TINE following is a brief
summary Of the most inn
portant news of the world
for the seven days ended
February 4:
United States Of America.-The
Senate passed the foreign debt re-
funding bill, having rejected most
of the amendments offered. includ-
ing a bonus bill. Nineteen hundred
and forty-seven is fixed as the
maturity limit for obligations fall
ing under the purview of the bill.
Interest on the refunded debts
shall not be less than AZ per cent.
The House has accepted the Sem
ate changes, and this important
bill will doubtless become an act
within a few days.
The national agricultural confer
ence, after flve-day session, con-
cluded its deliberations on Janu-
ary 81. 1t adopted resolutions as
follows: Indorsing the proposed

credit machine adapted to a farm

interest; demanding that rail-
road corporations and railroad Ia
Dor be made to share with the
proving the agricultural bloc; re-
uuesting the administration to as
sist Europe on it's legs, and eX-
pressing disapproval of the Panama
canal tolls bill. Congress Is asked
to enact legislation for relief of
the present distress of the farmer
and for his permanent security and
welfare.

of appointment to the federal
bench (circuit judge) the agri-

hate to think that there's no bloc,
There's an exotic charm about that
word.
Mr.. Hooper Of the Railroad Labor
Board is of opinion that the board
should have power to enforce Its
decisions. A poll of heads on that
question would be Interesting.
Serious epidemics of influenza
and pneumonia are raging in New
York city, the two being connect
ed in the sense that the influenza

most deadly enemies OF man. 1t

authorities that the pneumonia

monkeys kindly assisted) has SOW

Kentucky is staging first
class show. A bill has been intro
duced into the state legislature to
prohibit the use in schools sup
ported by public funds of any
book which favors the theory Of
evolution. A logomachy Of ex-
treme violence is in process. Re-
membering the numerous in
stances in history in which for

imported william Jennings Bryan
from Florida for their champion,

rate that transformation; others
say the opposite.
Japan.-With the death Of Field
Marshal Prince Yamagata there
remain alive only two of the
genro or elder statesmen of Japan.
namely, Marquis Matsukata and
Marquis Saionji. Prince Yama-
gaia was a great soldier, perhaps
the greatest Japan has produced,
as the Marquis Okuma, who died
early in January. was a dis
tinguished statesman. He con-
tributed as much as any one to

The Warrington Conference
On Wednesday, February 1, the
conference in plenary session
formally adopted the five-power
naval treaty (after an exposition
by Secretary Hughes), the five
power treaty relating to subma-
rines and to use in war of "as-
phyXiating, poisonous or other
gases, and all analogous liquids,
materials and devices" and sew
eral resolutions relating to China
previously adopted by the commit
tee on Pacific and far eastern af-
fairs. Mr.. Balfour officially prom
ised on behalf Of his government
the return of Wei-Hai-Wei to
China, and NJ. Sarraut for France
indicated a similar purpose as to
kwang-Chau Wan. Mr.. Hughes
announced the settlement of the
Shantung controversy and read
the Sino-Japanese treaty. NJ Sar-
raut made an able apology" for
the French attitude in the con-
ference. These were the chief
matters.
In previous numbers OF this Sc
ries l have noticed sufficiently the
more important items now en-
bodied in the naval treaty and the
treaty relating to submarines. etc.
except article 10 of the navaf
treaty. I hope to find space next
week for some remarks on this
important article 10 and on the
may not deserve the eulogies with
which it was SO literally garland
ed by the conferees.
A resolution was adopted the
other day by the conference COM
mittee on Limitation providing for
commission representing the
five great naval powers to revise
the rules of international law with
relation to the new agencies of
warfare" and providing for a con-
ference of representatives of the
five powers to consider the COM
missions report. 1t will be recall
ed that it was originally (some
weeks ago) proposed that a COM
mission instituted by the five
powers should revise the entire
body of the rules of war and
should refer it's report to a gen.
eral conference of nations. the
hope being entertained ESQ twas
generally though) by the Ameri-
can delegation that from that con-
ference would emerge that 'asso-
citation of nations" of which Mr..
Harding spoke in his inaugural
speech. The other delegates blew
the limitation of the scope of the
commission and the absence of
late of anything that could be con-
strued as even the shadow of a
shade of hint at a new associa-
ton of nations. Has that project
merely been withdrawn for a
space, or has it entered the limbo
OF Utopian ideas?

