Russian Newspaper Prints Alleged ... Secret Treaty Between Russia and Japan Against America

PETROGRAD. Thursday, Dec. 20. Under the heading "Secret Treaty Between Japan and Sussla for Joint Armed Demonstration Against America and Great Britain in the Far East," the Izvestia publishes what it says is the text of the secret treaty drawn up last year providing for joint action by Russia and Japan to prevent any third country from achieving political dominance in China. The treaty, dated July 3, 1916, runs for five years, automatically extending itself until a year after on party expresses the desire to annul it. It is signed by Sergius Sazonoff. then Russian foreign minister, and Viscount Montono, Japanese foreign minister. The treaty stipulates that "The

agreement shall remain a deep secret for all except for the contracting parties." It opens with the statement that it is designed to supplement and strengthen the secret treaties of 1907, 1910 and 1912. Article 1 is given as follows: "The contracting parties recognize that the Interests of either side demand the defense of China from political domination by any third power whatsoever cherishing hostile intentions toward Russia and Japan, and therefore undertake whenever circumstances necessitate to enter into open relations based on full confidence in order conjointly to take the necessary steps to prevent the advent in China of such a state of affairs."

LARNIN' HOW TO BE A SOLDIER

BY JOSEPH C. LINCOLN of The Vigilantes Caleb Rogers was wiping the glass of the cigar and tobacco showcase in his "grocery and general store" at Rogers Corners the other morning when Elnathan Higgins came in. There was a frown on Elnathan's face. "This country is goin' plumb to the dogs," he declared, with energy. "I just met Bethuel Ryder down the road and he told me that he see John Doane yesterday Congressman Doane our Representative to Washington, I mean and Doane told him there was talk of puttin through a law that would make every boy in this here United States spend at least a year right out of his life larnin' how to be a soldier. Think of it! And, not only that, but Doane told Bethuel he was thinkin' of votin' for it." Caleb nodded. "Um-hra," he said. "That's the bill for what they call Universal Military Trainin.' " Higgins snorted contempt. "Universal dum foolishness, I call it," he snarled. "I've got a boy, ain't I? ' Solve you, Caleb. In a couple of years they'll be through school. Ever since they've been born you and I have been workin' for 'em, feedin' 'em, givin' 'em

their education. Now, just when they're gettin' big enough to be of some use to us, them fool "Washin'ton fellers would butt in. Ain't my boy my boy? Don't he owe me " Caleb held up his hand. "Sshh!" he ordered. "Nate Higgins, it's high time you, and all the fellers like you, heard the plain truth. You say your boy owes you somethin". Maybe he does. But what do you and he both owe the country you live in, the country that gives your schools and your laws and the thousand and one chances you have to be a free man and a successful man, if the stuff's in you? You take everything the country'U give you, take it and ask for more. Didn't it ever run across your mind that you owed it somethin' in return? Do you cal'Iate this Universal Military Trainin means that Uncle Sam is hopin' for another war after this one's over? You bet he ain't! But he's plannin to fix it so that, with ten million trained young men not professional soldiers, no; but young Americans trained to be soldiers if they're needed he can say to a Kaiser or anybody else who's hankerin' for war; "Here's what I've got; try

And they wont

it on If you dare."

dare. "That's what we need in this country Americans. We've been' loafin' along, the average run of us, wavin' the Stars and Stripes on the Fourth of July and talkin about the United States bein' the world's meltin' pot and all that, never once stoppin to figger that maybe that meltin' pot wan't meltin' everything that went into it. We never once stopped to consider that there might be gangs come in anlongst us who'd make it their business to see that their kind didn't melt. And now, all at once, we wake up to find German-Americans who think German and talk German and act German; and Irish-Americans who hate England so hard they've forgotten to love the country that's givin' 'em a home; and Socialist-Americans that have decided to drop the 'American' and just keep the 'Socialist' part; and I. W. W.'s that hate everything, includin' work, and everybody that's got more than they have. "Well, thank God we have woke up, anyway, even if we've overslept longer'n we'd ought to. And now it's our business yours and mine much as anybody's, Nate to see that we don't sleep again. We've got to see that the nests of traitors are broken up and kept that way, that when a man or woman comes to the United States and takes a share of its privileges he or she takes the responsibilities, too. And, more than all, we've got to see that a child born in America is a real American, speakin' our language, readin' our history, thinkin' our way, ready to work with Uncle Sam, proud of what he stands for, ready to fight for him if it's necessary and trained to do it well. "The Universal Military Trainin bill is only one of the American Service bill3 that'll come up in Congress this year, I hope and trust. And I tell you, Nate Higgins, if you're a real, true citizen of your country, you'll not only on 'thinkin" of votin' for them bills, see that Congressman Doane keeps but that he does vote for 'em. And you and your boy will be glad of it and proud of It some day."
