WILL SAVE VAST SUPPLIES
War Party Stirs Tokyo For Apparent
Laxity In Not Assuming Larger
Part In World Strife.

Neutrality-suspicious. has directed in
quiries to the Entente Powers and the
United States Government to test their
feeling toward a proposal to institute
joint military operations in Siberia to
save the vast quantities of war sup
plies stored at Vladivostok and along
the Siberian railroad. Criticism at
home of the failure of Japan to play
larger part in the war is said to have
been influential in bringing about the
negotiations. Officials here refuse to
discuss this subject for publication,
but it is understood that so far as
America is concerned the proposition
when first broached was not wholly
acceptable, though the exchanges on
the subject, which still are in progress,
may result in modifying the Govern
ments attitude.

these enlarged demands being caused

JAPAN TO ACT IN FAR EAST
Allies Said To Have Asked Japanese
To Take Action in
Russia.

London. According to the Daily
Mail it is understood the allies have
decided to ask the Japanese to take
any steps necessary for the protection
of the allies in the far East. Stress IS
laid on the fact that the British and
Japanese Governments hold that ia
pans intervention in the Russian af-
fairs is not to be construed as an act
of hostility to Russia, or the Russian
Government. Its purpose is to safe
guard menaced allied interests and to
protect stores and munitions at Vladi-
vostock and to assist Russia to tighten
and eventually lift the burden of the
German yoke.

Lindley Murray.

Llndley Murray was a noted Anglo
American grammarian, who lived from
1745 to 1926. He was born at Swa-
tara, Pa. In 1884, at the age of thirty.
nine years, he settled in England, and
1t was there that he compiled and pub
lished his English grammar and Eng
lish spelling book that gave him con-
siderable prominence in his own time
and for which he is remembered today.
For many years these were the text
books used in the majority Of English
schools. His English nome was at
HoIdgate, about q mile from the city
of York, and it was there that he did
his literary work. His grammar has
been severely criticized for its obscur-
ity, blunders and deficient presentation
of etymology, but it made his name q
household word in every country where
the English language is spoken. His
later years were devoted to the study
of botany.

Keep Promises Made Children.

If failure to keep promises is evil In
the business and social world at large,
it is calamitous In the home. One can
not be too careful about making prom
ises to children. None should be light
Iy made, and when made, they should
be scrupulously kept, even in seeming
ly unimportant things. If one would
have children truthful, one must one
self first he true. They should early
learn the value of truthfulness In
promises. One has no right to promise
a thing to rid oneself Of importantly
When one is not ready to promise, one
should say so and stick to 1t. No
matter is unimportant that has bear
ing on truthfulness. 1t does not take
long for child to learn when parent
breaks promises foolishly or lightly
Then such child ceases to respect q
parents word in anything. Slow to
make promise, but swift to keep one
should be an ideal for all.-Milwaukee
