to be faced.
AT the same time reliable reports
continue to reach London of increas-

IDEALS Of JAPAN

CLEVELAND, O., Sept. Japan

Association. 1--WE stand for the rights

Europe. When President Wilson de-
clared that this was war OF democ-
racy versus autocraCy. manifestly he
did not mean that this was a war OF
rcpublicanism versus monarChism The
people of the United States are the
last people on earth to deny another
people the right TO choose for them
selves that form of government which
the latter thinks is best adapted to
themselves. Is not Germanys denial
to some of the unfortunate people
under her sway of the right to choose
their own sovereignty. one of the
crimes which we hold against her?
The United States went into the war
because the German warfare against
commerce was a challenge to all man
kind 1t is for the vindication OF hu-
man right that this nation is stirred
to the core.
when it is suggested that Japan
is misplaced in this war because this
is war of democracy against mon
archy. | see the subtle working of
German propaganda Germany is de-
termined that Japan and the United
States shall not be friends Germany
today is sowing the seeds of mistrust
between us with the same insistance
that has marked her activity in that
direction ever since Japan has be-
come a factor to be considered in the
politics of the world. II you will re-
call with what punctilious observance
of the rules of civilized warfare Jap
an fought her wars OF 1S94-5 and
19O4-5. and If you will consider the
manner in which we safeguard the
civil liberty OF our people at home,
YOU will perceive that we place JUS
tice and right over material prosper
ity and military efficiency, or achieve
ments in science and in art"
Mr.. Miyaoka explained the provi-
sions of the Japanese constitution and
legal procedure in Japan and assert
ed, I'VE do things in Japan much in
the same way as you do in this
country.
Japan has the same ideals to which
you are dedicated. We stand for the
rights of humanity If in this brief
address have made clear to you
some OF the fundamental principles on
which our Legislation is based. If |
have shown that the Japanese people
are not the kind of people to quietly
submit to the invasion OF their rights

contributed something towards the
better understanding between our two

Aged French women in the villages
In the rear Of the American sector in
Plcardy have asked and received per
mission to take care of one or more

and the villagers share the American
SORROWS and joys. In the villages
where American troops are bllleted
and which are in constant danger from
