Ttr.vr YORK. March J. Japan's course regarding the Shantung ques tion will be pursued "unswervingly" despite any action China takes, K .Shldehara, the new Japanese ambas sador to the United States, declared at a dinner driven by the Japan so ciety In hi3 honor here tonight. Asserting that Shantung cannot he a source of difficulty between the United States and Japan, Mr. Shide hara said that "It remains for Chinese statesmen to decide" which of two alternative courses "would bettei serve the true interests of their coun try and the world." "Two alternative courses are now open for China," the ambassador said "either to effect an- early settlement of the Shantung question or to leave the question unadjusted and pending for an indefinite length of time. "Tn any case Japan knows her re sponsibilities to China and to civlllua tion. She will go forward unswerv insly. along the pathway which she believes leads to international peace and stability. What difficulties, then could there possibly arise between the United States and Japan with respect to Chinese problems? Special Position Pointed Out. "It should be borne in mind that Japan has in China a special posi tion which is not shared by the United States or by any of the Euro pean powers. Her future destiny is closely interwoven with that of China and her national safety and vital in terests are in many cases directly in volved in Chinese problems which American and Europe can afford to approach from purely sentimental or economic points of view. "I feel sure, however, that this spe cial position of Japan is fully realized hv her American and European friends and that she will not be called upon to renounce her undoubted right of self-protection and self-preservation." Japan can provide a bulwark against the sprjad of bolshevfsm from Siberia, declared Charles Hitchcock Sherrill, former United States minis ter to Argentina, who recently re turned from Tokio. International law and order would be benefited, he as serted, if Japan were encouraged to occupy eastern Siberia and "there set up such a dam against the outflow of lawlessness as would be afforded by her excellently functioning govern ment." Closer relations should be cultivat ed between America and Japan be cause of the advantage obtainable to American export trade, he declared. "Forward-looking exporters," he said, "will before long exercise their Influence, as paying advertisers, upon our newspapers so as to modify and ultimately terminate their present un profitable attacks upon everything Japanese.

The public service commission was without jurisdiction to issue or ders approving and making effective telephone rates established by the postmaster-general during the period the systems were under content, of tha . . . wi government unaer-auirror Ity or war emergency legislation, the state supreme court holds in deciding tne case brought by the cities -of beattle and Tacoma to annul orders issued by the commission in Feb ruary, 1919, making effective the Burleson rates as provided in the tarr iff filed by the Pacific Telephone & xeiegrapn company. Decisions by the supreme cflurt of tne united States rendered June 2, isi, in cases from North Dakota, South Dakota and Kansas render it plain that during the period of con trol of the telephone system by the postmaster-general the commission had no jurisdiction whatever over the subject that would enable it lawfully to maite any order approving or mak ing effective any tariff rate to be charged by any such system. "Of course," the court says, "the postmaster-general could avail himself of the personal service of members of the commission with a view to determin ing what rates should be charged, and had the public service commis sion not assumed to do more than that there would be no occasion to revise its orders. Injustice to Cities Held. "But since the commission has made those orders, in form, in its official capacity as the public service com mission, and we have here a judgment of the superior court of Thurston county . affirming such order, which court has jurisdiction to review all such orders of the public service com mission, we cannot escape the con clusion that the cities of Seattle and Tacoma have a right to have that judgment reversed and to have the orders also reversed. It may be that In a sense the controversy has ceased. but to leave the orders In effect would work to the prejudice of the cities in the future. The orders of the commission and their affirmance by the superior court have the sem blance of an adjudication against the cities as to the reasonableness of rates thereby established. "In so far as they purport to be orders of the public service commis sion and they do so purport on their face, they are annulled and set aside." Close to Australian and other productive centers Oregon's only handicap in becoming a famous wool producing center has been the distance from large consuming centers for the manufactured product. Even with this disadvantage, Oregon ranks third state in the Union for wool production. Two natural factors have assisted greatly in the development of ' the wool industry; the climatic conditions are particularly favor able for the carding and spinning of wool, resembling closely those of England; and the soft water facilitates the scouring and washing of the wool. .Though Oregon ranchers have not taken up sheep raising to the extent possible, in 1919 there were 2,497,000 sheep in Oregon, val ued at 12 a head. The wool clip amounted to 14,000,000 pounds, 75 per cent of which was fine and the remainder coarse. Oregon has eight woolen mills with one yarn mill situated at Portland. The output of these mills in 1919 was estimated in round numbers as $9,000,000. Oregon suitings are attaining a wide reputation, and during the war these mills filled many gov ernment contracts. The development of these state-wide industries is vital to com munity prosperity, and the Ladd & Tilton Bank believes thor oughly in extending them all legitimate assistance.

