LONDON, March 2.-Michael Farb-
man, prominent Russian journalist.
writing to the Daily News in a refer
ence to the proposed landing of Jap
anese troops in Siberia, says:
whatever the intentions of Japan
and her French and British advisers
may be, her troops will be received in
Russia as enemies not as friends.
''While Germany alone commits these
crimes, we are convinced that the in
vasion Of Russia in time will cause a
rupture between Austria and Germany
and between German democracy and
the Germans. but as soon as Japan,
with the benedfction of the allies, be-
gins to invade Russia from the other
aide, Germany will be given a kind of
justification for her repacity.
Germany will then continue the in
vasion of Russia under the pretext of
combating the yellow danger and
Russia will for many years become the
arena Of q struggle between Germany,
China and Japan"

Japanese marines had been landed at

OF an anarchistic turn that threatened
the safety Of the military stores at the
port. 1t is known that there arc four
large Japanese cruisers at Vladiyostok,
but, as they have been there for some
time. officials said their presence could
not be construed as indicating any new
policy.
AS for the report that Chinese troops
have been sent into Siberia, officials
are convinced that this is based on
a misunderstanding of the movement
of some Chinese soldiers into Hardin,
which. being in Chinese Manchuria, is
properly a subject for Chinese military
control. So far as can be learned here.
the attitude of the Chinese government
has been marked by reluctance to Join
in any international campaign.

presided over by dignified and refined
women, has served very largely to dis
courage the other type of woman and
keep her away from the men she for
merly preyed upon.
The Y. w. G. A. houses are not es-
tablished with any view to marking
class lines, however although many of
the hOstesses who assist led lives of
greatest ease and luxury before the
var. Democracy rules at the sign of
he little Blue Triangle.
A story is told of great merchants
wife whose individual fortune mounts
to the million mark. This lady is
member of one of the Y. w. G. A. COM
mittees, and on one occasion she was
helping in the cafeteria Of hostess
house at the Great Lakes naval train
ing station. A little shopgirl who had
"day off" from her work in the base
ment of the great store owned by the
Y. w. c. A. workers husband, and who
had come to see her sailor brother, was
in a State street hurry for service.
She sharply ordered the merchants
wife to look alive with these forks,

The lady addressed as "girlie" quite
lumbly saw to it that the pile of forks
was replenished. Then she went over
and talked to the girl, helped her to
locate her brother and sent her away
happy. The shopgirl never knew that
she had been talking to her employers
wife.
There are two hostess houses at the
Great Lakes station, and 1t Is won
lerful sight to see the crowds of wom-
en- relatives and friends of the sailors
who throng to them on the Wednesday
drill afternoons. From 1000 to 5000
persons q day are cared for In the
cafeterias, and the nurseries are full
| Of sailor babies, whose mothers can
leave them there safely while they are
m the grounds.
In addition to the hostess house
work in this country the Y. w. G. A.
has established the famous Hotel Pc
trograd in Paris as center for tran
sient women war workers overseas.
There are also many foyers or recrea-
ton centers in France where girl mu-
nitions workers, signal corps girls and
others are refreshed and frightened

of the Y. w. G. A. who have intro

JoUETT sHoUsE AND KANSAS

From the Kansas City Star, of Oct.
"a, 1918.
The people of Kansas as rule
take pride in the intelligence and in
dependence of their votes. Kansas
is a republican state under normal
conditions, but not the rubber
stamp" kind. 1t is not the kind Of
a Republican state to refuse recogni-
ton to unusual merit on the part of
Democrat nor to condone unfaithful
representation on the part of re-
publican.
There was one man in the Kansas
delegation who stood out prominent
ly in all the days at the beginning Of
the war as an advocate of prepared
ness, speeding up war activities and
every vital measure affecting the fate
of the country. He was a tower of
strength in the Kansas delegation Civ
ing the other members encourage
ment and leadership of an unwaver-
ing character. He stood by the adj
ministration, not because it was a
Democratic administration, but be-
cause IL was an AMERICAN dullllsIld-
ton. He was active not only in sup
port of specific war measures, but
always he was busy in looking after
the great industries in Kansas which
affected the war and the welfare
of the people. He used his influence
for the wheat farmer and the cattle
farmer. He was busy in behalf of
the Nation and Kansas.
That man was Jouett Shouse, a
Democrat. To defeat him because
majority of of his district are Re-
publicans would be merely an eXer-
else of a craftsmanship unworthy of
Kansas. 1t would mean the repudia-
ton of record of which every man
in the state is proud regardless of
party connections. Mr.. Shouse should
be elected to show to the world that
Kansas bias fine sense of patriotism
and substantial regard for courage
Gus loyalty apart from anw notion of
partisan politics.

HOLLAND WILL co TO
TRIAL FOR SHOOTING
Prominent Farmer to Be Prosecuted
For Shooting Pro-
German.

Just when it was thought that
County Attorney Light might see fit
to use some good judgement and
drop the prosecution of Q. p. Holland
for the shooting of Elmer Oldham
several months ago, Mr.. Holland is
called into court and asked to give
bond to appear for trial at the No
vember term of District Court which
convenes November IL.
Personal bond was all that was re-
ouired of Mr. Holland, but this he re-
fused to give. Consequently twenty
two of the leading business men,
bankers and farmers Of the county,
as an evidence of good faith, signed
a bond for Mr.. Holland, and he still
has his liberty. ~
The conduct of the case is still
mysteriously peculiar. The official
court docket was issued last week but
the case does not appear on the dock
ct, although the preliminary was held
early in September, and Mr.. Holland
was not asked to give bond before.
1t is more than likely that Holland
will have to face trial for protecting
himself from man who was I'M
questionably pro-German and who
had threatened his life.
A short time ago a Government
secret service operative was here
and Investigated Oldham and a num-
Der of his friends, and made the state
ment that there was no question as
to Oldham being pro-German. We
are also reliably informed that Fed
eral warrant has been issued for Old
ham.
But this all makes no difference
with our county attorney. Lots of
things can get by him, but shooting
pro-Germans is one crime that must
be severely dealt with, and it may not
be safe for any more of our boys to
come back from France if it leaks out
that they have successfully bagged
a Hun.

WHY THE DEMOCRAT is LATE

We come to our readers late this
week owing to an accident to our
press. The unusually heavy run of
outside composition made us later
than usual, and the forms were not
ready for the press until late hour
Thursday night. Everybody was
tired and in hurry to get the paper
off and out of the way and in the
haste of getting the press ready a
bonehead was pulled which put the
big machine out of commission.
We hardly feel that under the cir
cumstances our readers will expect
an apology.

Sugar Allowance
Is Increased

Effective today, the. household al
lowance of sugar will be increased
from two pounds per person per
month to three pounds per person
per month, with the same ratio to
public eating places, according to DR..
H. A. Morgan, state food adminis-
traitor.
The increase in the allowance of
sugar has been made possible by the
rapid manufacture of the new crop
Of Louisiana cane sugar in the south,
together with the freer railroad
transportation conditions, the reduc-
tions made b ythe American people
in the consumption of sugar in the
manufacturing trades and the pa
triotic conservation of housekeepers
