READY TO REDUCE
Italy is ready to reduce her land
forces to a maximum of 180,000 troops
in the near future. France points out
the obligations arising from her, man
dates and the weakness of her east
ern frontiers and seeks more elasticity
on this subject...
The opinion was advanced "that Italy
may ask that France's figures in land
armaments may - be brought down to
her own, despite the fact that the two
nations fought side by side in the
world war as allies.
Italy may introduce the subject of
Russia in the ' conference. From a
source close to the Italian delegation,
it was said that" Italy may point out
the desirability of coming to a- more
definite agreement , on certain problems
involved in land disarmament in view
of the fact that such important mat-
jters as Germany and Russia are left
blank. ;

influence, to secure concessions and to
influence the seclusion of advisers, Ja
pan is only doing what other nations
have done. Her mistake Is in con
tinuing methods which the world has
outgrown. Japan may not have given
sufficient consideration to three factors
that have a controlling influence on
the situation. First, China is not what
she was a generation ago; she is a
republic, and her intellectual awaken
ing, though later, is scarcely less sur
prising than that which brought Jaoan
into pre-eminence as one of the gir-it
nations. The same forces that devel
oped .Japan are devrloping China.
CHRISTIANITY SPREADING.
Christianity is spreading in Japan
and the Government is giving promi
nent places to yo'ng men educated
under Christian influences. It will
be remembered th? the Government
j of the Chinese republic, at the very
beginning, called upon the Christians
ir. China to meet -ri their respective
churches and pray for the Government
and its officials.
Neither is it strange that the
Christians throughout the world should
feel an interest in the spread of the
Christian religion throughout China
and in the prominence given ' to Chi
nese Christians in the Government. In
both of these respects, China's posi
tion is quite different from what it
! was a generation ago.
Second, the world a attitude today is
different from what it- was twenty-five
jears ago or even tin years ago. Ger
many the most autocratic Government
in Europe, has become a republic, and
Austria, scarcely lesr autocratic than
Germany, has recently exiled a king
who tried to resume the throne. The
monarchies that remain are laying In
creasing emphasis upon the democratic
character of their governments. The
democratic sentiment is growing in
Japan.
Third, the reaction against war is
worldwide and that includes a reac
tion against warlike sniethods anywhere
and everywhere. What is the use of
scrapping the battleships if a battle
ship spirit is to rule tne world? Tho
spirit of war must be sunk with the
ships or the spirit vill call the ships
back again.
AN OPPORTUNITY.
China presents an opportunity for
the testing of the Jepth and strength
of the anti-war spirit. China has
J asked to be allowed, to work out her
destiny as a recognized world power
Why not? She must be admitted some
day; why not now? Japan is finding
that those who advise the substitu
tion of persuasion for force, and good
will for dictation, wish her well and
feel sure that Japan will profit m
every way by giving immediate assur
ance? of her desire to welcome China
as a neighbor and friend on terms
of equality. As China's nearest big
neighbor, Japan should be the first to
recognize and defend China's right to
equal treatment. She should be China's
"big brother," so to speak.
Japan has a chance to win the
admiration of the world and to for
ever silence those who misrepresent
her purpose, as some have done. Japan
can convert what seems to be a
stumbling block Into a stepping stone
t-. prestige and to moral power. China
cannot secure more than her rights;
Japan can win the praise that generos
ity always arouses and In this fcase
generosity is a rainbow with a real
sack of real gold at each end of it.

The first car cleared the grade

that a train was approaching rang.
The chauffeur of the mourner's car,
blinded by snow and deafened by the
howl of the wind, evidently did not
hear the warning.

AUSTRIAN PEACE
BEC0MESA FACT
Proclamation is Issued by
President Announcing
Ending of the War.
Washington, Nov. 19. President
Harding tonight issued a proclamation
of peace between the United States sand
Austria.
The President's peace proclamation
cites the joint resolution approved
March 3, 1921, by Congress terminating
the war, as authority for the procla
mation, and sets forth the peace treaty
between the United States and Austria,
signed on August 24, 1921, at Vienna,
and then declares:
"Now therefore, be it known that
I. Warren G. Harding, President of the
United States of America, hereby pro
claim that the war between the United
States and the Imperial and Koyal
Austro-Hungarian Government, which
was declared by the said resolution of
December 7, 1917, to exist, terminated
on July 2, 1921, and cause the said
treaty to be made public to the end
I that every article and clause thereof
may be observed and fulfilled with good
faith by the United States ana the
citizens thereof."
The proclamation was signed on No
vember 17.
The treaty with Austria provides that
the United States reserves to itself all
of the "rights, privileges, indemnities,
reparations and advantages" stipulated
in the Treaty of St. Germain, but the
United States is not held to any of the
obligations of this treaty or any por
tion of it which relates to the League
of Nations. The treaty has ' provisions
which specifically protect the rights of
the United States in the Austrian prop
erty seized during the war-

vices. The reports failed to say when
