The full scope of Japan's impe-
realistic ambitions is being brought
to light in Paris as result of re
quests made by China's representa-
tives at the peace congress for pro-
lection against the pressure from
I okio for the granting of new con-
Cessions.
Safe from the intrigue of Picking,
where the Japanese influence ex-
tends into every department Of the
government, the Chinese peace en-
voys have taken a determined stand
for their country's independence.
They have asked the peace congress
to revoke the 81 demands made by
Japan upon China in 1915 and that
the republic be removed definitely
from Japan's influence. This com

Sane Help for the Re-
turning Soldiers Urged
tBy Associated Press,

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 5.-"Don't
spoil the boys when they come back"
was the plea of Russell C. Lowell, of
the Federal Board for Vocational Edu-
cation, when he spoke here recently.
Mr.. Lowell said he thought that
some of those who had been manned
In the war were spoiled for the future
by being feted too much and adored
as heroes when they reached their
own home towns. He cited several
cases where young men had practical
~ refused to undertake to learn new
trades after being untitled by their
wounds for continuing at their old
trades, because, they said, they did
not need to work now.
After time, Mr.. Lowell declared, a
man tires of such idleness and false
honor, and he either becomes men
tally sick and respondent or gets quite
crooked in his methods and begins
preylng upon people instead of trying
to earn living.
Mr. Lowell stated that one of the
chief difficulties the Federal educa-
tional system is encountering is that
of getting hold of the manned men
when they have returned to this coun-
try. They filter back to their own
districts, and, unless promptly taught
to start life anew are apt to reach a
mental stage where it is difficult to
get them to overcome the real diff.
culties which exist in the reeducation
in trades.

War MOTHERS ARE
PRAISED BY SAILOR

An interesting talk was given by
Ray Williams, recently returned from
service in the navy. at a meeting OF
the War Mothers. Tuesday afternoon
at the Commercial club. Mr.. Williams
talked Of his experiences while in the
navy. He paid a tribute to the War
Mothers when he said, you are the
reason why boys want to come home"
The secretary of the organization
will communicate with the command
ants at Fort BENJAMIN Harrison and
West Baden to determine what the
boys convalescing are in ned of. The
Wayne County Chapter will probably
send boxes to the two hospitals.
The complete program for the year
will be given at the next meeting.
The War Mothers and their families
will hold an indoor picnic sometime In
March.
The eleventh of each month is OBJ
served by the War Mothers by some
kind of service. For the past two
months they have been working at the
Red Cross and will do so this month
because of the need of help.
Mrs. Carl w. Ullman played two
selections from Mcdowell.

but 1t was lasting expression, In fact
of the German idea, which abandOns
honor and ships with equal readiness
when profit lies elsewhere.
See German Influence.
Now, Europe. still shaken by the
terrible wounds that Germany recent
ly inflicted, conscious of greatly re-
duced strength, and vaguely appre-
hensive over growing difficulties of
return to peace conditions, not only
sees Germany recovering, but rec
ognizes that there is no substantial
bulwark between Germany and that
vast Russian chaos which simply
clamors for organization, and will
easily lend itself to the peculiar Ger
man organization.
Europe, the Western powers, the
Peace Conference, have abandoned
Russia 1t will turn out that they
have surrendered it to Germany.
There were lacking resources, human
resources, to wage new war to free
Russia. Neither France nor England
could be asked, in view of their losses
in the war, to send more troops and
insure more casualties at this time in
Russia.
So, having resorted to the trans
parent subterfuge of the Principle isl
ands scheme the conference has re-
tired from the Russian field, and it lies
open in consequence to Germany,
daily regaining its sense of purpose
and of direction.
Recognize Danger.
And this consciousness of two-fold
peril possibility of new German
eruption, first into Russia, later per-
haps into Western Europe, this con-
seriousness that in defeat the German
remains himself incomprehensible, in
tangible, fed by a different set Of
moral or immoral impulses-these
facts strnogly influence the Decisions
taken in Paris and contribute to in
creasing American influence, but al
ways with the proviso that American
responsibilities be equally increased.
1t is not that France Or England ex-
actly desire that America should pull
their chestnuts out OF the. fire. There
is something else. Both British and
French feel that. without American
aid, that civilization and that democ-
racy which we have in common, ideals
which we share, may, so far at least
as Europe is concerned, go under.
The shock of the last attack was too
terrible to permit either British or
French to escape easily from its ef-
feet, if indeed they are to escape at
all.
And SO, accepting our leadership, &C.
cepting Mr.. Wilson's suggestions. CIV
ing him the undisputed influence
which Germany acquired and Bismarck
exercised only after three successful
wars, British, French and Italians as
well, are plainly and frankly demand
ing that we pay the price and that
price is shouldering some of the bur-
dens Of world problems; Constantine
ople, for example, and Armenia and
the states in Central Africa.
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1919-02-05

Save for Italy the great powers are
not materialistic in any real sense,
and Italy Is imperialistic only AZ her
leaders and spokesman are survivals
of the alliance with Germany, rather
than creations of the new conditions.
It is security much moro than az
grandisement that France and Britain
and the smaller nations in their own
degrees are seeking, and the greatest
conceivable security IL the participa.
ton, actively and greatly. OF the Unit
ed States in the complicated business
Of world administration.
Since we sent millions Of men to
Europe who by reason Of many circum.
stances, contributed the decisive ele-
ment when those who had made great
er sacrifices and attained greater
achievements were exhausted, and
since the president Of the United
States has come to Paris and accepted
world leadership, which is the indis-
putable, and since the voice Of Amer
lea is SO powerful in the conference,
and powerful for good rather than for
evil in the main, do not quite see
how we are to escape some part of the
new responsibilities that this world
would have us undertake.
No Longer Isolated.
In word. in my judgment what is
developing in Paris is totally differ
emit relation Of America to the world.
The German in real sense abolish
ed the Atlantic when he called us to
Europe to fight him, and neither he
nor we, for that matter, can change
the fact that our day of isolation Is
passing
At all events, however, faulty per-
sonal estimates of results may prove.
there can be no misapprehension of
the present conditions. We have OBJ
tanned unchallenged predominance in
the Paris conference, if only because
our mere physical strength makes us
the greatest single power here repre-
scented.
We have fortified that position
through the totally unexpected and
unprecedent appeal of President VIII
son to millions of British, French and
Italian peoples. Now, these things be-
ing true, can we abandon our mission
when the Treaty of Peace Is signed
Can we leave Europe again, having in
a fashion impressed our ideas-which
to be sure, were European before they
were ours, in many cases-upon our
allies? The thing seems to be incred-
ib1e.
Therefore, want my American
readers to examine with some care
this new world which is in the max
ing in Paris, and which their own
country is doing so much to form.
Nothing seems to be more likely now
than that we who were only associates
1c ,oft IN he rror
will find ourselves their allies when
the Peace of Paris is completed-Al-
lies committed to good peace and a
sound working fabric of the League
of Nations, but Allies also committed
to permanent activity outside of our
own hemisphere.
