APAN was yearly growing stronger and richer and more populous, From a mere “Hermit Kingdom” she was becoming a world power. Her over populated empire sorely needed to expand. And at one place after an- other in the Far East she found her expansion plays blocked by Russia. Russia was eager for expansion in the East, as well as was Japan. First she seized half the island of Saghalin, which Japan claimed. Then she occupied Port Arthur and other important sites, and gained mighty influence in Manchuria. When this influence threatened to include Corea, too, Japan stopped protesting and went to war. Japan was ready for the conflict. Russia was not. It was a case of a finely trained lightweight opposed to a flabby and awkward heavyweight. Japan struck blow after blow with Hghtning speed and terrific effi- ciency. Russia, dazed and unprepared, staggered under the whirlwind attack, Early in 1904 the war began. Its battles are too fresh in public memory 7, 63 Park Row, ys i MEMRER OF TRE ARROOIATED Pras, srocinted Pree is exctusively entitled to the use far reublication of atl newp dewrateten to Tor not otierwiae credited tn thie paper todas We local news published Bertin | iacetehammenennpenencnsiantiininainitiseinitd IVOOUMIE 69... ccc csccscdrccscccccscsssccsecessNOs 20,008 THE TERMS.

H., was chosen as ®he placo for the negotiations, The agreement there drawn up is known as “The Treaty of Portsmouth.” In spite of all the negotiations (whose pre- | iminaries began with Roosevelt's message in June, 1905), the war dragged on into August, The peace conference was opened at Portsmouth on Aug. 9. For a time it looked as though the negotiations would lead to nothing. But gradually the delegates came to an understanding and the peace treaty was signed on Aug. 23, Its chief provisions were: Russia was to cede back to Japan her half of the Island of Saghalin, surrender her clain’s to Port Arthur and the Kwangtung Peninsula, evac- |wate Manchuria and recognize Japan's influence in Corea. No indemnity was paid. Japan's commissioners demanded such indem- nity, but met with a refusal so determined that they withdrew the demand, ‘As Russia had not surrendered, nor had.so much as asked for an armistice, the Japanese were not in @ position to jnsist on cash indemnity, Family 8x Rey L.

And we who have been wan and weary, we who have lost loved one. we who have had reverses in busi- ness; we who have been in the darkest depths of despair, not only through the war, but at other times; who have watched the rich grow we richer, and the poor grow poorer we who have seen might survive over right; you who have had noti- ing but trouble all your fife; you who have been bitter in your beart at the cruelties that fate bas in- flicted upon youmall, all, here is our chance to see before our very eyes the rule of compensation, work even to the nth power, gloat over the despair of even the worst person in the world, but to recognize the workable qualities of the law of compensation. Never has history recorded such a clear-cut case of tht law of compensation, Here was the mighty ruler of a mighty na- tion, with a mailed fist that seemed indomitable; @ man that brought the highest attainments to his country—a figure to be reckoned with as no other, He was almost invincible, but he overstepped the bounds, He wanted more than the law of compensation could encompass. It is a natural law and therefore unbreakable, To-day he is done, In the high place of the Hohenzollerns is a lowly harness- maker—kibert, Of course, you may say, no com- pensation can pay for the ruined h the broken lives, the devas- tated cities, the deserted soll, We will ery aloud in our anguish for the lost treasures of the world and from the individual hurt that came home with such terrific force.

So may I say with Emerson: “Things refuse to be misma long.

Thus is the universe alive. Every secret is told, every crime is punished.

It's fool- ish to move this time of year, and it's Just as dear or dearer to live in the suburbs—and more lonely,” said Mrs. Jarr. “If you have any scheme or plan of that sort you might as well drop it.” “Well,” said Mr. Jarr, “the money we pay for rent would soon buy us a home of our own.” “It would, would it?” said Mrs. Jarr. “Well, I know better.
