WHAT'S BEHIND IT?
Japan In sarcastic notes to the state
.department of the United States has
emphatically refused to surrender
the island of Yap In the Paclfc over
which she was assigned mandate by
the supreme inter-allled council.
The United States has protested
the award, maintaining that although
she was not represented in tho peace
council duo to the refusal to ratlfv
the peace treaty and flic league of
nations covenant, she still reining
rights to the fruits of victory which
her army and navy made possible
Tho United States has further rep
resented to Japan that imiMmuch as
Yap is a strategical point in th- Tad
lie ocean, it should be international
ized, as a cable station, thus aiding
world communication.
Japan, according to the correspond
ence, not only defied the American
.protest against tho mandate over Yap
but has summarily rejected the pro
posol by the United 'States that even
if Yap should be assigned under the
mandate to Japan, all other powers
should havo free and unhampered ac
I cess to tho island for landing and op
eration of chbles.
The action of Japan of counso has
precipitated a crisis. What i!:iwi Jap
an plan to do?. It is evident that the
Japaneso government proposes to
hold Yap, excluding all other nations
therefrom. Why should Japan pro
pose to ozclude other nations, espec
ially tho United States?
Does Japan propose to use Yap as
a base of operation In some future,
say npalnst the United State i? .Wes
Japun plan to erect strong fortifica
tions on the Island?
It Is evident that Japan In secur
ing the Island doosn't propose to work
for world benefit, Tho Nipponese don't
propose to glvo landing and cable
rights to foreign nations. Apparently
Japan Is selfishly working to make
tho Island servo Japan tho world
not at all.
nioro'B ooen a good deal of talk
about an Impending war In which
the United Status should battle
against tho yellow men from across
the sea. The J a pun oho havo como to
this coast in veritable hordes, settling
hero and there, running our American
fnnnerB out of business and gaining
control of the richest and most valu
able land. Tho Japs wero enabled to
do this bt-causo of their low standards
of life mid tho fact that the Japaneso
man In the field Is hbkIh&I by his wlto
and by hid children, bo they ever so
weak, his children over so young,
We know that Japanese do not
mnko good citizens since they lower
tho wag and llrlng standard of
America. Their religion Is not our re
ligion, tlu-lr ideas are not western
Ideas, their Ideals are not our.
One ciue In point, They are Impe
rialistic, wo aro democratic, They hold
might tho great power, whereas we
hold right the greatest actuatiug
lorco In the world. Read the consti
tution ( of Japan and the constitution
ot tho United Suites, if you doubt
tlufco facts.
Hut enough. Every dweller In the
v it I . . I . i 'n . ... .
i fu.mu iuojii uiiiiin KiuiwB wio siury Ol
Japanese colonisation. Kvery dweller
knows bow the Jup has been unable
to mix with Americans, just as oil
and water will not mix.
There havo been Intimations that
the Japanese were coming to the
west coast in force in order in time
to convert the Pacific coast into a
suburb of Toklo. Persons addicted to
figures showed how this would be the
inevitable result. The islands of Jap
an are overcrowded now. Population
increases, enormous among the Jap
anese, are literally crowding hun
dreds of thousands into the sea or
across it to the United States, Japan
must have more land for Japanese. Is
the nation looking covetously to the
western seaboard of the United
"States?
While we have realized that the
coming of the Japanese had upset
economic and industrial standards in
America, we were loath to believe
that Japan contemplated a warlike
demonstration against this country.
But our puzzlement is vastly in
creased now. What means the bulldog
tenacity with which Japan clings to
the island of Yap? What means the
absolute refusal of Japan; to con
cede landing and cable rights 'to other
nations on the Key to the Pacific
over which Bhe rules?

