delicate China place 1t in a pan OF
cold water. Let it come gradually tc
a boil and allow the china to remain
in the water till cold" This tempers

All but Japanese
Agree to Colonies
M0ndotory Plan

PARIS, Feb. 13 (By The Associated
Press).-Japan has not yet agreed to
the plan for making her a mandatary
for the Caroline and Marshall islands.
Whlle the other powers have virtually
agreed TO the mandatory principle and
are willing to accept direction of the
various German colonies, Japan de-
sres more complete definition of the
plan under which the two groups Of
Pacific islands will be intrusted to her
and fuller statement of the kind of
international control and supervision
which will be received by the society
of nations.
In discussing this question to-day
with the correspondent a member Of
the Japanese delegation said the Jap
anese have great pride in their
achievements in the Pacific, and feel
that as reward for their military and
naval activity they should be permit
ted to extend their culture and civili-
zation to the two groups of islands,
which are inhabited by undeveloped
peoples.
If the society of nations desires
standardization and unifcation of de
velopment of the captured German
colonies which would prevent Japan
from giving distinctly japanese char
acter to the Marshall and Caroline isl
ands the plan would not be acceptable
to Japan, as it would hurt the national
pride of her people, the delegate said.

Sy1ians Here Demand
Turks BE Punished

The New Syria National League

tic punishment for Enver Pasha and
Talaat Pasha, Germanophile leaders
in Turkey, who we're declared in the
messages to be responsible for Ar
menian and Syrian massacres. DR..
George |. Kheiralla, president of the
league, said that the messages were
sent in response to letters from thou
sands of Syrians in the United States.
1t was stated in the messages:
"Enver Pasha and Talaat Pasha, the
Turkish Ministers most responsible
for these outrages, are living on the
very life blood o. the Syrians. These
two men are in Switzerland enjoying
freedom and plenty while their vic
TINS, starving and in rags, are trying
to exc out an existence while repair
ing the damages they have done. We
petition you, as leaders of freedom
and as apostles of justice, not to per-
nit Enver Pasha and Talaat Pasha to
escape just retrbution. We beg
that they meet a punishment fiji for
their crimes"

German Field Army
Cut TO 100, 900 Men:
$50, 900 are at Home

LONDON, Feb. 49, The domobliza-
ton of Germany's old army is almost
completed, according to authoritative
information here. After Saturday,
when the 1916 and 1917 classes will
be disbandcd, the German army will
consist of about 100000 men on the
eastern front and the 1913 and 1919
classes, numbering about $50, 600 men.
VIE be kept as a standing army.
Efforts of the German authorities to
recruit volunteers for the army have
beer unproductive, but the official view
here is that they may be more success
ful later Men who have been in the
army for four years do not have a
great desire to continue in the fighting
forces, but it is expected that thev viii
find civil life in Germany less attrac-
tive than the army. and therefore
probably will be willing to enlist later.
Recruiting also is hindered by the fact
that nearly every hamlet is trying to
raise It's own defense force.

Wilson Would FAVOR
Var Agair, Only if
Foe Baked at Terms

PARIS, Feb. 13.-The Supreme War
Council has decided, says Havas re-
port, that the armistice with Germany
will be renewed on February II for a
very brief period, with the Allies re-
serving the right to suspend it at any
time in the event of Germany's failure
to carry out new clauses or those which
have hitherto not been executed. 1t IS
said the terms will provide that the
Germans must cease hostilties against
the Poles and maintain their forces
within fixed limits.
During the brief period of the re-
rewed armistice q special commission
will definitely draft the conditions of
an armistice which will last till the
signature of the peace preliminares.
These conditions, which the Supreme
War Council is reported TO have ap-
proved in rough form yesterday
afternoon, have in view, it is said the
and the disarmament of the enemy
under the supervision of the Allies.
These terms, it is understood, will be
communicated to Germany so that the
National Assembly at Weimar will have
time to deliberate upon them until the
provisional armistice expires.
Marshal Foch left for Trcvcs to-day
after Intervening Premier Clemenceau
1t is reported that M. Clemenceau
made an impressive speech at yester-
days sitting of the Supreme Council,
showing the necessity of taking all de-
sirable precautions against Germany
At the afternoon sitting, President
Wilson is declared to have adopted the
same viewpoint, affirming that all the
Allies were agreed on that point and
that Emergencies which cropped up
during previous discussions bore solely
on the most suitable methods of OBJ
tanning the necessary guarantees
President Wilson, according to the
report, is understood to have declared
IN conversation that resumption of
hostilltles was a grave eventuality to
which he would agree only on the most
absolutely essential considerations and
not for any secondary motive The re-
port states that, in Mn Wilson's opin-
ION, the non-execution of terms of the
armistice by Germany would be an in
cident of such n nature as to Justify
the resumption OF war, and it is stated
that he would not hesitate in that case
to order the American army to take up
arms again.
