(Official City, State and County Newspaper) Foreign Representatives SMALL, SPENCER, LEVINGS & BREWER (Incorporated) CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON Warning News dispatches from Tokyo say the American, British and French governments have sent warnings to the Japanese that there is such a thing as going too far with their rape of Manchuria. The exact terms of the notes have not been disclosed at this writing, but the hint is given that the little yellow men have been told American public opinion may be aroused by further aggression in Man- churia. The Japanese reply, which probably will be available as this is printed, should serve to demonstrate just how far Nippon is prepared to go to gain her ends. + AS ® matter of fact, the “warnings” appear to have arrived too late to have practicable value. Washington's Policy of secret diplomacy has kept the people of the United States pretty much in the dark as to the true sig- nificance of happenings in Manchuria, but some things seem evident from such information as the news agen- cies have been permitted to send out, Foremost among these is the fact that the Japanese have assumed complete control of an area as large as. Minne- sota, the Dakotas and Montana and having 30,000,000 inhabitants. The country is rich in natural resources. From any standpoint and upon any basis that is quite an acquisition. It is probably true that the Japa- nese will develop the country more intensively than the Chinese ever would do. With Japanese efficiency and under Japanése management it may bloom like the rose. But that hardly dims the fact that we have before us, as 1931 draws to a close, an international steal of the first mag- nitude. Two incidents in- the long-drawn- out diplomatic maneuvers which have accompanied the Manchurian land- Grab are indicative of the attitude both of the Japanese and of the rest of the world. The first was the Nip- Ponese reaction to a reported state- ment by Secretary Stimson, the other was Btimson’s note to the League of Nations congratulating it upon its “success” in dealing with the situa- tion. Stimson, it will be remembered, talked with news correspondents in ‘Washington and a Japanese newspa- Perman cabled a garbled version of the secretary's remarks to Tokyo. The reaction there was swift and decisive. High officials of the Japanese govern- ment, who scorned to use the ano- hymity of a “spokesman,” took him severely to task. They even descended, without further. provocation, to calling names. What Stimson really said was sub- sequently explained and the matter was hushed up, but ths record shows no explanation by the Japanese of their war-like reaction. | Now it so happens that what Stim- son Was misquoted as saying was ap- proximately what the average Ameri- can was thinking and, possibly, it was what he should have said. Treaties to which the United States is a party have been violated and dis- regarded by Japan. Commercial rights and privileges of Americans have van- ished into thin air in a large part of the Orient, but @ hint of what Amer- ica might be thinking brought a war- like demonstration. This readiness of the Japs to fight “at the drop of a hat” may be ex- plained on the basis that Japan, alone of all the great world powers, obtained definite gain from the World war. She Jost nothing in blood or treasure and eained some important concessions as the result of the treaty of Versailles. For Nippon it was a successful, if bloodless, war and she is willing to engage in another. The congratulations to the League of Nations was the most peurile bit of over the country. American idealists who believed in the League had suffered rude disiilu- sionment when the congratulatory message was sent. To them it was a meaningless gesture, as it has since Proved to be. Mr. Stimson’s little joke will not deceive them, for the Man- |churlan travesty has convinced the American public that the League of Nations is a gaudy bit of tinsel and a thing of dreams rather than a work- able reality. Get what cold comfort from it we may, the world has had a new lesson that idealism in world politics is im- practicable; that success rests upon the banner of the nation which is fully prepared to defend its rights. Fleeting Glory Col. Knowlton Ames, Sr., of Chicago, leading businessman and president of @ large and successful corporation, took his own life Wednesday night as the result of worry over imaginary financial troubles. To many the name Col. Knowlton Ames means nothing, but the name of “Snake” Ames, famous Princeton football star of long ago, recalls one of the traditions of the American gridiron. In his day Snake Ames was as well known as Red Grange and for the sane reason. Thousands mar- veled at his speed, skill and daring. But his death notice contains no mention of these achievements. They apparently are of little importance to biographers, for “Who's Who” lists only his commercial achievements, his clubs and similar items. There is no hint that he once performed before cheering thousands and stirred their pulses with his accomplishments in a more spectacular if less important field. The young men of our time might | reflect on that. It demonstrates fully how fleeting a thing is athletic glory. It emphasizes that athletics are hard- ly an end in themselves but merely a means to an end. The qualities which Ames displayed on the football field probably stood him in good stead in his business ca- reer, but they might have been devel- oped as fully in any one of # hundred different ways.

