leading nations in the council OF the
big five I'LL discriminations and
restrictions OF Il racial character
should he forthwith dropped. and tho
allied statesmen should make II clear
to the whole world that the Japanese
arc welcomed into the league as
equals in race rs in all other respects
As to the proposed Scttlcmcnt of
the German colon al problem, the
argument set forth in the Japanese
press is that japan is entitled to ad
cquatc rcparation for her sacrifices
in the war. Fur her it is assorted
that no International control Of tho
German colonies can be agreed to be
fore a constitution OF the CONTROL ng
body has been formed
In the matter of the league of na-
lions there has been Il sharp face
about on the part of the Japanese
public opinion. Up to quite recently
the feeling here was enthusiastic for
league, but that feeling has given
way to great skepticism.
Tho idea is being spread TINT the
league. if formed will be virtually
dominated by America and Great Brit
ain; that these two nations Will be
in a position TO cocrce all others %
pcc,nlly the smaller nations and the
question Is sarcastically put: What
Ii England and America violate in
tcrnational law"
1t Is interesting to note that this
report came from Tokyo, Japan. It
could not get over the cables from
Paris direct. President Wilson's Four
teen Points specifically provided Cor
open diplomacy. Openly arrived at"
These fourteen points were spccifical
ly agreed to by the Allies and one of
the first things done. when they met
for diplomatic discussion was to dis
rcgard this fundamental provision OF
President Wilson upon which the war
was brought to an end. Just how
far the other provisions of this will
be disrcgardcd is an interesting qucs
The Japanese are shrcwd diplomats
and great statesmen. They seem to
have the hacking OF France in their
at. tudc. II the Five Great Powers
split. then the small nations will
have chance to decide some Of the
great questions. Great Britain and
the United States OF America arc
recognizing the "color line" 1t may
he after oil that many or the vital
questions that affect the colored peo.
plc Of this country may be discussed
and decided in this remarkable con
grcss OF nations.
We have our American representa-
tiVcs of color over there looking after
tn interests OF the dark races in
Africa and it may be that in the
Japanese delegation, we may be able
to find some one Of them willing to
look after tho interests Of the darker
races in the United States OF America.

TIE CLOUD UPON THE HORIZON

The situation ct the Peace Confer
ence in Paris seems to he unsatis-
factory. if certain reports coming
from that great asscmblage are true.
The little nations seem to have been
"lost n the shuttle" so to speak and
they only know what is transpiring
after the mandates of the Five Great
Powers have been handed down to
but it seems that other great ques-
tons are dividing the members OF tho
Five Great Powers themselves 1t
might be we'll to remark that the ma
ton composing this great combine
are Great Britain. United States Of
America. France. Italy and Japan.
TIE recent cabled reports are inter
esting. Here they arc:
Tokyo February 11,-Japan's press
and public arc in a state of consider
able excitement and irritation apropos
the happenings at the Paris peace con
ference.
1t IS known n Paris that the re-
representatives. Of 'hc associated powers
are much concerned by reports that
japan has threatened war upon China
should the latter nation fail to &C
cedc to Japanese demands.
Three main currents Of thought are
manifested in Japan
1. Opposition against the manda-
tory system OF administering the
German colonies.
Q. Opposition against the league Of
nations.
3. Bitterness against the prevalent
theory that certain nations notably
America and Australia will continue
to draw tho "color line"
Feeling is naturally most intense
on the last named point.
The Japancse argument is-and
part 'cn'ar feel ng 's heing stirred to
high pitch bv one sided reports on
this question-that since Japan Is to

A "A.

Tom Cowlcr, tho English heavy
weight. last night received another
puncture in his championship aspira
tons when he was outpointed by Joe
Jeanette In seven OF the eight rounds
at the Armory a A OF Jersey City.
A big crowd saw the bout. Jeanette
weighed 1916 pounds to 204 by Cow
Ter.
Tho Briton seemed to have a vivid
recollection OF a knockout punch no
received from Miske, and he was ex
.ceedingly cautious as to endangering
his Jaw.
There was altogether too much
clinching tho bout, although there
was question that each was fighting
rs we'll rs he know how.
jeanette was the aggressor from
start to finish and did good execution
with n left alb to the face. He cut
Cowler's lips and brought blood from
his nose
Jeanette landed three blows to
Cowler's one and had advantage in
every round except the third, which
was In favor OF the Brtton.
In the semi final Jack Shelton of
Newark knocked out John Reid Of
Now York in the fourth round. Shell
ten noored Reid for the count OF
nine and when he arose sent him to
the canvas again. The referee then
halted the fight.
In the other bouts Eddie Fletcher

follows:
"Clcmcnccau permits Pm-African

This is equivalent to saying that
the French Government had permit
ted the convcning of the Pan-African
Conference in France and that colored
delegates from this country would be
permitted to attend the Same. But
Rev. w. II. Johnson has received Il
