Japan Is Suspected

If Japan's voice becomes supreme
in China it is considered foregone
conclusion that the Chinese "open
door" will be slammed against all
hut Japanese and there's no country
against which it will be slammed
with more enthusiasm tran against
the United States.
Looking farther into the future,
Japan is more than suspected Of a
design to transform China's four
hundred millions into a huge mill
tary machine, under her own con-
troll.
But now comes the news THAT
Feng Yu-Hsiang, the "Christian
general, has Topped again.
Entering the forbidden City"
he has driven out the former emper
or, Husan Tang, and grabbed all OF
the latter's riches on which he could
lay his hands.
In itself, this doesn't matter 20
much.
When he was deposed Hsuan
Tang was given fairly liberal finan-
cial allowances and permitted to re
tain a semblance of rcyal court.
If Feng merely had put stop to
this it would be all right,
But as the State Department s
far eastern division gets the story,
Feng did it under the influence of
the. Russian soviet envoy, Kara,-

Does it mean that China is turn

CHAIRMAN GLEN SHAVER Of
Apathy Decreases.

The national apathy that has
been growing with each succeeding
general election was checked this
year with a comprehensive Get-Out-
The-Vote campaign that, according
to unofficial returns, with many
districts missing, resulted in gain
of almost four percent in the per-
centage Of votes cast.
The crusade was carried on by
scores of non-political organizations
such as fraternal orders and lunch
clubs, as a patriotic duty, because
in a nation in which less than fifty
percent of the electorate participates
in the selection of a chief executive,
there is danger ahead
Demagogues have thrived better
since the apathy has become so
pronounced, because a lack Of inter
est on the part of voters permits
them to take advantage of ignorance
and intolerance.
The campaign rolled up an in
crease Of $500, 600 votes which was
twenty-five percent more than the
increase in eligible voters over four
years ago.

ENENTS HERE AND abrnad az

EVENTS HERE AND abroad are
shaping themselves in such way
that another world disarmament
conference will result President
Coolidge planned such a conference
several months ago, but the Ameri-
can program was temporarily spiked
by the action of the League Of
Nations, which adopted protocol
calling for a limitation Of armament
conference in Europe, to which the
United States would be invited. The
J uropean conference was to make
the reduction Of land armies its
rincipal problem p matter IN which
this country has NO great interest.
II was decided, therefore, that we
ouId not take part in the League Of
ations conference should it develop
to an actually. It now tran
5jres, however, that Great Britain is
II keen about the League confer
zee plan and would rather have the
ew conference, if any, called by the
United States. This fits in with the
Ian of the Administration, with the
sult chat invitations for the new
ley are expected to 20 out
shortly
IN THE MEANTIME, the United
States is feeling the effects of the
Harding armament conference in the
destruction of the battIeship Wash
lngton, now being used as a target
off Cape Charles, Va. Efforts to
keep the Navy Department from
sending the thirty five million dollar
hull to the bottom Of the Atlantic
resulted in court action here, but not
successfully. Secretary of the
Navy Wilbur contended that the
naval treaty authorized him to scrap
the battleship and that there was no
reason why naval gunners should not
profit thereby by using the vessel as
a target and to test the effect of
shells ON its steel-clad sides.

AuITTLE TALK ON THRIFT
By S. W. STRAUS
President of American Society for Thru,

The president of a buildipo and
loan association in a small Western
town recently told of the erection ~
flve new houses in that commpnity
These houses he said involved -,
expenditure of $4,000. Seventaar
workmen benefited directly from tbo
money paid for labor. In addition
it was found upon investigation thar
exactly SO business firms benefited
either directly through purchases of
materials and household FURNISHINGS
or indirectly through money spent NV
the IL laborers.
This is an illustration of some of
the general community benefits that
come from personal thrift.
1t was the thrift of only five
families that made possible the cree
ton of the houses, yet practically
everyone in the community shared in
the results directly or indirectly.
One sometimes hears the theory
advanced that thrift hurts business
because people who are economical
do not spend much money. In for
mer years this fallacious reasoning
was much more prevalent than it is
today.
The business man in any com
munity makes no mistake in en-
couraging thrift even when looked
at from the most selfish standpoint.
Money that is saved finds its way
Immediately into the channels of
trade, and all lines of legitimate
business share in the results.
All of this is in addition to the
moral, mental and material advant-
ages to the individual whose thrift
practices start the endless chain of
wholesome processes.
Community leaders can do moth
ing of greater constructive civic
value than to give all possible
encouragement to thrift.

n Is CENFRATIY AGREEI

1T IS GENERALLY AGREED
that little will be accomplished in the
short session Of Congress. beginning
on Dec. and ending on March A,
than passage Of the routine APP
preparation bills for the fiscal year
beginning July /, 1924. Thousands
Of bills and resolutions will be
introduced, but the appropriation
bills will take so much time that
there will not be any opportunity for
other legislation. Some Senatorial
leaders are urging a special session
after March 4, but the President has
not yet agreed to bring the new
Congress together. For one thing,
he feels that tax reduction legisla-
ton can not be considered profitably
until after June 80 next, when new
revenue law will have been in effect
long enough to show how good or
bad it really is.
WASHINGTON POLICE are en-
gagged in war on automobile
speeders following wave Of deaths
and serious injuries in traffic
accidents. Traffic regulations here
are a puzzle to the local residents
and the situation is made worse by
daily influx Of visitors without any
information as to the strange rules
they viii have to observe while
driving about the Capital In view
Of this situation, the police have been
blamed for most of the traffic
mixup, although they are making
brave attempt to stop speeding and
make the streets safe. Fines levied
against speeders are now in the
neighborhood Of 5000.
CHAIRMAN GLEN SHAVER of
the Democratic National Committee
lost no time in cleaning house at
headquarters here after the cleo
ton. Some two hundred employees,
all drawing fine fat salaries were
discharged, and only a skeleton
force is taking care of the odds and

Peace Hopeless.
The committee members realized
the path to peace at the timo was
hopeless. They agreed to the recess.
After a wink or two Of sleep, the
leaders Of both factions expressed
confidence that an agreement would
be reached today. Both sides thought
the other would recede. It seemed
more likely, however, that, with the
convention in angry mood over the
hardness Of the platform report, the
committee would go to the floor with
both a majority and minority re-
port where the four-day battle again
would be fought all over, perhaps
more bitterly and with more dlsas-
