Smr— SVIRTUALLY," ETC Glaring headlines today agreements of nations represented at Washington on the Naval Limitations Treaty, and the Shantung question, and predict early adjournment of the conference, Where there is more room for the more exact use of words there are in- serted such modifying suggestions as “in principle,” ‘“practically” and so forth. In a few flays it may that such agreements were yesterday reported. The the conference may come. It may be agreed, as now seems practically set- tled, that the naval ratio as suggested by Secretary of State Hughes at the Leginning of the conference is adopt- ed, that the treaty will run fifteen years and will set forth the number, size, armament and equipment apd tonnage of capital fighting vessels in- cluding aircraft carriers, will regu- late the armament of submarines. It may be that an agreement will be completed leaving Pacific fortifica- tions as they are and ostensibly bind- ing all nations to the agreement to leave them as they are—and incident- ally that the Hawaiian islands will be considered part of the homeland of the United States and thus capable of being fortified in any way the United States deems wise. All these things may be agreed to. It may be that we should rejoice without mental reservation. It may be that there should enter no sugges- tion of casting of a cold, wet blanket on the fire of enthusiasm that should be kindled by the achievements of the conference. But—the memory of the* frequent use of the phrases ‘in principle,” *‘practically,” ‘“virtually" remains. They may be dispelled as far as the making of the agreements goes. What was agreed to “in principle” may be reduced to actual writing, signed, sealed and delivered. But there will remain, to haunt us through the years, the fear that those words will or might crop up again. ‘Will performance of the conditions and provisions-of the agreements be performance only “in principle?” ‘Will a nation insist that it has agreed only to “viritual” performance? Will any nation declare that the spirit of the agreements is an elastic spirit and “practical” compliance is all that was ‘contemplated avhen the treaties and agreements were signed? Future developments alone may answer these questions. They are raised, not in the spirit of decrying honest human effort to do the best, the wisest thing under perplexing conditions, but in the belief that no American spirit of optimism and credulity should be allowed to erase them from the minds of those whose duty it is to guard the interests of the land of fine optimism and perhaps too great credulity and trust. report | shown reached of be as end HUBERT P. RICHARDS Even those who did not know Hu- bert P. Richards may well mourn his death; though not acquainted \\'ih him personally every man and every woman knows, honors and respects the type of which he was a splendid exam- ple. And it is well that men of his character and disposition are typical of this country. Upon their conscien- tiousness, devotion to work and duty, consideration for others and apprecia- tion of the fact that our lives are given us to use and not tb throw away, rests the possibility of the sort of happy contentment in work and in .play which makes life in thig country a life to be envied,. The standards set by and approach- “d the Alderman Richards were not above the reach of most men.

The state is to be congratulated on having the only two children's sana- toria in the country. The treatment has been merely intensifying of that which has heen preached long by physicians, namely that sunshine and fresh the two medicines needed for tuberculosis sufferers. The extremes to which the treatment has been carried shock at first, but bring only admiration for the fine daring they entail when the facts are ascer- tained. The account of one case, given by Dr, Cole B. Gibson, superintendent at Meriden, is worthy of repetition: “Here is a little girl of 7,"” said he*who came to the aun.nt(‘\nm in 1919, She was an advanced case of spinal tuberculosis. She suffered frightfully at that time, and had to spend three months exposed to the sun and air, strapped to a board for relief. Gradually her pain ceased, her back became perfectly straight, and today she is practically well and will soon be discharged. She plays and romps with the other children and gives exhibitions in dancing. She is truly in- structive case of the work of the commission.” After such testimony as this cheer may be found for thousands who have despaired of the ability of their chil- dren ever to gain health and hap- piness.

'AITH IN CHINA Roger Babson's advice is not nec- essarily to buy Chinese securities in preference to others, but rather that f an investor plans to invest in for- eign securities he should not leave China’s out of.the list. There is a dif- ference. Accepting this modification of his advice as it appears at first glance, one may see good reason for Mr, Bab- sons faith in the future of her evi- dences of indebtedness. Granting the argument that China is rich in resources and in potential labor and has lacked only the vital spark needed to bring that labor to the work of development and to make willing labor out of something that has been quite the reverse; granting that the training of many of China's leaders, for which they are indebted to the Christlan church, is inspiring the development of that spark which will do so much to bring purposeful energy to China, there are other facts pointing in the same direction, tending to strengthen Mr." Babson's argument. Irrespective of how much practical good has come China the. Washington confer- ence, At id certain that the eyes of the wdrld have been turned upon her. Tt is certain that the United States has taken such an interest in her that its moral influence will be directed toward Kkeeping the light of publicity on her to the end that she will be exploited in the future without a word of protest as she has been in the past. It is inconceivable that ever again could anything like the twenty- one points be successfully demanded of her. Even il the welfare of China were not vital interest to the other nations, espeefally and unselfishly to the United | nations, attempts all little or how to from not a matter of tar to States than to other more women remained specchless, EW BRITAIN DAILY bringing | it positon wmong other nutions, her securities with her, Bafely may be predicted that the nvestor | his faith in her. patient will be pald for HYDPNOTE IR DEGRER" There comes a dispateh from Prance of the Irench Ministe hypnotism telling Government, Justice Barthou, method of extracting truth from mp; of disapproval expressed by of | of as a| nesses It is reported a magistrate called a hypnotist from Paris who hypnotized two women in an cffort to determine who had writ- ten of anonymous letters to prominent people in Tulle and had numerous posters loudly rattling #keletons in Tulle | closets,” of the “entranced* but the from of that some time augo seores who “posted alleged One awakened No other hegged to be “suffering agony." evidence wis obtadned, for the that a “hypnotist” is able to put peo- ple In a trance and obtain answers to questions concerning a matter being | investigated, it 18 certuin that the sub- Jeets would not undergo the suffering which would be experienced by a per. son in his condition when questioned upon some matter painful to him. Were this not true a person a hypnotic trance would not be | able to bear the pain attendant upon performance of familiar experiments in the calm way such hypnotized per- sons have been scen to do. Tn that case the suffering of an unhypnotized person would be purely ph the case of “third degree ation it would be mental, But scientists declare that there Is no physical st fering until the mind real the cause of such anguish. The difference, therefore, is merely in the use of words, not in the fact itself, All recourse to intense influence in order to get a person to tell the truth is hypnotism to a greater gree. A milder term is “suggestion,” and suggestion enters into every life activity. The lawyer pleading his case makes use of it; the skilful physician finds it of usc; the exhorter has a place for it. Scientists declare, however, that a subject in a true hypnotic trance will do nothing absolutely repugnant to his wishes and desires and character. Thus a hypnotized subject might be made to tell the truth in regard to a certain matter if truth were not some- thing the subject despised—if he had an innate strain of truthfulness; this, even though he wished to keep the facts from being known. But hypno- tism could never impel a lying criminal hating truth as poison, to give himself away by confession. Hypnotism there- fore both because of i{s apparent un- fairness and because of its inability to extravt the truth from the worst of criminals, should be denounced before it is adopted.

On the heels of Mayor Curtis' dec- laration that a reduction at this time was impossible the Lighting om- pany has announced a vague redue- tion for husiness houses, exempting domestic dwellings from the redue- THE Common STARTING SUNDAY ‘SATURDAY NIGHT’ Cecil B.
