nese leading "the new order In Asia. !"
There is "a new order" in Asia
already, as far as China is concerned.
It is the cult of unparalleled hate
which invasion and oppression have
bred in the Chinese people. It gives
every sign of becoming a lasting
order as well as new" order. A
high American official recently back
from the Orient says the depth, in
tensity and apparent ineradicableness
of the venom sown in all Chinese
hearts by Japan's undeclared and
ruthless war are probably without
a counterpart in human history.
Wang Ching-wei, to date the only
traitor Of consequence to his peo-
pies cause, barring a general or two
whom Chang Kai-shek had to dis
patch earlier in the campaign for
disloyalty and cowardice, is likely to
find himself a voice crying in the
wilderness when he ventures to
drum up members for his anti
Chungking political party. His deal
with the Japanese war lords is i'm
portant mainly because OF its indica-
ton that they are ready to try almost
anything to undermine the desperate
resolve of the Chinese people to op-
pose the invader to the uttermost
limit of their strength.

In 1888 Mexico, chief silver-pro-
ducing country Of the world, hailed
the London Silver Agreement as a
great accomplishment. Under 1t five
countries, including Mexico, UNDER
took to buy 100000 ounces of sill
yer annually for four years. But on
July 6, 1899, the United States uni
laterally agreed to take off the mar
ket its entire home output, or about
65,000,000 ounces. In other words,
Mexican silver producers now will
receive twice as much help as the
London Silver Agreement gave them
purely as by-product of an Amer
lean domestic subsidy, and with alb
solutely no contribution on Mexicos
part. Not even complete repeal of
the Silver Purchase Act will end the
subsidy to Mexican and other silver.

Public SPENDING

Decision OF the administration to
delete from its omnibus spending
lending program the suggested pro-
vision for $500,00O.0O0 credit to DO
tential foreign buyers was wise not
only from an economic standpoint
but likewise from a political one.
The history Of American ventures
at lending capital to foreign buyers,
either governments or individuals,
has not been a conspicuously inspir-
ing one. With world economic con-
ditions in their present turmoil there
is little reason to believe that new ef-
forts in this direction would be any
more successful in the way of record
ing profit either in trade or in good
will.
And from the initial reactions on
Capitol Hill, it was obvious that pros
poets for congressional acceptance
of the whole program, not too rosy
at best, were decidedly dark as long
as a major foreign-credit provision
remained.
With the administrations pro-
fessed intentions being to extend
such credit principally to Latin
American countries which have
maintained an acceptable record of
meeting their obligations, the sub
stitution in the pending legislation
OF increased lending authorization
to the Export-Import Bank should
permit this operation and encounter
less congressional opposition.
AS for the remainder of the pro-
gram, its virtues would depend
largely upon careful and wise ad-
ministration. For despite contentious
that only self-liquidating projects
are contemplated, it seems reason
ably certain that direct repayment
OF monies thus issued by the Federal
Government would be far from as
sured. In large measure, then, the
return" will reduce itself to a ques-
tion of whether the project is one
OF value to the Nation, not as an
income-yielding proposition but as
an addition to it's store of economi-
cally justifiable bridges, roads, or
other publicly-used structures.

Free Conferences

The issue holding up District tax
and appropriation bills, while faith
full city employees work without pros
pect of pay, is no longer merely a
difference of $1,50oOOO between the
two Houses of Congress in the
amount of the Federal share.
OF deeper significance is the ques-
ton of whether the Senate is to have
any voice in deciding the matter, or
whether it must surrender COM
pletely to the House.
This was emphasized yesterday,
when the Senate managers took
stand against resuming negotiations
with the House until there can be
free conference. BY free conference
they meant one in which spokes-
men for the two Houses would have
the opportunity to weigh the differ
ence between them and meet on
some middle ground, as lawmakers
normally do on nearly all legislation.
They took the position, and rightly
so, that since the House had in
structed its conferees ito insist on
the House provision of $5,000,000," it
had, in effect, tied the hands of it's
conferees. It must be remembered
that this instructing motion was
adopted Immediately after the House
on Wednesday had rejected a COM
promise figure of S6,5O0,000, which
was half way between the House
amount and the Senate proposal of
approximately 100000.
Discussing later the stand taken
by the Senators, however, Represent
ative Nichols Of Oklahoma, chair
man of the House conferees, took
the view that the House instruction
does not mean that its conferees
could not 60 back to that body and
submit any other proposition.
1nasmuch as Mr.. Nichols was the
author Of the motion by which the
House laid down its instructions, his
Interpretation of It's meaning is en-
titled to more than ordinary weight.
And, bearing in mind that the
other four House conferees had
already agreed to the previous COM
promise, if the House motion of in
struction gives the House managers
the leeway Chairman Nichols says it
does, there may yet be hope for
free conference, in which the Senate
would not be expected to take the
House figure or nothing.

