JAPAN'S PLACE AT THE PEACE
TABLE.

Considerable prominence has been Civ
en- to the fact that Japan has thus far
kept silent as regards her desires in the
Forthcoming peace conference, it being
assumed, apparently, that the Toxic gov
eminent will seek some reward as a
member of the entente side of the war.
This sort of talk is calculated to deepen
the mystery which surrounds that ma
tion, which has, indeed, surrounded the
conduct Of Japan during the entire war
Ostensibly Japan was a participant in
the war but, so far as the world has been
permitted to know, Japans only contri-
button to the military or naval activities
of the entire campaign was to dislodge a
German force which had gained footing
on the coast of China and which was
threatening the supremacy of the Japan
csc in the far East. That little job the
japanese did promptly and with expected
success. Cut off as they were, the Ger
mans bHclc SOulu uo llLlle III Lne line OF
defense. SO they surrendered. It is true
that Japan sent force onto the main
land to defend allied stores at Vladi-
vostok; but that operation, too, may be
considered as more or less of move for
selfish purposes, for Japan had vast
amount of stores assembled there for
shipment into interior Russia and the
stores had not been paid for. So Japan
sent force to guard the property of her
citizens 1t may be said, furthermore,
that Japan contributed certain amount
of shipping for the use of the allies, but
that was not brought about until Japan
had been assured of value received for
every ton of shipping So it will be seen
that Japan's every move in the war has
been guided, seemingly, from selfish in
terest; there has not been one broad
minded effort in which there was no hope
for reward Therefore how can Japan
come to the peace table with any valid
claim for gain at the expense Of the de
feated nations In any equitable divis-
ion of spoils Japan would be left out
and if there is to be no di- |
vision of spoils Japan is still further
counted out of the reckoning.

1t would seem to be advantageous for
men who are being discharged from
United States service to keep up their
insurance with the government inasmuch
as the rates are moderate and it will not
be possible to reinsure with the govern
ment after lapse of 81 days excepting
under certain conditions. Moreover, the
men who have become physically i'm
paired probably could not take out in
surance in private companies if they
should desire to do so in order to protect
their families. We are informed that
some of the soldiers and sailors are al
lowing their government insurance to
lapse simply because they do not know
to whom to apply for its continuance
For the benefit of others who are about
to follow similar action we would sug-
gest that they consult the home service
department of the Red Cross, which has
this matter IN charge. In nearly all the
larger places of the state, Barre, includ-
ed, a representative of the home service
department can be found who will gladly
give whatever assistance is needed.

CURRENT COMMENT
Licked Them Every Time.

From two officers who are serving in
France, The Messenger learns that the
Germans fought with the utmost vigor
up until the very last, and that the
American troops, in their final plunge
up to the date of the armistice, had
real fight on their hands every minute.
The truth of this is indicated by the
casualties which attended the last of
the fighting. The Germans without doubt
opposed our soldiers with the best of
their forces determined to make us pay
the cost even if defeat were right at
hand. And the Teutons learned the les
son. They discovered that our men could
Outright them, man for man, gun for gun,
division for division. 1t is a good and
profitable memory to let repose in the
German mind. As Corporal Carey, ma
chine gunner of this city, summed it up
for the 26th division, I'VE have been in
the worst sectors, we have had their best
against us, but we licked them every
time. st. Adams Messenger.

cred certain. The question is then, who
are to be its parliamentary leaders :
First, Of course, will be the chief Of the
war cabinet, whose appeal to the coun-
try was for continuance in office with
power to shape and conclude the peace
that had been made possible by victory.
But of the five other members Of that
cabinet he has lost two, and may lose
a third.
General SHUTS, who was member
without portfolio, has resigned, on the
ground that the end of the war has ter.
minated the need Of his services. Lord
Miner is understood to have given the
same reason for his retirement from the
secretaryship for war, though h6 may
have thought mainly to escape from at
tack by section of the press. Mr..
George Barnes, the labor member of the
war cabinet, is one about whose future
position there seems to be still some
doubt. And is it quite certain that Mr..

the members of the cabinet were the
chief speakers. Thirty-three other states
are represented, either by the governor
or the governor elect, and some of them
by both. The large attendance attests
the strong hold the conference has al
ready gained upon the interest of the
governors by its deliberations in recent
years, and warrants the conclusion that
the afterwar governors are alive to the
delicacy and difficulty of the problems
which will press for solution once the
peace Is signed. Even more than by the
formal addresses upon the specific pol
icies affecting education, labor, work.
mems compensation, lands and agricul-
ture named in the programme, the dele
gates to the conference stand to profit
by the informal exchange of opinions and
suggestions which such a gathering
makes possible Thus will be cultivated
q spirit of new state.ism which. when
fostered, will surely make easier the CO.
ordination of national and state efforts
throughout and following the period of
rehabilitation and resultant readjust-
ment and repair.
After.war governors will be wise IT,
they signalize their entry into power by
official announcement that they intend
TO be working" governors and will,
therefore, decline to fritter away their
time and strength in attendance upon
the round of public banquets and other
social assemblies at which Massachu-
sets, as inconsiderately as the rest, has
expected the governor to be the chief
speaker The governor here and else
where, if he takes his job seriously, will
more than ever be warranted in emulat-
ing the example from which few presi-
dents have departed of declining ali per
sonal invitations and making his accept
ance of public invitations few and far
between, Nothing less than this must
be done if the deliberations of the gov
ernors' conference, so auspiciously begun
at Maryland's hospitable capital city, are
to bear fruit in wise leadership and
sound Legislation in the hard working
years ahead. Boston Transcript

Exponents Of the game of golf view
with satisfaction that though President
Wilson is on business of tremendous i'm
portance he is not going to neglect his
golf 1t is probable that he does not do
this for the pleasure he gets out of the
game as much as he does it for the ply
steal benefits. He must keep his body fit
for the arduous duties which he is called
upon to perform, and golf seems to offer
him just the exercise he requires for
maintaining his health. Many other
business and professional men might fol-
low the example and find that their
health was far better by reason of spend
ing an hour or so on the golf links every
day or a few times each week
