Girls Out for an

Last night a party OF young ladies.
overtlowing with mirth, took it into
their heads to have some tun, SO they
dressed for the occasion and proceed
ed to snowfall everybody on Carson
street At the Arlington they took
a stand, where the snow had been
banked high. and the snowballs were
already made, and passers-by had lit
tie chance to escape their attacks.
Dignity stood no more chance than
youth and all were treated impartial
ly. Bill Maxwell took hand in the
game. and the girls soon gave him
all that was coming to him. A lot of
the younger men also joined the bail
to>sers and there was much ducking
in the snow and washing OF faces.
Judge Norcross also had his dose
and many others were surprised to
receive a big bunch OF snow in the
back OF the neck. For a while the
lobby OF he hotel was like beleag-
ucre| fortress, the men standing in the
doors and looking out. AS it got
colder the yourg people began to tire
OF the sport and went their several
ways, but first went down to call on
Professor Hamil and his bride and to
give them a taste of western hospital
ity. 1t was all a good natured affair
and everybody, including the victims,
enjoyed it.

To War With America German-Jap
Combination Is Possible Later On

Written by J. ". T. Mason Tor
the United Pres.
NEW YORK. Jan. IA warning
tu america to prepare for a probable
conflict with Japan is given by Lord
Northclitic in his copyright article
written Tor the United Press (ptrD-
lishcd in the Appeal yesterday when
he points out that Americas wealth
and defensclessncss will inevitably
persuade someone to come and take
what they want
Outwardly he wells his warning by
suggesting that "I.apanders" will be
tie invtlers, but he reveals his inner
meaning by suggesting that you can
change the words as you choose and
by describing an invasion of the Pa
ciiit coast
The seriousness of his warning i
emphasized by the possibility Of a
Teuton- Japanese understanding after
the war Such a situation may be
forccastcd by the fact that German
prisoners are being favored in Japan,
while it is reported from Toxic that
the Nipponese will not block the
kaiscr's efforts after the war to re-
gain Gcrmany's lost prestige in China.
Moreover, there is a growing dis
satisfaction in Great Britain over the
British alliance with Japan. Canada,
Australia and New Zealand are hos
tile to Oriental intimacies OF John
Bull, and these portions OF the Brit
ish empire are destined to have Il
wider influence in international poll
cics than they have had heretofore.
They oppose future pledges OF Brit
ain to support Japan in case she is
involved in war.
This colonial disapproval is prob
ably the reason why Great Britain
does not sanction having the Japan
cse fight with the other Allies in
Europe
The colonies doubtless will favor
an understanding with America over
japan, and Lord Northc'iffe has prob
ably sensed the feelings OF Great
Britain on this point
His warning may we'll be cryptic
prophecy that Japan and Germany
will be found together in new alli-
ancc in the future, with the United
States as their common enemy. Then
