SOLDIER REFUSES
To KILL

One OF the strangest stories Of the
entire war is told by Il. Richard
Schayer, British soldier, who has
returned to the United States, his ma
tive country, after seven months ac'
tive service in France. In the De.
cember American Magazine Mr..
Schayer tells of meeting with a
French schoolmaster who told him
how one OF his assistant teachers
named Paul Savigny had refused to
kill at the behest of the French Gov.
eminent and had faced firing squad
in consequence.
When the war opened, said tho

!. S. May Clash
With Japan
Government at Toxic Is Reported to
Have Renewed Demands Which
Would Bar American
Commerce

Washington, Jan. 26.-Awaiting
confirmation from official sources as
a necessary preliminary to any action
by the United States, state depart
ment officials were interested today
in the report from London that the
Japanese government has revised all
the demands made on China included
in the famous group five of the list
Of proposals submitted to the Picking
government more than year ago for
a permanent settlement OF outstand-
ing issues between japan and China.
There is a conviction in official cir
cles here that any action at this time,
likely to have results toward warding
off the new japanese demands, must
be taken by the United States prac-
tically alone. With every evidence

1t is believed, none Of these powers
will be inclined to take Issue with
Japan at a moment when they are
leaning heavily upon their oriental al
ly, not only for munitions Of war but
for military and naval protection of
their interests in the orient.
The close study that has been made
in Washington of the proposals EN-.
bodied in group five, has only con-
firmed officials in their original belief
that If accepted in full by China with
out protest from other nations, they
would lead not only to material and

OF Japan.
While not prepared to make an is
sue on that point, however the state
department is convinced the other
provisions OF group five, finally would
close to American commerce and en-
terprise the open door in China.
It Is gathered from the British
newspaper advices that, in addition
to reviving the demands in group FIVE,
as they stood at the close of the ne
gotiations in Picking last January,
the Japanese proposals again include
provision aimed at budding Am
erican enterprise in Fukien province
and proposal to police all of the
large Chinese cities with Japanese.

LIFE AND FLOWERS

So much like life is a flower,

Where our loved one now is sleeping
Beneath the silent ground.
Decoration Day brings memories,

And with love we shall place flower
Upon each silent mound.

Sweetly kissed by the morning dew,
We return now as the flower,
When our work on earth is through.

THE DEARTH OF MEN
TEACHERS

The annual report of the Commits
sioner of Education of Massachusetts,
deplores the scarcity of men teach
ers. Normal schools for men are sug-
gested to encourage men to go into
teaching. This condition Is not cor
fined to Massachusetts. It is about
the same everywhere as far as the
lower school grades are concerned.
All educators deplore this tendency.
Yet what can school boards do? A
highly competent woman teacher can
be secured for $500 to $500 year
Many gifted women are teaching for
less than that. though it's not a bust.
ness proposition If they have to pay
board bills. But few men teachers
want to try to support a family on
$500 to $500 year.
There are still few places which
realize the value of men teachers in
lower grade work. They sometimes
pay the munihcent salary OF $1,000.

exponent Of such wasteful and use

There appeared little prospect to-
day OF post ponement OF the Teutonic
campaign. With this government
refusing to ask for delay. because
such a request might be construed
as partial recognition Of the German
decree, the administrators hopes
for postponement lay only in Am
bassador Bernstorff's informal sug
gestion last week that postpone
ment might be arranged.
After two days OF discord, con.
gress was preparing to relax from
the agitation for resolutions to warn
Americans OF armed ships. Flare
ups were expected, but serious at.
tempts TO pass a warning resolution
over the presidents head were tenn
porarily abandoned.
BY an administration parliamen.
tary movement. discussion in the
senate today of the Gore and Jones
resolutions was averted. Gore had
planned TO throw open the debate
on a motion by Chairman Stone, OF
the foreign relations committee. to
refer the Gore document to the com.
mittee. There was much specula-
ton over Stones sudden abandon
ment OF that plan late yesterday af-
ternoon. His action followed an In
formal but authoritative statement
from the White House that vote
would actually be welcomed. In the
belief that IL would result in defea,
OF administration opponents. In
stead of adjourning. however, the
senate recessed and prevented the
Gore resolution from being brought
up today.
Prominent house Democrats today
declared Speaker Clark and Leader
Kitchin were mistaken in their rep
reservations TO the president that

warning resolution.
\ course that might serve the pur'
pose OF both those favoring warning
and those opposed was suggested by
certain house leaders today.
They proposed that ihe president
give warning 10 Americans to avoid
armed ships, but at the same time
declare Americans we're within
their rights II they did not heed
the warning The administration
would then warn Germany that II
had taken all possible steps TO pro-
tect Americans. but that Germany
would still be held TO strict account
