will give way before the league OF

The impressions seems to be that

MES finally will he arranged by the
five great powers, without reference
to the peace conference at plenary
session or to the various commissions.
The Pacific islands phase of the
colonial claims is particularly inter
csting to the American representa-
tiveS. This is because of the Ameri-
can interests in the Pacific, notably
through American possession of Hal
wall and the Philippines.
There has been 70 official announce
mcnt of what Japan proposes the
powers should give her for her part
in The war. There have been reports
that Japan was willing to turn kai-
Chau back to China. but wished to
retain the German rights to the de-

has been no indication of how faI
she would press her claims to the

In the French press as placing the

ianship of the league Of nations.
The league woull appoint one Of
its members to administer them.

as generous and noble, but apprehends
some likelihood of difficulty in putting

MAY MEAN MUCH 70 WORLD
Aviators Believe That Flying Is Bound
to Have Great influence on the
Minds of Men.

Flying, in the opinion Of British
aviators, is going to change the char
acter of the worlds thought. 1t will
have q broadening influence and it
will bring a fresher, cleaner flow Of
ideas into the brains Of men.
A man, the flyers argue, who has
seen before him at the same time the
cliffs of England, the long fiat fields of
Holland and the smiling countryside
of Belgium and France is bound to
think in q different way than a man
whose horizon has always been bound
eG by bricks and mortar, or even by
hill and dale.
Travelling may have made him think
nationally, but flying will make him
think far more largely. He will see
England and France lying close to
each other, separated only by shin
ing strip of water. He will see the
green and brown mosaic of Belgium,
which in its turn merges into the dis
tant shadow of Holland, while, still
farther on, across the wide Scheldt
he will see the distant 1owlands sweep
on over the rim of the world.
How will he regard petty spites be-
tween individuals and cliques then?
the birdman asks. He can cover with
his thumb from the heights q fever
ish city swarming with a million peO-
pie. What will he think of those who
live next to each other and will not
speak? How mean and petty their
quarrels and jealousies and hates will
seem.
The true meaning Of human inter.
course and friendship will come home
to him. He will gain an almost divine
outlook upon the world. Dishonesty,
civil strife, all will seem to him
contemplate. Perhaps, say the avia-
tors, this is the new view which will
bring the millennil..n.
