TOXIC. japan. November 9.-The
Kokumin Shimbun. discussing Presi-
dent Wilson's proposed league Of ma
tions, doubts whether such league
will be able to maintain the peace of
the world against an ambitious and
mighty nation. It says that inasmuch
as Mr.. Wilson proposes the removal
Of economic walls and restriction of
armament as necessary factors. ac-
cording to a similar line of reasoning
the removal Of racial discrimination
is an important factor in the preser-
walton Of the worlds peace.
The paper further afirms that in
case Japan becomes party to such a
league the discriminatory treatment
Of the japanese in America and Aus
tralia should cease. It expresses I'M
shaken confidence in Mr.. Wilson's sim
cerity and expects = change Of policy
on the part Of the American govern
ment.

REGULAR GIRL PICKS
NUMBERS IN DRAFT
"Major Billee7 Wellborn
Noted for Good Looks
and Patriotism

Major Billie wellborn. who drew the
draft numbers in Washington today is
a charming southern girl, whose home is
in Atlanta. She's just the kind for whom
fellow would willingly go to war.
The Little Major" has often been
referred to as a living encyclopedia on
the draft rules. This may lead some to
believe that she is statistical lookins
person who constantly talks figures and
facts. Such is not the case.
There Is a spirit of goodfellowship
about her. She is in charge of the In
formation Bureau of the draft Office. but
unlike many persons at the head of
such departments, she answers ques-
tions with a smile and gives good meas
ure in the way of information.
Americanism fairly radiates from
Major Billie's eyes. Her patriotism is
not of the surface kind. She would giady
go wherever assigned, and those who
know her say she would rather be near
scene of action than delving through
figures.
Major Billie is trim Of figure and
possesses a voice which carries the tone
of gentle command-but there Is an air
of finality about it, too. which permits
Of no useless talk.