questioned that birds are among the
worst enemies of birds Hence it is
enheartening to know that experienced
bird observers mostly exculpate the SPAR
row hawk. Not that it will not attack
young birds, or very small ones, but that
generally 1t is much too busy elsewhere
to bother with them.
Sparrow hawks prefer mice.
There is nothing one of these pocket
sized hawks likes better than one of the
long-tailed creepers. Probably mankind
or womankind, in particular, wouldn't
shrink from mice If they made a more
up-and-down movement when they ran
but they seem to fairly glide along, thus
giving a rather sinister aspect to their
locomotion.
Probably the "livers and lights" of any
animal would make fine food for young
hawks held in captivity.
These not only are bloody, as our cor
respondent suggests, but are filled with
the vitamins and the minerals which
animal nature instinctively seeks.
1t is said that Eskimos get along so
well because they eat all parts of the
animals and fishes they catch. Maybe
they eat some of 'em raw, who knows?
Probably they like nothing better than
nice bones to gnaw on, like dogs, and
thus get plenty of marrow elements.

The pigeon hawk is the one songbirds
ought to fear, and our observation has
been that they really do to an extreme
degree. This is heavier and more
powerful hawk, as it's name denotes. Its
principal food is birds. While it is not
much larger than sparrow hawk, it is
bulkier and the female is about 2 inches
longer. This hawk is gray in general
coloring, while the sparrow hawk has a
great deal of reddish-brown on the back
and in the wings.

"FARRAGUT STREET.

Dear Si1:
'This spring got young sparrow
hawk.
Il am training him for falconry. The
first time set him out in the yard,
about month ago, robin flew down,
screaming, and knocked him off his
perch.
Since then, whenever I take him out,
the robins scream and strike at him.
II was always brought up to believe
the robin sort of angel among birds,
but these wanton assaults upon bird
which can have no designs either upon
the robins themselves or their nests have
started me wondering whether the robin

when possible, chicken hearts, as they
thrive on the bloody hearts.
Sincerely, D. s."
The evidence seems conclusive that
robins do not like sparrow hawks.
No one can blame them, for how do
they know that sparrow hawks are not
as bad as they look?
That bold, upright attitude bellies the
small hawks reputation as a peaceful
fellow.
Those powerful claws, too, must spell
disaster in very plain writing to most
Of the songbirds.
The fine beak-what can robin think
OF 1t except as a tearing instrument?
Robins really deserve their general
reputation, although they are scarcely
angels in any sense. (There is only one
bird angel-the wood thrush) Robins
are good normal birds, peaceful, intel
ligent. but able to take care of them
selves in most situations.
1t may be that there is some special
feud between the sparrow hawk and
robin families, dating away back to be-
fore the flood
Such things happen. Probably the
robins know just little better than the
people who write the bird books" that
there is likely to be real harm in the

Fortunately for robins, as well as other
fiedglings, there are comparatively few
sparrow hawks and most of these are
busy catching their favorite dish, insects.

No doubt If a sparrow hawk saw an
unprotected fledgling. it might take a
nose dive after it. but the parent robins
take good care, evidently, that the hawk
shall not get this far. They attack
first.

