The recent cabinet changes in ia
pan are Of great significance. After
some delay Admiral Kato has agreed
to become prime minister. He ac-
cepts the position only on condition
that the item of military expendi-
ture in the budget shall be cut down
by considerable sum. 1t is gener-
ally believed that the new ministry
will be favorable to the decisions
agreed upon at the Washington Con-
ference and hence the change is a
tangible evidence of good faith that
is gratifying to all the world. Other
Japanese statesmen of the same lib
eral type are likely to be members
Of the cabinet. Already it is rumor-
ed that the foreign Office is being
held open for Baron Shidehara. The
whole effectiveness of the Washing.
ton Conference and treaties rests on
good faith and this makes a good be.

World News
BY J. r. Robertson, Professor Of
History and Political Science
Berea College

The Hague Conference has opened
during the week. It is noticeable
that the personnel is somewhat diff
ferent from previous conferences.
Many Of the older and well known
leaders are absent and their place il
taken by younger men. The foreign
minister of Holland, Karnabeek, is
the presiding officer, and the meet
ings are held in the Palace of Peace.
On the supposition that the news
papers Of the world were largely re-
sponsible for the bad reputation of
the Genoa Conference, an order was
given to exclude all newspaper cor
respondents from the place of meet
ing. The correspondents, however,
held together and refused to be set
aside. Compromises have been re-
sorted to thus far. They refused
even to vacate the halls of the Palace
to make way for a lunch to the del
egates and in the end were invited
to attend the lunch.

The elections in Ireland passed off
more quietly than was expected The
number voting was not more than half
the registered voters. 1t is thought
that the coalition plan was followed
out and that the Parliament will
have members from the Free State
supporters and also the Republicans.
The vote carried an acceptance of the
treaty and of the constitution for the
country. This constitution was draft
ed by Irish leaders, but approved by
the English signers of the Anglo
Irish Treaty. 1t is an up-to-date
document and provides for two
houses of Parliament. The lower
house has large power of control in
money matters. No military service
can be required of Ireland except for
the defense of the Free State. Men,
bers of Parliament must take oath
of allegiance to the king, and the
Treaty is the ultimate authority The
Governor General is, like the same
officer in Canada, a nominal execu-
tive.

Speculation is already active in the
press regarding the succession to
Lenine in Russia. At present the
power seems to be in the hands of a
triumvirate, but must pass before
long to some one of the leaders. 1t
is believed that the diplomatist who
figured so prominently at the Genoa
Conference, Tchitcherin, stands the
best chance of being made head Of
the Soviet government. Other leaders
mentioned~> are either too radical
ly communistic or too imperialistic to
meet with favor. Tchitcherin is a
man of good birth and Of much ex-
perience in handling affairs. Whether
he will succeed in getting Russia
recognized by other countries and in
getting a loan to help in reconstruc-
tion remains to be seen.
Affairs in China just now are at
critical point. The election Of Ii
Yuan-hung as president seems prom
tsing. 1t is reported also that WI
Ting-fang is favored as prime min
ister He was at one time the rep
resentative of China in the United
States, and is a statesman Of ability
and progressive ideas. The object in
view in all the changes Is to unity
north and south China, and unless
the effort succeeds, the future is not
promising. For some time there
have been two presidents and all
kinds Of friction between the Sec
tions. Made up as China is. and with
the strength Of local feeling which
has characterized the people, the

CAST UP new SEA MONSTERS
Strange Specimens Found Following
Chilean Quake.

Lima, Peru, Dec. 2a.--The tidal
waves which recently devastated parts
OF the coast of Chile cast upon the
beach at the same time q strange
denizen of the deep whose like has not
been seen in these waters in many
years. Tt would appear to be a cross
between wha.e and a turtle.
Fishermen -at Lurin, twenty-five
miles from Lima, reported huge
cetacean ffoundering III the shallow
waters OF the bay. Then they sent
out word it was an unknown Snonster
of the sea, and that they had Killed it.
The director of the Natural History
museum of the University of san
Marcos and the official taxidernlist
made a trip to Lurin for the purpose
of studying and classifying the
strange visitor. They found an ami
NAL with the body OF a whale, but
with a head and extremities resem-
bling those of a turtle. After exam
ination they came to the conclusion
that it belonged to the family of
"Bala enidae" cetaceans, inhabiting
the South Pacific waters. It is sup
posed that it was carried along by
the Humboldt current and thrown
up on the beach by the tremendous
surfs following the tidal wave of the
Chilean earthquake.
The specimen will be brought back
to Lima for mounting and will be
preserved in the university museum.

SACK OF FLOUR HIS BANK
Swiss Miller, Who Feared Capital Tax,
Loses 1000 Francs.

Geneva, Switzerland, Dec. ga
miller who hid bank notes to the value
of four thousand francs in. sack of
flour during the recent scare caused
by the proposal to levy a tax on capi-
tai, is now securing the canton of
Argovie in an attempt to recover. his
funds.
The sack of flour in question was
by error included in a delivery with
other sacks, and sold by the retailer
to some housewife who, thus far, has
not reported any unexpected prize in
her package.
A good many Swiss during the
money scare drew their money out of
banks and confided it to inprovised
repositories which in some cases
proved to be unsafe. One man, fol-
lowing the example of the farmer of
Lorient, France. put a thousand franc
note in a gun barrel and then forgot
it. He shot the money away. a few
days later when firing at a rabbit.
