Washington, June 6.-Japan has in
formed the Russian government that
if she withdraws from the war, ia
pan, in consultation with Britain, will
consider what measures to take. 1t
was indicated in a high diplomatic
quarter the two countries will eX-
change views with the United States.
The Russian Cabinet has been
warned a separate peace would make
Russia another Austria under German
domination and would almost be
equivalent to Russias aligning her
self with Germany.
The Provisional authorities, it is
declared. have been definitely won
over, and if they can stay in control
there will be no detection. The diff
Guilty lies with the ignorant masses,
who are for plumber and anarchy.
Virtually Threaten Russia
The Allies have not exhausted their
diplomatic resources in their efforts to
restrain Russia, but they have not re-
sorted to any other means. Diplo-
macy, however, has been made to i'm
ply warning amounting to a threat,
and while no definite course of action
has been decided upon in the event
Russia makes peace, the government
has been led to believe she would be
outlawed, restricted and possibly pun
ished.
Japan. according to a high authori-
ty, claims no interest in Europe, but
if she has forces to spare would rath-
or send them to the German front If
the situation appeared to threaten
Japan, however, she would be free to
take measures for her f-protection.

 ID EPISCOPAL CLERGY

NEW YORK, Jan. Success in obtaining pledges for S4.00O,000 to ward the S5.000,0O0 church pension fund being raised for Protestant Epis- copal clergy and their dependent fam lilies was announced here today by Bishop Wm. Lawrence of the New York fund committee.
 This great sum of money is the largest the church has ever raised in such a short time." Bishop Lawrence said. The campaign which began March 16, 1916, will end on March of this year. On that day the entire S5,00Q,000 must be in hand, otherwise we are not entitled to keep the four millions now pledged. We are confi- dent, however. that the extra $1,000.- 900 will be raised and that this pen sion system will be formally estab- lished to provide substantial life an- nuities for aged and disabled clergy men and the widows and dependent orphans of deceased clergy"

HOPE OF PEACE BELIEVED DYING

Continued From Page One)
 ''the overwhelming public sentiment and earnest desires of the people of the United States" that peace be brought about.
 It was stated emphatically that in making this move the United States had no intention Of urging neutral na tions to act, or to set on foot a move ment for an entente of neutral na tions.
 In explanation of this point it was stated that the primary purpose of the Presidents note to the belligerents was to clear the atmosphere on the big question relating to the war and that in this connection the American government thought it would be help full if the opinion of neutrals as well as the belligerents were explained.
 It was reiterated that President Will son and Secretary Lansing did not look upon the American note to the belligerents primarily as a peace note. One reason for interest in actions of other neutrals is the realization that while the United States will act alone if it finds it necessary later to take any drastic action in defense of its rights. the other neutrals also have suffered seriously. The President be lieves too. that after the present war all nations should combine in some way to minimize the chances of an other such conflict.
 Administration officials are admit tedly concerned over efforts to make the action of this government appear as directed against the entente allies and in favor of the central powers. They do not think it necessary. how ever. to make any further explanation.
 The state department is keeping in touch with official sentiment amone the entente allies and the central powers.
 As soon as the reply of the entente is received. President Wilson is ex pected to address anOtber cOmmuGica- ton making clear his position. and probably clearing up some misconcep- tions which he feels have developed. It may be stated that he will not seek @ force peace on either side. but will continue 10 insist that the rights of the United States be thoroughly re- spected.

(By Review Leased wire)

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-Members of congress were returning to Wash ington tonight from their Christmas holiday, prepf red to get down ot hard work on the ecumulation of legisla- tion that mus be dealt with before adjournment ou March 4
 With railroad legislation and reven- ue deficits confronting them as un- usual issues, the rank and file are de- termine dto labor with will to clear the way of routine business, particu- larl; the appropriation bills, which must be completed before the actual revenue needs can be definitely estab- lished. Estimates on all these meas ures, including especially the extra heavy ramy and navy supply bills, are in hand. giving the house ways and means committee enough information upon which to frame revenue legisla- tion.

 The navy bill probably will be the first taken up while various commit tees are engaged in paving the way for consideration of railroad measures, a corrupt practices bill and other gen eral legislation. The House. which al ready has passed five appropriation bills, still has nine more to work out and will approach that task vigorously with night sessions in prospect for the near future.
 Returning members who were re elected, do not look with favor on the talk of an extra session and declare they are willing to work night and day to avert one. They insist that none will be necessary unless action by con- gross on the railroad legislation pro posed by the President should be held up. Even in that event, all are not satisfied that the President would call an extra session for this purpose.

arbitrary or distatorial interference with the rights of others. Organized capital and organized labor must know that in the end each must be brought into harmony witn the other and the interest of the general pub lie: and the conduct Of each must con form to the fundamental rules of obedience to the law. of individual freedom, and of justice and fair deal ing to all. Every employee. every wage-worker, must be guaranteed his liberty and his right to do as he likes with his property or his labor, so long as he does not infringe upon the rights of others.
 Class Prejudice Injurious
 It is of utmost importance that em- pluyer and employee should endeavor to appreciate each the viewpoint of the other and the ultimate disastrous result if either constantly maintains ar attitude of hostility and distrust. Class prejudice is more injurious and destructive to industrial and social welfare than sectional, racial or re- iigious animosity. We can get good government and enjoy prosperity and contentment only upon condition that we keep true to the principles upon which this nation was founded, and judge each man upon his individual merits and not as part of class. It should be understood by all that the only attractive field for business in vestment, honest labor and a content cd people is where law is the rule of conduct and where courts. not mobs, execute it's mandates. So far as the Constitutional powers of the State re- late to those matters of general and vital moment to the welfare of the State, they should be exercised in con formity with the principles herein set forth
 Sscredness of the Ballet
 Recent events. wherein public se- rurity is threatened, compel me to re- fer to the scarcity of the ballot-box The first condition and obligation of good citizenship is to promote and demand honorable methods with the suffrage. The man who has come to regard the ballot-box as a juggler's rat has renounced his allegiance. A party success, that is achieved by un- fair methods or by practices that par take of revolution, is hurtful and tran sitory, even from party standpoint. We should hold our differing opinions in mutual respect, and, having submit ted them to the arbitrament of the ballot. should accept an adverse judgement with the same respect that we would have demanded of our oppo- 1ents if the decision had been more in our favor. No political party can long pursue advantage at the expense )f public honor, or by rude and in- decent methods, without protest and fatal dissatisfaction in it's own body.
 Arizona's Heritage
 We, as people, have government worthy of our full respect and affect ion, domain magnificent in extent, good to look upon, a place for happy homes and full of generous sugges- lions to enterprise and labor. God las placed upon our hand a crown of wonderful sunlight, and has laid at our feet wealth beyond calculation. Let us not forget that We take these gifts upon the condition that justice and mercy shall hold the reins of power, and that our upward progress in every avenue of hope shall be free o all the people.
