TT WAS hardly necessary for DR..
: McCracken to announce In his
preface that this book 10 frankly
favorable to the British" A critic
suffering from acute myopia would
readily discern the fact. Indeed
certain passages seem to be In
spired-the inspiration of Downing
street, for instance.
Some of the material In the book
appeared originally in Asia. the
Christian Science Monitor, the In
ternationai Newspaper and the
Watchman Of Israel. There is a
feeling Of disappointment that the
Saturday Evening Post and the
Ladies' Home Journal are not
mentioned. The incidents are
written in the style peculiar to
those magazines. The doctors
thoughts are bromidic rather than
sulphitic. Although l hasten TO
add, they are none the less inter-
esting.
The praise accorded to General
Alienby IL merited. For he exerts
a powerful influence over the In
habitants in and adjacent to Pales.
tine. The Arabs, In particular,
swear by him. He 10 respected
even by the Turks. This respect
he gained BY keeping the promises
he made. Something unusual for
an Englishman to do.
OF course, the doctor let's loose
a few big Berthas at the Germans.
And why not? Isn't he frankly IA
vorable to the British?
There are many intimate studies

quarreling crowds. But, somehow.
these studies seem fiat.
The operation of the British
ma ndate Is described. In detail
And It Ia working in marvellous

view, particular stress is laid on
the relation of the Individual to
his government. The reader is
at all times impressed with the
fact rhat government is a living
organization of which he is a
vital part. The spirit and func-
tion of government are stressed
rather than it's form.
The book is logical in its de-
velopment and progresses in natu-
raj sequence from the near to the
r more remote. First local gov
ernment. then State government.
and finally Federal Government
are explained in a way that shows
their iterrelation and makes 1t

BECCARS INVADE
PARIS FUNERALS
UNLIMITED Mourners Weep at
Grave and Then Seek
Largesse.

PARIS. Jan. THE professional
''keener" was long a feature at
Irish wakes, and is familiar both
in the Near East and in West
Africa. II Is only recently that
sheer, in this cast, he-has made
his appearance, unlimited. In the
Paris cemeteries.
His method is to take his place
inconspicuously among the mourn
ers as they approach the open
grave for a farewell glance. With
tears in his eyes he pleads to be
allowed to address one last word of
homage to the dear departed.
Naturally. no objection is made,
and. having recited in a voice al
most inaudible from suppressed
emotion some verses ending with a
fervent Rest in peace" he pro-
vlsionslly fades away.
But when the mourners reach the
cemetery gate on their way home
the young man Is awaiting them,
his eyelids still gemmed with tears.
Reverently addressing the chief
mourner. he begs sobfully that they
will not forget him. Hitherto the
novelty of the request has usually
resulted in largesse. Unfortunately
the originator Of the idea has al
ready found plagiarists. and the
prospects that funeral parties may
be drowned in a food of such ex-
pectant benefciaries is, to say the
least, displeasing.

Hailstones Kill Children,

BUENOS AIRES, Jan. Hail
stones so large that they killed
tour children during a recent storm
in the department OF Rivera in
Uruguay are described in a tele-
gram from Montevides published In
the local papers. The message
states that at the height OF the
storm the roof OF a rancho collapsed
and the inmates, a woman and
twelve children, ran, panic-stricksn,
into the fields. BY this time the
enormous hailstones were falling
an0 the four younger children
were beaten to the ground and
their skulls were fractured. Other
members Of the family were in
jured.

As this came to the front, Japan
herself announced that she did not
consider it consistent with her dig
nifty as one of the four powers TO
accept any special protection, and
that she therefore asked that the
treaty be amended SO as to exclude
her mainland. That is. q number
of troublesome things were cleared
up at the same time that a very
troublesome discussion was under
way. but this is the way OF huma n
affairs 1t is childish to suppose that
a conference of this Importance
could be carried on without sharp
differences of opinion, without those
periods which we term "deadlocks,"
without the haring up at times of
century old feuds, such as that be-
tween Great Britain and France.
All of these things are part of the
problem Of working out new under
standings; to overemphasize them
or wilfully to exploit them in or
der to increase Ill will and obstruct
a progress which is necessarily slow
and difficult, Is work at only for the
irresponsible and malicious.

TENANT FARMERS
In JAPAN STRIKE
AGAINST RENTS
Six Hundred Quit Rice
Field During Harvest
Season.

TOKYO, Jan. 7.-Japanese farm
ers are just commencing to feel
their oats. Thatis to say, they're
showing the first signs Of the or
Eanization and group action move
ment that may ultimately lead to
something approaching the farm
ers' organizations of America.
A community of tenant farmers
near Tokyo struck for lower rent
few days ago. They simply
walked out of the fields in the
midst of the rice harvest and told
the landlords the crops could 20
hang unless rents came down. The
500 farmers are still out. and the
rice from something more than 1000
acres they cultivated is lost.
Movement New In Japan.
The movement caused a great deal
Of interest throughout Japan and
is regarded as distinctly significant.
in relation to the increasing strike
spirit and growing tendencies to-
ward organization among Industrial
workers in towns and cities.
The industrial labor movement Is
new in Japan. The so-called SAM
uel Gompers Of Japan is under ar
rest on a charge of unlawfuily en-
couraginE strikers. The labor agi-
tRtor's path here Is a perilous 'ouc.
This is particularly true since Pre-
mier Hara's assassination. because
Immediately every person suspect
ed of identity with any mass move
ment became classified with dan
Eerous agitstors in the minds of the
police.
However new as the puny labor
movement here is. the farmers
movement is still newer. The feel
ing among observers is that 1t will
develop and play a vital part In the
increasing social movement now
manifesting itself in Japan.
Bill Proposes reforms.
Newspapers, politicians and gov
eminent leaders are giving thought.
as never before. TO the problems
forced upon them by the farmers
and Industrial workers. The most
important step is the preparation.
by the government OF a tenant
farmer reform bill to be introduced
in the Diet. This bill Is the result
OF a years investigation OF condi-
lions by a government commission.
and is the first step of this kind
ever taken IN Japan. Comment
everywhere is upon the significance
OF the fact that for the first time in
history japanese farmers are act.
ing with a spirit OF class conscious
ness.

Hammett Winner Over BOdkin
In Harlem Tennis Club Meet
Holder of Challenge Cup
Takes Close Match, 8--6,
rs; Martin Is Beaten
By Fred Hawthorne

Alfred d. Hammett, holder of the
challenge cup, has encountered plenty
of opposition in every match he has
thus far played in the annual open
singles tournament Of the Harlem
Tennis Club. Yesterday afternoon he
triumphed at the expense Of Phillip
A. Bodkin, the star Of the Harlem
club, in the third round, the sets going
at Sc, 75, after Bodkin had been
dangerously close TO winning both
sets.
In the first set Hammett was four
times within point of losing before
he could pull it out and in the sec
ond session Bodkin led at ii, but
weakened under Hammett's attack
The latter came through with his
strongest playing of the match at this
crisis, chopping straight down the
side lines as Bodkin tried to cut the
ball off at tho net. Strategic lobs over
his opponents head also helped Ham
NETT to defeat his rival.
Paul Martin was forced to bow to
l. Biltchik in straight sets, at IS,
GO, the result coming somewhat as
surprise, for Martin is a tournament
veteran and has long been considered
among the leaders in these early
season tournaments. Biltchik covered
