Interesting Article on Far
East Is Contained in Paper
Received by Omaha
Attorney.

A copy of the Japan Advertiser,
a Japanese newspaper printed in
English in Toxic, recently received
by D. c. Patterson, Omaha real
estate man, contains an interesting
article on the political and economic
situation in Russia, especially ST.
IBERIA.
The article states that recent de-
velopments in the war situation in
the far east necessitated Japan TAX
ing military action in Siberia, and
urges business men of the nation
to give full support to the move.
"Vladivostok is now shaping the
political fate Of Siberia says the
article. "The attention of all peo-
pie is concentrated on the two ex-
[sting governments. the Siberian
Horvat, and all negotiations be-
tween the two are closely watched.
Differences Explained.
1.-THE uncertain situation is due
10 the unsoundness of the position
Of both governments. The Siberian
government commands sufficient in
6uence in the Primorskaya, but has
20 solid support in the port of
Vladivostok, where the masses are
openly pro-bolshevik. On the other
hand, General Horvat's government,
though having within its rank men
Of weight and experience. receives
Z chilly welcome from the majority
of the people, which is largely due
to the misdeeds of some of Hor-
watts detachments in the early stage
Of his political activities.
Naturally, both governments, not
being deeply rooted, politically. tend
to shape their policies according to
the attitude of the allies. This ex-
plains the enormous interest taken
by the people in every step taken
BY the allies, especially by Japan
and America.
Japan Misunderstood.
1T Is we'll understood here that
Japan can play a dominant role in
the far east. Japanese intervention
10 quite desired, but at the same
time, its possible consequences are
feared. The Siberian people are
firmly convinced that Japan is de-
termined to support Horvat only,
and in the opinion of many Rus
slams, Horvat's chief aim is the re-
storation of czarism.
"Japan would gain greatly, could
she remove this distrust by convinc
ing acts. To illustrate the peoples
suspicious of Japan-the latest ia
pan move in Mauchuria is interpret
cd as an overt act in support of
Horvat.

Typical Western Man Chosen to Head Big
United War Fund Drive Which Starts Soon
Bv 7. D. KUYKENDALL.

John r. Mott is a name to con-
lure with. 1t is one of the names,
which in these murky days OF war
is growing, constantly growing, be-
cause the man to whom it belongs,
and the job he is doing in the mad
world are growing.
John r. Mott. it was announced
few days ago, is to head the great
drive of the united war organiza-
tons, which are to knock at the
door OF the nations heart next
month. To those who know nothing
OF him it may not be quite clear
why he, devoted to only one of the
organizations, should have been
chosen for this stupendous task.
Those who have known Mott, or
known intimately of his work for
the last quarter of century, &C
cepted the announcement the other
day as the most natural thing in the
world.
The fact of the matter is that
Mott is one of the great men of this
age, WHICH has been bringing out the
greatness or the meanness of men.
He is a Christian statesman. and
when this big job doomed up on the
horizon demanding a man with
world vision and the capacity to
undertake a world task, the job ma
turally lit on Mott. And he will
carry it through.
Mott is Typical Westerner.
The reason that | am so continent
in making the foregoing statement
IS that Mott and | are both west
erners. He does not know me and
| do not know him personally, but
| do have a profound confidence in
the ability of the west to make men
who can and will do things in a
large way-even though said west
may have slipped cog or two in
my case. There was no slip with
John r. Mott
Mott was born in Iowa He spent
the formative years of his life on,
the understanding, wind-swept,
sun-kissed prairies of this middle
west. If that will not make a man
great he has no greatness in him.
There is something enlightening to =,
the mind, Strengthening to the soul,
charging to the vision, in these
broad prairies. If you want to give
man a world wide view of life
and a sweeping breadth of human
sympathy, plant him in the far
reaches Of the prairies. He cannot
breathe the air of these vast plains
without becoming bigger. The real
provincials are not the men who
have come out of these provinces,
but those who have been cribbed
and confined all their days in the
city.
John R. Mott was predestined-I
am inclined to think he may be
hereditary Presbyterian, although he
is a member of the Methodist
church, and the foregoing word
will go with him-to greatness by
the very circumstances of his birth
and his upbringing. Of course even
the west cannot make greatness
unless there is the stuff there with
which to start. Mott has in him

