u. S. Will Lead World,
Predicts Japanese Writer

TOXIC, Dec 31~-If Japan desires to
become industrially strong she should
shape her future policy IN accordance
with that OF the United States, de-
clares f. Uehara, former member Of
Parliament, IN an article in Jap
ancse magazine. Mr.. Uchara attempts
to explode the theory that Japan must
acquire territory in order TO develop
herself from an industrial standpoint.
Instead, he proposes industrial, coopcr-
alton with the United States.
Il have no doubt" he writes. "that
the conclusion of peace will find the
United States in a position to lead the
world in the matter Of thought as well
as IN economies. 1t would, therefore.
be the height CT unwisdom for Japan
TO shape her future policy otherwise
than in accordance with the policy Of
the United Statcs. Not only the Pa

People of Pacific Islands
Don't Want German Rule
Authority Praises
Work of Japan in the
Marshall Islands

SYDNEY, Australia, Nov. 23.-In not
a single island in the Pacific formerly
ruled by Germany do the natives de-
sire return of the German domina-
tlon, says Thomas j. Mcmahon, an Aus
traiian authority on the affairs of the
PACING islands who has recently re-
turned from an extended tour in the
Central Pacific. He visited Nauru
island and the Marshall group, which
were German possessions before the
war.
Wherever he travelled among the
former German colonies in the Pacific,
Mr. Mcmahon said, he found that the
rermans had made no effort properly
10 develop commercial advantages. but
hao IN several cases devoted them
selves I'VE, to the strategic opportunities.
Inc natives Of Nauru have asked
the government to preserve them from
a reestabllshmcnt Of German govern
Inent there" said Mr.. McMahon.
IN the Marshall Islands," said Mr..
Mcmahon, Il was much impressed by
Japanese industry. What thew have
already done in the Marshalls will
bring nothing but praise from evcrv-
body. The Germans shamefully neg
lected the Marshall islanders, as thev
oid all other natives, but during the
last three or four years the Japanese
nave been Systematically building up
the people, educating them and makinr
or them very creditable race" Ny
Mcmahon said, in speaking OF the re .
lation of the Central Pacific Islands n
Australia, that "they were the half.

Entente Disposed
OF Serbia's Rights,
Says DIR. Veslnitch
Believes Pacts Are Void Be-
cause of Americas Posi-
hon and as a Result of
The Downfall OF Russia

PARIS, Jan. (By The Associated
Press France, England and Russia,
in their treaties with Italy and Ru-
mania, disposed of Serbian rights" said
DR.. NJ. r. Vesnitch, Premier of Serbia,
to-day in an interview given The As
sociated Press.
"Rumania lost her bargain when she
began peace negotiations with the Cen
trail Powers in 1917" he continued.
Does the treaty OF 1915 between Italy
and France, England and Russia re
garding the eastern coast Of the Adri
attic stlll stand in international law?
There are two facts which would
seem to negative this question. Amer
lea entered the war after the signing
avowed enemy of secret treaties, and
the Entente accepted that principle.
Further, at the time of the signing of
this treaty Italy wanted the territory
IN question as q protection against
Slavish domination, backed by Russian
power. But with the political up
heaval in Russia this situation has dis
appeared. The time is over, it seems to
me, when an imperialistic policy might
be favored in Europe.
"Why should not the nations of the
others?
Nations at Peace Farley
"At the peace conference there will
be represented four different kinds of
nations. First, those who entered the
war with the idea of domination: sec
ond, those who were defending them
selves; third, those who entered it with
high ideals, like America, and fourth.
those who entered it as business
proposition. Unhappily for Serbia,
those nations surrounding her belong
to the last named class.
Il believe that Serbia will demand to
know on what basis she enters the
peace conference, and | think that in
so doing she will have the assistance
of America. President Wilson has an
nounced that the United States came
INTO the war to abolish secret treaties
Ii America enters the conference with
such treaties to be considered, then
what will the people of the world think =?
What credit will be given in future
TO those speaking on behalf and in the
name of the United States?
Some of these treaties were made
with reference to nations who We're not
consulted, and the governments con-
Guiding them had no right to dispose of

different peoples throughout the world
had responded TO the appeal to their
idealism had touched him.
A vast crowd awaited the President
outside the church and gave him a most
cordial greeting.
The official luncheon given by Am
hassador Page ard Mrs. Page in honor
of President Wilson was attended by
King Victor Emmanuel and Queen
court officials. An American military
band in the courtyard played the ltal-
lan and American national airs. There
was q most cordial tone to the con
.versations engaged in by President VIII

