Paro Cabinet SMH Strong The Para cabinet appears to retain Us strength, ana it is Deiievcd it will survive tho impending session of the Japanese Diet, nt which relations be tween this country nnd America will be difcused. The correspondent of the Associated Press, who has just returned to Tokio from a visit of the many larger cities of the Far East, found some uneasiness regarding relations between Japan nnd the I'nltrd State. In well Informed circles these misgivings appeared to be based more upon whnt was described gi "Japan's resentment to nny Ameri can policy calculated to curb Japanese expansion in Asia" than upon the Cali fornia question. The latter problem, while touching Japan's natioiinl prestige nnd the interests of Japanese in America, is apparently not icgnrded with the same seriousness as 'the ques tion of Japan's vital interests near Nippon Solution of Problem Forecast On the contrary, it takes the vlp.w that the attitude of both the Tokio nnd Washington governments is based on confidence thot a solution for trouble lome mntters now in the foreground will be discovered. Japan's popular pro tests against California legislation ap pear to have been followed by an atti tude of patience nnd restraint. Cognizance is taken of the fact that America has encountered genuine diffi culties in finding n solution for the triple problem of satisfying popular opinion on the Pacific slope, serving America's national interests nnd meet ing Japan's desires. Efforts of the American state depart ment, through Ambassador Itolanil H. Morris, have profoundly impressed the Japanese with the fairness of the tinted States. Tor this reason the killing of I Lieutenant I.nngdon is genuinely re- ' l?rett(d here, because it is Deiievcd it t will have the efteet of reoneuinir tho fntlre question of Japanese military oc cupation ot Siberia, concerning which ' America has sent several protests to I Tokio 7 (..., J iW n EVENING PUBLIC LEDGER PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, JAJKUAJKY 17, 1921 15 TODAY'S MYSTERY STORY By PHILIP FItANCIB POWLAN Saturday's Mystery Solution TN THR case of "Quick Action" Hor-f-vey Hunt, knowing that he would not have tltnp lilmcnlf tn ..!, il, ...... ment for tho htddoi documents, hit Hixiii u iuan lor malting the woman re veal to him their hiding place. During her brief absence he had tine to upset nnd disarrange most of the furniture in the apartment. Then ho choe n point of vantage from which to watch her when she entered. Seeing tho room apparently empty, with every evidence of having been ransacked, both her reason nnd in stinct, in that startled moment, made her run to tho hiding place t. see if the intruder had found tho documents, hhe had concealed them by placing them between the folds of a newspaper lying openly on one of the window-sills. As she grabbed the pnper the docu ments fell out. nnd Harvey Hunt, step ping from his place of concealment, nnnrnnrlnfpfl (1mm K fAMA nn.i .in. parted, courteously hut swiftly, after i-iiiviiiK wie inuy or a wiCKeu liitio automatic.

It will take a bigger man than jou to stop me, Har vey Hunt." The man's self-contiol was perfect. Only tho steely glitter of his eye showed the malevolence the criminal in vestigator hod stirred in his soul. Hut Hancy Hunt onl chudklcd, as ho pared meditatively nt the ninn who snt oppo site him ill the Pullman. Peter Montr, had turned his nend and was staring out the window. Peter Mnntz was what might be de scribed as a "super-confidence" man. His business deals were marvels of cleverness. He lived on other men's losses. Hut his keen brain always piloted those schemes of his safelv through the tortuous channels of legal dishonesty. Just once he had slipped. That had been n year ago, and as fate hud it, it was Harvey Hunt, noting for certnin fleeced interests, who discovered his mistake. Mnntz lind escaped prosecution and convict Ion by iinkine .osMtntliin. W Harvey Hunt atill held the thrcnt of prison over his head, and finding him 'ip to his old tricks again, had given him his choice of mnklng restitution n second time nnd lenvlng town, or of facing n judge and Jury. And Hunt was escorting him part of tho way on his Journey, True to his word, Peter Mnnts was back in town within six months.