WASHINGTON, March S. A more comprehensive reclamation policy must be adopted by the government if the full needs or the west are to be met, tne senate banking commit tee was told by D. W. Ross, former state engineer of Idaho. The opening up of more than 6,000, 000 acres of land annually is neces sary to meet the needs of the un try's increased farming population, Mr. Ross said, but under present plans not more than 2,500,000 addi tional acres will be improved in the next 25 years. Reclamation is neces sary, he said, as all free agricultural land has been appropriated. Mr. Ross appeared in support of Senator Fletcher's bill providing for reclamation through state and federal aid with government funds derived from the sale of bonds.

If anything more was necessary Mrs. Fairbanks supplied it for ehe came right out and named the movie star. The Fairbanks were finally di vorced. Right on top of this came a story out of New York that Owen Moore had been called before the dis trict attorney to explain the disap pearance of a page from a hotel reg ister containing the registration or "Owen Moore and wife," dated July 20, 1918. Some one paid the clerk of the hotel S150 for the page. ( Jndge Remains In Ignorance. The cierk tcM Jhat he had received the money from a man who said he was a brother of Douglas Fairbanks. It developed, according to the news dispatches, that the real Bigner of the hotel register was a sailor in the navy and not a moving picture actor.

Apparently the ' hotel register explanations did not explain so far as Mrs. Moore was concerned, and the Fairbanks affair MASONS TO BURY CHINESE Oriental Leaders of Order to Con duct Funeral of Fire Victims.

"SCHOOLMAMS" ON STRIKE 54 Teachers Walk Ont and Stop All Borough Classes. SCRANTOiN, Pa, March 3. The public schools of the borough of Arch bald, near here, were closed Tuesday when 54 teachers employed by the district failed; to appear for duty. The school board had refused to grant the teachers' demands for an incheas of 832 a month. t The grade school teachers are now paid from 365 to 387.50 a month and the high school teachers 3100. At Last, from R Relief heumatism Spring seems to ag gravate this pain ful disease Victims of Rheumatism, that most n In fnl and torturing of all diseases, feel that with the approach of balmy springtime they may expect some re lief from the pangs of suffering which they have endured all winter. And this is an excellent time to get rational results from the right sort of treatment for this painiui aumenu Just now the system is reaay to throw off the impurities tnat nave been accumulating throughout the winter season, ana nature is reaay to helo in the eliminating process that is so essential in preparing the system for the changing seasons. Many forms of Rheumatism come from a tiny disease germ that Infests the blood and mul tiply by the million, spreading pain and torture in their wake. Those who have not yet realized the truth of this statement, and ex pect to get rid or the disease Dy tne use of liniments and lotions and other locally applied treatment, will con tinue to suffer from Rheumatism, and will find their condition growing steadily worse all the time. Rheumatism is more' than a mere local disorder confined to the locality of the painful parts. It cannot be rubbed away, because, it is a deep seated disease that has its source in the blood supply. The tiny pain demons, the millions' of little disease germs that cause the disease must be reached and eliminated from the blood before real relief can be had. . S. S. S. has been successfully used for Rheumatism for more than fifty years. It is the most thorough and relfable blood remedy because it searches out and eliminates all dis ease germs which infest the blood. Mr. E. P. Bratches of Dallas, Texas, says in a recent letter: "I was down for several weeks with rheumatism in my knees, could not work. I com menced S. S. S. and before I used two bottles I could get around fairly well. I continued usl. g S. S. S. until I used twelve bottles and I am now entirely well. I am a carpenter and now can do my work all O. K. I feel as young as I did at thirty, although I am fiftjt I highly recommend S. S. S. for Rheumatism of the Joints." S. S. S. has done wonderful things in the treatment of Rheumatism, par ticularly that form of the disease which comes from the tiny germ that gets into the blood, multiplies rap idly, and carries the torturing pain throughout the system. 8. S. S. is sold by druggists every where. It is afifty-year-old remedy, and its use is no experiment, as it has been on the market for over half a century, and is known throughout the length and breadth of the land.
