PROPERTY INVOLVED.
Since the passage of this law,
only forty documents have been
filed with the county clerk in Los
Angeles. The declarations involved
a total of but fifty-five pieces Of
property. Fifty Of these pieces
were small city lots, three farming
lots and two pieces of truck farm
ing. With one exception, the fill
ings revealed Japanese fathers or
mothers as the guardians or trus-
tees holding the property for their
children.
These figures in but one local
ity seem ridiculous in the light Of
the Japanese population of this
one county. And officials state
that there are several thousands
of acres in the county held by the
Japs, but that they have defied
the law in this respect.

Since the day of the armistice
Poincare's policy has been governed
by a cold, intellectualized fear. He
has a mind logical and clear, but
narrow. His point of view is that
of a seventeenth or eighteenth cen
fury diplomat. During nearly three
centuries before 1870 France domi-
mated Continental Europe. Ger
many grew to be her equal; then
passed her.
Regret for the departed glories
of France gives an exquisite
point to M. Poincare's fear that
Germany will renew her tambi-
ton to assume in her turn>the
dominant role. He has held fast
to his original conviction, that
no conceivable arrangement which
leaves Germany chance to live
as a nation can guarantee the
safety and political prosperity OF
France.
The present Parliament, on the
other hand, elected soon after the
war and filled with military officers,
has passed from the negative urg-
ings of fear and revenge to a
truly French exaltation over the
prospect that the golden days Of
national military power and glory
are about to return to France.
The ''thirA estate" (the taxpay-
ers) look with a pitful hopeful
ness to the army Of Foch to
bring back money from conquer
ed Germany, as the armies Of
Napoleon did a century ago.

The case was not that Cover
nor Harding is personally indis-

position to his reappointment had
been based on hostility to the
high Of his achievements in office,

conception OF the duties Of the Re

the test OF tn system-the neces-
sity TO advance the official bank

INDIA NOT AROUSED

Ever since the Turks got the
upper hand in Asia Minor last
SeDtcmber there has been much
speculation concerning the effect
of the Turkish victories on the
Mohammedan population Of India.
England's policy at Lausanne has
been attributed not less to her de-
sire to maintain peace in India
than to her determination to es-
cape the costs Of war with the
Turks
Undoubtedly both these inAu-
ences have been operative at Lau-
same. If now England assumes. a
more independent air in the ne
gotiations with KemaI, the change
NAV be due to recent reports from
india that all is well--or if not
well. as well as usual. The Mo-
hammedan population is pleased at
the triumph Of the Turks and sec
reilly amused at the obvious dis
comfturc Of the British. Some OF
the followers of the prophet are
more enthusiaStic for the kalip-
hite than ever they have been.
But when it comes to overt ac-
ton in sympathy with Renal, or
as a protest against any possible
afront put on Turkey by the Brit
ish. the average Mohammcdan IN
India is not serious. He is Infinite
" more concerned about his Hindu
neighbor than about his co-rell-
zionist in Constantinople. Any de-
cent settlement with Kemal, 1t IS
minated, will satisfy the NOLAN
medans of India. The Hindus, for
their part, are not anxious that
concessions be made the Turkish
Nationalist if thereby the Mohan-
mcdans of India will be made AFRO

EBERTS ENTERTAINING

There is something entertaining
in President Ebert's pious denun-
