IntlmatlonS from Toxic that Japan

country and Great Britain in naval
ratios has had the effect Of leSsening
the tension on the subject of dis
armament. Editorial opinion in Ameri-

ain now know, without being able to
prove it." remarks the Cincinnati
Times-Star, that Japan will drop her
parity demand rather than create an
Anglo-American opposition front. "
That paper refers to the original re-
ports of the Japanese intention to de-
mand parity as having come from
foreign Office spokesmen" or naval
officers, and recalls that reports have
been issuing from London and Wash
ington." with the result that IAN Of
ficial statement was handed to cor
respondents at Toxic to the effect that
no claims to naval parity have ever
been made by responsible Japanese Of
dciais."
If the latest news that the Japa-
nese government is willing to sacrifice
its demands for naval equality in Or
der to make q general settlement of
Far Eastern affairs Is well founded"
observes the Houston Chronicle, there
Is reason to hope that common sense
is' beginning to assert itself" The
Chronicle concludes: There could be
no more disastrous thing for the world
than that the three leading naval
powers should enter on a building race
after 1885. The cost Of the huge en-
terprise would be the least of its dam
gers and evils. 1t would stir one ma
ton against the other, it would fan
every suspicion, it would give every
sensation-monger. every professional
lingo an open field. 1t would silence
most of the friends of international
amity and understanding, most of the
opponents of armaments and the war

under the 5-5-3 ratio Japan is in

points out that "the japanese empire
is closely knit, and Japan. with her
ships and island bases, holds complete
mastery over the Sea of Japan" The
Tennesseean concludes: THE 5-5-3

A year ago President Roosevelt
authorized the use of $238, 8,000, 900 OF
Public Works Administration funds
for construction Of thirty-two war
ships now ON the stocks. The twenty
smaller vessels for which contracts
will presently be let will bring to a
total of fifty-two the number OF
naval vessels now being built with
emergency public works money. The
taxpayers funds could not be more
usefully employed. They are serving
the purpose of keeping thousands of
men at work, not only in the ship
yards, but on the fabrication of the
vast material that enters into the
modern naval construction, and, in
addition, the money Is being directly
devoted to strengthening national de-
fense at sea.
President Roosevelt has just an
nounced that the United States is
about to participate in conversation"
at London designed to pave the way
to the 1885 Naval Conference. This
country will be in better position to

our determination to possess ourselves

in that direction are wholesome and
timely, and have behind them the
overwhelming bulk Of American pub

While we are moving toward a
treaty Navy in terms of ships, the
vital question Of personnel requires at
tention. Secretary Swanson says that
the Navy, with 81. 500 men, is now only
eighty-five per cent manned. The new
ships to be built will, Of course, call
for a substantial increase in naval

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES Z. TRAcEWELL.

At this time of year. when women
do the so-called Spring houseclean-
ing, the friend of books may well de-
vote some hours to going over the
household shelves.
Books, as men, have their time, and
grow old, not SO much in themselves
perhaps. as for the individual reader
All gets back to humanity.
A man may read too much, and
In time come TO feel that he never
cares to read again.
This Is just temporary. thank God
q let-down from too much of q good
thing. (We received q letter from q
reader the other day, in which he
spoke Of the pleasure he has received
from his garden and goldfish pool as
a relief from being "overfed on the
classics. overfed on modern literature
and other learned pursuits"O.
But in his bookcases there will be
books which ought to be moved
around from time to time.
They no longer deserve-for him
the position he has accorded them.
Perhaps they should be moved from
these choice shelves. home OF the
best beloved, to lesser cases in the
home.
Many fine points of position arise
here.
No socialite jealous of her position
at reception or dinner could find her
self regarded more critically than a
book in our friend Is cases.
He employs regular system in the
matter.
A new book first goes on a certain
table. We have never been able to
divest ourself of the feeling that there
is a bit OF display about this. No
doubt he wants friends to see that
he is strictly up TO the minute in his
reading. This is a pleasant human
snobbery known to almost every one
Those who come in may say nothing
about that fine new novel, but the
chances are very large that they will
see 1t, and that thrill Of recognition
will come to them as they look at 1t.
1t Is always pleasure, in going
into the homes of others, or into wait
ing rooms Of various kinds, to glimpse
titles which show that the owner
knows his books. In this pleasant
matter newness shines. 1t possesses
the proverbial radiance of the pin.
There Is pleasure in seeing old books,
too, but they must be good old ones,
not just the run of the mill.
Our friend L reads his new
book. then he puts It in a place OF
honor on a certain shelf
He has sort of rotation for this

comodate the newcomer.
In time book lowers itself to the

bookshelf. but he actually built such

ness good books deserve a thorough
