In fact, Ington residents are divided on the question as to whether it was the original equine steed of Noah’s ark fame, or the one which conveyed Methusaleh’s grandfather to school on winter mornings. No one knew where they were going, but after con- siderable speculation Newington resi- dents finally adopted, under protest, the driver's statement that he really was on the way. In fact, he confided that he had four miles to go and all night to get there. The horse appar- ently was determined to take all night to cover the distance. Burned the Wagon. “Git ap, thah,” shouted the driver, swinging a double-joined whip about his head like a fish line; but the horse was a blue law advocate and refused to work Sunday. “Why don’t you build a fire under him,” was the inevitable advice, generally offered about this time in all such cases. “I aid, once,” was the answer, “and the dern fule hoss moved ahead three feet and burned up the wagon.” ‘Wouldn't Notice Pepper. “Give him a dose of red pepper,” suggested someone else, thinking to Pput some “pep” into the animal. “His gosh dinged hide's so dern tough he'd never know it was the reply. “Put stones in his ears,” suggested another volunteer adviser. “It ud only make another rattle in his head,” disgust- edly returned the driver, now the center of an amused gathering. Finally Compromises. Advice and suggestions flew thick and fast from now on. Offers of as- sistance were plenty. Finally some- one suggested trying to lead the horse; others tried pushing the wag- on. But he would neither be led nor pushed. On the principle that you can coax an animal where you can't drive him, someone pulled a bunch of grass and held it before the ani- mal's nose. His eyes opened: his ears stood up; his nostrils twitched, he stretched his neck, but couldn’t quite reach the grass. He hesitated, pond- ered and decided to compromise by putting one foot forward. But the grass was moved on They Get the Horse Laugh. His greed now excited, the balky horse at last took a step forward. The action was so unexpected that the holder of the grass became excited, and, as the grass went down an equine throat, a lusty ““hee-haw,” resounded on the atmosphere. Profiting by his first experience, the grass puller became wary and, hold- ing another bunch of green grass at a safe distance he walked backwards ahead of the horse, while an admiring crowd pushed on the wagon. At last reports the group had progressed about 500 feet at the rate of 100 feet mar hour and were still going. the New- CONFERENCE CAUSES JAPANESE FERMENT Copsternation Reigns as People Hear of World Discussions Tokio, Aug. 29.—(The Associated Press.))—Not since the Russo-Japan- ase war has anything created such a ferment in Japan Pre ng’s proposal to call a conference of the interested powers to discuss F: sident Hard- | Eastern problems in connection with the general limitation. question of armament Japan had been looking forward to « general discussion of political prob- lems with the United States and pos- sibly, also, with Great Britain but coming immediately after the failure of British statesmen to agree on the renewal of the Anglo-Japanese al- hance, the proposal to deliberate on I"ar-Eastern policies and problems by all powers having an interest in the i'ar East caused consternation. The prevailing opinion was plainly fcar of such a world congress. It was, according to the general view, calculated to decide great issues vitality concerning the future of Ja- pan and these issues dealt with Asia which Japan tends to regard as being ‘her own preserves,” There was ap- prehension in some quarters of re- sulting isolation. There was dismay at the apparent difficulties found in extending the railitary pact with England which has ever been considered the pivot of Nippon's foreign diplomacy and which s=ve to Japan international weight, l'ecause, it meant a working allionce with a great Western empire. It was n the prevailing view, the ever pres- ent evidence that Japan was now of the great powers of the world and was the effective bridge between the lead- ng powers of the Orient and a mighty white power of Europe. Many men of Nippon therefore “aresaw a danger of an Anglo-Saxon combination acting to strangle Ja- pan’s political development in Asia— a fettering of future Japanese activ ty on the oriental side of the Pacific ocean. Japan therefore accepted giadly the armament discussion be- cause the maintenance and increase of her navy and army are a crush- ing burden which financially she knows she cannot stand. But she acked the United States to define whot volitical questions were to be sub- mitted to the Far Eastern conference. Meantime, she made tentative plans to draw up a list of matters she deemed vital for deliberation in con- nection with her own interests and in connection with the general aim of the conference. Japanese of prominence, however, rajecting the fears of many bur- eaucrats, foresaw in the political con- ference a not-to-be-lost opportunity of pushing forward the cause of Ja- pan as a world power—of demand- ing assured sources for food and raw material so vital for-their country, of finding an outlet for their increas- ing population and markets for their manufactured articles on a basis "of the most-favored nation treatment, and, in a general way, of obtaining recognition of the principle of equal treatmert and equal opportunity for the vellow race. X These men welcomed the conference us Japan’s golden moment. They were convinced that neither the 'Tnited States nor Great Britain would fail to give due consideration to Japan’s position and world wants, that they would recognize Japan's place as the leading oriental power and not forget Japan’'s very presence in the Far East entitled her to cer- tain rights, as she already possesses