Binding Up the Wounds
OF Those Who Do Not Eiioht

human elements, tho impulse OF war
spending Itself through the channels
OF Rcd Cross civilian relief, may be-
come one Of several powerful factors
IN reinterpret;ng to The people Of the
United States the real signilicanccs of
democracy.
For ten years Frank Persons was
secretary of the Charity Organization
Society of New York. o-day he i,
director general of one Of the largest
relief systems iii the world, touching
more people, penetrating more init
matcly into the lives of nation than
any other altruistic organization in the
world.
He is a rather tall man, and his hojyht
is. strangely enough, accentuatcd by the
tact that his face is bovish. 1t is a
round face, y comfortable face, the
face OF man who has many sympa-
thies, chiefly human. He gives an i'm
preston OF adequacy. His eyes arc a
deep blue, contemrlativc at times,

others.
The story Of civilian Rcd Cross re-
lief is his to tell:
The Red Cross, as it is convcn-
tionally known, can do no end Of good
to tho soldier by sending h;,M the
sweaters and scarfs devoted women
have made. 1t can always act. in a way
known to every American, as a pur-
vcyor Of the various necessities of
comfort from the home land to tho
soldier on the field. It can caro- for
the soldier when he is wounded. which
is its greatest work
But, previous to the present war
the Red Cross had not taken into con-
sdcration the relationship of the SOL
dicrs welfare to the welfare of those
he left behind him. No number of
sweaters will relieve the anxiety of
Bill Jones about the sick child he used
to swing on his knee. Fear for the un-

Murder of Soldier De-
termincs Island En-
pire to Check Boil
sheviki on Her Sea-
board
Will Not Tolerate a
Second singtao to
Menace Control of
Development. in the
Orient
By Adachi kinnosuke

"HERE is nothing particularly
original about the Vladivostok
incident. A little more than a
month ago, at Blagoveshtchensk, the
.Bolshcviki robbed lot of Japanese
and murdered at least half dozen Of
them. Some time before that, at Har-
bin, the Russians had broken into the
branch Office of Mitsu & Co. and loot
ed and wounded several men. At r.
kutsk there were quite a number of
Japanese among the murdered who
were left in the gutter--rather, piled
up in the middle of the street, where
they fell.
Japan lands her marines at Vladi-
vostok to protect the lives and prop
crty Of her citizens. And it is the Boil
shevik politicians at Moscow, not Japan,
who demand explanations. One thing
the whole thing-the Bolsheviki killed
a Japanese sailor. They should not
have done that. For just think what
a beautiful torpedo this simple incl
dent would have made for anti-Japa-
nesc propagandists to launch against
the heather aggression by Japan of the
gentle and helpless Russia! They
could have pointed out with pride that
there was no comparison between the
Mexican excursion of General Pcrsh-
ing and this autocratic aggression Of
Japan-because it was only for the pro-
lection Of lives and not for property
that the United States took action in
Mexico. But the silly Bolsheviki went
and spoiled it all. The incident, to be
frank, doesn't amount to- much in
itself. Pretty serious, but after all
mere unfortunate incident, and moth
ing more. But it looks a bit like an
index finger pointing at something.

Backed by Former
Russian Diplomats

The new republic is backed by the
Russian Ambassador at Toxic, the
Russian Minister at Picking, as well as
the Russian Ambassador to France. 1t
is backed by--in fact, is composed Of
the Russian colonists in Eastern ST.
IBERIA, who are the owners of the tracts
Of land given them when they came out
east, and who ask Of the world moth
ing but to be left alone to till their
own soil in peace and enjoy the fruit
Of their labor. Now, this new Rus
sian republic has very small force
of Cossacks as it's only army. 1t has
already suffered a. defeat at the hands
of the Bolshevik army, which had
quit the Eastern front in Europcan
Russia, and had returned home after
numbering their own officers Boil
thcvlk forces, which are now led by
the German officers who came out Of
the various prison camps in Siberia.
This new republic and the Russians
who compose it, have never gone back
on the Entente Allies. They had moth
ing to do with the made i'm GERMANY
peace at Brest-Litovsk. They have not
turned the sacred pledge of Russia to
the Entente that she will never make
separate peace with Germany. They
are fully entitled to the heartiest sun
port of the Entente.

Could Send U-Boats
TO Vladivostok

1t shows how seriously japan. her
high military circle, takes the idea of
the possibility of a German U-boat
base on the Sea of Japan, anywhere all
along the coast from Nladivostoi; to the
mouth of the Amur River. There is
nothing fantastic about the idea, either.
when one takes a square Loo. at the
situation. Let Germany get the com
mand of the Siberian line 1t does rot
call for miracle to transport twenty
or thirty U-boats in sections from Ger
many to Pacific port Vadvostok, for
example. After that it would not take
much for Germany TO turn the Japa.
Sea into a Far Eastern Mediterranean
and the Pacific into larger Atlantic
so far as the German ruthless piracy /,
concerned. Now, japan cannot stand
the very thought of il for moment,
The new Siberian Republic is the most
effective answer to the German threat
Moreover, the firm establishment Of
the new Siberian Republic would mean
peace and order in North Manchuria. It
protects the peace and interests Of the
Japanese controlled South Manchurian
railway zone. 1t keeps the finest agr,.
cultural section Of Northeastern Asia
from falling into the hands of the Ten
tons, for those thousands OF su,larc
miles from Hardin west to Lake Raikal
are the vcritable granary of Manchuria.
In fact, it is North Manchuria which
feeds practically the whole of Eastern
Siberia.
The establishment of the new renuh-
lie in Siberia means something moro
to Japan. Japan can get from II
much of the raw materials which she
needs to maintain the very jndencn-
dencc of her national defence
and other metals, for example. and
wool. And she can get these essentials
at one and the same time while she is
building up buffer state between hcr
and the mailed Teutonic avalanche
which is bound to come down the ST.

He Had Loved Her,
Himself a Child

She had lived with an aged rela-
tive in the house down there, in the
adjoining garden on the other side of
the hedge. lie had loved her, himself
d child, when she was still younger
child, scornful and dcspotic, bending
him to all her caprices and compcnsat-
ing him sometimes by permitting him
to kiss her ON The cheek. He had loved
her all through their adolescence,
whether near her or far away from
her, whether she was disdainful or
gracious, according to her coouettish
moods. He had loved her still more
as time went by, and he had believed
that she also loved him and that she
would consent TO marry him. when one
June evening through the opening in
the hedge she had listened to him,
seemingly softened, and had not an
swercd his protestations with railing
words.
But, shortly after, he had realized
how much he had deceived himself
when he learned that she was going 10
marry man with cons iderabIe fort
une and large ambitions. He had felt
then chagrin SO unbearable, a ical-
ousy so torturng, that he had fled in
order not to see her in the company
OF his successful rival and not to hear
again even the sound Of her name. He
had passed years abroad, coming back
suddenly for tho war.
