REJECTION OF


sions.
THE action was taken between s
and l o'elOek on the night of April 10.
"The text Of the unfortunate amend
ment, which Japan claimed fer lnser-
ton in tht preamble was to endorse
the principle Of equality Of nations
and Just treatment of their nationals
"This phase was the last form upon
which Japan could compromise after
having been erumpled, along with many
friendly British and American dele
gates, who sympathized with Japan,
and attempted to persuade the strong
est opponents of the Japanese desires,
who declared they would return home
if the phrase should be inserted by the
league.

some skill. Here's its beak l

ENGLAND MAKES
 NEW AERSHIP

London, Feb. 3-Naval authorities announce that the rigid airships" of the super-Zeppelin type now under construction in Great Britain will be at least twice as good as anything Britain now possesses and probably superior to any other airships in the world"
 Although no details of these new airships have been made public the naval authorities say the German modern super-Zeppelin have a capac- ity of approximately 2,0OO,000 cubic feet of gas, and possess a range of action from 4,00O to 5000 miles with a maximum full speed of about 75 miles an hour and the ability to rise to a height of about 10000 feet.
 It is claimed that the rigid air ships now in use or about to be con structed could, in settled weather, cross the Atlantic and return without descending. It is also asserted that a rigid airship of 10,000,00O cubic feet capacity could carry a commercial ! load of about 15O tons over such q distance as the transatlantic pass age. Naval authorities are quoted here as saying. that the building of these huge airships Is a practicable ! proposition.

LABOR IN JAPAN.

TolIto, Feb. 3.-(Correspondence of The Associated Press) The labor question is receiving wide attention in Japan. The Home Office of the Imperial Government has tablished a Relief Works Committee to deal with the problem of unemployment t due to the cessation of war-Work. A firm policy is favored on the ground that freedom of hold ing meetings does not tend to lessen labor discomfort, and that in Japan, permission to organ ize unions does not seem as promis- ing as the establishment of a Labor Arbitration Court.
 Meanwhile a radical and inter- esting step has been taken by K. Matsukata, president of the Kawa- saki Dock Co.,, of Kobe, who, in dis tributing about $5,000,0O0 profits a. the end of the year, has allotted three-fourths to his workmen and other employees as against one-fourth to the directors of the company. MT | Matsukata is a graduate of Yale and the richest son of Marquis Matsukata one of the four remaining Genro ol Elder Statesmen of the Empire.
 Japan's one labor organization. the | Yuaikai, has sent his president l Bunji Suzuki, to a Labor Congress 1T l Europe. He is pledged to work fol 1 free immigration of laborers, whicl his society regards as the one ques | ton of vital importance to Japan The Yuaikai has about 30,000 mem

Tess of the storm Country" g'ves every indication of a succession of enthusiastic receptions at the Lyric theatre all this week. As played by the POH Players the play will lose none of its merits.
 Miss Alice Clements, the versatile leading woman of thee ompany will portray the character of Tess" who is at first a favorite and then summed by all who knew her because they believe her to be the mother of an illegitimate child while she in fact is shielding another woman whom she loves.
 Her sweetheart Is portrayed by Clay Clement the able leading man of the company and those who know his work need no further introduc- ton.
 Other members of the company have been cast for parts best suited to their personality and the credit for the selections mcst be given to Willard Dashiell the popular director of the company. Every member of the regular company will participate and several additional artists have been brought here from New York to assist in putting on this famous drama.

Anniversary of the
 Birth of Alden, Inventor
 of Typesetting Machines

Timothy Alden, who was born in Barnstable, Mass, ninety-six years ago today Feb. 3, 1923, was the first to invent a typesetting machine. In
 his boyhoOd Timothy was appren- ticed to a printer, He was a born inventor, and almost from his first
 day in the printing office he began to
 think of plans for improving the rvarious processes connected with the
 typographical art. He invented seV-
 eral machines connected with print
 ing before he turned his attention to
 the mechanical setting of type. After
 several years of study, he produced
 his first model of a typesetting ma
 chine in 1846. This machine consist
 ed of a horizontal rotating wheel
 with type-CeIIs on its circumference, making receivers rotate with it to pick out the type at the proper places. This appliance was ingenius, but it effected no improvement over hand composition. Timothy Alden died in Boston in 1858, and his brother Henry later made several i'm i provements in the machine. Timothy | Alden's machine had the merit of set | ting others to think about the same
 problem, with the result that hand | composition is rapidly becoming a 1 thing of the past.

EGGS AND CREAM
 FOR US. BOYS

New York, Feb. 3-Eggs in any style, ice cream of any quality and an American woman to serve them that sums up the requirements neces- sary to keep the American soldier happy overseas now that he has fin ished the job for which he left home judging from letters received by the womens canteen division of the Young Mems Christian Association. If the American woman is there, the soldier will forego if necessary the eggs and the ice cream. More than 1900 women are now overseas in ''Y" uniform, it is announced.
 Mrs, Rebecca Ely, of New York city who was sent to France in the latter part of 1917, tells a story that begins with one boy bringing her a present to show his appreciation of many things she had done for him. You must promise to eat this all yourself, Mrs. Ely" he said. Its a surprise"
 The surprise" proved to be what was a rare treat in France-a half dozen fresh eggs. Eggs were then being sold, when any one was lucky enough to get them at all, at 12 francs a dozen. Mrs. Ely went back to the barracks carrying the eggs. An or derly came out to meet her and said that a sick officer was asking for her, and would she please come. She went and found a very depressed patient.
 'W~ats the use, Mrs. Ely? You couldn't give me what l want" grumbled the officer, in reply to her questions.
 Maybe I could-try and see."
 Nope, they don't grow in these parts. The only thing I really want is a couple of poached eggs. That's what I'd have if I were home"
 All right" said Mrs. Ely, produc- ing her treasures to a very astonished young man. How would some tea go with that order?"
 So for three days she made tea and poached eggs on toast for him with her own hands just as he would have had at home. At the end of that time he was so much better and more cheerful that he was able to mess in the barra acks.
 There was another time, at Belfort when an orderly brought Mrs. EIy word that a dying soldier wanted tc see her. When she went to the bed side she found boy she had ofter served at mess.
 T wish I had some ice cream came a pleading voice from a weak parched throat
 Now ice cream was an impossible thing in that part of France. Bu Mrs. Ely said he should have slime She made boiled custard and frozt it by the skillful use of pail O. frozen water that she found. Anc how good it tasted to that American boy when she fed it to him.
 Please make me some more to row" he said.
 He died that night
 The sick soldier is very much lik a little boy, and he longs for the littl attentions his mother would giv him. So that is what this woman and hundreds more of them hay done-been mothers to them