advantages, on account of nearness and her close historical and racial as- sociations with the rest of Asia. They believed that Japan would better her iot, not make it worse. Manp newspapers drew attention to the quick calling of the Far-Eastern conference after the deliberations of the British Imperial Council and were irclined to deduce that American op- the failure ision on the renewal of the English alliance. They rejoiced at the calling of the arma- taent conference but they were plain- ly disturbed about the general politi- cal consgress. . Marquis Okuma, Japan's “grand old man,” who expects to live until the age of 125, who has always claimed to be a liberal, and who was Prime Minister when Japan presented the famous 21 demands on China in 1915, was not optimistic in his remarks. He predicted danger for Japan and maintained that if Japan's acquired rights and interests in Asia were not respected and assured then Japan should secede from the conference. The great internal strength of Japan is its patriotic unanimity in the time of crisis, coupled with a ten- acity and a national patience that never seems to wear itself out. The opposition parties approved the an- swer of the government to the United | States and declared that the time had | arrived to prevent an absolutely inited front. A coalition ministry was talked of to better assure this end, just as in France before the great war the “grand ministry” was formed under Foincare when there was danger of trouble with Germany. »® The general situation here over ex- ternal political matters was compli- cated in an important way internally L the sudden effort of some 20,000 siup-workers at Kobe to set up a so- cialistic system of workmen's contro! in great ship-building plants, in that city. The men demanded control by an industrial commission formed of workmen, a six-hour day a system of pensions and, generally, better work- ing conditions. This situation was partly the result of the high cost of ving, which is greater here than any ce in the world and partly the re- ault of absorbing of western social- <m as recently manifested by Italian workmen in their attempts tc syndi- calize Italian factories. The Kobe plants which were building warships for Japan were shut down and treops NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, MONDAY, AUGUST 29, 1021. suard naval property and maintain order. - Onc of the mos: significant articles on tho international conference called by President Harding was printed in the Chugzai Shogyo, a leading metro- politan newspaper, which is usually well informed, and is believed to re- flect the views of the big business in- terets. Said the Journal: “The Privy Coun- cil has taken the matter very serious- ly and has asked various questions “Although the strictest secrec: maintained we learn indirectly that the Privy council does not feel op- timistic about the matter, as-is gen- erally reported. In the Privy council the discussion centers around three points: “(1) Although it approves of tha limitation of armaments, what ii tho nature oi the questions to be discussed regarding the Pacific. ““(2) What ars the reasons for bringing Far Eastern questions within the scope of the conference. “(3) If Japan participates in such a conference, what will be the respon- sibilities of its representatives. “The views of the Privy council may be sumimarized a3 follows: “An understanding between Great Britain and America to act in concert is behind the plan for including Far Eastern guestions within the scope of the conference. As China haa been included. she will certainly bring up all sorts of questiona affecting her re- lations with Japan, these questions will encroach upon our vested interests in China. and bluejackets were called out to| 348 TRUMBULL ST. BRANCH STORES— to the Chinese claimg entirely, it is not believed that they will make efforts for a solution fav- orable to Japan and, thus a fresh im- broglio will be created in connection with Far Eastern questions, the result of wluch will be to check Japan's legitimate developmen: in China. “Thus Japan will be faced with a shortage of raw materials to provide for her growing population. Although Japan has of course no objection for bringing up Far Eastern questiona again. “If America insists in putting for- ward her claims regarding thesa ques- tions, Japan, before discussing them, may properly bring up in her demands for an economic open door and free- dom of emigration for all countri for it would not be just to discuss Far Eastern questions alone? if Japan'a claims are not considered. Therefore, Japan should proceed along thesa lines. Premier Hara should himselt take place in the conference and not dispatch representatives who can act only partially. As Japan in conse- quence of the proposed conference will enter upon a new and important poli- tical situation she must participate and be actuated by lofty humanitarian principles.” Another Japanese writer said: ‘“At Paris we went into court as a plain- tiff; at Washington we go in as a de- fendant.” not stbscribe The state department at Washing- ton announced on July 27, last that the Japanese government had accept- ed the invitation to attend the con- “Even 1f America and Britain do {ference on limitation of armament but wanted to know the scope and naturae of subjects to be discussed under the head of Pacific and Far Eastern mat- ters. Notes were made public showing that Secretary of State Hughes had asked the Japanese government not to ita inauiry about Far Eastern policies and principles but to leava that for discussion in preparing the agenda. Japan replied that, under those cir- cumstances, it would “gladly accept an invitation for a conference which shall embrace the discussion of tha Pacific and Far Eastern questions.” PERSONALS.
