Us. INFLUENCE
SAID TO STAY
JAPAN'S HAND
Allies Apparently Not So
Anxious Now for Vladi-
vostok Action.

The~ihfluence of the United States
has apparently held I? japanese ac-
ton in Siberia. There were indica-
tions here last night that the eau
tious attitude of the United States
had had its effect in Europe. Lon
don and Paris. according to their
representatives here, are not so keen
for Intervention as they were three
days ago.
MOtOno Vague.
Excerpts from Count Motono's
speech in the japanese Diet, the only
authoritative expression OF Japanese
intention. received here yesterday,
were closely scanned by officials. His
reference to a full understanding with
the United States and the allies was
characterized as a generality. No
agreement has yet been reached, it
was stated. on the specific matter
Of Intervention.
1t Is probable that the still pend
ing decision on intervention has again
delayed President Wilson's purpose
of going to Congress with a word
on the new problems of the war.
1t Ia pointed out that for the Pres
ident to speak OF the Russian stu
alton at this time-and II is believed
generally that he must discuss Rus
sian problems-would involve an ex-
preston on the dangers to which
Japan has adverted in the Far East.
Pending a definite outcome OF the
entente policy in this respect 1t is
not believed that the President will
be willing to speak.
Officials agree with the general as
sertion Of Count Motono that there
exists full understanding between
Japan and the allies, which under
standing is counted upon to restrain
Japan in the face of the general
entente sentiment against interyen-
tion, which seems TO be now swing
ing around to the American view.
Position Stronger.
This view has throughout been
promised officially on the Russian
situation. There has been no ex-
preston anywhere tending to aues-
ton Japan's motives. But the view
against Intervention has been
strengthened by new developments.
One of these was a report received
by the State Department yesterday
telling that a vital bridge on the
Trans-Siberian Railway at Chita, be-
tween Lake Baikal and the Manchu-
rian border. had been blown up. This
would make impossible the removal
of extensive supplies from VIadivos-
tok for any purpose.
Another was the readiness Of the
Chinese to act,

"Well, Jordan, this is Lieutenant

And the c. E. replaced the receiver
upon its hook and looked around
the office for his star reporter.
There he sat in far corner of
the room smoking cigarette and
doing nothing in particular. A big
man was Willoughby Roberts
around the Office of the Morning
Jag-the star reporter of the
sheet; the man who covered all of
the big stories.
Jordan called his star reporter
to his desk and hastily acquainted
him with the facts in the case.

Housekeeping as a Profession

Housekeeping as a Profession
1t has been said that the chief
work of a woman was to be home
maker. In order to be home
maker it is essential that a girl
have the best education that cppor-
tunity affords. She should above
all know commercial arithmetic as
in most cases she has the handling
of the family budget. She should
also know chemistry so that it will
be possible for her to know the
number OF calories of feed needed.
After a girls marriage she should
continue her studies and not drop
out of things. for if she does, she
will soon find that the world has
left her far behind and she will be-
come a bore to people she meets.
Housekeeping is business. No
cir! would care to marry man
who had no special line of business
and so it is that no man cares to
marry 4 woman who knows nothing
about house work. A housekeeper
should have an ideal "a certain aim
and an interest in her family. She
should always be cheerful and so
keep a spirit of pleasure in her
home.
A housekeeper should be consid-
crate of 4 servant if one is kept.
Many girls consider it disgrace
to be a maid in another persons
home, but in reality it is not. If a
girl is employed by an agreeable
family her position is preferable to
that of a girl who works in a fac
tory. Her work and her hours are
not SO heavy or long.
The essential thing in house
keepers life is to have good health
and the right amount of sympathy
for her family.

Then came the news of the sink

When the teacher had gone to

One morning when the teachers
had gathered for the morning chat,
Louisa came in, her face shining.

teacher, here is my boys picture.
He is a soldier now, How grand he
loogs. He is sergeant already"
Louisa gazed lovingly at the post
card picture of fine looking sol
der boy. "Ha, ha, my fine fellow.
Now you don't turn over and sleep
again while call you five times
more Ia ia ia, Ia ia ia, Ia Ia ia.

The Liberty Loan posters came.
The big loan drive was on. Louisa
fell in love with one OF the posters.

CHANGING about to be sure she
was not noticed. She slipped into
the office. Once inside she drew
from her pocket an envelope with
the red triangle in the corner and
laid it before the head teacher.
Look. This the money my boy
sends. 1t is the money they give
him for being good soldier. That

went over the top for Uncle Sam