The judgment of his pals has at last been carried out. To make the tri- umph of their higher law more strik- ing, his private executioners punished him only a few hours after he had been acquitted on the charge of a mere crime against the state—his sec- ond acquittal this year. Once he was cleared of a charge of murder. That was & height so mean, piddling, though cruel and swaggering, that a ruffian could hardly hope to reach it. Seventeen years ago, doubtless through some error of justice, he was sent to a reformatory. Except for the intervals when he was recovering from shot-wounds bestowed upon him by cynical desperadces who knew his con- scientious scruples against the use of firearms, or under occasional arrest by too suspicious police, he escaped cap- tivity. It is a footnote to Attorney General Mitchell's recent strictures on the procedure of appeals in federal courts that “Jack” was “out” on ap- Peal from a four-year sentence for violation of the Volstead act. He lacked the vigor of Bill Sikes; but he was doubtless a fair specimen. of his class, A little more intelll- gence and possibly a little more cour- age, enterprise and brutality would be the only distinctions between him and the important chiefs of gangland. In various parts of the country and al- most every day we hear of capital punishment inflicted by gangsters up- on gangsters with whom they are at feud about the distribution or profits of their business, disputes about their territorial -or local rights, quarrels about the division of the swag. We | see the law of society almost impotent against crimes of violence. If the courts often fail. the law of the gang seldom fails. The criminal against society too often goes scot-free. The Offender against the custom of the gang or the amenities of comradely crime isn’t apt to live long unless he is tucked away safely in a federal jail. Such is the triumphant administra- tion of American criminal justice that @ notorious gang leader, laden with enormities, unconvicted after a long career of violence, can be jugged only for fraud, omission to report his fat income to the federal authorities. These secret tribunals of assassina- tion in communities where murder, le- gally prosecuted, has such a knack of going unwhipped of justice are Shameful, sinister, familiar incidents of American contemporary life. What are the gangs? There used to bo gangs of corner loafers and young rowdies. There were @. few other gangs, easily broken up. Now there are powerful and dangerous gangs which can’t be broken up. One suc- ceeds another as a newly opened speakeasy takes the place of one closed. A great commercial stake, the Profits of a prodigious business in beer-running, rum-running, bootleg- ging and all other varieties of the il- legitimate liquor traffic, causes, nour- ishes and supports the lords and ser- vitors of gangdom. The father and mother of all these gangs, murders and summary executions are the Eighteenth Amendment and the Vol- stead act, which enlarges and dis- torts the purpose of that amendment. business in @ rather tawdry affair. It had to do with the adoption of a reso- lution intended to settle the Manchu- rian business and which settlement ‘was wholly in favor of Japan.

