A GRAVE PROBLEM
Among the verjr grave problems
which crowd upou * President
Wilson's attention 18 the peril of
China, as an inedpendent power
.tble (o direct Its international as i
well as internal affairs In its own ;
way. t
The pressure which Japan is j
bringing to bear upon the Chinese j
government is extremely ominous, j
Fresh troops are being sent from
the Japanese islands to Manchuria.
The tone of the Japanese newspa
pers which are close to the im
perial government is increasingly j
threatening. Incidentally, it is to i
be noted that the possibility of the
sending of a large Japanese army
to Europe to aid the allies is uo
longer talked of anywhere. It is
too plain that Japanese aims and
plans axe centered upon the imme
diate advantage and aggrandize
ment of Japan.
Coina is asked to make conces
sions to Japan in respect to trade
and shipping, the employment by
the covernaient of Japanese ex
perts of various kind and the use
of Japanese capital and materials
which are not compatible with en
tire national liberty of action. The
I'eking government cannot grant
thv demands of Japan without es
tablishing relations between the
two nations which must make the
larger virtually subordinate to the
■s.ualler
Japan plainly seeks to create
londltions which will make it the
expectation and the habit of Chi
nese rulers to bow to Japanese re
quests and orders in everything
vhich Tokyo deems of importance
• ncugh to .nsist upou. It is the
very independence of China which
u heing menaced and undermined.
To such a change in Asia the
fiuted States cannot remain indif
i> rent. Its freedom of trade with
<hiua, its security In the future,
must necessarily be involved in any
i '.nditions which would place the
vast resources of China in any de
cree at the disposal of Japan. "With
the Japanese empire supreme in
Extern Asia are American republic
could not easily be assured of due
recognit'on of its o-rn right's in
the Pacific.
The Panama canal was not built
an hour too soon.
THB WAR STOPPERS
That Americans deplore the war
iu Europe goes without saying,
says the Cleveland Leader.
Their feeling on the subject
•loes them credit since, as need
u'ardly be said, it arises not at all
from selfish consideration of any
uatoward effect the war may have
on American interests, but entire
1/ from a humanitarian wish that
the afflicted peoples of the warring
continent may be scared further
•stresses of woes.
Yet ^ there in the circumstance^
nny reason why we of America
should talk of urging our govern
ment to undertake something to
ward stopping the war—why we
should make restoration of Eu
rope's peace the subject of peti
tions, resolutions, mass meetings,
conventions, memorial and other
such expressions as Americans de
light in?
Whether any-hiug the United
?tates could do would have the ef
fect of bringing the war to an
earlier close may be open to debate,
but there can .be no question of the
utter futility in that respect of any
thing Americans can say. if
American opinion had influence,
there would have been no war.
?Suce wars are much more easily
avoiedd than ended, American sen
timent in the premises is much
more helpless now tbnn it was >ast
summer.
Americans who talk grandilo
quently about bringing influence to
bear to sto> the .war are wasting
their bream, excepi ior »utu im
pute as they may get from their
vacuous utterances. More than
that, they come very close to com
mitting aa offensive Impertinence
in their seeming assumption that
Europe's people do not know with
out being told that war is horrible
and ought to be stopped.
As Mr. Roland G. Usher points
out iu a lato publication, the na
tions involved In this war have
lived through other wars, have
every facility for appreciating the
horror of this one, desire its close
quite as earnestly as neutral na
tions can and do not require Amer
ica advice to the effect either that
they foolishly started it without
cause or ought to end it now with
out decisive result. From Europe's
viewpoint, American talk nbout the
war must seem puerile as well as
impertinent—the uninformed bom
bast of a spread-eagle nation given
to overestimating its influence. It
is to be hoped Europe will realize
that not all Americans imagine
tlu-mselves war stoppers.
American Holidays
Not Celebrated In
A Proper Spirit
By Rabbi M. J. CRIES, President of the
Central Conference of American
Rabbis
THE birthdays of Washington
and Lincoln should be remem
bered not for the celebration
of the days, but for the powerful
messages they bring.
Unfortunately all the holidays on
the American national calendar
have been transformed by the
worldly spirit of our generation to
public holidays. The day of the
Declaration of Independence and
our national "(lav of Memorial ARE
NOT CONSECRATED AS DAYS
OF NOBLE THOUGHT OF
COUNTRY AND OF NATIONAL
UPLIFT. BUT ARE DESECRAT
ED BY ALMOST UNIVERSAL
MERRYMAKING AND FEAST
ING, PLEASURE SEEKING AND
SPORT.
What a lesson the public men of
our own time might learn from the
life and memory of Washington!
BOTH HE AND LINCOLN WERE
LOVERS OF THEIR COUNTRY:
BOTH LOVERS OF MANKIND, HON
ORABLE IN THEIR PUBLIC LIFE
AND CLEAN IN THEIR PERSONAL
LIFE, THE TWO GREATEST OF
AMERICANS—AMONG THE GREAT
EST IN ALL THE WORLD.
Voltaire's Quick Wit.
When Voltaire was living In London
a crowd gathered to mob him as he
passed along the street. For what rea
son 1 Because he was a Frenchman.
Boldly confronting the mob, lie mount
ed a stone and addressed them. "Brave
Englishmen,'' he cried, "am I not sutll
ciently unhappy in not having been
born among > ou V" This speech was so
effective thai the crowd carried him on
their shoulders to his lodgings.
His Comparison.
"When you eat be careful to leave off
hungry." is advice that is very often
given to children at the dinner table,
but seldom received In »u obedient
spirit
The cautwii was repeated not long
slnee to a .v ounpster of vigorous appe
tite.
"Pshaw!" be said. "You* might as
well tell me to wash niv face and be
careful to leave off dirty."

DON'T WAIT
Delay is Often Dangerous
When the back begins to ache.
Don't wait until backache be
comes chronic;
'Till kidney troubles develop;
'Till urinary troubles destroy
night's rest.
Profit by this person's experience.
Mrs. Alonzo Stevens, S220 Broad
way, Everett, Wash., says: "I had
a terrible, heavy pain across the
small of my back and I was unable
to rest nights on account of the paiu
through my loins. Often, when I
straightened after stoojing, sharp
p.wi s darted through me. I was
extremely nervous and was bothered
by irregular action of my kidneys. I
doctored, but got no permanent re
lief, and finally I decided to try
Doan's Kidney Pills. After I had
used several boxes, these ailments
left me and now 1 am in good
health."
Price 50c, at all dealers. Dont
simply ask for a kidney remedy—
get Poan's Kidney Pills—the same
that Mrs. Stevens had. Foster-Mil