1t Is the Law

Lawyers, or some of them, at least,
are artisans who can spot pinhole
in the law, fret at it until they get
it to knothole size, and then chisel
it away until the largest and guiltiest
client can get through untouched.
Right now they are having one field
day after another, due to the break
down of the District supply bill.
Many of them, in their efforts to
help customers out of trouble, main
tain that policemen no longer have
the right of arrest and magistrates
have no jurisdiction. Ever since July
first, laws are supposed to be void,
on the ground that both courts and
police function illegally if they work
for the government without salary.
Thus it would seem that the clients
are all innocent, and that the only
guilty parties are officials who COM
NIT the crime of impersonating off,
GERS. Not to be too arbitrary, these
attorneys admit that the law of
gravity still operates In Washington,
and that four of kind still beats a
full house.
Just the same, any citizen rashly
contemplating an argument with a
red-headed Irish cop should think
twice. 1t is barely possible that the
officer will be more than a little upset
anyhow at the possibility Of having
his money held up, and that his
opinions of the House of Representa-
tives may be dangerously close to
lese-majeste. His thoughts may
stray in the direction of other officers
forty miles away in Baltimore, who
prosaically but regularly draw their
pay from an unpicturesque Mayor
and City Council, and do not have
to depend upon the whimsicalities of
Congressman from all over the
Nation.
With this in mind, the cop may
forget that his power is supposed to
reside in his pay check. Reaching
out an illegal arm ending in an un-
constitutional hand about the size
OF a ham, he may yank the legal Of
fender off to a technically non-ex-
istent jail, where Judge with an
expired license will hand out a con-
traband fine or throw him into cell

the reverse.

The object of this war is to deliver
the free peoples of the world from the

Because of the continued hatred of

NeiqhborIy Silver

Before the Senate voted last month
to end foreign silver buying, Majority
Leader Barkley ardently defended
the Silver Purchase Act. The Senate
overruled him, but when the bill went
to conference the Administration
vigorously fought to retain the dis
puted power. Accordingly, the con-
ferees on the monetary bill recon-
mended reversal of the Senate's ac-
ton, and the bill as finally enacted
continued the foreign silver program.
None of the early laws of the
Roosevelt administration has been
more widely condemned than the
one requiring the Treasury to buy
foreign silver. That program has
been extremely wasteful The silver
bought has not been needed and in
large part it is now held idle in the
Treasury. Moreover, the acquisitions,
should they all be put into circula-
ton, carry the threat of imitation
and financial disturbance.
The administrations principal rea-
son for clinging to the power to buy
foreign silver is that such power is
Important in the good neighbor'
program in Mexico. Certainly various
irksome Mexican problems await So
luton: The naturalization of oil
and agricultural lands belonging to
Americans, the tariff treatment of
American goods, the matter of the
regional broadcasting agreement,
and TIE like. If we do not keep on
buying Mexican silver, the admins
tration argues, the negotiations with
Mexico will be prejudiced. The Mex
lean government, in turn, far from
leaving anything undone to convey
to Americans its Endorsement of this
view, is doing everything possible to
convince us that we dare not stop
buying their silver. The situation
verges on blackmail.
Quite apart from the question of
whether we should finance foreign
countries by this roundabout "cur-
rency" program, under which we are
buying silver from all quarters of the
globe, is the question whether do
mestic political conditions make it
possible for us to stop subsidizing
Mexico. AS our law stands, even If
the efforts to repeal the obnoxious
Silver Purchase Act succeed, the
Treasury must still go on acquiring
the entire domestic output of silver.

Prefers to Slow the Pace
And Live Longer.

And Live Longer.
To the Editor OF The Star:
I have just read in The Washington
Star of July 10, 1899, an article of par
ticular interest. It relates to what A.
Ludlow Clayden, Philadelphia engineer,
told the World Automobile Engineering
Congress, in which he said he expected
ito live to the time when speeds of 200
miles an hour on rails and $50 miles on
automobile highways will be common
place." Well, I do hope this gentleman
lives to ripe old age, but in so doing
may he never see such speeds an actu-
ality. After all, we still have the Indian
apolis Speedway, without making racing
courses out of automobile highways.
This fine gentleman's views, II put into
practice, might well solve the unemploy-
ment problem in a hurry, but in so doing
many potential consumer will bite the
dust. The net result will be that industry
will suffer and the acute economic prob
lem will still be with US, this time from
the swift, but humane, removal Of many
consumers of the products Of industry.
The only beneflciaries, rs see 1t, will
be the undertakers, and nature will take
care Of them in time anyway II you give
it half a chance. My motto is: "slow
the pace and live longer"
