brethren who started the advance

in the neighborhood of Vladivostol.
Knowing the limited capacity of
the Siberian railroad in eastern ex-
tremities to transport considerable
military forces and supplies with
speed and realizing the danger of
interruption of such traffic by hos
tile bolsheviki and German-officered
elements along the road in that part
OF Siberia, it is understood the Jap
anese general staff has planned to
strike directly at Lake Baikal, the
most important center of action on
the Siberian railroad.
To accomplish this. while the
first expeditionary forces which
may be landing at Vladivostok head
ed by General Otani, is operating
from there a considerable number of
Japanese troops already in Man.
churia and along the line of the rail-
road running northward from Dar-
len, formerly to Port Arthur, are
in a position to be speedily des-
patched to Harbin, whence they can
be forwarded westward to Lake
Baikal. or can be diverted eastward
ly to open up the section of the ST.
5erian railroad terminating at Vlad-
ivostok.
For military reasons, it is impos-
sible to even hint at the number of
troops that might be available for
such service but it is recalled that
in an address delivered last week,
Premier Terauchi stated Japan was
prepared to employ much larger
force than had been originally con-
templated in Siberia if it should be
necessary to check the activities of
the Austro-German prisoners and
elements under their control.

Let us not be deceived. There
are those that talk of peace with
Germany peace by agreement.
Happily such men are few. They
are cowards-physical, spiritless
towards. 1t cannot be said they
are ignorant, because wherever you
find one he is trained and in the
majority of cases proficient in the
German language and its classics.
They know the history of the race.
They know its religion and philoso-
phies.
These paragraphs permit of little
discussion of the German character.
The Prussian state religion can be
summarized in the trinity of Force,
Falsehood, Fraud" Peace by agree
ment means to accept Germany's
word. Germany promised Secretary
Lansing, with solemn assurances,
after the sinking of the Lusitania
that there would be no more de-
struction of neutral ships without
warning. Within month she sent
an American Red Cross vessel to the
bottom of the seas loaded with
nurses, food and medicine for the
sick and starving children of Bel
gium. Her list of broken pledges
would fill a page.
Germany started the war to win
by force and falsehood and fraud.
All of these principles to her in war
are super-normal. Today her fangs
are deep-set in the bleeding body of
France-our France, our brave and
heroic France. The gallant little
nation of the Belgians lies gasping
under the fiendish heel of Germany,
the fruit of forsaken faith. Daunt-

THE "OVERWORK"
DELUSION.

This season of the year brings a
big increase in the number OF peo-
pie whose health is impaired, as
they believe, by "overwork". a doc
tor to whom many OF these broken
down patients bring their troubles
declares that after careful question
ing, ne finds that virtually none OF
them work as hard as he does-and
he is in perfect health.
Why the difference? 1t rests on a
truth heard of often enough from
the preachers of sane living. and yet
never needed enough by the mass
of men and women. 1t is not work,
as this physician explains, that is
running his patients health. Work
itself hurts little. In fact, it hurts
people who are healthy in body and
mind, not at ally What hurts them
is worry, or over-eating, or over
indulgence in stimulants, OF all three
together.
Says the Duluth Herald:
people who keep their minds
clear and cool. who take things phi
losophically as they come; who dis
ciplinc their wills to look on the
cheerful side of things; who eat
what they need, proportioned TO
their physical activity; who take
stimulants not at all or. if they ever
do, never take them to whip their
tagging strengthened people can
do prodigious amount of work and
never dream of such a thing as
"overwork".
Healthy people-people who live
healthy lives and keep healthy minds
and order their lives inexorably
under tn, rule of a calm spirit, a
spirit that keeps superior to petty
annoyances and refuses to become
the slave OF numbing, paralyzing,
corrupting fears and worries-do
not know what 'overwork' means.
They can keep on till they are too
tired to go further, and then after
. nights sleep be up and ready for
another days eager and willing

LONDON, Nov. 25.-The british
press now fully accepts the view that
President Wilson is coming to Europe
to enforce the acceptance of his views
on the freedom Of the seas at the peace
conference.
Discussing this question in connec-
ton with the Presidents visit, the

ties at home and point out that he is
faced by a hostile majority both in the
House and the Senate, and that he is
opposed by the great body of Repub-
lican opinion. Sidney Brooks, in "The
Sunday Times" points out that how
ever big the President may look per-
sonally on the international horizon,
neither his opinions nor his fourteen
points carry more weight than the
Senate permits, for the Senate must
ratify the treaty.
The New York Tribune is widely
quoted on the subject at is for Brit
ain to write the laws of the seas if
she WILL" expresses the popular idea
here that Englands existence as an
island power depends upon her COM
manding the seas, while America as
great continent has no such need, and,
therefore, no right to dictate the sea
law.
"The Observer" says:
I'VE do not believe some of Presi-
dent Wilson's supporters in the New
York Democratic press accurately in
tcrpret his mind when they proclaim
with brusqueric the doctrine of the
freedom of the seas, which would
throw down fiat all the real securities
of the European allies, great and small,
in order to give Germany every pos
sible chance and temptation to wage
another war.
whatever the Presidents means in
this question he cannot mean that. A
doctrine of that kind is an insult to
the character and conscience of the
United States, and it is a desecration
of her dead in this war as we'll as ours
and all the Allied dead"

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-The first
units Of the American expeditionary
forces to return from overseas are ex-
pected to arrive in New York about the
end of the present week.
General March, chief of staff, an.
nounced tonight that 3S2 officers and

detachments which have been training
in England now are homeward bound
on the Minnekahda, Lapland and Orca,

Liverpool last Friday and the Orca
sailed on Saturday.
This announcement means that the
movement of the American troops now

in air service detachments, will con-
tinue steadily until all of them, some
10000, have returned to this country.
There are no regiments or other
units, such as brigades and divisions.
These will come from French ports, it
is assumed, as the British Gross Chan
mel service undoubtedly is completely
occupied with the transportation Of re
turning British forces.
