EYES ON JAPAN.

"The Government at Toxic will act
energetically, but it is impossible TO
say in what way, it not being desired
TO have the enemy know anything
of its plans" Gen. Semba, of the
japanese army, is quoted in Rome
rs declaring in an interview regard
ing the situation in the Far East.
Viscount Motono, the japanese For
eign Minister, is also quoted as say
ing: should peace be actually
concluded" he continued, sit goes
without saying that Japan will take
steps Of the most decided, most ade-
quate character to meet the occa-
SION" Now that Russia has actually
undertaken to violate her agreement
with the allies and axe a separate
peace, interest centers on what
Japan will do.
II is quite likely that an invasion
by Japan will give the patriotic peo-
pie Of Russia the courage and OPP
portunity 70 attempt some sort Of
resistance and IL may not be long
before a divided Russia will be lined
up on both sides Of the war, the
factions fighting each other, one
backed by Japan and the other by
Germany. Although her plans are
being kept secret, Japan is from all
accounts ready TO act and when she
strikes she will strike hard.

PLANES WITH FOLDING WINGS.

- 80 -
In storing or sheltering the usual
airplane there is a tremendous
amount Of space wasted. This is due
to the fact that the airplane is
shaped like a II, with the wings rep
resenting the cross stroke and the
fuselage the stem. Efficiently
handled, the airplane should take up
but little more room than the stem
or fuselage space. At least, so has
the storage and sheltering problem
struck the British authorities; and
they have developed airplanes which
are provided with folding wings. We
note a type Of folding-wing seaplane
which as being used at a naval flying
school along the English coast. The
planes, which are hinged to the for
ward part of the fuselage, can be
swung back until they are alongside
the fuselage. The eleyating planes,
it will be noted, fit in between the
planes and the struts. All in all, the
folded seaplane can be accommo-
dated well within a space Of 10 by
80 feet, instead of the usual space Of
40 or more feet by 80 feet.-Scien-
tific American.

their fourth line Monday. The point
Of penetration was over a front Of
1900 meters and 10 a depth Of 600
meters, and $50 prisoners were taken

in their dugouts and bringing back
prisoners.

sBREAKING FAITH"
HITCHCOCK CHARGE
AGAINST BURLESON

Washington, Dec. 30.-Criticism Of
Postmaster Burlerson for taking over
the cables after the signing of the
armistice was renewed today in the
senate. Senator Hitchcock of Ne
braska, chairman of the foreign rela-
tions committee, precipitated the dis
cussion, after presenting a letter from
Burleson. in which the postmaster
general denied that he had exceeded
his authority, and asserted that the
order taking over the cables was
signed by the president November g.
Senator Hitchcock said the postmaster
general had come very CLOSE to break
ing faith with congress- Senator
Watson. Republican, of Indiana,
charged that the date of the order
originally had been fixed for Novem-
Der IA, but because the Armstice was
signed sooner than expected, 1t was
changed to November 2.

HUNGER AND ANARCHY.

Hunger rneans disorder. Disorder in Europe
means that our boys viii have to stay there Tor
a longer time. If Europe is fed, the people WIN
more quickly get back to normal peace comb
tons. That will mean that the Americans win
not be needed there to help put down uprisings
and police the countries that are IN state OF
unrest.
We can get our boys home by saving more
food. Shall we relax our efforts now3 They
want to come home. WIN the housewives do
anything to prevent it7 They viii delay it It
they think they can stop saving meat, fats,
sugar and wheat, with the coming Of peace.
The question Of food for Europe was one OF
the most important points discussed at the
council at Versailles, where the terms OF the
armistice we're drawn up for Germany to sign.
The representative of the United States said
that it was the wish of this country to help aid
the stricken people freed from the Austrian
yoke.
A typical American mother of a soldier
ought to say now:
81 want my boy to come home soon. can do
my part in getting him home if help feed the
people of Europe, for if they are fed that will
mean that they will have the strength and spirit
to settle their own affairs without the anarchy
that always comes when there is hunger. l
shall continue to save food at my table with
even more vigilance than have been using in
war time, because America has to send twenty
million tons of food. That is more than we
promised few months ago. when we thought
the war would continue
EDO we American mothers want our boys
home soon? Save food and follow the regula-
tions of the food administration, which will
serve the ccuntry's interests until the peace
terms nave been signed"

A FALSE PROPHET.

Frank Simonds, as inept political comment
ator as he was expert a war prophet, is telling
the country that the league of nations is par
allel to the Holy Alliance, which was formed by
the crowned heads of Europe after Napoleon's
defeat.
Simonds argues should follow the Sound
precedent" of the Congress of Vienna. This
precedent was to make peace with the enemy
first, and then, afterward, to discuss our inter-
national peace league.
Simonds lets slip the admission that this
Sound precedent" disastrous. The peace
which was made first of all, before the league
of nations was planned, didn't hold water. The
allies had to fight Napoleon all over again.
Simonds thirdly declares that the Holy ALI
ance-which he compares to a league of
nations-kept Europe in chains for more than
half century. 1t did. And, for that very
reason, it bears no relationship to the supposed
league of nations. The Holy Alliance was
league of kings, intended not to preserve peace
among the peoples, but to preserve the thrones
of emperors against the growing wave of lber-
alism.
Since Simonds himself admits that the Holy
Alliance cruel farce, it is hard to under
stand his holding it before his wide audience as
a sound precedent for the present peace con-
gress.
