WaahlnKton. Nov. Th crux of th
I'hlneM problem la th quentlon of con
trol by . the Japan of Manchuria, Mon
(rHa ami ShantunK. The two former
trnvlnca are conattlerrd aa Inseparable.
We are here to atronnly tnalat upon
rhlnea aoverlgnty over, as well aa eco
nomic control, of all three of these prov
inces. Any other Battlement la Impoa
wtbU from our standpoint
We know we have Justice en our side
and the world knows this. We sre not
uol.no; to he Korealsed. Japan's snuffing
out of that nation entirely la only an
Illustration of what she will attempt to
do with any country she (rets her clamps
on. Kvery Chinaman will perish before
we permit this.
OtTRAOED. HE 8ATH
A a matter of expediency, without
any semblance of Justice to China, the
Versailles conference did pretty nearly
what Japan asked. Thla outrage will,
we are quite certain, be corrected at this
conference,
Japan, or any nation with a more
powerful navy and army than they have
honesty or conscience, can forcibly take
or steal raw materials from a weaker
nation In armament, but they cannot
mat the people of a nation purchase
'the products they have manufactured
out of the stolen raw material. The
boyoott ha been our only weapon. We
knew w were helplesa otherwise.
Neit to Oreat Britain. Japan has en-
Joyed the largest volume of trade In
-. - Thte la a faot which Is keenly
appreciated by dreat Britain and, of
course, by Japan herself, as well as by
all the other powers anxious for In
creasing their share In Chinese, trad.
Thla also applies to those Interested hi
the commercial development of China,
Interests from America and Europe.
BOYCOTT 121 . EFFECT
The sudden drop of the Japanese trade
In 114 and 120 can only be accounted
for by the boycott which the Chinese
people have Instituted against Japanese
goods, tn connection with this question
of boycott, a few Interesting points may
he taken note of.
la. the first place, the greater volume
of trade the Japanese have In China, the
greater will be the anxiety of the Japanese-
merchants for continuous friendly
relations between the two countries. Any
friction In the political dealings la bound
to react on their trade and commerce.
Boycott Is the economic weapon which
the Chinese people can use to compel
Just treatment. Its true significance Is,
however, not to be found In the spirit
of revenge which it often conveys, but
In the public sentiment of the Chinese
people against International Injustice
whiuh a boycott against Japanese goods I
unmistakably Implies. !
lit other words, although primarily an
economic weapon. It la, when analysed,
a practical eipresslon of the opinion
of China.

Paris, Nov. la. "What we put on the
skirt we will take off the corsace" Is
the newest fashion slogan.
The irit night of the fashion season
at (ha opera revealed the most daring
decqllelte gowns seen slncer the war,
manor of the most fashionable women
wearing literally nothing above the
waist eirept a narrow triangular flap,
the Upper point of which Is fastened four
Inches below the neck bv ropes of dla
tonds. Shoulders, arms and back are
left uncovered eseept for exaggerated
"beauty labela' In the form of pink cats,'
grern rabbits and other fantastlo anim
als painted a the skin.
Most of the robes have the waist line
and skirt both longer, the result being
that, the gowns looked as though they
were simply lowered half a foot toward
ihs feet
Meanwhile the early spring models
being shown by Jenny and ottver dress
makers reveal that the reaction against
long1 skirts Is already setting In. All the
lallor-mades and afternoon frocks are
even1 shorter than last year's, many of
then being a foot above the ankles.

