Instruction and Entertainment.
In London especially, K. of c. clubs
have been opened in different parts
Of the city, equipped with large gym
nasiumS, reading and writing rooms,
piano and gramophones, plenty of
books and other reading matter, and
here are stationed efficient secre-
taries in charge, who receive the boys
and do their utmost to entertain and
divert their minds while they are in
London. If any of the men wish to
take up studies of any kind, the K. Of
G. furnish instructors to carry on this
kind of work, and every facility is Of
fered free of charge to make the
Yanks feel that their welfare is the
,, first and only consideration of this Or
ganization. At considerable expense
Commissioner Edgar A. Sharp has had
tub and shower baths put in the clubs,
which are free to the boys, and to
each club is attached a kitchen where
refreshments of all kinds can be
served, although the X. of C. does
not, like other war work organiza-
tions, attempt to furnish food except
in special cases, as it is felt the great
need is for the welfare of the soldier,
to see that he is supplied with good,
clean beds and entertainment suffi-
Gent to keep him away from vice and
society that would demOraliZe him.
Attached to each club is a leave sec
rotary, who organizes sightseeing par
! ties around the city, to show them the
historic places. Coaches and guides
are supplied free, and every month
an average of about 1000 men are
taken out in parties to tour London.
Lectures and Meetings.
| The K of G. has arranged for week.
| ly dances to be given at the various
clubs conducted by the organization
and any number of distinguished lee.
turers and speakers have been booked
to entertain the boys during the week
A real American jazz band of eight
pieces has been secured by the com
missioner to play for these dances
which are proving very popular and
keep the boys out of mischief. A sys
tenn of card Invitations has been inaug
urated, so that the girls attending are
carefully selected by those in charge
and no lady is admitted unless she
has card invitation extended by the
X. of c., so that the boys are giver
the benefit of the best feminine SO
ciety that can be secured in London
Commissioner Sharp is at present
communicating with the Community
Motion Picture Bureau, who do great
deal of war work for the K. OF G. IL
France and America to put on one OF
two moving picture shows for the sol
diers per week in the clubs. All Of
these activities constitute the servic,
that is being rendered by the Knight:
of Columbus, with the money that has
been furnished by fathers, mothers
relatives and friends of the boys il
khaki overseas, and a more wonder
full work can scarcely be imagined
which has not only a temporary bene
fit, but makes for the future happi
ness and success of those for whom
the service is carried on.

Want JUST PEACE
Japanese Delegates Inspired by
the Foreign Minister.
Have No Territorial Aspira-
tons in China Just Now.

Paris Jan. 27.-The japanese dele
cation will, in its attitude on ques-
lions coming before the peace con.
gress. be inspired by sentiments eX-
pressed by Viscount Uchida, the Jap
anese foreign minister, on the opening
of the diet at Toxic, Japan's senior
delegate, Baron Maxine. said to the
Associated Press. The japanese will.
possible to the conclusion of just and
permanent peace and neither expect
nor desire any territorial expansion in
China or Siberia, he said.
While declining to discuss with the
press any questions likely to come be-
fore the congress, Baron Maxine said:
Our minister of foreign affairs may
be regarded as having expressed the
views of the peace delegates in outlin-
ing the broad policies of Japan" He
disposed of any question as to Japan's
relation with Russia by declaring that
she neither intends nor desires to in
terfere in Russian affairs but is will
ing. if solicited, to aid Russia in re-
storing order.
Wants No Territory.
Viscount Uchida gave ample assur-
ances that Japan has no territorial
ambitions in China" said Baron Ma
klnO. ION the contrary we nave SOL
EMMY engaged to respect the political
and territorial integrity of China. Our
country proposes to demonstrate she
is a sincere friend of China by using
every endeavor to promote good will
and the common welfare"
Asked as to the disposition of Using
Tao, Baron Maxine again referred to
the Jreign minister's address in which
he said Viscount Uchida left no room
for doubt as to where Japan stands
hen he said that if at the peace con-
gress Japan was given the right freely
to dispose of Using Tao. she will hand
it back to China under the terms of
the notes exchanged between China
and Japan in May, 1915.
AT this time of changed and chang
ing conditions, when the past is being
buried and new hopes, ideals and
methods must rule the world, it is of
vital necessity that there be friendly
agreement and cooperation between
Japan and China. Mistakes on both
sides have resulted in complications,
while the misunderstanding have
been fostered assidiously by selfish in
terests. Yet, in spite of these
hindrances. trade between the two
countries has increased remarkably.
Today our commercial relations are
extremely close, and with the excep-
ton of the United States, our exports
to China are larger than to any other
country"

