BRIDGE PROJECTS FROM WAYNE LINE WEST READY JAN. 6 According to announcement today by Lawrence Lyons, director of the state highway commission, all bridge projects on the National road between Ihe Marion county corporation line and the west corporate line of Wayne county will be ready for vehicular traffic by Jan. 6. There are 13 bridge projects In this stretch of approximately 70 miles, the total cost of which Is about $125,000. The largest bridge on the route is the two arch concrete structure across Ulue River at the edge of Knightstown, opened to traffic Sept. 1. This

bridge cost $65,000 and the city of

Knightstown paid for ornamental lights installed on it. Eleven of the bridge projects on this road were built in 1921, Mr. Lyons says. In preparation of the completion of the National road across Indiana the highway department found it necessary to replace an old wooden bridge across Symond's Crock, one mile west of Dublin, which is closely linked with the pioneer history of our commonwealth. This structure was built in 1834 by the federal government then engaged in building the National road. f Plans Changed. Original plans called for a stone bridge but final estimates appeared prohibitive in cost and plans were changed to stone abutments and wooden structure. The stone was hauled in ox teams from quarries at Bedford, it necessitating three months for a team to make a round trip, according to records in the public library at Richmond. General John C. Milroy, superintendent of the eastern division of the Cumberland road, directed building this historic structure. Six of the new bridges to- be opened Jan. 6 are in Hancock county, and seven in Henry county. In order all bridges be ready for traffic on this date the highway department resorted to a unique method to lay a concrete floor in a steel bridge across Flatrock river near Lewisville. Large tarpaulins were swung from top to bottom of the bridge, and fires kept burning day and night in salamanders beneath the structure, to prevent the green concrete from freezing, and assuring the proper temperature until tbe concrete properly set. Director Lyons says the highway commission soon after the first of the year will receive proposals to close remaining gaps in the National road.

The Manchurian Question By FREDERICK J. HASKIN

FINDS TILE DRAINS WELL WORTH COST

COLUMBUS, O., Dec. 27. By putting in nearly 13 miles of tile drains on his 210-acre farm near Harrison, Hamilton coutny. Walter S. Wakefield

lias made his and better to live on and far more fit to farm. "The house and buildings are low," writes Mr. Wakefield to extension specialists of the Ohio State university who helped him plan his drain lines, "and we used to have great puddles of water all around the farmstead group in wet weather. In a twostory hog-house near the barns, the pigs had sometimes to climb upstairs in order to escape drowning. "First we put in a big 12-inch main from the building to a creek 1,300 fet away. This, with surface inlets, has taken care of all the flood water. We had to dig away intervening high spots, sometimes as much as nine feet above the general level, but it was well worth it. "This J 2-inch main has been used as an outlet for some 70,000 feet of lateral til lines which we have since installed to drain the whole 210 acres. "Such drainage costs money but it. pays. My neighbors feel the same way. Four of them have recently put in orders for their first, shipments of tile."

WASHINGTON, D. C, Dec. 27. With the four-power pact a settled thing, the case of China is now the chief business of the Washington conference. The most important phase of this case is the position of Japan in Manchuria, This will certainly be brought, up at the conference, and there will probably be a restatement of the open door policy of the United States, and of the fact that Manchuria is an integral part of China. It is timely to give a brief account

of how the Japanese hold in Manchuria was obtained, because it shows how a relatively defenseless nation like China can be plundered in spite of all treaties and agreements protecting her, and how the United States is involved in the situation by means of the Hay doctrine. - The penetration of Manchuria was begun t-y Imperial Russia in 1S95 in her effort to obtain new outlets to the sea. For this purpose she made a treaty with China which gave her the right to build the Siberian railway across Manchuria to Vladivostock. China reserved the right to purchase the railway in 36 years. The next step was the lease in 189S of Liao-Tung In southern Manchuria to Russia, and the building there of Port Arthur and Dalny. This was followed by an agreement for the extension of the Chinese Eastern Railway from Harbin to Port Arthur and Dalny.

Japan took over most of the Russian leases and concessions in Manchuria,

thereby gaining her present foothold

there. The Ports

ments with Cinna whicti impair

nese sovereignty or the open-door principle, and therefore Japan was bound to respect these two principles. Then came the World war. During this period Japan preceded to make a series of agreements with China and with the other powers which are generally regarded as having impaired both Ch'inese severeignty and the opendoor principle. These included the fa

mous 21 demands, the 1915 agreements obtaind from China by ultimatum, the secret agreements with the European allies by which Shantung passed to Japan from Germany, and additional agreements with China, in 1917 and 1 9 1 S with regard to Manchuria and Mongolia . By these means Japan obtained the extension of the Port Arthur and Oalny leases for 99 years, freedom of residence and travel and right to own land for Japanese in Manchuria, and

the extension of Sout h Manchuria j railway rights for 99 years. At the !

same time Japan increased her m

tary forces in Manchuria until rhe had, according to an official estimate, 70.000 troops there. j ! In addition to extracting these ad-j

it is charged that Japan has violated : Qi

the open door principle of equal trade ', opporunities in Manchuria in a num-:

cse, while other foreign traders are compelled to pay them. Japanese are said to have taken advantage of wartime censorship regulations to learn business secrets of foreign firms. American trade-marks are said to have been counterfeited by the Japanese with impunity.

All of these and many other abuses

no effective action to prevent it. This

Washington conference represents the first move toward such effective action. The attitude of the United States toward China is a curious mixture of high altruism and self-interest. This country has always professed friendship for China. It has not grabbed any Chinese territory. It forgave China the Boxer indemnity. On the other hand, our form of industrial organization, by which labor is made to produce more than it can buy, makes absolutely necessary the obtaining of foreign markets, and China is one of the greatest potential markets for American goods. Japan is rapidly undermining our trade in that market, while at the same time rendering ineffectual the attitude of protective friendlines toward China by which we have sought to foster it. In a word, the United States has reached a point where she must either enforce the Hay doctrine or else adopt an entirely different one. She might renounce all claim to influ3nce in the Orient, leaving Asia to the Asiatics a procedure which would be greatly appreciated by the Japanese. Or else she might engage with the other world powers in the deliberate exploitation of China under cover of a few meaningless professions of friendship. The industrial Interests of this country make the first procedure impossible. They want the Chinese markets. The traditional idealism of American people is against the second method. The American people will not stand for an obviously selfish policy. Hence the United States must try to enforce the Hay doctrine after it has been constantly violated for a quarter of a century. She must try to uproot evils in China which have taken deep root there, and which

the measure of her success.
