cause we must reckon not only with
our present enemies, the entente al

presented by the latter Is perhaps the
mom difficult.
We are the sincere friends and

Is possible, which Is as long as Ger

But If the pessimists in our coun

&ay endeavor to oppose her will upon
us. armed or otherwise, we must have

country that could play the role we
would ask of her and come to our

prospect of her ranping herself with

latter to her senses.
We have made ' two serious mis
takes with regard to Russi,a. In the
first place, we Judged Germany to be
' our only powerful neighbor. We were
ateadily deceived to Russia. Hence
we thought her feeble and devltlated,
a giant, yes, but with feet of clay,
she has developed Into a veritable
colossus of strength.
The war has shown her wonderful
vitality and her unlimited resources,
which, although unsufficiently devel

Among th women who have been admitted to the practice of law: 1, Ldda M. O'Bryon-Portland; 2. Miss Manche Langley, Forest Grove; 3, Mrs. Tom Garland, Portland;

.Forty-nine women -have been admit
ted to the practice of law in Oregon
since 1885, when, at a special session
of the legislature, a statute was enact
ed allowing women to enter the law
profession In this state. The list in
cludes women who have made enviable
namei for themselves in the practice
of law on their own account; some
have become, law partners of their
husbands; others continue to do cleri
cal work, in which they find their
knowledge of the law a constant help,
and a few have married and given tip
the profession entirely.
Interesting and even drama tlo is the
story of how the statute' admitting
women lawyers was enacted in Oregon.
It was back in 1884 or '85 that Mrs.
Mary A. Leonard was defendant on a
grave charge at The Dallas and was im
prisoned pending her trial. While in
jail, Mrs. Leonard studied law. She
was acquitted of the charge against
her and. having mastered Blackstone,
applied to the supreme court for ad
mittance to the bar. But there was
no precedent and the court did not in
terpret the law widely enough to ad
mit women. But Mrs. Leonard was
not to be denied the desire of her life.
She . began working for a new stat
ute and at the special session in 1885
the law was changed, admitting women
to the legal profession and Mrs. Leon
ard became Oregon's first woman bar
rister. The entire list of those admitted to
practice to date ia aa follows: Grace

Mr. Dickson Got to Right Wedding
But Friends Got to Wrong Dance
Judge and Mrs. Cross Could Have Forgiven Mistake if it Had
Been His Own Nuptials Instead of Some One's Else.
If John Dickson had been going tosystem, invited Judge and Mrs. Henry
his own wedding there might have
been some extenuating circumstances;
but well, it wasn't his wedding.
Instead it was a fashionable church
wedding on the West side last week,

night a the Transportation club

dance with the Dlckaons. Judge Crass

The plot waa this: . The Dicksons
were to drop the Crosses at the dance.
go to the wedding, and then return to
the dance.
Now the Transportation club dance
was to be held in the commodious
rooms of the Transportation club over
the Hibemla Savings bank.
Mr. Dickson In his haste to reach
the nuptials. however, dropped the
Crasse9 at a popular dance hall in a
westerly direction from Fourth and
Washington streets, and went merrily
on his way.
The Cr asses went in. It was a
dance, all right, but there seemed to
be no one they knew and they were
the only people in evening garb.
In the belief that they were In the
right place, however, having faith in
Mr. Dickson's sense of location, they
danced a few dances and sat around
a few more.
The popular dance' went on gaily,
bvft the Crasse found themselves de
cidedly out of it.
Further up the street wedding bells
rang out and the Dicksons returnd
for the dance. They found the
emthaticall "Xto:" We now Bee oar i

Crasses sitting in a corner wondering
what it was all about.
Then they found out for certain It
was not the Transportation dub

There was a hasty exit.

door as they made way into the night,
"Alj done thought you was In the

Arrival at the Transportation club a
few minutes later revealed that her
thought wa eminently correct.

