The Race for Sympathy
11 J"ANY of the leaders of modern China and Japan are
Trained in western universities they have returned to the
homeland and have become spokesmen for their countries.
Naturally these are the ones called to make their national
appeals to the Occident, particularly to the United States
which both sides look to as more or less the arbiter of orien
tal difficulties.
'. Thus it is that Yosuke Matsuoka, Oregon educated, chief
delegate of Japan at the league of nations, has made for his
country, an eloquent appeal for support and against any war
between .this country and his. His address to the American
people given on the eve of his departure from Europe to the
United States where he will visit again in Portland and Eu
gene, embraced the following:
"The United States and Japan have an important mission to
fulfill for the sake of humanity in building up the coming era
of Pacific civilization, in which the east and west will unite In
peace for the first time la history.
"Paradoxical as the statement may seem at the present
time, Japan is and must continue to be a friend of China. To
the United States, friendship for the sentiment; you have no
vital Interests In China. To Japan, on the other hand, the wel
fare, security and progress of China, is essential.
"There is no cause for war between the United States and
Japan. Such a thing would be an act of madness. There can
be no war between our countries unless the United States makes
it, and I know your country will not do that. What could you
achieve by war? Nothing but the satisfaction of shedding Jap
anese blood. Tou don't want that."
The following day came the plea of Dr. V. W. Welling
ton Koo, likewise a product of western schools who urges
international action to prevent Japan from obtaining mas
tery of the Pacific Dr. Koo is the Chinese delegate to the
league f. nations ; and he scores Japan roundly for treaty
violation saying :
"Japan's complete disregard of her treaty obligations to the
United States and the league member states, her continued de
fiance of the International verdict of 'guilty' and her studied in
difference to world opinion, are making it abundantly clear that
she proposes to stop at nothing In the prosecution of her ultra
nationaltlstlc policy. Japan is already menacing the life of Chi
na; she will menace that ot the United States.
"The danger is growing dally. In the interests of the new
order ot international life and for the peace and security ot the
Pacific nations, this danger must be arrested. And it cannot be
arrested except by common and united international action.
"China Is bearing the brunt of the Japanese onslaught on
world peace. For seventeen months, she has been sacrificing
tens of thousands of lives, hundreds ot millions of dollars worth
ot property, whole cities and provinces. This sacrifice is made
in order to shield the new structure for peace and security from
Ignominious demolition, as weU as to protect Chinese territory
against foreign Invasion.
"In this great defensive 'war China is entitled to the mor
al, diplomatic and economic support of mil those powers whose
signatures are to be found in the Washington treaties, the cove
nant to the League ot Nations, and the Kellogg-Briand anti-war
pact." . . ,
The purpose of the two appeals is very plain : to array
public opinion in the United States on one side or the other.
Japan wants to have a free hand in dealing with China. The
latter makes cries for help by trying to frighten us over Jap
anese aspirations. , ...

Progress in penology:
e
For long years, the writer has
contended for reforms ia penology
and criminology; for the absolute
ly indeterminate sentence; for
universal parole, or rather for the
possibility ot parole being made
binding to the limit; for the full
support of innocent victims on the-
outside; for work and wages and
training tor rehabuitatlon of all
inmates of prisons.
V
In all these things there has
been progress in the upper brack
ets of administrators of punitive
laws, and a uttle advance ia pub
lic opinion though it must be ad
mitted that the Utter has been ot
distressingly slow growth.
S S
For some years, the writer has
been a sort ot lone wolf in advo
cating the training ot all persons
engaged in the administration of
penal laws, from the policeman on
his beat or the constable in bis
precinct to the judges in all the
courts, from the lowest to the
highest.

stared more than seemed absolute

and was unconscious of. the tact,

"That's splendid.
' Jess found herself kneeling
dor one of the cedars, and snipping
away at a bale of ealico with a jpair
of bright new scissors. But her eyes
wandered away toward John
Wolfe. He was standing taDdng to
Ursula Brandon where the steps
led up from the lawns to the ter
race. The massed colours of the
well-watered flowers In the borders
raised a broad background of rose
and of gold. Beyond stood the
warm, red-walled house, mellow,
stately, suetin; aloofness aad
some awe to Jess's eyes.
They were talking like Intimate

don showed animation, fire, reflect.