Montreal. Nov. 19. Korekizo Takshe-
shu Japan's new premier, was once sold
as a slave in San Francisco, according
to Man so Toshida. wealthy Japanese
merchant of Montreal.
The story of the premier's early life
was told today by Yo&hida. Taksheshl.
who is now about 60 years old, landed
in San ; Francisco more than 40 years
ago, Toshida said.
He fell into the hands of a labor
agent, who sold him to a mining con
tractor.
Prince Tnakura, Japanese envoy, on
his way to England to purchase mater
ial for Japan s first railroad, heard Ute
story of the slave' boy when he reached
San Francisco. He bought the youth's
release and gave him enough money to
attend school.
. After he received his education, Tak
sheshl returned to Japan and found em
ployment' with. the Bank of Japan, a
geVernroent Institution. - By hard work
he obtained promotion, finally becoming
the bank's president. He later became
minister -of finance of Japan, '
. Th appointment of Takaheshi as suc
cessor to premier Hara. recently as
sinatedjla only, tempoiry, according; to
Toshida. It was made to facilitate the
Washington disarmament conference, he
said. Taksheshl will not make any
change In the delegates appointed to the
conference, according to Yoshkia.
. The new premier is descended rroiji
Samurai, the Japanese military order,
which was taught to regard money as
unholy, so that- to this day there are
those in Japan who will only touch it
with a stick. He is purely a business and
financial man, and not regarded as a
great politician, Yoshida said.
Company Formed to

London. Nov. IS. (L N. S-) A report
from Geneva states that, an Anglo-
American syndicate has been formed
with -a capital of ILSO0.000 to Improve

Chicago. Nov. 1. I. IC. S.) The
popular suspicion that only fat men and
firemen wear suspenders is ajl wrong.
Investigation here' reveals that the
g alius, famous parking place for thumbs.
is staging a comeback.
In fact, sutpenders are 'becoming quite
nobby. C. C. Bordner. a men's clothing
designer, says the new . and growing
popularity of' the suspender came, with
the advent of the .bell bottom trousers,
now considered by many aa the nifty
tning. In the haberdasheries and de
partment stores it is stated that sales of
suspenders are increasing

Washington. Nov. 19. A glistening;
white marble building of Imposing pre
portions standing' well back from the
street; an awning covered and carpeted
"diplomats way leading up the broad
steps: the whir of a shining limousine
as it dashes up the drive and stops at ',.
the door; top-hatted and frock-coated
dignitaries alight and disappear up the
carpeted steps and through the door
way.
That is the public view of the arm "
conference, aa it Is now proceeding. The
public In Washington, however, is not
so curious as might be expected. A -small
group of possibly 100 men and .
women stand patiently tn front of the
Pan-American building to see the con
ference delegates arrive and depart.
Secretary Hughes is given a cheer, there
is a buixlng of "that's Balfour." oc
"that's Briand." as .the various ears arr
rive, and' then the crowd turns to ob
serving the business-like marines on
guard all about. .

Flags fly from the navy bulldinr
across the street, where delegation head
quarters and press rooms are located.
Detachments of marines march sharply
down the street from time to time, and

are discussing things that would putV

Just below the Fan-American building

On the inside of the Pan-American
building is a different scene. The dele
gates disappear up the broad staircase,
and experts appear. The experts are
men who know the technical answers to
questions that may be asked. They
loiter on the stairway, or- tn the cor
ridor, waiting to be called. In the oea-.
ter of the building is what might be a
court, but for the fact that It is a pool
and about the pool grow banana and
other tropical trees. Fluttering among
these trees are gaily colored tropical
birds. Included among the birds are the
famous parrots. Ellen end McAdoo. bet
the secrecy of the meetings being heM
about them are not endangered by their
presence. They do not talk.
About the hotels where the various
delegations are housed there is a dif
ferent atmosphere. No matter how hard
it may try. the hotel lobby atmosphere
will not etay dignified. Iq Parts the
delegation hotels were given over en
tirely to the delegates, their secretaries,
experts and other helpers. . In Wash
ington the travelling shoe salesman, tha
livestock dealer, tourist and the Kansas
farmer lounge about and look the foreign
visitors over, while the bootlegger hustles
about in the interest of all. t

BRITISHERS HATE TEA.
At the British hotel all hands tar

Chinese. Hollanders and all tha. rest
do things as much as possible as they '
would do them at home about their
various headquarters, but when they
leave their rooms and venture tnte the
hotel lobbies, they run the risk of being
swallowed up by congressmen or sales
men ; In other . words, America going
about its business.