Students in Colorado
Take Un STUDY of War

Boulder, Colo, Oct. $50 that
Colorado's part in the world war
may be fully chronicled, the Uni
versity of Colorado has instituted a
course in the history Of the state in
the European conflict.
Students, studying this course, clip
stories from Colorado newspapers
pertaining to the activities of SOL
diers and sailors from the state and
file them. Efforts are being made
also to obtain from relatives person
al data OF men and women who have
entered the service of the nation.
Already there have been filed
sketches Of more than 5000 per-
sons. taken from newspapers.
The data thus collected will be
filed by the university as perma-
nent record and in time will be
available for use in the compilation
Of the history of the states part in

institution in America. Mighty few
college men of the past decade or
two have not been stirred by his
searching addresses at these con-
ferences. His influence in this in
direct way has been worldwide,
and many of the men who will help
him put across his present big job
are the men whom hes has met in
these conferences.
Mott is primarily not an orator,
however, but an organizer. He was,
before war broke out, engaged in
carrying out tremendous dream,
the organizing of world on the
basis of human brotherhood. His
whole hope was for humanity tied
together by the unbreakable bonds
Of fraternity of spirit.
Mott Still Retains His Vision.
This dream was somewhat shat
tered when the nations sprang at
each other in hate. But Mott has
not lost his visio.. He sees in the
great organizations - mercy and
service the means by ~A--~. per
chance, a chastened word ~ ~c
LED to a real comprehension OF the
meaning of brotherhood.
II he did not believe in this great
er thing which is to come out OF
the welter Of war, John r. Mott
would not be heading the movement
of which he is to so very great an
extent the very heart and soul. He
has not lost the vision nor The hope.
Not because Of war, but in spite
of it, and in a measure through the
new meanings that will come to hui
man life through it, the consumma-
ton of the vision will be fastened.
That is his faith.
Mott is able to put little more
drive into his present work because
he knows the need and the possibil-
tiles as few men do. He has al
ways been a world traveller. Since
war started, he has been FIVE times
overseas. And perhaps most I'M
rortant of ALL he has a boy in the
trenches and he knows what the
boys need. The father heart of him
will be the bridge over which the
love of America will be carried
across the seas to the war-rayaged
lands.
When John R. Mott asks us for
$l35.000,000 we may with perfect
confidence give it to him. He will
see that it goes where we want it
to 60 and where we could not send
it without him.

Reformers in Japan
Start Movement to
Abolish All Caste
Correspondence Associated Press

correspondence ASSoSIdlCu TiSss'
Toxic, Oct. 5.-Japancse reform
ers, stirred by the recent food
riots in which the 'eta" or 'outcast
class of society, took a prominent
part, are advocating the abolition of
the caste regulations which hedge
about these people on the ground
that the restrictions are distinctly
out of countenance with the spirit
OF modern Japan.
The "eta" might be compared to
the pariahs of India. They number
more than 100000 and are said to
be the descendants of Kokrean cap
tives brought to Japan during the
wars of the sixth century. Others
trace their origin to the introduction
of Buddhism in Japan in the eighth
century when the taking of animal
life was looked upon by adherents
of the new faith with adherence and
disdain. From the earliest days the
"eta" have been slaughterers of cat
tie and other livestock and today the
majority of these people obtain their
livelihood as butchers and tanners.
Legally the "eta" have the same
rights as other Japanese but socially
they are outcasts. Forbidden to
mingle with high-class Japanese or
to marry outside their own caste,
the abbatoir workers and their FAM
lilies live together in towns and vii
liges in western and southern ia
pan. Included in their number are
many radicals who see in the grow
ing spirit of democracy an opportun-
ity to end forever for themselves and
their children the social ostracism
to which for centuries their for
bears have been subject.
The rice disturbances gave the
"eta" the opportunity to show their
disapproval of existing conditions
Many of their women in the city of
Osaka led attacks upon food dealers
and property. With the settle
ment of the trouble Japanese editors
and publicists suggest the "eta"
should be brought out Of their set
Elements and encouraged to live and
associate with their so-called betters
as a part of the plan to more
thoroughly democratize Japan.
