding or
their part caused considerable mer-
riment.
The cast included Mrs. Edward
Blackfan as Mrs. Jas. Mainwaring,' y
The engaged couples were Miss Jane
Brewster, Mary D. Ely, Louise Paige,
Frances Walton, Sylvia Thorn, Dor
othy Ely, Fred Lucester, Eugene Rob
erts, Steve Anderson, Alfred Walton,
Telford Brown, Reading Funk. Both
plays were excellently done and the
audience large and enthusiastic.
These Community Entertainments
have been very successful. due in
part to the fact over forty per cent.
of the audience has been the talent"
and to the children as well taking
part. 1t is expected they will be
continued next winter. A vote of
thanks was given to the chairmen,
Mrs. E. M. Paxson of the program
committee and to the house commit
tee, Mr.. A. H. Barutt for their spe-
cial efforts, though appreciation was

Growth Of Plants.

among plants, after the period OF
gcowth in spring and summer there Is
a period of dormancy before the cold
weather sets in, and if plants are
maintained artifcially at high tenn
perature this dormant period persists.
Exposure TO cold is needed to activate
the plant for another period of growth.
Perhaps the liberation of engines acts
on the stored starches, converting
them into sugars, or the phenomenon
may be due to a change in the per-
meability of the cell-membrane
Though normally the stimulus required
for a renewal of growth is supplied
by cold, mechanical injury or period
of drying may have the same effect.
The process occurs independently in
any exposed part of plant. so that

important developments during the

Foremost of these was the message
which Secretary of State Hughes sent

Japan concerning mandates. 1t fol-
lowed up the course adopted by Secre-
iary Colby just before Mr.. Wilson
went out Of Office, but was stronger in
argument and more pointed in sugges-
ZION than the note of Mr. Hughes
predecessor. In effect, Secretary
Hughes note says that the United
States holds that the disposition, with
out its consent, of any of the terrific
ries ceded 10 the allied and associated
powers by the central powers is in
valid: and in particular it suggests
that the approval by the council of
the League of Nations of the award
to Japan of the mandate for zap and
the other North Pacific islands should
he reconsidered. This in view of the
fact that, a month before that action
by the council, the United States
called the attention of the powers to
its understanding that zap was TO he
nternationalized as cable station
md not given TO Japan.
Secretary Hughes states fatty that
the right to dispose of the overseas
possessions of Germany, acquired
through the victory of the allied and
associated powers, is shared by the
United States and that there can be
no valid or effective disposition of
hose possessions without the assent

LEAGUE REJECTED

The visit to Washington of NJ. vi
viani and the need of program for
the consideration of congress in the
extra session have brought out the
administrations plans for ending the
state Of war and for dealing with the
question of world peace. These plans.
according to authoritative information,
may be thus summarized:
/. Complete rejection Of the YER
sailles peace treaty, including the
league covenant
. Adoption of the Knox resolution
declaring peace.
g. Negotiation of separate treaty
with Germany, settling damage claims
and other questions growing out of the
war.
4. Declaration in the Knox resolu-
ton of American intention to cooper
ate with our chief eo-belligerents for
mutual defense if the peace of Europe
should he threatened by any power or
combination Of powers
J. Adoption of Il separate resolution
declaring that the United States
stands with the allied powers in hold
ing Germany responsible for the war
and bound TO make reparation TO the
full extent of its ability
G. Negotiation with Great Britain
and Japan Of an agreement for the re-
duction Of naval ornament
Z. Submission to the other powers
of suggestions as ~ the association of
nations for the promotion OF world
peace which the United States would
he willing to join in conformity with
its traditional policy of non-entangle
ment in the affairs of Europe and of
preservation of independence of ac-
ton.
II was stated that the Knox reso-
luton would be introduced in the SEN
ate Immediately upon the converting
of congress. after being amended by
the addition of section declaring
that the United States stands ready
to fight whenever in the judgment of
this government the civilization of
the world is imperlled. This promised
cooperation in the preservation of
peace Is an important part of Mr.. Har
ding's program for ultimately abolish
ing. war. There is reason to be-
lieve that NJ Viviani is well satisfied
with the plans of the administration
and thai France viii he as satisfied
when he has explained them to his
cuuntrymen. The satisfaction of the
other allied powers is probIematical.
