PARIS, March 1--WE have just been discussing
peace with Andre Fuelot, and we have arrived at a
very satisfactory conclusion.
Andre is altogether man of peace altho at times
might to detect ferocious expression in his
left eye, and still ferocious expression in the
place where his right eye used to be.
Andres plan is very simple, and does not include
haggling over terms.
Any kind of treaty will do, because the important
point lies in when the document is signed.
He wants to continue the war until only one Ger,
man remains, conclude peace with him, then try him
with due decorum, and hang him for the crimes Of the
Huns.
To some this view may seem more or less
radical; but if your sister had been in the cap
tured and evacuated district, and had seen her
father and husband and soon killed, and if she
and her daughters had been for 10 months the
slaves of German beasts, you'd have another rea-
son for fighting this war than your mere duty to
humanity. YOU'D HATE!

reading them far away from the scene does not

Situation Is a
Puzzle to u. S.


WASHINGTON, d. c., March 2.
s decision as to Japan
csc or Joint allied Intervention in
Siberia, remains today one Of the
deepest international puzzles Of
recent months.
A high cabinet member suggest
ed that the U. s. will not object
to Japan going in "self-defense,"
but that this country will not join.
Speculation ran to confirmation Of
this view, but the state department
was still silent early today.
Some officials frankly doubted
that~the situation thus far Is such
as to requqire Japan's entrance.
In this connection they pointed
out that Russian resistance is stiff
fleming and that German penetra-
ton to Siberia is next to impos-
sible. AS for Germans in Siberia,
they have not constituted a real
menace yet, and the supplies at
Vladivostok are apparently in 40
extreme danger for the moment.
More important, In the opinion
Of those opposed, Is the fact that
permission to Japan would mean
the entrance of an autocracy into
Russia's eastern gateway while
another autocracy overran her
from the west.
And, these authorities said, it
is quite conceivable that once JAP
an had foothold In Siberia, she
would be loath to relinqquish it.
Her entrance, It was suggested,
might cause many of the Russians
to 60 over to the Germans to fight
the former enemy while In any
event the entry might be open to
misinterpretation in many quar-
ters as an autocratic invasion.

REPORTERS
TO TESTIFY

Newspaper reporters will be the
star witnesses when Commission
er Pettits $4,000 libel suit
against Mayor Fawcett comes up
for trial in the superior court.
Reporters who were in Fawcett's
office Thursday when the mayor
made charges that Petit had been
caught by party of police in a
room with woman on his lap
have been notified by the commits
Toner that they would be asked to
testify.
Petit said Saturday that he had
placed his case in the hands of a
firm of prominent attorneys and
that they would file the damage
suit early next week.
I'm not suing because want
the money" said Petit. but |
want to prove to the public that
the mayors statement is a false
hood. Undoubtedly some people
believe there Is foundation for the
story. No one who knows me,
believe, has any idea that there is
the least basis Of truth in the
mayors statement. But. those who
don't know me may be inclined
to believe 1t.
THE mayor has been insinuat-
ing things about me until the
point is reached where / won't
stand for 1t any longer. II he
thinks he can prove anything, I'll
give him every opportunity. But
I'm going to show Tacoma that his
statements about me are malicious
and untruthful."
Fawcett said Saturday that he
was getting additional evidence
about the Petit episode and that
he had been told the name OF a
man who was in the raiding party
and who would testify for him.
I'm NOT q bit afraid of Pettit's
suit" said Fawcett. When the
time comes, I'll prove what said
and more. too."

CHEHALIS, March g.
Sensational evidence, which
SO far has been kept a close
secret, is likely to be sprung
by Prosecuting Attorney
Allen, when the trial of Oscar
II. Main for the murder of
his friend Fred Swayne at
ana 81. IAN. o begin in the
service.s 'urt here Monday.
80 was intimated here today
as prosecution and defense gath
cred their forces for the coming
battle for the freedom of Supreme
Court Justice Mains young
brother.
One of the most startling sur
prises which the prosecution may
have in store is said to consist of
disclosures that young Main may
have been involved in a Seattle po-
lice mystery in July, 1914, when
a woman either fell or was thrown
from a window in Il Seattle hotel.
Investigation of the records by
the prosecution is said to have
shown that Mains name appeared
at that time in connection with
the case.
The defense, however, is expect
ed to contend that it was another
man by the name of Main who
was connected with the Seattle
mystery, and not the defendant in
the coming murder trial.
When asked today IL he had
any surprises to spring, Prosecut-
ing Attorney Allen said II don
know; that all depends on. how
much the other side has found
out. They've been right on the
job"
Attorney Maurice Langhorne of
Tacoma, who is to direct the fight
for Main, arrived here last night
and is preparing for the opening
of the trial.
Judge Main also is here to as
sits his brother In every possible
way. He declares he believes
thoroly in Oscars innocence.
Prosecutor Allen believes there
may be considerable difficulty in
getting jury to try the case.
almost everybody in the coun-
ty knows of It," he said today.
An extra venire of jurymen has
been summoned.
Fred Swayne was found brutally
murdered with an ak in his gro-
Gerry store at Napavine Sunday
evening, Jan. 6. A week later
Oscar Main, who runs a real estate
office near the Swayne store, was
arrested on information obtained
by two Tacoma city detectives.
