JAPS WON'T REPLY
Can't Make Absolute Statement
on Shantung Now, Says Vehida.
u. s. Hinted Announcement
Was Desirable.

Toxic, Sept. 16 ((delayed) Japan
will not make an absolute statement
regarding return of Shantung to
China, despite hints from Washington
that such a statement is desirable, ac-
cording to an announcement the for
eign minister is reliably reported to
have made to the diplomatic council.
Foreign Minister Uchida is reliably
reported to have told the diplomatic
council" says the Jill Shimbun, that
Japan cannot predict events which de-
pend upon negotiations between Toxic
and Peking, which will be opened at
the earliest opportunity"
The United States government has
made no formal announcement of
having asked Japan to state her posi-
ton with regard to the return of
Shantung to China. altho recent re-
ports have said that a friendly note"
on the subject was transmitted to To-
kio. The president, too, has suggest
ed in his speeches that Japan would
announce her plans for return of the
colony TO China and the Japanese for
eign minister may have based his
statement on President Wilson's ut
terances.
The diplomatic council in Japan is
an advisory body, acting with the gov
ernment principally in relation to for
eign affairs

HIS GREAT RECORD
President WOmer's Success as
Washburn Head.
Dean Hughes Writes of Pres
ent Administration.
rhe Editor Topeka State journal.

The Editor Topeka State Journal
Dear Sir-I have just read with
much interest and pleasure your edi-
torial in today's issue of the State
Journal entitled 1.-The Washburn At
fair" Your attitude and views with
respect to this deplorable matter are
richly deserving of the strongest ap-
proval of every real friend of Wash
burn college. Continued publicity of
the affair would do Washburn col
lege incalculable harm and it would
do no one any good. Professor Kirk
patrick has a position in another edu-
cational institution and President
Womer, who has rendered Washburn
college such exceedingly valuable
services during the last four years,
services to the college as it's executive
head for many years to come.
When Doctor Womer became presi-
dent of Washburn college four years
ago he found it in a very deplorable
condition. The endowment was very
meager, salaries were pitifully small,
the buildings and equipment were in
poor condition, and the system of
organization and management anti
quated.
After sizing up the whole situation
and discussing the matter fully with
the board of trustees and the faculty
heads of the various departments,
EOIliGA PlOPOSCd oil SldbOL
ate program covering a period of eight
or ten years. This program was in
dorsed by the board and President
Womer entered upon his mammoth
undertaking, and during his four
years administration what has he ac-
complished? Among his most impor-
tant achievements are the following:
He has acquired an endowment for
Washburn college of half a million
dollars. He has liquidated completely
its huge debt. He has increased sal
aries in general upon three different
occasions and intends to continue in
creasing them as rapidly as the income
from the big endowment will permit.
He has had all the buildings on the
campus overhauled and repaired, and
has succeeded in getting the finances
of the college in such excellent condi-
ton that the board of trustees is on
the verge of letting a contract for a
new dormitory which will cost $780,
900. And last, but not least, he has
installed in Washburn college a pro-
gressive and up-to-date system of or
ganizauon and management in the
place of the antiquated system which
existed when he accepted the presi-
dency.
That an alarming state of unrest OBJ
tains the world over is apparent to
all. Pacifism is in great demand,
rather than agitation. Let US all do
our part in pouring oil on the troubled
waters. T. W. HUGHES,
Dean Washburn Law School.
