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? o 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. LOOKING BACKWARD (Frof The Chronicle, April 19, 1896.)

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." Thousands of Flemish people have FOR SALE Dry oak wood; old c'ak, $11.50. Second growth, $12.60. Deliv ered.

CLASSIFIED left the. country for ever, disgusted with official dilatorinoss. Those that 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 nouses such as they had before the war.
