Japan Has Helped.

That is as soon as it is the common
desire of the allied powers.
"The United States has supplied
vast quantities of munitions to Russia.
Japan has also furnished great sup
plies This is all now in the docks at
Vladivostok All the allies must take
steps to keep this from falling into the
hands of Germany. Fortunately,
there has been no means of trans
port
The ambassador was asked whether
Japan is planning to send troops to
France in view of the German drive
in the west front. &.
From tactical point of view it is
impossible to send Japanese troops to
France" he replied. This is the view
of our military leaders. | am not
military expert, but they have told me
this. Scientifically and tactically we
cannot. 1t is because of the differ.
ence in climate and food and the lam
guage.
"You send American troops to
France, and they can eat the foods
produced there. Japanese must have
food. Their food could not
sustain the long voyage and it would
be rendered useless passing through
the tropics"
Ambassador Ishii and his party will
leave for Washington tomorrow after
noon. At the request of the ambassa.
dor there were no formal ceremonies
of reception. He was met on the
steamer by party of Japanese only.

uENiET AND SAN JACINTo
ARE ONE MASS RUINS


Hemet, Calf, April 21.-The towns
of Hemet and san Jacinto, which lies
north of here about two miles on the
same branch of the Atchison, Topeka
& santa Fe railroad, were both seri-
ously damaged by a severe earthquake
shock at $3.50 p. m. today. Every busl-
ness house in Hemet and in San
Jacinto was laid flat but only two
lives were lost.
The property damage here is estl-
mated at $250,000 by merchants and
property owners who suffered the
most loss. The San Jacinto damage
was estimated at a like sum.
The quake, which came with such
warning as was afforded by a brief
light shock lasting perhaps ten sec
onds. was the most severe ever eN-
perienced here. For thirty seconds the
buildings rocked and swayed and the
ground heaved so that persons stand
ing in the streets and fleeing from
their homes were even thrown from
their feet.
Walls Fall Down.
AS the ground tremors decreased,
tho walls of brick buildings in the
business section fell, some topping
into the streets, while others fell IN

Roofs creaked and groaned ana

sidewalks had started to go.

THE. HOPE OF THE WORLD
By HAROLD BELL WRIGHT.

THE hope of The world is not alone
that the armies of humanity will
be victorious, but that the spirit and
purpose of our warfare will prevail in
our victory The hope of the world
is in the Red Cross, because the Red
Cross is vocing this spirit and pur-
pose that must, through the force OF
our arms, triumph. Just to the de-
gree that we can evidence this Red
Cross spirit of mercy and brother
hood we will hold true in the dam
gerous hour of victory to the ideals
that have forced us into the trenches
in the defense of human rights and
human liberty.
The one sane and saving thought
in this delirium of death that now
possesses the world is the Red Cross.
Wherever the storms of battle
hell rage, amid the fires of ruthless
destruction, in trench and camp and
hospital, these soldiers of mercy with
heroism unsurpassed are carrying the
flag Of the highest conceivable ideals
of humanity. The ideals for which
our armies have taken the field are,
by these unarmed hosts, proclaimed
to friend and foe, in that unmistaka-
BILE language of universal mercy and
brotherhood In the terms of wasted
towns rebuilt, of broken humanity
salvaged, of dying children rescued,
of desolate families succored, the Red
Cross declares the cause for which we
war and proclaims the principles. and
ideals that must and will in the end
prevail. Above the thunder of the
guns, the roar of exploding mines,

the crash of fallen cities and the cries
of tortured humanity, the voice OF
the Red Cross carries clear and strong
the one message of hope to our war
burdened world.
The black horror of this worlds
crisis would be unbearable were it
not for the spirit and work of this
mighty force. The normal mind re-
fuses to contemplate the situation
without this saving power.
1t is the knowledge that in every
city, town and hamlet, men, women
and children are united in this work
OF declaring to the world, through
the Red Cross, our message of mercy
and brotherhood, that keeps our
hearts from sinking under the burden
of woe and sustains our faith in hui
man kind. 1t is the constant daily,
almost hourly touch with the Red
Cross work that is felt by every citi-
zen in the land, that inspires US with
courage and hope.
Out of this hell Of slaughter the
Red Cross will guide the warning ma
tons to a heaven of worldwide peace
and brotherhood.
Because it is the living expression
OF those ideals and principles in de-
fense of which we are giving our all
in lives and material wealth--because
on every field of death it is proclaim
ing its message of life-because it
keeps ever before us and the world
the cause for which we war--because
it will preserve us in the hour of our
victory from defeating ourselves-the
Red Cross is the hope of the world.
