Thut was in 1808. On August 23, iUl'i, Japan entered tiie war just ended, paving directud Germany to uvneunto ull its possessions in China, it at tacked, nnd ten weuks lator cap I'irud and occupied Tsingtau. Willi Tsingtnu wont tho rest of tin territory occupied by Gor many. lint bnlonle Allien made n Mcrtit (renly with Japnn in which they promised to uphold tli right of Japan to succeed to tliu rights of Germany in Chinu. It wad the price paid for tilts nupport or Japan in the wnr. Japnn nevertheless pub lioly announced that its pur norie in expelling Germany from the pcnninsula was to restore the province to China. In May, 1015, it inadu an agreement with China by which it was to make the restoration, on terms that Japan itself had prepared and dictated ; hut the terms wore axnressed in language so vaguo that, interpreted as it will Ixi by Japan alone, it can be Hindu to leave Japan In almost if not (mile an Htrong n position in Shantung its it would have hud if it had not nominally ro Htored tho territory to China. Tho settlement by tho Peace Conference loaves tho whole matter in tho hands of Japan. In olfecl, the Allies who made tho nccrot treaty stand by tlmir bargnin, I'rwildont Wilson con Hunted to tho arrangement. uuilouiiioiiiy he was placed In u most dilllcult position. If ho had opposed approving the treaty, ho would have been in a hopeless minority, tho Council for Great liritlnn, Franco and Italy were against him. If he could have persuaded the Allies to vote with him that Shantung Hhould he restored uncondition ally to China. Japan would not have signed the treaty. If he woro really opposed to tho do mnnd of Japan, but yielded to tho (Hiiiit in ordor to get his way in oiner manors, no took n eournothat it i a winy to criticise. but that nlmortt any man in his position would have taken. Any other course would linvo wreck ed the Conference. A compro ml of Bonio sort was 1 -essary, Hut that does not make the (louislon just. Every right think ing man will hold thut it is not just.

Mr. Gcarhart Lnson sang two fine solos. Tho Irvine male quartette, composod of the threo enlisted hrothors of that name, with Dad Irvine as deep hnss. was in great favor. The sneaking was of a high order. The climnx was reached by the soldier boys singing "Tho Man hood of America For tho Man of Gulllloe." Shipment of 80 bundles of shingloH, roofing for a school house nt Anton, Or., was com pleted ycBtordny nftornoon by the Tiim-A-Lum Lumber com pany by parcel poBt. "This is perhaps the most unique ship, ment of shingles on record, de clared John (!. Odell, manager of 1 ho uallcs plant. Tho big ship ment could not be made in one lot on account of tho regulations of tho parcel post authorities which put tho limit of 50 pounds 011 all packages within tho first zone, in order to beat tho law, it was necessary to ship siiing es to 10 persons in Anton. This was arranged ensily, since every ono wanted a school house com plefed for tho fall session of school. Each of the 10 was mail ud flvobunchcHof Hhinglos., Tho school miiidingnt Anton is com pleted Hiivo for tho shinclliiu of the roof. School is to start soon. It was ovident to tho school board that immediate ac tion must be taken if tho build ing was to lie ready for occupa tion. Tho Dalles being the near est place whero shinglos could bo procured tho Tum-A-Lum Lumbor compnny wns asked to furninh them. It wns fen red that if tho shingles were trusted to tho uncertainty of freight transportation they would be como lost or delayed and the school building remain uncom plete.