London Anril 21. (J. N. S.) Fred
eric Coleman, an American author.
' who recently arrived here afrfer a visit
to China, where , he made an exnaus
! tive study of social and political con
ditions, has given out an interview re
garding the value of China as an any.
Mr. Coleman says the entrance or
the republic of China into the alliance
against the central powers was strong
ly thought of in the latter part of
1915. when Yuan Shih Kat was tne
controlling power at the Chinese cap
ital. He asserts that Dr. George Mor
rison, one of Yuan Shih Kal's strong
est advisers, was heartily in favof of
the Chinese throwing in their lot with
the allies and furnishing tioopa for
the European fronts.
Speaking of the events which led
ud to thi situation, which at the time
looked favorable from an allied stand
point. Mr. Coleman says
"The five group demands pressed on
China bv Japan in the fore part of
1915 put some of Japan's mors fervent
ambitions Into concrets form. Yuan
saw that with China enrolled as one
of the allies and thus entitled to a
seat at the table around which the
peace proposals would one day be un
der discussion, the larger, if weaker,
oriental power would be able to keep a
close eye on her neighbors proposals,
particularly with reference to the ulti
mate fate of Tslngtau, lf not of Man
churia and Fuklen.
Blow to G-ernuta Bnslaass,
TJVip-uhmeti in the east saw a real
benefit to the allies in the entrance of
China. German business ln tne orient
would be dealt a blow that would be
no mean factor In the general pressure
that the war is bringing on Germany
from various angles.
"When Japan was consulted by the
powers aa to her view on the question
of China's proposed action the Japa
nese foreign office paused before re
plying to consult her ambassadors
abroad. The project, ln some unusual
manner, found its way Into the hands
of a New York Journalist, who gave it
to the world.
"As Thomas F. Millard, editor of
the China Press, puts It, this suges
tion caused a furore In Japan, where
the press violently assailed It as a
blow at Japan.
"Japanese publicists were bitter.
Mr. Kenklchl Kodera, a member of
Japan's house of representatives, a
millionaire from Kobe, a graduate of
Yale, Johns Hopkins anj Columbia
universities ln America, and a student
of law and politics ln both Germany
and Austria, expressed tho thoughts
of a host of Japanese when he wrote
ln the Yamato Shtmbwn in January,
1916, that 'Sir John Jordan. British
minister at Peking, on the other hand,
Joins Japan in sending warnings to
China against the monarchy and, on
the other hand, tries to include China
in the entente. I Judge that England
la loth to allow Japan special political
and economical privileges in China.
Thus today, I am sorry to say, we do
not get any benefit from the Anglo
Japanese alliance.
"This waa by no means the Japa
nese official view, as was evidenced
; by Marquis Okuma's frank disavowal
or it.
China Seises Opportunity.
"Last October I was In Peking.
Yuan Shih Kai had been gathered to
his athers. The republic waa an as
sured fact. Li Yuan Hung was presi
dent and Tuan Chi Jul was premier. I,
saw and talked with each of them. I
discussed the possible entrance of
China Into the circle of the allies with
many Chinese. It seemed a dead Is
sue. Though I found certain Chinese
working for it. their efforts lacked
cohesion and anything like enthu
siasm. "Recently Germany promulgated her
new propaganda of unlicensed murder
on the high ceas. This gave China a
new opportunity to reopen . the old
question of Joining the allies, which
she waa not alow to grasp.
"She found a new attitude on the
part of Japan. The strong man Te
rauchi, was premier in the island em
pire. His policy was declared at the
outset of hig premiership to be real
friendship for China. .Japanese of his
political views made no secret of the
fact thai they considered that the pre
sentation to China of the five group
demands had jeen a diplomatic and
political error on Japan's part.
"So neither government, nor press,
nor people in Japan raised the old
slogans against the new move. Terau
chi's government has much more, to
say to the press and the people, too,
for that matter, than had the weaker
regime of Okuma.
U Weaker Than Framiar.
"Tuan Chi Jul, China's premier, may
not possess real statesmanship to Any
marked degree, but he Is far more able
and much more of a politician than Li
Yuan Hung, his president.
"Li Yuan Hungs hold on the presi
dency of China is chiefly due to the
l fact that he Is an honest, fearless,
; simple old soldier, who played a prom
! lnent part ln the fighting that made
the Chinese republic an established
fact, and that he belongs to no par
ticular, party or faction. LI is one of
the few men ln China, steeped In Chl
nece ways though he is, who could
have retained the presidency through
the troublous months of 191S with no
little objection from the contending
factions In Chinese politics.
