WHAT IS MEANT WHEN LEAGUE TALKS ABOUT
 MANDATORY" ACTION

WASHINGTON, April Is. One of the common misconceptions of the covenant of the League of Nations comes from spelling alike two d.f- ferent words. The adjective man datory" means Imperative" The noun, mandatory" means "an au- thorized agent" When the League of Nations talks about making a State mandatory for advice, control or ad- ministration of one of the German colonies or a backward country, some people get the impression that this duty is to be imposed upon q power without it's consent. They seem to see China and Peru com polling the United States to under take the job of policing the Congo
 Of course, nothing of the kind is contemplated. The United States will not be commanded by the League of Nations to take Armenia or Syria in tutelage contrary to the advice and consent of the Senate If we voluntarily accept such a mandate it will be because we, more than any other country, have helped the Arne- nians and Syrians when they were under Turkish oppression and that we are now willing to help them get onto their feet.

DECLARES JAPAN WAS READY TO SWITCH TO
 SIDE OF GERMANY

WASHINGTON, April 1S.- That Japan was prevented from switching to Germany only by Ainerca's en- trance into the war and Austria's col. lapse, was told him by M Delaney, French Ambassador 10 Japan, Repre- sentative Fuller of Massachusetts Go clares.
 On the ship going overseas after the armistice, Fuller asked the French ambassador if the Japanese were sincerely pro-ally The ambas- sador," says Fuller, replied very definitely. No, sir and inquired, Who in the world thought they wert sincerely pro-ally?'
 Ambassador Delaney stated the Japanese intended 10 support Ger many, but after their commission Tis, ited this country and saw how whole heartedly we were going into the war they were afraid to- At Vancou yer, on learning Austria had surren dered, Japanese members of the par ty were visibly disappointed. He lheIeu lH6 tHlDeIOI anu HllllIdIy caste of Japan to that of Germany.
 "A year ago the Administration frowned in a contemplated American loan to China, within a year there after we made new treaty wiih Ja pan when we agreed. in substance. to close one eye, when peace at any price was our National slogan, while Japan emasculated China.
 Tt would be impossible to over emphasize desire of the American boys to come home. The general staff does not seem capable of cop ing with the difficulty of expaditiag their return. The army is sore-aad disgusted
 Americans in France are in dan ger of wearing their welcome out. Two million Americans increase the cost of living, make food scarce and are now more of hindrance than a help. Americans in France spend so lavishly that tradesmen are en- couraged to ask exhorbitant prices and neglect French customers for Americans"

The situation in Brattleboro with re-
spect to the telephone strike is un-

Today the operators have been pie

can building as well as the front en-
trance, but in neither place are they
finding much to do

endy Telephone Co., which has head
quarters in South Londonderry and
serves various towns in the West River
valley, except to shut off the ordinary
service with the New England Tele-
phone & Telegraph Co.

the wage schedule now. in force as fur
nished by the operators was incorrect
in some particulars, the wages paid up
to six months being as follows: To
start, Sc week; end of one month, 81;
end of three months, $50; end of six
