The subject of greatest Importance
before the Washington Conference
during the week has been the mat
ter of an open door policy in China
with equal opportunity for all. The
delegates agreed to the general pol
icy, but were unwilling to enter ON
an investigation Of present and past
concessions to various nations.
France was first TO object, Japan
followed, and England moved to drop
1t entirely. According to agreement,
an international commission is to be
created to make objection II any vio-
lation occurs. The agreement con-
sisted Of a mutual pledge not to es-
tablish spheres Of influence or Sc

Relief is being brought to the
starving Russians as effectively as
possible under the circumstances. II
is reported, on good authority, that
the Soviet Government is feeding
over 100000 people. Organizations
working under Nansen's direction are
feeding over 100000 children and
adults, and the Americans are feed
ing 100000 children daily. This,
however, falls far short of the need
in region where there are over 80.
100000 people destitute and 19.O0O.-
600 in desperate condition. The dif.
ferent agencies seem to be working
In harmony at present, but IL has
been no easy task to bring this
about, as the Soviet regime has been
so jealous Of it's authority and 30
fearful that efforts would be made
to change it. There ia general
disposition to help as far as IL is
possible.

The change in the French minis
try has destroyed, for the present at
least, the work Of the Conference At
Cannes. 1t succeeded, however. in
providing for another and more gen.

probably at Genoa. The purpose Of
this meeting was stated to be finsn.
cial and in the interests of economic
betterment in Europe. Germany and
Russia have been invited to at
tend, and our country will be wei.
come If it is willing to accept. There
is growing disposition to enlist the
aid of the United States in putting
into shape the slowly recovering in
dustrial life of Europe, and it is a
thing our country wishes to have
done, but is cautious in its rscogni-
ton of some Of the governments and
policies across the Atlantic. There
is also a growing pressure to have
the United States cancel the .,dehrs
that are owed, and we are not de-
cided to do it at present.

In connection with the change in
the French ministry, Andre Tardieu,
the statesman and journalist, makes
some rather plain and telling state
ments. He speaks Of the uncer-
tainty of written agreements as
things upon which France can de-
pend. A treaty was made with the
enemy which is not being fulfilled.
Treaties were made with two of the
Allies and in one case the treaty was
never ratified and in the other il
was mutilated. France is tired Of
having lessons read to her by those
not familiar with the facts and con.
ditions. He repudiates the charge of
Imperialism and shows that the larger
part Of the military budget is for re.
work in the rebuilding
Of homes in place of those destroyed
and in provision for the widows and
Of dead soldiers.

The attention Of the world has
been directed TO Rome by the death
OF Pope Benedict XIV. Death was
caused by pneumonia and his last
hours were painful. Della ChieEa,
or Benedict, became Pope in 1914, be-
ing promoted from the Archbishop
ric of Bologna. He was a scbolarlv
man, simple in his habits and of re-
firing disposition. He did not seet
the office and shrunk from its re-
sponsibilities. He was kind hearted
and a friend to the poor. His pontifi.
cate came at a stormy time for
man of his disposition. He was an
ardent advocate of peace and SUD-
ported every measure that looked
toward that end. He was indignant
at the treatment of Belgium and the
sinking of the Lusitania. In mora
recent times he was worried by the
Irish struggle and counseled moder-
alton. His administration of his
high Office is generally regarded a.
creditable.

Joseph O'Rourke Of Chicago, commits
sary clerk at the mine gave the most
vivid account of the fight. Ills story
was related as he tossed in pain from
half dozen bullet holes through has

Il was sent down here by the Der

workers wanted TO surrender.
Through the night the bullets ralned

could. The miners climbed upon the
coal piles and earth embankments and
we were unable to see them. The guards
kept firing but most Of us hid. Then
tie miners blew up our pumping station.
We had no water and our fapd supphes

Some of them tried to run, but they were

"One miner asked who was the ma