HURRY UP LEAGUE
Peace COnferees Meet Again
Today for That Purpose.
Smaller Nations Name Their
Delegates on Committees.
ANOTHER ORGANIZATION BUSY
Allied Society for League of
Nations Has Meeting.
Resolution Calls on Peace Dele
gates To Work Hard.
ANOTHER ORGANIZATION BUSY

Paris. Jan. 27.-The league of ma
tons today was the chief subject under
consideration by the peace delegates
The principal development was to
h selection by the smaller nations of
their five delegates on each of the spe-
cial committees created Saturday. The
leag que of nations commission was gen.
orally accepted as the most important
of the session.
Working along side this commission
will be an unofficial organization, the
allied societies for the league of ma
tons. 1t held its Initial meeting Sun
day night and intends to continue in
session turnout the peace conference
with the object of furnishing a clear
ing house for information to assist the
official committee.
Need Right and just Peace.
James Thomas. head of the British
railway men. made a striking speech
at the first meeting of the allied
societies, warning that there is state
of actual revolt thruout the world
which will not end until right and
Just peace" is established. He recalled
President Wilson's statement that IF
the contribution of the governments to
peace equals the contribution of the
peoples to war, there is no doubt about
the result" and declared that no Brit
iSh statement ever more fittingly de-
scribed the prospects of the league of
nations.
81 hope to meet the Germans in a
few days" declared Thomas, referring
to the fact that he will go to the inter-
national labor and Socialist confer
ence in Berne. Noting the effect of
this statement, Thomas turned directly
to Lord Cecil, British representative
on the league of nations committee.
and repeated, Il hope to meet the Ger
mans in a few days" Cecil smiled
and Thomas continued: 81 want to
tell them We allies saved you. You
may not know it. but We did Now
it is up to you to save yourselves and
help save the world"
Cecil also addressed the meeting
and asked those present keep before
tie public the fact that the league of
nations will not be successful unless
each nation is prepared to sacrifice
something.
A resolution presented by Thomas
was adopted, calling upon the peace
delegates to concentrate their efforts
on formation of the league.

THE U. S. ATTITUDE
Secretary Houston J; = OF Reasons
for Silence on Wheat Acreage

ST. Louis, Jan. 27.-David F. Hous-
ton, secretary of agriculture, today,
in explanation of why the government
is not urging farmers to plant larger
crops of wheat next spring. in the face
of the lifting of the food adni lis
trations order to use substitutes and
the representation of the urgent need
abroad, said that people fail to take
note of the fact that crops planted in
the spring will not be available for the
market until next fall. when conci-
lions will be changed.
The farmers planted last fall seven
million acres more of wheat than they
did at any previous time and the in
dications are that the spring plant
will be on a very large scale he
said. THE question is. can the crop
of $2.26 a bushei on No. 1 winter
wheat?
The prospects are that the yield
of which amount about $50, 900. ot 0
Will Europe take the surplus after a
season of producing on her own ac-
count and with Australia and Argen-
tina in the market? Australia has
been guaranteed S1AS for its output
and, of course, the European nations
will seek their supply where they can
get it at the lowest price.
The United States government has
made the guarantee and will make it
good. 1t will pay the farmer the diff
ference between S2-26 and the figure
at which he has to sell his surplus"
