JAPAN IS SILENT
officials Hold Back on What
Country Wants in Conference.
Marquis Okuma Comes Out
With Statement of Terms.

Correspondence of the Associated Press)
Toxic, Dec. 18.-Official Japan is
silent as to what Japan will ask at the
peace conference, but Marquis Shigen-
shu Okuma, the venerable ex-prime
minister has come out in statement
as to what he thinks Jape MS peace
terms should be.
The marquis says that Japan should
approve all decisions. to be reached
by Great Britain, France and the
United States, so far as the territorial
alterations on the western front. cen
trail Europe, the Balkans End In Az
rican colonies are concerned, because
Japan has no direct interest in the
affairs of these countries. As for the
problems as to the future of Germany
4 and Russia, Japan's attitude should be
decided in accordance with the con-
illusions reached by the allied con-
fersnce but she should declare that
the fundamental principle of settle
ment should be the universal desire to
obtain a permanent peace in the
world.
His Other Points.
The other points which the marquis
makes are as follows: The future OF
the Samoan islands which has caused
various diplomatic controversies be-
tween Great Britain, the United
States and Germany, should be de-
cided in accordance with the will OF
Tie TWO 1OTIIleT pOWtIS LUZ IAS PuA
pose of destroying Of German bases in
| the Pacific.
The German New Guinea, which is
| now occupied by the British, should
not be returned to Germany. The
| principle should also be applicable to
the Bismarck island. Japan should
| hold islands like Marshalps, Caroline
and others which are now occupied
| by the Japanese navy, as it is danger
| Gus to return them to GermanC, and
| as there is no reason to let the other
powers occupy them.
| The cable line between Using Tao
and the Southern Islands, which is
| now occupied by the japanese navy.
| should be held by Japan. The cable
| line is a property owned by a private
concern SO that Germany should buy
1t up before ceding it to Japan.
The problems relating to the main
| tenance of order in Siberia should be
settled by the allied conference, but
| all the allied powers should refrain
! from any action or demand for &C
| quiring concessions in Siberia.
The relations between China and
other powers should be based upon

ODDOrtunity

REGISTRATION SEEMS
LIGHT OVER THE CITY
Unless Many Register This Evening
Before the Polls Close the Regis
tratlOn Held Today WIN BE
Very Light.

There seems to be very little inter-
est being shown in registration in all
of the six precincts In the city today.
The polls were opened early in the
morning and there was not the trou-
BILE experienced in getting election Of
ficers to mann the polls like there
was in the recent primary but reports
up until late hour this afternoon
were not encouraging for a large reg
istration, in fact it appeared that the
registration would be very light I'M
less many were listed this evening.
All voters are urged to go to their
precinct polls this evening before 8
o'clock and register. One of the great
est of patriotic duties is to vote and
unless one registers today he will not
be permitted to vote in November
when United States Senator must be
chosen from this state.
The selection of a United States
Senator at this time is one of the
most important duties that might
come to the electorate of the state and
every man owes it to his country to
cast his vote one way or the other in
this coming election.
Remember the polls are open until
8 o'clock and there is yet plenty of
time. Be certain to register before it
is too late.

The Red Cross Commissioner for

in need of bath towels, hand towels,

ed to contribute as many articles as
possible from its reserve stock.
Wherever it seems practical, house
wives are urged to make up these ar
ticles from old linen skirts and
dresses, not too worn, and from pieces
of new linen that may happen to be
available.
Approximate dimensions: Bath
towels, 19x3S; hand towels, 10X90;
handkerchiefs, 1SX1S; napkins, 14x14;
sheets, 64x102.
The town and county have been di-
vided into wards and precincts, a

Thursday morning at 10 o'clock. Each
person who has any of the above ar
ticles to contribute is asked to kindly
put it on their front porch to be call
ed for by the committee. Please laun-
dry every article. If you do not care
to give away any of your own home
supply, money will be most accept
able and the local Red Cross will in
vest the money in above articles. The
articles should be new or substan-
TALLY new as laundering facilities
abroad are poor and poor quality
would last only a short while and
shipping facilities are too crowded to
waste space on worn articles. If one
desires to give more than one article,
a set which includes: 1 bath towel,
2 hand towels, 2 handkerchiefs will
be most acceptable or l sheet and l

Worth of Liberty Bonds
On Last Sunday.

Rev. William Dern, of this city, Mis-

On last Sunday MIR. Dern held SER

splendid Liberty Loan organization
had been perfected among the miners
and at the close of the Sunday even
ing service it was announced that this
little community of miners had sub
scribed for $4,000 worth of bonds
of the fourth loan.
The miners are now making large
sums of money but they are showing
their patriotism by investing their
money in bonds and therefore turn
ing it right back to the government
for use in helping to win the war.
This community's quota is $4,000 and
Mr.. Dern says the members of the
community organization claim they
will subscribe for more than $4,000
in bonds before the close of the cam

TROPHY TRAIN WILL
Be HERE CERTAIN ON
FRIDAY EVENING
Arrangements Being Made For the
Reception Of the U. $. Trophy
Train Which WIN BE Here
Several Hours Friday.

1t has become known here that
some person who does not care how
he handles the truth or who is in
league with the Kaiser has started
the report over this section that the
U. S. Army Trophy Train which is
scheduled for next Friday at Mays
vile would not be here on account of
the epidemic of Spanish Influenza.
The Mason County Liberty Loan Com
mittee announces that this is a very
false report,
The trophy train will be here asI
scheduled with all of its relics of the
battlefields captured from the Ger
man Huns in their retreat and with
specimen of the sort of implements of
war used by the United States. Ac-
companying the train will be a COM
pany of American soldiers and sever
al Liberty Bond statesmen and speak
ers.
The train will arrive here over the
L. & N. from Carlisle about $50 Fri
day evening and will remain on the
siding at the l.. & N. depot until about
II o'clock when it will be switched
to the c. & o. railroad and will leave
for points in Ohio.
Maysville is the only stop the tro-
ply train will make in this section of
the state and it is expected that there
will be large number of people from
all over the section here to view the
relics which will cost absolutely moth
ing.
This same train was in Ashland
Sunday and the Ashland papers say
that it attracted more people to the
city than any circus that had ever
exhibited there. The train should at
tract in the same way here and there
is every reason to believe that it will.
People from Ohio and all out through
this section of Kentucky will be here
in large numbers.
The train is so arranged that
large number of people can view the
trophies at the same time and no nat
ter how large the crowd of people
coming to the city they will all get a
look at these interesting trophies.
Don't let any report that the train
will not come bluff Won ont" hut no
here in plenty of time and stay as
long as you have to to see the cruel
implements of warfare used by the
Huns.