MIS8ING.
Missing. The word holds a deal of
pathos. Gone. Where, no ono knows.
He just dropped out of sight and his
identity was lost forevermore. Some
times a man or a woman drops out
of sight deliberately to hide his or
her life to clear tho record and he
gin again amid new surroundings,
new friends as somebody else.
Others following the rainbow to ls
baso to claim the pot of god meet
with disaster far from home. Their
fatal misfortune is not-known by any
one who can tell loved ones what be
fell. Hones found under buildings, in des
ert wastes, in mountain fastnesses,
all tell a story of someone missing
someone who never came home. Per
haps to this day, someone, somewhere
awaits word anxiously.
The finding of human skeletons al
ways arousos Interest. The other d-iy
workers on the Columbia River high
way near the Deschutes, unearthed
six skeletons, apparently those of
white men and women. Their skulls
wero crushed and tho theory Is that
they wore set upon while thoy slept
and foi!lly done to deuth.
They were let He where they fell
or woro burled In a shallow grave to
hide tho ovldence of the crime. The
region In early days was Infested
with bandits who murdered It thoy
believed money could bo obtained
through snuffing out of a human life.
Jlut these six human beings, there
after, never wero heard of, It would
appoan They dropped out of sight.
They are missing.
The loved ones back home to this
day know not what befell. Perhaps
soma ono tonight wonders what be
came of Jim or Tom or Noll or Dotty.
Missing. The word holds a deal of
pathos. Gone. Where, no ono knows.
CRIMINAL WASTE.
Practically every human boing Is
criminally wasteful. Oh, you may save
and skimp and plim. You may spend
aa little as possible tuul squeeze tho
eagle until It screams In anguish. Hut
regardless of this, you, 10 chances
to one, are wasteful criminally
wasteful.
You are going this way only once.
You have but one life to live. It is a
short ono at Its longest. Yet scarcely)
a day passes that you da not waste
precious time out of it.
Iteliuutlon after hard work is not
waste, nut misdirected effort cer
tainly Is waste. It gets you nowhere,
accomplishes uothlng, And the sands
In tho hour glasa of your llfo are
falling, They cau never be reclaim
ed, No minute can be lived over.
You are criminally wasteful of yo ir
life when Inside you promptings pro
pel you to attempt some new venturo.
You are afraid to do to. The fact that
you delay doing, the taiag "jrou are
able to' do (the internal wra' prove
you have the power) indicates that
you are wasting talents which you
should be developing and devoting
to the good of mankind and your self.
How do you know that you have the
power just because you want tremen
dously to do something? Listen: God
never gave you Intense desire to do
something, a desire dearer than very
life, unless he gave you talent to do
that thing. God does not mock his
children.
And many of us are lazy. We slide
through life the easiest way. We do
not exert ourselves. W:e do not speed
up. Thus we are criminally wasting
our lives lives given to us that we,
'might make them count for some-J
thing.
Criminal waste most of us are
practicing it one way or another with
the most precious thing we have our
life.

FLANDERS FIELD8, CRADLE
OF SEPARATIST MOVEMENT
By R. H. Sheffield
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
BRUSSELS, (By mall.) The war
torn "fields of Flanders" have become
the cradle of a separatist .movement,
similar in some respects to Sinn
Felnlsm,
In this howling wilderness ot shell
torn battlefields, the Flemish peas
ants, a taciturn, undemonstrative
race, have come to hate the name of
government 1 i i H
I was through the desolation of
Flanders last week and talked with
half a dozen small holders whose life
work was snuffed out in the autumn
of 1914 and who have not regained
their feet yet, even though two years
and more have elapsed since the work
of reconstruction started.
These men explained the causes of
present discontent.
"No end of officials come around
and tell us they are going to see that
we are fixed up," one Flemish peas
ant declared. "iBut we have been liv
ing more than a year in ramshackle
huts that let in rain, and working all
day trying to got crops out of a field
full of shell holes and spent bullets.
Meanwhile we hold out our hand for
war compensation that never comes."

remain do so for very love of the soil.
Numbers of government huts have
been erected at. a cost of some thin:;
over $1,600 each. But the peasants do
not want huts; they want cottages or

war. Train service is unsatisfactory.
Here in Belgium it is the custom for
farmers to live in villages some miles
