asked.

was his indirect reply.
"How did you come to start the con-
struction work on this Wilmington re-
fncry?" Segal was asked.
During a Panic
"When I built the Bartram Apart
ment," he replied, "a panic was on.
They have referred to my 'indomitable
purpose and lot more of the like in
special book which, they published
commemorating the Bartram."
He paused for a moment.
There is no such thing as good luck
and bad luck" he went on. There is
only the purpose to win or the purpose
to lose. I have won, and I will win.
The determination to lose is not born
in me-
Mr.. Segal, referring to his stay in the
sanitarium, said:
"My illness prevented me from doing
much good, either for Philadelphia OIL

Throughout the interview he rccurred

"What of the future of the nation?''
he was asked.
"For the United States" he replied

in all the zones from the arctic to tn,

Consequently we can produce al

nations of Europe the things that the,

to do this we shall not suffer-

question. Suppose, for example,

Again there was that expression o
wrath which was first exhibited whel
his age came into question.
"Shoot himself? Shoot himself?'

N. J. WANTS NATIONAL GUARD
Adjutant General Says Two Com
panies Are Needed to Preserve Peace

panies Are Needed to Preserve Peace
Trenton, April 16.-Governor Edge,
through Adjutant General Gilkyson.
has officially presented to the chief of
the militia bureau, at Washington, q
request for authority to organize at
once two regiments of infantry national
guard in this state. He wrote:
ITO meet any emergency within the
state during the period of the war there
were organized seven battalions aud two
separate companies of militia upon
which was expended from state funds
for uniforms, equipment and training
$500, 900; and I am of the opinion that
now that an early return to peace is
anticipated, the stae should be relieved
of the great expense Of further main
tanning a militia force.
During the past two months there
have been numerous labor difficulties in
many sections of the state, and at pres
ent there are strikes in Morris and
Passaic counties involving over 10000
laborers. The growing discomfort on
the part of labor and the large tempor
ary foreign population increase the
liability of riot and disorder. which
facts in my opinion justify the author
ization by the federal authorities of an
adequate military force for the purpose
of securing proper protection for. the
people and industries of the state, and
to meet any. emergency and suppress
riot or disorder which may arise beyond
the power of the local authorities to
Quell."

j. s. REFUSAL TO AID
JAPANESE JUSTIFIED
Americans in Siberia Held
AIoof Under instructions
From Washington
GENERAL. GRAVES CAUTIOUS

Washington, April 16..-1t was
learned authoritatively today that there
were no American troops in the vicin-
ity when a japanese unit in Siberia
was wiped out recently by Russians,
as reported in dispatches from Toxic
and Nladivostok.
Reports that Americans refused to
90 to the. aid of the japanese have
arisen, it was explained, because Major
General W. s. Graves, the American
commander in Siberia, acting in ac-
cordance with his instructions, declined
to join in an attack upon force of
Russians whom he did not regard as
Bolsheviki or enemies. General
Gravess position was made known
when the japanese commander applied
for co operation in advance. The Jap
anese nevertheless undertook the ex-
pedition alone, and when the fighting
actually occurred there were no Ameri =
cans in striking distance.
1t was recalled by officials today that
General Graves had been specifically
warned to abstain from interfering with
any factional fights in Siberia and eau =
toned not to mix in the political situa :
ton. 1t was pointed out that the va :
rious uprisings in Siberia had resulted
in the charge of Bolshevism against
the defeated party in every instance.
1t was stated also that it was without
the province of the United States to
defend any political faction or to try
to define the term ''bolshevik" as used
in eastern Siberia.
! The three factions led by Kalmakoff
and Semenoff, the Cossack chicftains,
aud by General Horvath have each in
turn been branded as bolshcvik by their
opponents. American authorities have
refused to support any one of these
leaders against the others. Charges
have been made, however, that the
japanese have been actively supporting
one or another faction during the dis
turbances that have arisen in the Nladi
vostok region.
1t is understood in official circles her'
that the British and French forces arr
under instructions similar to those giver
General Graves and have consistently
maintained the same attitude.

Recognition Of the republic Of Korea
was requested today in petitions sent
to President Wilson and the Peace
Conference at Paris by the Korean Con-
gress in session at the Little Theatre.
1t was pointed out in the petitions
that Korea was an independent kingdom
until 1905; that it desires to develop
as free country and that the United
States was party to the covenant in
1882, guaranteeing the integrity and in
dependence of Korea.
Both petitions were phrased in vir-
tually the same language. The petition
to President Wilson follows:
"We the representatives Of all the
Koreans residing outside of Korea,
here in Philadelphia April ii to 16,
have the honor to request you to recog-
nize the republic of Korea, organized
March I, 1919, representing the will Of
the entire Korean race of more than
twenty million people.
"The provisional government is re-
publican in form, and it's guiding spirit
is that of true democracy. Men of lib
eral education and mostly of high Chris
tian character, constitute this govern
ment. Our sole aim is to regain the in
alienable right of self determination SC
that we may be able to develop as q
free people under the guiding principle
of Christian democracy.

that Korea was an Independent king

this request to you in recognition o
your splendid championship of inter.
national justice and also to you as chic

has always stood for democracy ant
the right of small nations.

COUNTY years old? I should say not.
~ would like to lay my hands on
the man who says I am sixty years
old ~
Thus Adolph Segal. builder of mil
lions. recently married to beautiful
New York pianist, opened an interview
at the Hanover Hotel, where he is liv-
ing. as he himself expresses it. "ncog.
nito."
Mr.. Segal. whose sensational finan-
cial exploits astonished the nation and
resulted in one mans suicide. is going
to rebuild his fortunes on greater
scale than ever before, he says. Re-
leased from a sanitarium, where he re-
mained for two years and three months
he has already arranged fer the con-
struction of giant sugar refinery at
Wilmington, Del, he asserts. and has
"other operations which include the
purchase of newspaper. He will mum =
Der his employees today by the thou

The former millionaire does not
show even the fifty three years that lie
says are mis-. Save for his graying hair
and mustache he might pass for man

'Is Mrs. Segal in Philadelphia ~
was question which brought an out
burst.
1T is outrageous to say she is twenty
years DID," said Segal. 'She is thirty
four years old. Beautiful? yes; but no

"Will your system of finance be diff
ferent in the future from what it was:''
he was asked.
"Will your publisher change his
views overnight" he counter -ques-
questioned.
Never Dishonorable
II have never done dishonorable
thing nor hurt any man who did not
first try to hurt me-" he added. "My
object in life has been to build. That is
what I will do for the rest of my life
but on a bigger scale than before. I
feel that l am building now for human :
ity."
The constructor of the Bartram
Apartments, the Majestic Hotel aud the
giver of thousands of dollars to Phila
delphia charities will be the same in
future as he was in the past-so he
said.
1T is not for money that work, but
for achievement" was his way of put
ting it.
And then the discussion swerved tc
the more personal topics. How had he
