A corroflpondcut of the Now York
Bun regnrriH an the most "unnpoak
able perfidy" of the Shantung ar
rangement "the delivery over to oui
most trofif'heroiiK loos of eight mil
lion potential aoldlers to ho con
scripted aKnintit us In the next great
war." In that connection he de
plores the fact thut the UnKod
.States was not represented ut the
peace conforonce by an American In
stead of by an Internationalist. This
'is a feature of the controversy that
should not be lightly passed ovor.
According to the latest available
figures the population of Japan is,
roughly, 40,000,000, Including Ko
rea and Formosa. Tho population
of Shantung Is estimated at the same
figure. Its addition to Japan prac
tically doubles the man power of the
Empire, and also doubles the army,
as the Japanese would not hesitate
to draft ovary availublo man In hr
now possessions If she found hurself
In a war. There Is no question that
war between the United States and
Japan looms as one of the poHHibll
Itles of tho not remolo ftituro.
Senator Uorah very pointedly refer
red to the alternative that confronts
us as a nation when ho said: "We
do not anticipate war with Japan;
but one thing tho American people
will never uubmlt to when the facts
aro known they will never remain
a party to a treaty which has the ef
fect jt oppresHiug millions upon mil
lions of peoplo." Although the Pro
si lent may blind himself to the
menace In the Far Kaut, the Senate
must take cognizance of it and re
joct the Shantung lrunnfor not only
to provont an fujustlco being done a
dofonscless iieople, hut nn a measure
of protection to tho United States
ItHOlf.

A thrilling piece of heroics was
staged at the capltol In Washington
on tho occasion of Prosldent Wll-
sou's return to open the summer sea
son. Just as the President rtepped
through tho entranco a sinister look
ing bundle was dropped in front of
hi in by a siiHplcious looking person.
There wsb a minute of awful sus
pense and tho ntatuo of Freedom
which tupB the dome shuddered with
nprehenaion. Drawing a deep breath
Major Raymond Pullman, the dapper
chieftain of the Washington police
force, tiptoed to the rescue. Cau
tiously the bundlo was ruined from
the ground and with the delicacy of
touch with which tho swaddling
clothes were later removed from the
league of nations, the bundle was
unwrapped. The report was made
that It conlalued nothing moro ex
plosive or incendiary than the Hol
shevlk fulminatious of the Washing
ton Times, edited by Arthur Bris
bane, so the country was saved anil
the heart of the world was not
broken. It developed later that the
bundle had been previously examin
ed by one of the capltol police and
pronounced sate, If not sane. It is
now rumored that Major Pullman
will bo decorated with a medal de
pleting AJax deTylng the lighting,
and he may later he sent to Eng
land to receive knighthood at the
. hands of good King lieorgo. The
world la still safe for democracy, and
will bo until the Republican noiulua-
ti;m next June, when the game nea-iull
sun will open.

FIM THAT TEXT.
Assertions by some newspapem
and platform orators that the league
of nations' means peace through en
forced decreased aruiamwnts of all
nations are positively iulse. There
is not a thing in the league cove
nant that requires uu allied uatlou
to reduct armaments. It 'is- true
thut this leaturu wus proposed by
Mr. U'lhion In his "fourteen points",
I j ut Lloyd George quickly disillusion
ed the president s piind alonj; those
hues and the rear apostle of pudl'lum
from the l ulled StateH accepted the
'lip" and no more was heard about
the matter, JOugland as "miutresH of
me sea'' proposeH to hold the title
jgaliiHt all coiner h. Ked net ton ot
uruianient would only mean that
1-Jngland would relegate her power
ful nuvy to thy hci ap heap. Kor
this very appurent i-uukoii Lloyd
Uoorge, nl way looking out for Kng
land hrst, failed to see eye to eye
with Mr. WllHon. Kngland s navy
is sale and the way open to build
more and greater litkinhiim. The ,
Jisarmamnnt plea is used for effect
Ihere Is nothing to it, so dlHHonturs I
ire urged to get access to the lea-
ue covenant and treaty and lind the

fapan, it will bo remembered, along
with some oilier nations, have in
sisted on uureHorved admittance to
our shores. With tho league in
force Japan and those nations who
tiave hoen denied general welcome
to America, would be able to throw
iside existing restraints and flood

Is a question which meaiiH much to
every man who works for wages,
If it seems desirable to compete with
Asiatics, hy all menus leu bavo the
leanue ratified at once. Wages .will
drop to about 11 fly cents a day and
the Oriental will have the job at
that. It 'is atmurd to say that the

New York City's Big Structures Stand
on Land That Is of Sacred
Memory,
The hind on which the Equitable
building stands, and the, territory
around and about it, is of sacred rnem
ory so fur as enrly American history
is concerned. Just acrose the way on
Broadway was Burns' coffee house,
where the Revolution reHlly started.
Here whs erected at a later date the
My hotel, the scene of many memor
able functions during the early days
of the republic.
On (be northeast corner of Nassau
and Cedar streets Is a bronze tablet
which rends as follows:

At which time the post office moved

On the site of the present subtreas
ury, nt Pine, Nassau and Wall streets,
a new city hall was erected In 1(109. In
front of the building was a cage for
criminals, with whipping post and
stocksbut not the kind of stocks they
sell there now. When Independence
wns declared the building became the
capltol and was called pderal hall.
Here the Declaration of Independence
was read from the steps In 1770, and
here also Washington was Inaugurated
(list president of the United States, in
177H.
The wide strip of pavement on the
west wide of Nu s.shu street In front of
the Idinkers Trust building bears evi
dence, of the former existence of Fed
eral hall. The hitler extended across
Nassau street to the building line of
the siieei and no closed the thorough

that pedestrians might more readily
