ten.
Hut this Is the tenth time. And
i; is not, fortunately for Mr. Hughes,
a poker game. The piin fact is the
American secretary of state, is win

talents perfectly fit the Bit.laUon.
Mr. Hughes is naturally an intelli
gent straightforward und honest man,
and all I'ncie Sam has to do Is to be
straightforward and honest and in
telligent. For the turn of the wheel
has put into America's hands the
balance of power. This was true at
Paris, but Wilson cither didn't know
it or didn't have ttie wisdom to act
on it, but Hughes knows it and from
the fir."t has acted upon it.

The great danger was to lose this
advantiijte, at the outset, as Presi
dent Wilson did at Paris, by giving
away the hand. That is by showing
that L'uncio Sam had some pet

anything, something in othor words
upon which a born pokor player like
baron Kato rould play to either a
victory or chtwikmale.
Hughes fooled everyone by getting
in the first punch. Instead of wast
ing time in preliminaries, and grad
ually unfolding his desires, lie jump
ed from his corner, and uuuounced
whut, as far as the United States was
concerned, had already been done.
This placed Karon Kato on the
defensive from tho outset, and if the

MY NKIOIIBOHS all are .splendid jays, a credit to their nice;
and evermore 1 sing their praise upon the market place.
And so I've made the discords cease that used to jar my nerves,
ami any gent who longs for peace must emulate my curves. Time
was when 1 would pass along the evil tales 1 heard, and say that
Johnson's life was wrong, ,Jiies was a wicked bird; it tired me
that I must endure Jed IlunUuni and his trull ; and sinful motives,
I was sure, inspired my neighbors all. It is not strange that men
grew sick of hearing talk like that and now and then a well-aimed
luick would spoil my Sunday hat. And when I found I had no
friend in all the ret; ion nigh. I reared my person up on end. and
linked the reason why. The reason was not hard to find; I saw
it. tliiouyh my tears; and I remarked. "I have been blind and bat
ty all these wars. 1 have refused lo see the good in any human
skate, ami now, throughout the neighborhood, men .siu the hymn
of hate. They throw their tin cans in my yard, they sic do.js on
my cow, and I, a fat and futile bard, can see the r-nson now."

but, !aw putting ail the cards a

baron completely for a card or two up
the sleeve w hich is the baron's game.
It was interesting to watch the
ct ntest develop. As Baron Kato play
ed a waiting game, and refused either
to accept or reject tho Hughes' pro
posals, holdliig out vaguely for a
10-10-7 ratio, the se reti.ry of state
showed that good naturud exaspera
tion, which a straightforward innn,
sure of the essential justice of his
stand, naturally shows when me', by
a policy of bl:iff anil indirection.
But he never fi ll into the trap. He
waited too. He simply stood pat. Aj'.d
finally as he undoubtedly foresaw,
the opposition played into his hand.
Then again he took the offensive,
arranged that twilight conference,
and in a week's time, the quadruple
undrstanding was perfected.
Here again the poker player had
to yield to the dealer of Old Maid.

Japan nominally a member of a

And this, however galling to

For as long as Japanese imperialism
