Chinese Situation Intricate

Thus amended, the four-p power treaty
itself would seem TO be eliminated a.
a political matter, but there remains
the problem OF the nine -powcr treaty
dealing with China, which is only row
taking shape This must, in the nature
of things, be long and intricate and
may offer some opportunity for eriti-
csm, at least ol q partisan sort.
In my Judgment the real estimate in
this country Of the degree of success
or failurc of the conference viii be
largely determined by the disposition
made Of the Chinese question. and
particularly Of the Shantung d spute.
At the moment the situation here is
an actual impasse. although the mo
ment has not yet arrived when the
good Offices OF Mr. Hughes and Nj.
R9lfour have been asked.
To-day the Chinese delegation is d.
vided on tho question of whether China
will sign the uinc power treaty or re-
fuse TO sign, following the Paris
precedent. refusal to sign would
obviously have grave consequences, and
il VIII remain possibility to the
very last, bat do not think any de-
cision has yet been reached IN Chinese
quarters or Will be reached for another
fortnight.

Dick Mansfield Finds
Out Something on
Speeding

r. d. Mansfield, better known
to his intimates as just plain
Dick, is q speed cop Of Second
precinct.
Being a speed cop, Dick primed
himself up on the speed laws.
But he ran afoul of the regula-
tions yesterday when he took in
custody a youth whom he charged
with speeding on a bicycle.
Ralph r. Tibbs, seventeen
year-old colored boy. dashed
like a streak Of lightning" around
Ninth and E streets northwest,
as Dick was returning uptown
from Police Court.
Mansfield gave chase, took
Tibbs by the collar to the Police
Court, and had him arraigned on
charges of speeding.
Judge Robert Hardison dis
missed the case against Tibbs,
asserting that a bicycle not being
a motor or horse-drawn vehicle,
does not come within the speed
ing laws. ,
"Good night" sighed Dick.

uric acid deposits. were dissolved in the
Joints and muscles and expelled from
the body.
With this idea in mind he consulted
physicians. made experiments and fl
nally compounded prescription that
quickly and completely banished every
sign and symptom Of rheumatism from
his system.
He freely gave his discovery to
others who took II with what miFht
be called marvellous success After
years of urging he decided to let suf-