Jess had a sudden. Queer, lost feel
tug at the heart. She sat back on
her heels, watching, forgetting her
scissors and the roll of white stuff
before her. She discovered the de
sire that John Wolfe should leave
Mrs. Ursula Brandon and come and
talk to her, even if only for a mo
ment.
Presently he came. Jess knelt
there at his feet, not looking up,
her dark lashes making shadows
on her cheeks, her scissors busy.
"When are we te go to the hos
pital, John!"
"Has she done aU this I "

A cynic could have amused him
self by walking about Navestock
and watching the remarkable una
nimity with which the people of
the upper middle-class decided that
they needed a change of air. The
"White Hart" coach and all the
wagons in the town were kept busy,
carrying the fugitives to Wanning-
ton station. The Wflks family was
one of the first to leave, the young
ladies pressing seented handker
chiefs to their noses, and old WUks,
the squirrel, nibbling at the daily
paper. Miss Perfrement was borne
off, scattering "heart attacks" like
handbills along the road. The Tur-
reEs went to Scotland. Johnson, the
wine merchant, departed for Tar
mouth, taking his daughters and
his parrot with him, the bird perched
in its eago oa the top of the
cab, shouting; "Monte, Monte" out

Threadgold was dazed, but his man
ner went on working, and persisted
ia ottering the same pompous
platitudes.
The people In the river alleys
were brutally ignorant and tenor-
antly stubborn. The stultifying
stupidity of the town threatened
Wolfe's hospital scheme from the
very first. The marquees and tents
were pitched, the uttle improvised
beds ready, the volunteers at their
posts. The difficulty lay in getting
the sick children. Stupid affection.
sheer obstinacy, Ignorant prejudice
made many of the cottagers refuse
to let the youngsters be taken
away.
"Yon be wanting to cut '
about. I know ye."
That was what one poor woman
threw in John Wolfe's face.
Compassion made him patient.
He and Robert Fie naming went
from house to house, arguing,
pleading scolding. Wolfe began to
grow fierce with some of the fools.
Many of them would not let the
children go, and would not feed
them properly when, they kept
them. With the co-operation of
some of the farmers, Wolfe had
arranged to have fresh country
milk distributed for the use of the
sick. It wasvimperative that .those
who were ill should have no solid
food. And again and again Wolfe
caught them feeding the young
sters on such stuff as bacon and
stewed cabbage.
Ursula Brandon was watchlnr
Jess tending a sick little boy in the
marquee hospital.
"I think she is about the best
nurse I have," Ursula told Dr.
Wolfe.
"Plenty ef pluck. X suppose she
eats and sleeps properly t"
"Yes. I see to that: I am very
imperious."
"We should never have been able
te manage this without you."
Wolfe saw Jess alone for a few
minutes before he left.
"An right,-Jess t"
"Yes, quite."
"Absolutely sure 7"
"Shall I put my tongue out.

He flipped her cheek.

deaths were like the taking down
of famous tavern signs. Hubbard
died ta his sleep; Johnson in the
fall wakefulness of blasphemous
terror. Robert FUmming had look
ed grey and tired when he had come
away from Johnson's bedside.

and patient people began to realize
that this pest might not hart

the landlords chosen to do what thi
doctor had advised. Money, yes!
It would have cost a deal of money!
The talk in the ale-house and stt
the doorways became cynical ana
bitter.
September brought rain. Dt
Wolfe, riding back over Taxiing
Moor with a storm racing up, saw
Ursula Brandon's hospital white aa
newly-washed linen spread out oa
a bank to dry. The sunlight shone
on it, but even as Wolf watched,
the edge of a storm cloud covered
the sun, A great hand might have
flung a dark net ever Navestock.
The glamour went. A wind came
over the moor. Rain began to fan.
The drops were rattling oa the
flapping canvas of the marquees
and tents before Wolfe reached the
hospital. Most of the children were
asleep. In the big marquee two
nurses were talking together in
whispers.
"How are things getting oa?"
"Very well ia here, doctor. Mist

"I dont think she is quite her

"Of course she pretends. Bui

Wolfe went striding round the
tent pegs with a word of thanks
to the nurses. In No. S Jess was
bending ever a bed and settling- as
ice-bag against the shaven head oJ
a child of seven. There was a list
lessness about her movements, aa
apathy that could not be concealed.
Wolfe came to the doorway in
time to see Jess step back from
the bed with a little tragic gesture.
-on, bother my head."
Then she turned and saw him.
A kind of guilty flush went ever
her face, for there wss something
in John Wolfe's eyes that fright
en ea ner.
"Why, John! Do come and look;
think Jennie is volar to null
through."
He came Into the tent, studvinr
her with the searching glance of a
man who was afraid to see that
tor which he looked.
"You're not weU, Jess."
The sparkle had gone out of her.
"It Is only a headache. I dont
mind so long as the child pulls
through. Come and look at her.

Wolfe Ignored the child oa the
bed. He went to Jess, and stood
over her, intent almost to flerce-
