BaIfour's Views Of Austrian Proposal

London. Sept. 16.-A. J. Balfour, the
British foreign secretary, giving his
personal opinion on the Austrian peace
note said:
1T IL incredible that anything can
come OF this proposal
Coming after the recent speech of
Frederick Won Payer. the German i'm
perial vice chancellor. Mr.. Ba3four said
this cynical proposal OF the Austrian
government IL not q genuine attempt
to obtain peace. It is an attempt to
divide the allies.
'I can not honestly lathe proposals
now made to US. as have been able
to study them, see the slightest hope
that the goal that we desire-the goal
Of peace, which shall be more than
trce-can really be attained
The foreign secretary said ne, was
utterly unable to see that = conference
proposed by Austria would have the
desired end.

son, William D. now successor to his
father in business, and one daughter,

lard OF Manning with us at this meet
ing.
There were not as many members
present as we would liked to have had
as the date of the meeting was not
generally known.
The meeting was called to order by
the President, Mrs. J. 3. Brogdon. At
ter singing "My Country, 'Tis of Thee,
and God Bless our Men," we had the
Lords prayer in consert. The roll call
was responded to with quotations. The
minutes of the last meeting were read
and approved.
The meeting was then turned over
to Miss Richardson. She told us about
Field Day and asked each member of
the Club to be present and take part
in the parade. She said it was to be
a Patriotic Meeting and asked that we
have as many Flags as possible.
We were then asked to the dining
room and Miss Katherine Richardson
gave us a very interesting and in
structive lesson from the bulletin,

or Cen. Fcch's powers. The Austrian
drive still nenaccs Italy. Adviccs re-
cclved BY the italian embassy here to-
day tell of continuing concentrations
Of Austrian forces. The Italians be-
; lievc that a blow will be launched at
their lines as soon as the weather in
the mountains at it's western end per
inlts the free movement of troops and
guns.
But the Italian confidence is par
ticularly high that there will be no re-
petition of the Isonzo disaster. The
close coordination of the allied armies
with those Of Italy, brought about
through the extension of Gen. Foch's
powers, has made such an event i'm
possible, the Italians believe. They de-
clare that if Gen. F'och should de-
termlne that Italy viii have to meet
the Austrian assault alone, Italy will
40 so. If, on the other hand, his in
formation indicates that they will need
some of their own reserves placed
under Gen. Foch's disposal in Frnacc,
they will get them promptly. They be-
lieve that under the new scheme Of
command they will get further rein
forcemcnts Of French or British troops
with equal promptness.

JUNIOR RED CROSS TAKES
over ARMY OF RELIEF

Harvey d. Gibson, General Manager
OF the American Red Cross, announced
this week that the Junior Red Cross
organization has endorsed and taken
over the Children Of America Army OF
Relief, and that henceforward the
work Of this latter organization will
be carried on by the Junior Red Cross
The transfer OF funds took place on
March End, $4,000 being given over
to the Junior Red Cross to be devoted
to child welfare work abroad, and the
Army OF Relief will cease to solicit
funds. All Army OF Relief members
are now eligible for membership IN
Junior Red Cross auxiliaries, and
Chapter School committees are author
lied to incorporate them in schools
that are not already enrolled as Junior
nnits Or to incorporate all Army of Re.
lief members in their territory as a
single Junior Auxiliary.

China, also in close geographical pro-
ninquity and therefore just as endan-
gered as Japan, has not beee nconsl1It-
ed in intervention plans. She has, how
ever, taken the initiative in planning
possible action should the consensus
of opinion decree that intervention is
advisable and stands ready to do her
part with the other powers But this
does not alter the fact that her very
real interest has not been recognized.
Even should Japan act as England's
ally and not in the interests Of the CO.
belllgerentS as whole her action
might be ascribed to selfish motives
not on ly by China but by many fair
minded foreigners.
Add to the reason OF contiguitv the
fact that that bone of contention, the
Siberian railway, lies in Chinese terri
tory between Manchuli and the East,
and that China holds the fee simple of
this railway under the terms of the
Chinese Eastern Railway agreement
between China ani Russia and will re-
cover entire Possession within a few
years, and it seems obvious that Chi
mas interest in this territory must be
greater than that Of Japan. The ter
ritory involved in Japan's immediate
plans, the Okhotsk, the Amur district
and eastern Siberia as a whole is Il
rich region of millions of acres of soil
scarcely scratched, of undevcIopod
mines, of few inhabitants and eouablc
climate. There is no doubt that ia
pans proposed campaign, whether in
noccnt motives of self-aegrandize-
ment or not, would be regarded with
suspicious eyes.

Is PlCARDY ANOTHER VERDUN i?

Washington, While believing that
fighting Of the most desperate nature
will continue for weeks in the present
locality of the conflict of the west
ern front, allied officers on duty here
are CONVINCED that the battle of Pi-
cardy spells another Verdun for the
German legions.
American staff officers admit that
shere is grave menace to Amiens and
the Amlcn<-Paris railroad in the
present position of the German arm
les. But they declare their faith in
khr ability of the allied forces to re-

Most Critical Point of Line
0Hiccrs here regard the most criti-

Of tfie :SOnInIc, where the Germans
are ncarcst--only two miles away
to the Paris Amiens railroad But
AZ this paint the Germans themselves
are in tactical position worse than
almost any other on the whole battle
front.
Their advanced positions at this
point are reported to ue between the
Avre river and the railway embank-
mcnt. They are cxpo~cd to grlling
gunflre, and if attacked would be in
an almost hopeless condition for de-
fcnse.
The possibilities Of a French retreat
south Of the Disc are limited by the
point at which the battle line crosses

CHINA'S INTEREST
~ SIRERi 4

Japan's proposal to enter Siberia in
the interests of the Allies is arousing
much discussion in the public press,
and with reason, for Far Eastern de-
vclopmcnts in the great war are bound
to have preaching effects in future
international relations. Japan's
spokcsmcn in this country, and the
generous minded, point to her Sibcri-
an plans as not only justifiabe
means Of self-protection, but as an
earnest Of her sincerity in wishing to
DO her bit in the war Those familiar
with Japan's record Of dealing with
her Far Eastern ncighbors and her
four years history as an ally are not
so sanguinc: With her well-trained
army, her efficient navy, and the
wealth which the war has hcapcd in
to her lap, Japan may have reason to
style herself the guardian Of peace in
the Far East; she may rightly protest
the advance of the enemy into contig-
uous territory if that advance prom
ises to prove a menace to her own
safety and the prosperity of her fu-
ture trade. There is every reason why
Japan should be aroused by the situa-
tion; but there is grave question as to
the wisdom either Of her entering ST.
IBERIA alone, or entering Siberia at all.
1t is rather curious fact and sig
nificant to Chinese minds, that in all
