JAPAN AROUSED.
(Peoria. M. Star.l

A sinister note comes from the
Japanese capital. Aroused TO white
heat over the destruction Of the Jap
anese liner. Yasaka Maru. by a sub
marine, the japanese people now
demand that japan plunge headlong
into the war and send an army to
aid the allies in Europe They de-
mand that the resources of the en-
pire be thrown into the scale on the
side of Russia, no matter what the
cost. and that Japan sign an agree
ment never 10 cease warfare until
Germany and Austria have both
been destroyed as national entities
and their territory divided among
the victorious allies. The japanese
are no pikers once their ire is
aroused. and the world has had am
pie evidence Of the manner in which
they can wage a war. Russia knows
il better than anyone else. 1t does
not now seem likely that ,the Jap
anese government will yield 10 the
clamor. but many unexpected things
have already happened in this war
One thing is certain. if the japanese
do decide TO send half million men

many will pay a heavy price for the
sinking OF the Yasaka Maru.

CIGARETS AND FIRES.
Editor News-Times:-

Editor \ews-Times:-
Some time ago / noticed in The
News-Times a statement to the effect
that fire was started by lighted
cigaret. carelessly thrown away.
Now. l am a cigaret smoker and L
remember at the time that / dis
cussed with friend the possibility
of this happening. l offered to bet
him that it couldn't be done and L
based my convention on the follow
ing incident:
The summer before last, two
friends and I were on a camping
trip. After smoking several cigarets
while out on jaunt one morning,
we got back around noon with only
one match left. In trying to light
a fire for our lunch that last match
went out. All I had was lighted
cigaret in my mouth.
put the lighted cigaret TO some
paper Nothing doing All the Gig
aret did was TO char the paper and
burn a hole in it which prevented
any such thing as a blaze. / tried
hard to make a blaze, but failed
each time. Then l applied the Gig
aret TO shavings, with even less
success. | simply couldn't get the
shavings to blaze.
After 1 had told my friend about
the above incident, he still felt skep-
teal. SO 1 asked him TO try il out
for himself. He did try it in the
dining room of his own home-but
the cigaret didn't start even the
tiniest blaze; the paper simply flick
cred a little and went out imme-
diately.
If any of the readers of The News
Times have any misgivings on this
score. just let them try 10 start a
blaze with a lighted cigaret.

1t is difficult to explain the COM
mon impulse to spread evil report.
Men and women alike indulge in
censorious discussion of their ac-
quaintances, and there hardly is a
conversation in which adverse com
ment will not be heard. Much of
this is harmless and resembles the
good-natured criticism which par
ents exchange concerning their chill
dren. Harsh remarks may have no
ill-will behind them.
But when this impulse to criticize
goes 10 its extreme, we find immeas-
urable woe as its product Ibsen.

the havoc wrought by a rash tell
tale who thought il was his duty
to destroy the happiness of three
lives by removing an illusion which
was working harm to no one.
If scandal Of the poison pen va
riety, deliberately sown to cause
trouble, confined itself TO the truth
il would be bad enough, because the
truth about the intimate personal
affairs of men and women is often
best submerged. but invaria bly, the
truth is not vicious enough, not eff
fective enough as a force of injury.
The malicious gossip is always a
bearer of false testimony.
One of the ten commandments re-
lates to the sin Of gossiping. Every
great moral teacher has recognized
its evils. No crime against property
is as deserving of punishment as the
crime against peace and confidence
and well-being committed by those
who rejoice to condemn by insinua-