Orlando and Foreign Minister Sonnino
Visits Historic Spots
In their tour of Rome to-day Presi-
dent and Mrs Wilson visited the Colos-
scum and. the arches of Constantine,
Titus ana Septimius Severas. Upon
entering the Roman Forum they were
met by the noted archeologist, Profes-
sor Gacomo Boni, who presented them
with branches of laurel and myrtle.
Professor Boni explained that in the
olden days of Rome the laurel signi-
fed puriiication after having shed the
blood Of an enemy. and the myrtle af
ter having shed blod in civil war.
To-day offer these symbols 10 you.
The upholder of the freedom and civ
ilzaeion of peoples" said Professor
boni to the President.
Continuing their tour through the
Sacred Way. the sHouse of the Vestal
Virgins and the tomb of Romulus,
Pres ident Wilson exclaimed: "These
sacred symbols speak a great and pro
found languagel" To which Professor
Boni added: s'You Americans have
something NOSE sacred still, but you
carry it in your hearts--a love for hu-
manity."
Meanwhile that wondrous region
comprising the Forum, the Palatine,
The Capitol and the Colosseum became
black with crowd of the populace,
climbing the ruins, the broken columns,
the arches and the tombs and acclaim
ing America as the modern champion
of the civilization which had its birth
there nearly 5000 years ago.

Kansas to Raise
Greatest Crop of
Wheat in History
Full Crop on Il,I84,OOO
Acres Would Total 2OO.-
100000 Bushels, Valued
at $500, 100000

KANSAS CITY. Mo, Jan. 5.-A re-
port by Edward C. Paxton. field sqant
Tor the Federal Department of Agri-
culture, declares that Kansas. with H.
l84,00O acres, has 22S per cent of all
the winter wheat area OF the United
States.
full crop on this enormous acre
age, which is IS per cent larger than
the record acreage of last wear. would
total 200,0O0,0OO bushels, or more than
onc-third Of the sos, ,3O4 900 bushels for
the average annual consumption in the
United States, the report saws.
ouch a production, with a guaran
teed price of So bushel, would brine
Kansas $400000,oOO. The December re :
port states that the average condition
is 9S per cent.
Acreage Breaks State Record
Not only is this the largest acreage
OF wheat ever sown in a single STATE
put 1T is probably the largest acreage
ever devoted to single grain crop by
any state" says the report. "The
e%as cotton crop is possibly the only
state ate, crop that ever cxcelled it in area.
The largest acreage is reported in
eastern and central counties. Manv
counties have more than doubled their
acreage, Bourbon County leading with
an increase Of 232 per cent"
The winter wheat acreage in Mis-
souri is 5,243,000; Oklahoma, $3.50 900.
and Nebraska, SSH, 900. The condi-
ton in these three states for Dccembcr
is given as 100 per cent.
Mobilizing Great Army
A campaign for mobilizing a great
army to harvest the 1919 crop. is being
worked out by the Kansas City Office
or A. l.. Barkman, assistant to the
Director General of the Federal EN-
ployment Service, in charge of West
ern farm labor. Last year the Fed
erai employment offices supplied full
half of the 10000 men used in Kansas
and Oklahoma harvest fields. 1t is ex
pected many thousand more hands will
be needed for the 1919 yield. Women,
children and business and professional
men responded to the "Wheat Won't
wait" call and helped gather the big
war crop.
A. A. Chalkcr, of the Kansas Citv
office of the employment service, said
labor prospects were encouraging. Re-
lease OF soldiers and sailors is expect
ed to greatly relieve the situation. A
plan of properly distributing the army
OF workers has been mapped out. After
the Kansas Oklahoma crop has been
garncred the men will move to North
crn states and later some of them will
go into Canada. Wages in Kansas and
oklahoma last year ranged from 81 to
$3.50 day with board.

Britons Disagree
On Daniels's Talk
OF Greatest Navy
One Faction Thinks =. S.
Aim Is to Help Police Seas
While Othea. Believes We
Are WELDING Big Stick
By F. A. Wray
Neu York Tribune

