UNITED STATES is
ONE OF THE NUMBER
Teutonic Powers Are Not in
List of Nations That
Are to Rule World

New York, Dec. 1. Baron Eiichi
Shibusawa, the Japanese inancier,
who is here today for short stay,
elaborated on his plan to maintain
peace after the war by six power
alliance comprising the United States
Great Britain, Russia, France Italy and
Japan. On his way to New York from
San Francisco the baron said he had
talked with many leading Americans
on methods of securing lasting peace.
One of the men with whom he discuss
ed the proposed six power plan was
Charles w. Eliot, president emeritus
of Harvard university.
Il will lay this plan before our lead
ing business and thinking men," said
the baron, "and will do all In my
power to make this idea take hold OF
public opinion, so that when peace
comes Japan may be in position to
ask the United States to enter the
six power alliance and induce other
nations to become associated. I am
of the opinion that when the time
comes for peace Americas influence
and weight will obtain peace that
will not be disturbed for many years
and a peace that will be for justice
and honor.
"In order to bring about this most
desirable result we must look princi-
pally to the people Of this great repub.
lie, and / am gratifled to know that
this matter is engaging serious con.
sideration among the leaders 'o1
thought and affairs in this country
Japan. / am convinced, will be ready
to do its part.
United, these two nations will be
able to do much in preventing the ~
currence of such disastrous calamities
to humanity in the future. From this
point of view also we thus see how i'm
portant it Is that there should be
friendship and good understanding be
tween Japan and the United States
In the development Of China after
the war, he sees perhaps the biggest
field for cooperation between this
country and America, because he says
the United States has capital, brains
and sense, while Japan is nearer the
Chinese empire, understands itl
people better, and racially Is NOR,
closely akin to them.

PARIS, Sept 2l.-EugeRe Blot
president of the French commercial
travellers association. says the condi-
ton of members of the association
at times almost desperate since the
war began, is rapidly improving
which means, he adds, that business
in general is on the upgrade. A
curious fact of this revival of trade
is that the biggest orders come from
the regions Immediately behind the
front
Half of the $4,000 members OF
the commercial travellers association
were mobolized; of the remaining
half a great many are still out OF
employment on account of temporary
or permanent discontinuance of bus
mess by their employers and it is
now proposed to send them abroad
to develop foreign trade
This is somewhat new for French
commercial travellers, who in the past
have been rarely seen in foreign mar
kets. The object in sending them Out
now is to let them get acquainted
with the ways Of merchants in other
countries.

A GOOD BREAKFAST
PUTS YOU IN TRIAI FOR THE
DAYS WORK.

When you feel lacking in energy,
the chances are YOU are not eating
the right food. Especially may this
be true Of the morning meal. There's
nothing like a good breakfast to give
you grip on the day'E work.
Too much meat is injurious. It
does not supply the proper food ele-
ments, besides being hard 10 digest
When hildren or groEn-ups seem
lacking in energy, put them on a diet
Of Oatmeal and fruit for a few morn
ings-and watch the result. Not only
will they be benefited but their
breakfasts will be twice as enjoyable.
But don't give them half-cooked
Oatmeal. Unless Oatmeal is properly
cooked, it is indigestible: and as you
probably know, it takes over two
hours to cook Oatmeal as it should
be cooked.
H-O Oatmeal can be thoroughly
cooked in twenty minutes because it
is steam-cooked for more than two
hours before it leaves the mill; and
all excessive moisture, hulls and meal
dust removed by an exclusive H-O
process.
Notice the rich color of H-o Oat-
meal as a result of this special pro-
cess. For sale by good groceHs ey-
erywhere.
