The renewal or extension of the

men and organs attacked the treaty

to the defence or their respective and
spavined interests In the quarters
named. Each bound Itself to assist
the other 111 case of war over those
interests with more than. one power.
It was, In the words of Lord Lens -
donna., a treaty in support, of the
status quo In the far East, of peace
and the open door. "Our one ob-
ject," said Lord Lansdowne in a
parliamentary statement on the sub-
Ject not long since, "was to secure
peace and to restrict within the nar-
rowest possible compass the evils
which must arise whenever great
nations have recourse to the arbi-
trament of arras."
That the treaty contributed power-
fully toward the localization of the
Russo-Japanese war no one doebts,
but Lord Lansdowne, in a cautious
[pence to the "practical (mes-
on" whether England "should not
eek for some means of strengthen,-
eg" tho treaty, said significantly:
'If it :4110111C1 prove to be possible so
o 1110(111'y it that it would not only
prevent the spread of a conflagra-
tion, but prevent a conflagration
train taking place at all, I believe
that all true lovers of peace would
rejoice at such a consummation."
These and other authoritative utter-
ances warrant the inference that the
changes in the now treaty—signed or
to be signed—arc changes that will
make for ogeilibrium, equal oppor-
tunity and the maintenance of peace
In the far East.

Note—These Word Studies Etre bas-
ed on tho text of the Revised Ver-
sion.
Introductory.—The consensus or
opinion among modern biblicat
scholars of to -day is that the book
of Daniel, at least in its peesent
form, is of much later date than the
time of Daniel himself, dating prob-
ably from the early part of the sec-
ond century 33, 0. From the apo-
calyptic structure and content of tho
book it is inferred that the purpose
of the author was to bring a 11103"
801310 or consolation to his follow
countrymen in a time of sore trial
and persecution -under Antiochus
Epiphanes, Icing of Syria, about 168,-
105 B. 0. Daniel antl his three
friends are ideals of Coleltt5r to Je-
hovah and to truth under the most
trying circumstances. God honors
the loyalty of these men and grants
to Daniel prophetic visions touching
the ultimate redemption of his cho-
sen people.

remiud the student that the worth

Thinking to console her, Stokes
placed his non lovingly around her,

Though Australia le not irowerful

they would, use it, and declare war
against Germany, if fur no other
reason than that of milling the at-

Carollim Iolanda f31.0.1111111a.''

PITSUAL TRADING BIGHTS,
which tlermans enjoy in British ter-
ritories. in 1888 the Marshall Is-
lands wore handed oxen by the Cler-
man Government, under some kind
of a contract or chartor, to a Harri-
burg vompany, called the Jaluit
Company, which bad power to Im-
pose rotes arid taxes. The company
at once proceeded to secure for It-
self a 1001(01)013' of the trade of tho
islands. Even other German trad-
ers were squeezed out or absorbed,
Eind Aust 0e14a11 traders were. , met u clod
by exorbitant taxes and license fees,
amounting to a ditierential tax of
515 pl.,' ton mum the exports taken
by Australian vessels. Having thus
got rid of competition, the Jaluit
Company ',locoed/id to squeeze the
natives and reduced tho price they
received for their goods by 515 per
ton. This has enabled them to Ine
Vati0 other groups of islands under
British proteetion, anti to overbid
'British or Australian traders, who
have no reserve of artificially de-
preciated goods to fall hack upon.
The Australians complain that the
German reading, of the open door is
unfair 111 the extreme. 'rho Ger-
mans do not close tho cloor, but they
charge the Australian and British
troffers 515 per ton for passing
throngh it. Naturally Australian
trados have ceased to 02C1St• 011 th0

BERLIN APPEALED TO.
When Lord Lansdowne applied to
Berlin to have this wrong righted,
he WaS told that the duties com-
plaint -3d of were leveled equally upon
British and German ships, and that
therefore the convention had been
rigidly observed. The only Ger-
man ships, however, are the proper-
ty of the people who impose the
•
oci, the duties go out of one pocket
11110 011011101% Finally, the German
Government declared that while it
was under no legal obligation to al-
ter this arrangement, it would be
sorry to have any trouble about se
small an affair, and that it would
rovise the terms of the contract with
the Jetta Company. Being trans-
lated into plain English, this meant
that the German Government found
that the Australians wero planning(
retaliation. The colonies aro not as
long-sulTering and kind where their
Interests are concerned as the For-
eign Oflice at London, and regarded
the exeuse as adding insult to In-
jury.
11. is now announced that the re-
vised contract is to come into force
01 Ootober„ Ina up to the present
111110 the people of Australia who
are directly concerned' and directly
interested in the matter, since they
regard the Islands as having been
taken away from. 1110111 under the
guise of tench) treaties, have not
been able to find out anything re-
garding this revised contract with
the Jaluit Company.
