Plain Words to Japan.

In one Of the firmest American Dip
lomatic communications on peace
time record, the United States has
informed Japan that this country in
sists upon the observance Of all its
international treaty rights in China.
With direct reference to Japans pre-
tensions to paramount privileges in
China, Toxic is reminded that in the
opinion Of the American people and
the American Government, no nation
can, without the assent of the other
nations concerned, rightfully endeavor
to make conclusive its will in situa-
ton where there are involved the
rights, the obligations and the legiti-
mate interests Of other sovereign
states.H
Before setting forth thus tersely the
American attitude toward Japan's
hands of China" manifesto of April
II, Ambassador Crews statement to
Foreign Minister Hirota, delivered
verbally at Toxic last Sunday. refers
specifically to the nine-power treaty
and to the Kellogg pact. There is un-
mistakable implication in the language
Of the American statement that the
United States looks upon recent indi-
cations Of attitude on the part of the
japanese government" as violative Of
the generally accepted principles Of
international law and the provisions
Of treaties to which the United States
is a party
The American position is defined. 1t
goes without saying, without any
suggestion of threat or turbulence.
The communication rededicates the
United States Ito the policy Of the
good neighbor." But the Japanese
government will not fail to read into
the plain speaking from Washington
0 definite reflection of American be-
lief that Japan has sponsored . course
of action held in this country to be
contrary to the 'good-neighbor" prin-
ciple. The language of diplomacy
could hardly be couched in more
meaningful terms. Secretary Hull's
statement will take deservedly high
rank among our state papers con-
cerning the Far East, incluoing John
Hays enunciation Of the open door
and Secretary Stimson's declaration in
reference to Manchuria early in 1882.
Americas action at Toxic followed
close upon the heels of virtually SINH
lar procedure by the British goveIn-
ment. In the House of Commons on
Monday Foreign Secretary Sir John
Simon indicated that Great Britain
is satisfied with Japan's explanations
that she will continue to have due
regard for the open-door policy. While
there is nothing in Ambassador Crews
statement to Mr.. Hirota that Spe-
cifically calls for reply, 1t is not i'm
probable that Toxic will in some
manner take formal cognizance Of
Americas declaration.
Whether anything of that sort
ensues or not, the United States cards
are now on the table. and there will
be no retreat from position firmly
and clearly taken and one which will
indubitably command the support Of
the entire country.
The air in the Far East Is cleared
by Americas definite and dignified
affirmation of international rights. If
henceforth there is any Japanese at
tempt to override treaty obligations in
that quarter of the globe, the world
will know where the responsibility be-
longs. Japan, at any rate. is now
aware that the United States would
not view such a violation without
concern.

Eclipsing Personality.
You may talk as you will of morality,s

But the rascal in history survives.
It's the rough racketeer. viewed with
constant alarm,
Who in fame most persistently
thrives.
Though nations appear to be restless
indeed,
And threaten to blow on the lid.
The first thing we ask of the paper
We read
Is TO tell us what Dillinser did.
We hear of the martyrs in sanctifed
And OF lawgivers able and wise:
We see pictured beauties in form
and in face,
We are told who has won Nobers
prize.
But a strange fascination is welded
by crime,
A question arises unbid
In spite of the shortage of money or
time.
PLEASE tell us what Dilhnger did" +"

Clarke Henderson, center, and
Doug Phillips, end.
This means that large and CX-
perienced squad will be on hand
for football in 1885. Foremost in
the list of Is who'll actually report
for opening practice will be Zan
Carver, one of the best backfield
men the school has ever had.
Carver Rated Highly
Coach Middleton thinks a great
deal of this youngSter and should.
For the lad has done about every
thing to make his teams season
a huge success in all its games.
Carver'S talents include ability to
kick, run and pass.
Against Landon Prep last week,
as an example, Carver scored
three touchdownS. One came after
a 50-yard run. Against Friends
the lad played another bang-up
game, accounting for three more
touchdowns by his elusive sprint
ing.
Carver is not a big player, but
of the type that is tough to stop
after once getting started. Oppos-
ing teams have pointed continu-
ally to halt the lad, but try as
they might they've failed to &C.
complish any of these aims.
Huge Supporting Cast
Supporting Carver next year
will be Bill Finley, quarterback,
who is a fine passer; Doug
Schoenfeld, big fullback. and Bill
Shipper, quarterback, who is one
of the best receivers of passes on
the team.
On the line, st. Alban's will
have Dick Fouloisand, Gene Red
mond, tackles; Gardner Marsh
and Bob Snow, guards; John
English, end-veteran players
and Joe Arias and Bob Myers,
guards; Ike Kidd, center, and
Fred Richards and Randy Lee,
ends-first string reserve men.
Eight Game Schedule
st. Alban's will play eight
games again next year, opening
with Gilman Prep at Baltimore
on October S.
The team ends its current
season Saturday by playing st.

That's another O'Brien. He
also has two sons at George
town and one in the Harvard
Law School. Which was one
of the reasons why he phoned
me in the first place-he
couldn't make up his mind
which game to see Saturday.
Wants to See Many
The fighting Irish of Notre
Dame intrigue him, AS they
would. He'd like to see Colum-
bia take it's final fling for this
year against a powerful and po-
tent Syracuse. He would also
like to see Harvard do unto
Yale as Yale did unto Prince
ton, for that's exactly what he
thinks is going to happen in
the big chicken salad bowl on
the outskirts of New Haven.
II saw Harvard play Holy
Cross" said the judge, "and
though Holy Cross was one of
my schools, l liked the way Har-
ward looked in the last period of
the game. They put a young
fellow named Locke in there
and he's as fast as a jackrabbit
on a hot skillet. He's apt to
give Yale trouble and so is that
young fellow named MOseley."
Correct again. Judge Locke
can lope a hundred yaI''S in 10
and Moseley likely is the best in
the Crimson squad.
"Still," went on the Judge,
Il do hate to miss the Notre
Dame-Army game. If for no
other reason, I'd like to be in
the Stadium to root for Johnny
Robinson, who plays center for
Notre Dame. His father was a
friend of mine for so many
years. The last time Johnny
played for NOtre Dame, which
was two years ago, his father
was the proudest man I ever
saw. The boy played a splen-
did g:.me that day.
But Johnny got sick and
since then he has had seven
operations. 1t took him a year
to get back in shape so he
could play again.
Much Tough Luck
Then his dad died ON Labor
Day right after he had been
made Democratic leader of Suf-
folk county. 1 don't guess any
boy anywhere ever had a
tougher run of hard luck than
Johnny Robinson has had.
"They tell me though that he
has been one Of the best centerS
in the country this fall. They
say he's even got a chance for
a place on the All-American. I'd
be as happy as if he was my own
boy if he made that"
BY the way, our scout at
Chapel Hill, N. c., operative
F'eldman, advises us that George
Barclay, of North Carolina, is
the best guard in the South.
The Tar Heels have had a fine
year with only one defeat and a
win over Duke, and they do say
Barclay is the Big Bertha OF
their heavy artillery.