Swiss Treatment for Employment.
From the ArTonaut.

AIBOnuut
In Switzerland they are learning to-
treat men out Of work as If they were
suffering from a disease. It is found
that man out Of work is likely to
get the habit. When a man begins to
dodge and avoid employment or shirk
his normal tasks he is infected with
the germ Of sloth. He has an ailment
or disease that threatens to become
chronic. So the authorities step IN.
much as a doctor would. They dag;
nose the case, study the symptoms
and endeavor to place the man in-
some employment where his capaciez
ties can be Of service to himself and
his fellows. The germ of laziness
is stunned with an axe and the pas
tient is given a treatment in industry
and thrift. A paternal government
is not to be highly commended, but n
country which could provide that ak
citizens should work-and at tasks,
to which they are best f1tted-woCldS

by practically all his coalition

the humiliation of a test vote, the
chief reason for detection being,
apparently, discomfort with his

Rusxia.-The American relief
administration has obtained from
the soviet government promise Of
freight cars daily in the follow
ing numbers. to convey swiftly to
the Volga valley the huge grain
shipments from America (provided
by the recent congressional appro-
priation of $20,O00,00O due to ar
rive shortly at the following
named ports: One hundred cars at
Reval lEsthonia). fifty at Riga
datvia), one hundred and forty at
Novorossiisk Ohe Caucasus), one
hundred and twenty at Odessa,
forty at Theodosia (the Crimea).
Walter l.. Brown, European
director of the American relief ad-
ministration. states that the ad-
ministration will be feeding 2,000,-
ruary and 100000 adults before
the end of February.
The members of the Moscow
government, like those of the Ber-
lin government, are dreaming day
and night of making touch;
they are calculating the size of
the International loan for which

that as yet somewhat shadowy
body. the international consortium,
to which the supreme council gave
approval at Cannes. One rumor
quotes Krassin as saying that
f10O,000,OO0 would do as start
err: another rumor says krassin's
lor bolshevists have a. chance to
manifest the faith that is in them
by taking the consortium shares.

China.-Liang Shih Vi, recently
appointed premier of the Peking
government at the instance of
Chang Tso-Lin. inspector general of
Manchuria, was given leave of abb
sence the other day by the President
ofChina and betook himself to TEN
tsin. Thence, as he was expected
to do, he dispatched his resigna-
.tion. This delicate method of
kicking an official downstairs is
truly celestial. Liang Shih-Yi is
reported, and doubtless is, a re-
dictionary. The fact that he was
Chang-Tso-Lin's choice for premier
is convincing evidence to most.
Whether his dismissal was due
chiefly to popular ciamor or to the
demand therefor by Wu-Pei-Fu,
inspector general of the provinces
of Hu-Peh and HUMAN, I cannot
say. l should like to know pre-
cisely what that super-tuchun Wu-
Pei-Fu, popular hero and reputed
liberal, is doing and proposing to
do; nor am I less curious as to
the activities and plans of the tory
super-tuchun Chang -Tso-Lin. We
have multiplying proofs that, as
Rome was not built in a day, so
China is not going to be trans
formed in a day into celestial

The French ambassador at Lon
don and Lord Curzon, the British
foreign minister, are in conversa-
tion over the proposed treaty Of
alliance between France and Brit
ain. 1t is understood that the
French are holding out for an en-
gagement by Britain to go with
France to Poland's assistance.
should Poland be attacked by Rus
sia or Germany. 1t is fairly GER
tain that the British will not
agree to any such thing.

again in Dublin on February z.

result SO happily as did the first.
Not only did the two leaders fail to
agree on new matters,sbut tenta-
tive agreement which they reach
