LEAGUE TO RULE COLONIES
German Possessions Will Not Be Re-
turned, According to the Latest In
formation From the Peace
Conference at Paris.

Paris, Jan. 30.-England has agreed
to cede Gibraltar in Spain in exchange
for CeLta and Morocco. according to
the newspaper LIntrannsigeant.
Whatever ultimate decision is
reached by the peace congress on
their fate, one thing appears certain:
Germany win not be given back her
colonies.
This, 1t is understood has been
agreed upon unanimously by the dele
gates. with the understanding that
they will be put under the control of
the league of nations with trustee
ship divided among the several states.
AS outlined in dispatches West At
RIGA may go to France, most of the
Kamerun to the French Congo. with Il
portion to Nigeria German Southwest
Africa to the South African confeder-
alton. German East Africa TO Britain.

Australia. Caroline and Pelew islands
to either japan or Australia, the Mas
riana or Ladrone islands to Japan, the
Marshall islands to Japan or Aus
tralia. the Solomon Islands to Aus
tralia and the Samoan islands to
New Zealand.
Britain Fears Expense.
One argument against the leagues
control of the colonies advanced by
the British colonial officials was that
the manufactures" might feel them
selves saddled with enormous finan-
cial responsibilities in an effort TO de-
velop their wards, and yet be subject
to criticism in the event that they
failed to bring them forward.
President Wilson himself felt called
upon to answer this argument by the
statement that the American plan con-
templated that the mandatory power
would be liable only for administra-
tive expenses; other expenditures
would be made only when authorized
by the league, unless the colony was
able to finance itself out of its own re-
sources.
U. S. May Control Turkey.

to point where any attempt has been
made to assign particular nations to
these guardianships, the matter has
been the subject of special thought
and consideration.
In the case of America, it has been
suggested that owing to its large in
fiuence in Turkey through the numer-
Gus graduates at Robert college and
because of the conviction among the
Turks of the isinterestedness of
America, if it is called upon to assume
such charge. 1t might naturally first
take upon itself the guardianship not
only of Turkey in Europe, but also a
considerable portion of Turkeys for
mer provinces, including Armenia.

DIR. Brown Has Already Sent
Five to Lansing.

Five persons found infected with
social diseases were sent to Lansing
recently. according to a. statement
made this morning by DR.. Earl G.
Brown, city health officer.
There were two colored women and
two white men. But the real problem
was a l3-ycar-old colored boy. Doc
tor Brown did not know what to do
with the lad. He would not be ae-
cepted at the industrial school on ac-
count OF his infection and there
seemed to be no place to send him.
He could rot be kept under quaran-
tine in the city as the cost of a guard
would have been prohibitive. Judging
from the youngsters past history.
about which he was not at all un-
willing to enter into a discussion, the
health officer felt that it would be
criminal negligence to turn him loose
in the city to continue his passage
thru life with all the gusto Of a reg
ular Don Juan.
Has Led Wild Life.
This mere infant had accumulated
an experience in life in general that
far exceeded that of men twice his age.
He had acquired more general ornery-
ness than is usually found in men
many years his senior.
He told a tale of a life of philan-
dering that began when he was
cradle the world no longer held any
mysteries or illusions for him. He
knew.
a story that featured recently inn
pHcated two young negro girls. one
had lived twelve long years. The 9TH
er had seen only eleven summers but
she knew too we'll the language OF
the bright eys."
An unbelievable score of victims
have succumbed to the charms of this
willy, dusky Don Juan child. The
people of the races who originates in
the hot countries are more precocious
than those who inherit racial charac-
teristics from ancestors who grew up
in colder countries, says the health Of
ficer. Still eight years old is rather
an unusual age for any child to start
down the path that ends in the trag
edy that has befallen this negro lad.
The condition is entirely abnormal in
the opinion of the health officer.
lie Is n Moral Pervcrt.
There could be no doubt that
the boy would continue along the
lines his ambition seemed to lie. He
seemed to know lot of girls, mostly
older than himself In all his young
life he could remember of but very
few days that he had not been with
one~of them. ~
For this reason he could not be
turned loose. 1t was only after con-
sulting with various boards and final
ly obtaining an opinion from the at
torney general that Doctor Brown de-
cided to send the young Don Juan to
Lansing to see IL he could be cured.
In the opinion OF the health officer it
is too bad that there is no place where
a youngster of this sort could be sent.
The influence at Lansing will not be
effectual in leading him to a different
mode of life and the chances are he
will become more hardened than he is
already. The association with older
men will not improve him. But there
was no other way OF saving the boy or
protecting other persons from his ac-
tivities.
