It was added that Great Ilrttnln had
he wMt te be selfish, though tin' highest
form of selfishness perhaps was doing
oed te ethers.
"The open deer in China is the best
method of creating prosperity for the
whole world." this Ilrltish authority
dtclnrcd. "Great Hrltuin's view is that
this can best be nttaiued by interim interim

Hull Construction Proposed
' Incidentally it was suggested that the
development of China might be greatly
forwarded by the construction of rail rail
ieacN vhlch also would help the ether
nations of the world iu their trade rela
tions with China.
It was indicated that Great Itritnln
would make no strong objection te the
relinquishment of AVel-IIai-'Wei or any
Other territory in China held upder Mmi
tt tenure. 'Wcl-IIai-Wcl had been
leased by Great Britain In 1SUS. It was
explained, nt the conclusion of the Chi-no-Japanese
War, when It was felt in
Europe that "China was breaking up"
ud there was some apprehension as te
the result, causing a hcrjmble by Itus
tuii France and sejdc ether nation te
let a foothold.
At present Wcl-Hni-Wei is said te
be regarded by the British as nothing
mere than n line summer resort and a
Jnlury anchorage for the British
fleet, without particular sttnteglc value.

easy te discover what the American
viewpoint may be en each specific ques
tion as it arises.
Virtually every nation represented
here, except the United Stntea, has
complete muchlnery for presenting its
viewpoint te the newspaper men. The
lespenslblc iendn of the foreign dele
gations de net seek te make their views
clear, but their technical aides assist
in clearing up questions difficult for n
Iiiymnn te understand.
Fer the Amcrlcnn viewpoint, Secre
tary Hughes Is the only authorized
spokesman. In etdinary times Mr.
Hughes sees the correspondents twice a
ucy. Under tlie sttess of his Confer
ence and ether duties, however, he has
been able since the Conference began
n week age te sec newspaper men only
en two occasions. It also is appaienl
that Mr. Hughes feels under some re
striction, due te his position ns chair
man of (lie International gathering,
which probably would net npply if he
were only head of the American dele
gation. TJic effect Is te make him less
willing te discuss In detail the Amcrl
can point of view.

I have used ns illustrations some of
the leading se-called independent wards.
In the Twenty-first Ward DT.'ll men
nnd 7(100 women, n total of 17.-10.'!, were,
according te the Assessors' list, eligible
te vote. Of these n few hundreds mere
thnn half registered for the primaries.
Registration is the crucial test in
Philadelphia politics. The list can be
taken as the barometric measure of the
people's interest. A low registration in
dicates lack- of interest en the pert of
me citizens.
In the Twenty-first Ward only half
of its eligible citizens were sufficiently
interested te register. Only half of
these voted nt the general election.
Concretely this, was about one-fourth
of all the people entitled te exercise the
franchise.
In the Twenty-second Ward there
were -n.ira) cllglbles. A total of 18,814
were women. Only 22,700 voters -nwn
nnd women registered, nnd about two
thirds of this number, or approximately
14.2e0, cast their votes. This was a
little mere than one-third of all these
assessed.
In the Thirty-fourth Ward 10,820
registered out of ;,r51 ; Jess than half.
Of these &S50 approximately, n few
hundred mere than ene-linlf of the reg
istratien, went te the polls. This Is
just nbeut one-fourth the total number
of voters In the ward
One of the best showings in the city

An illustration of the manner in
which tiie Combine carries its candidates
te victory was given me some years age
by the late Jehn Mlrdln. It was en
the eve of n primary Ih which the llnc.t
were clecly drawn. i
"The Organization is going te win,"
he said. "It'll net be because we have
get the most votes, hut because the Inde
pendents will net go te the polls. We
figure en that every time.
"If It's n cold or rainy day, they stay
at home. They'll lenf around and read
the paper in the evening; or If they be bo be
leng te the silk stocking clnss, they'll
sit in front of n fire with their velvet

"What's the Organization doing?
We're out pulling deer-bells nnd going
down Inte the alleys digging out out
votes, and it doesn't matter hew cold It
dents nnd the combine. It has 41,40.1
men and women eligible voters.
Almest one-half of Its cllglbles rcg
istcied. About three-quarters of these
voted last week, something mere than
one-third of the entire wnrd.

which thii Conference will leave her,
she will bring nbeut the erection of some
balance of power against her, n bnlance
which mav be disturbed by the emer
gence of Russia, whenever thnt takes
place. England und the United States
are co-operating generally, perhaps wltb
trance trylns te work in se close
te the United States as te be indis
pensable te us iu nutting pressure when
necessary upon England.
Offer Net Quite Altruistic
The United StutM 'naval plane is net
quite altruistic. It-favors the United
htutes In the matter of submarines and
destrnycis. It is perhaps necessarily
unfavorable te Japan In nircraft. It H
atitruistic about battle cruisers, but it
had te be. We haven't any and we
could net, in a plan te limit nrmti
ment, propose te build any.
The British, privately sheeting nt the
trench, but'liittliis us, say war under
water is just as dirty as war en the
surface. And It is true. The sub
marine', whatever it may be te us at a
distance from powerful neighbors, is net
a defensive weapon the world ever, ami
the Conference is ostensibly limiting
navies te defense.
But probably it is tee much te wish
thnt the horrid shadow of national self
interest and the faint gathering of
mists which may become war clouds
should net uppear In this peace gath
ering. Certainly Mr. Hughes would
tell us se, ami se would Mr. Harding.
All that the Americans seek te de is
te make war a little less likely nnd te
provide the means perhaps of making
it still mere less likely In the future.
The British express the hopes of
mankind with thut moderation which
makes them one of the great peoples
te fear.

with authority, "arc following out that

A Danger Signal Tender
and Bleeding Gums
Healthy teeth cannot live in diseased tissue. Gums tainted
with Pyorrhea are dangerously diseased. Fer net only the
teeth are affected, but Pyorrhea germs seep into the body,
lower its vitality and cause many ills.
Pyorrhea begins with tender and bleeding gums. Then the
gums recede, the teeth decay, loosen and fall out, or must be
extracted te rid the system of the poisonous germs that breed
in pockets about them.
Four out of five people ever forty have this disease. But
you need net have it. Visit your dentist often for teeth and
gum inspection. And keep Pyorrhea away by using Ferhan's
Fer the Gums.
Ferhan's Fer the Gums will prevent Pyorrhea or check
its progress if used in time and used consistently. Ordinary
dentifrices cannot de this. Ferhan's keeps the gums hard
and healthy, the teeth white and clean. If you have tender
or bleeding gums, start using it today.
Brush Your Teeth With Forhan's-Hew te Use It
Use it twice daily, year it, and year out. Wet your brush in cold
water, place a hnlf-inch of the refreshing, healing paste en it. then
brush your teeth up and down. Use a relhng motion te clean the
crevices. Brush the grindrng and back surfaces of the teeth. Massage
your gums with your !-orhan-ceated brush-gently at first until the
gums harden, then mere vigorously If the gums are very tender,
massage with the finger, instead of the brush If gum shrinkage has
already set m, use ferhan's according te directions, and consult a
dentist immediately for special treatment.