But, as the Duchess so‘aptly put it: “Take care of the sense and the sounds will take care of themselves!” At any rate, I doubt if it is gener- ally known how zestful a few. wealthy New Yorkers have been in their col- lection of original documents and} editions. These, today, are indeed treasures right out of some “wonder- land.” Lewis Catroll—or Charles Lut- widge Dodgson if you prefer—did not leave any heirlooms for the biblio-. philes to fight over. Perhaps the most sentimental of all Dodgson’s treasures was the per-| ticular volume of “Alice” which he personally presented to Alice Liddell And, as the reading world knows, it was Alice Liddell to whom the classic tales were first told, and who became the “Alice” of the title. But it is Owen D. Young who now ‘has this| priceless volume tucked away in his amazing Ibrary. And who, inciden-| tally, will loan it to the exhibition at Columbia university which will be held next month in memory of Dodg- son's birth. soe This Mr. Owen D. Young, by the way, is rapidly being recognized as a gentleman of many, many facets, Only a few weeks ago I listened for hours to tales of his search for rare editions of great books. A profes- mal rare edition detective was tell- ing the tales. The world was combed, IT was told, for a first edition of Poc's “Tamerlane,” while one of. Bret Harte's early poems turned up on a roughly printed handbill that some- one had used as.a bookmark. Young was quoted as paying something like $25,000 for the “Tamerlane.” Also the expert radio reporters in- form me that the showing made by} Owen Young during his broadcasts of | the unemployed programs was some- thing to write to the studios about. \ xe % ‘ Returning to Dodgson and his im-_ mortal “Alice,” it annears that Amer: | fea owns an extraordinary number of her heirlooms. The Pierpont Mor- gan library has many items; so has the Library of Congress; so has tie United States, some 600 items which/ “Alice” fans will be able to find on display in Manhattan after Jan. 25. Joseph Widener, whose name has often been mentioned in connection with famous racing stables, happens, also, to be the possessor of some 40 of the original Tenniel drawings; Dr. Rosenbach, one of the nation’s bet- ter known book collectors, has @ copy of “Through the Looking Glass,” which contains 20 original drawings. Eldridge Johnson owns nine of 14 first editions that have been traced by the sleuths; Tenniel’s notebook -is in the hands of another collector, Mrs. Margery Collington; music of the “Wonderland” suite is, quite na- turally, in the Gotham neighborhood since it was written by a New York- er; the author's watch, his backgam- mon set, his prayer book and Bible are all in American collections.

It continues to appear only when there ere carriers who disseminate and contaminate the excretions in auch & way as to get them into contact with food or water supplies, Paratyphoid fever is caused by @ germ related to the typhoid organism. Indeed, the vaccination against ty- phoid fever is usually combined with a. simultaneous. vaccination against paratyphoid infection. The germ is carried in. the dis- charges from the human body to wa- ter or foods, and infection takes place by this means. The infection usually develops from four to ten days after the germ first gets into the human body.

NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER IX BeMytrope, Plumper and te: favored with positive prettiness than was Mary-Frances, and hence her satellite, received the accusa- tlon at least indifferently, Since nine o'clock the previous evening, omitting only the few grudged hours given to sleep towards dawn, and the stupid interval spent in the high-school classrooms, Mary- Frances had talked unceasingly of her approaching romance. That she herself waz slightly bored with the affair Ermintrude would not have admitted. - That she was fearful of Proceeding further into it Ermin- trude had been admitting repeat- edly and more and more urgently for 18 hours. “Yes,” eaid Mary-Frances, “that 1s the trouble with you, Ermin- trude,” “Whut is?” asked Ermintrude. “That you're like my sisters, Ann and Cecily, I told you. They think any old thing like their Jobs, or keeping that old house of ours for Grand and Rosalie, or my. educa- tion, even, is moro important than love.” “Everybody says,” contributed Ermintrude, “that your sisters are awfully good girls.” “Well,” said Mary-Frances, as it the discussion had been one of racial characteristics and Ermin- trude had remarked that Ann and Cecily were white, “of course they're good. Why shouldn't they be. good?” “Anyway,” sald Ermintrude, “I don't think you'd better, Mary- Frances, I don’t, honestly.” This tendency on the part of her friend for taking long backward conversational leaps instead of ad- vancing in order had-ever been, for Mary-Frances, a tryinr ‘tendency. At the moment, {t was more exas- perating than usual, because Ermin trude knew, since she had been thorough, informed, that Mary- Frances's whole lif appiness de- pended upon successfully carrying through this coming venture. “Ermintrude Hill." sald Mary- Fran “sometimes you make me duet sick and disgusted.” . ‘Last night,” said Ermintrude, resuming: her habits, retrograde, “you said yourself that there wasn't snother girl in M, H.