LONDON, Jan. a. Secretary Dan
iels's speeches evoke two opinions here,
one section holding that he is carrying
out reasonable policy, now that the
United States is facing the necessity
of the creation of strong navy COM
petent to share in Great Britan's work
Of policing the seas. The other section
thinks Mn Daniels is provoking an
unnecessary race in naval armament
with Great Britain, menacing the rela
tions of the two peoples and pointing
pistol at this country. while Mr.. Will
son is wooing it in soft words
In justice to the latter section it
must be admitted that Mr. Daniels's
pronouncements during Mr. Wilson's
voyage, II taken more seriously here,
might have jeopardized the whole OBJ
ject Of the journey.
Calls 1t Big Stick
"The Pail Mall Gazette" tonight dis
cusscs the Secretary of the Navy. 1t
says:
"Clearly Mr.. Daniels's opinion is
that those VINO cannot be persuaded
with grace must be driven with a big
stick. 1t would be an affectaton to
assume that his words are not pointed
directly at the British Empire. We are
the power invested with the incom-
parably greatest navy at the present
time. 1t is our position that would be
most affected by fresh competition.
"lt is scarcely probable, however,
that any pulse will beat faster than the
pulse of these islands for Daniels's an
nouncement, although we may specu-
late as to the chain of reas soning where
by ne is led to append this penal clause
to the peace conference. A very slight
show him that Britain does not keep
the largest navy for any reason but
dlre necessity, as many of his own
countrymen first came to recognize
Desire Easier Naval Burden
at wasn't many years before the
war when we endeavored to persuade
Germany to mutual reduction of
fleets.
Among II the powers now represent
ed IN Paris there is none more anxious
than ourselves to find a policy that
VIII ease the naval burden. Pending
such relief we will doubtless regulate
our armaments as before, according
TO the needs of our island situation
ana those Of the scattered depend
cies
But Mr.. Daniels is quite mistaken
If he supposes that we see menace
in even the highest expansion Of the
American navy In such develop
ment we see nothing but a fresh bull
wark to peace of civilization and the
partnerships in the responsibilities
that we hitherto have borne almost
singlehanded.
Only one fear is awakened by Mr..
Daneis's words, and that is lest they
may lead many Americans to /thinl,
that the President is more needed in
Washington than in Europe"

German Factories Hum
rs France Binds Wounds

pARIS, Jan. 5.-The correspon-
a dent Of the "Petit Journal"
with the French armies draws
strong contrast between conditions
in the cities and throughout the
country in France and Germany.
France, he says, although victori-
Gus, is still bleeding from innu-
merable wounds, whereas van
quished Germany already is re-
pairing the havoc Of defeat, and
bustling activity has been resumed
in some of the factories.
After depicting the woes in the
devastated regions, the correspon-
dent adds:
travellers returning from Ger
many report that Germany is
virtually unscathed and that in
some places the people even pre-
serve hope of revenge. Life goes
on as formerly, looms are in oper-
alton, engines are humming and
reconstruction work already is un-
der way. In France, on the con-
trary, mine shafts must be con-
solidated and reinforced, houses
and cities rebuilt and fields lev
elled."

There will be no real bcttcrment in
the situation until three vital things
are accomplished: First, vastly in.
creased industrial productions; second
a larger output of wealth, and. third
enormously increased importations Of
food supplies from overseas
Asked whether the people would not
pay chcerfully the high prices if the
public mind were cleared of many sus-
picions, due mainly to profiteering, Mr.
Clynes said:
i frankly admit there is prohtcerinr
IN some staple foods, but little or none

Also, Il IS the essential duty Of the

The public wanted certain foods. 1t was
our business to supply them. Does it
occur to our critics that If we reduce
prices of certain foods below certain
level, making an abnormal wartime
profit possible, the producers of these
foods will turn their capital and labor
TO other purposes ?"
Replying to the question as to wh,

No Indian now living can remember

greeted their arrival and nearly all the
visitors were massacred by the Wran-

Unsatisfactory Showing of Touted

New ork. May s0.-There are vague
rumors that something is about to
happen among the Boston Red Sox
The very unsatisfactory showing made
this spring by the team which was
picked by many to run away with the
American league pennant is causing
concern to Ed Barrows, manager, and
Harry Frazee. president of the club
Those whispers which have been
waited among baseball men say that
Bobby Roth. outfielder for the Ath-
letics and captain of that club, is about
to be traded to Boston for Jack Barry
some other changes also being men,
toned. Roth, it is said, has disap-
pointed Connie Mack and Barrow has
kept Barry on the bench most of the
time to give Dave Shean the second
base job
Barrow has been badly in need of a
right handed outfielder. Every fly
chaser now performing in the garden
for the worlds champions swings from
the left hand side of the plate, with
the exception of Del Gainor, who plays
infrequently. And Gainor can hardly
be classed as an outfielder.
Ed Barrow knows far too much of
baseball to continue as the club is go
ing now. If the dope as presented
here doesn't turn out it only means
that the deal has been abandoned and
that some other roll of the dice will
be tried.
The Yankees are after an outfielder
who can adequately fill the role of
lead-off man. They have an excellent
young outfielder in Sam Wick and also
Something might happen between the
