Final Decision Delayed
Matsui Withholds the Appro-
baton of His Nation Until
Supreme Council Confers

PARIS, Dec. 24.-Japan's representa-
tive in the Supreme Council has OBJ
jected to the form Of the mandates
under which the former German colo
nies in the Pacific allotted to her charge
would be administered. Time has been
government.
Meanwhile the council holds the
adoption of the mandates in abeyancc.
The question of mandates was taken
up to-day by the council, w''icn con-
sidcred the drafts prepared and
adopted those which give mandates IN
Africa to Great Britain and Belgium
Final action on five ~thers was post
ooncd on tho request of the Japanese
delegate, Baron Matsu.
Three Types Considered
The mandates considered had been
prepared b. the mandate commission IN
London. They were in three series,
aenominated Type A. Type B and
Type C. The two mandates adopted
come under Type B, providing for ad-
ministration under the re. inc of the
leaoue Of nations
The Type A mandates apply to the
Orient and the T.-ne C to tre Pacific
colonies: 1t was the last named type
OF mandate that developed the objec-
tions upon the part of Laron Matsui.
The Japanese delcgate found that the
mandates for the Pacific colonies gave
Japan less advantages than she en-
joyed in those colonies under the Ger
man rule, it was stated. Three Of the
four voting delegates in the council ap-
proved the drafts, bat Baron Matsui
reserved the appreciation Of Japan and
asked for time TO refer the question to
his government
Protest Details Secret
The details to which the Japanese
representative objected were n dis
closed, but it is assumed here that the
question cf the migration of Japanese
to colonies which would come under
the mandate of Australia was involved.
as well as the oconom advantages the
Japanese enjo ed under the most ia
vored naticn clause.

Once upon time there was man

It fires" its men that the government
may do them special honor.
Sergt. Edgar Hayes, = red-blooded
patriot of the marine corps, overheard
an aspersion upon. the, uniform at. bis
service. Sergeant Hayes promptly bit
the speaker in the nose. The marine
corps sat upon his case in solemn
court-martial, and after much deliber-
alton dismissed Sergeant Hayes from
the service, thus creating civil disabil-
tiles. The case later was reviewed by
the president, who pardoned Hayes and
restored him to citizenship. Hayes
has now been restored to the service
and created q first lieutenant, an act
Of congress having empowered the pres
ident to make the appointment
1t is q roundabout way of doing a
man honor. And it shows something
wrong with the system. We wonder
what the dignified gentlemen Of the
court-martial would have done If 1t had
been proved that Sergeant Hayes, now
Lieutenant Hayes, having overheard
an aspersion upon his honorable serv-
ice, had condoned it by inaction.-Cin-

which once was the property of Robes

Lumber Cut Of 1918.

The lumber cut of the United States
in 1918 was 29,362, 100000 feet, as re-
ported to the forest service up to
June Is by 14,753 mills. The COM
plete total cut is 1880, 454,00O feet.
based on the assumed operations of
22,54e mills The computed cut in
1918 is II per cent smaller than the
computed production in 1917.
A comparison of the computed cut of
several Of the larger general produc-
ing regions in 1913 with the figures
for the preceding year shows small
er output by approximately 20 per cent
IN the yellow-pine group Of states, a
decrease of 10 per cent in the North
Carolina pine group and of 8 per cent
in the Lake states. An increased cut
Of per cent is noted for Oregon and
Washington.
