DEAN WALTER WILLIAMS of

DEAN WALTER WILLIAMS of
the University of Missouri School of
Journalism, who recently returned TO
this country after spending five
months in the Orient on a diplomatic
and journalistic mission, says that he
noted the following conditions in the
Far East: Relations between the
United States and Japan were never
more amicable than at present; Japan
stands as a bulwark in the East a.
gainst the tide of Bolshevikism; the
Far East favors a League of Nations;
there are no real differences arising
between the American and japanese
troops in Siberia, and that there is a
growing democratic sentiment IN
Japan, which may result in the recast-
ing of the present moderately liberal
constitution. Dean Williams said the
official relation between the United
States and Japan were never more cor
dial and that the same spirit was rec
o~gnizable in other fields. He says that
all natives treat the opinions Of Am
orleans with Difference. Dean Will
liams saw many M~issourians in
Japan, China, the Philippines and in
Honolulu. He said that almost all
were successful in their lines of work.

SOLDIER BOYS BROUGHT
DEMENTED SOLDIER TO
FULTON SUNDAY

r. w. Beaunem and c F. Garttan Of
Columbus Barracks, Columbus, O.,
came through here on their way to
Fulton Sunday afternoon with a pat
lent, Private L. Y. Zamanski, an over
seas's soldier whom they were taking
to the State Hospital.
Zamanski, who is a Russian Jew,
was drafted at Kansas City and was
harmless except that he had hallucin-
alton regarding a certain negro man
whom he thought was after him all
the time. tt is reported that he broke
many of the window lights in the
base hospital at Columbus.
The party did not know that the
South Branch afternoon train did not
run on Sunday and they were at loss
to know what to do until the local Red
Cross society hired a car and drove
them to Fulton. The boys were deep
ly appreciative of this kindness and

YOUTH, DEAF AND DUMB
AND HOMELESS TAKEN
TO FULTON SUNDAY
From annual Report of Pres. J. n. WHY'S

Sunday afternoon when the blue
clouds had unfolded themselves suffi-
cietly to let the radient sunshine
burst forth in all it's glory, enveioping
the earth and setting off a ripping
of happiness that had not been wit
messed for many months, there vas at
least one among the great throng CT
care-free individuals who had ears
and could hear not; who had eyes but
could not see the beauty of a glorious
spring day and one who had tongue
but was unable to proclaim the Won
derful change nature had wrought.
He was a lonely little chap who grasp
ed tightly the hand of a big hqarted
man. Not his father-for the little
fellow had none whom he could claim
as his father. He had not the pro-
tecting love of a mother. He was only
one of the thousand unfortunates who
are born into this world, to Give a
while and die"
Life for little Richard Cummings hold
little hopes for the future. Imagine a
little fellow, scarcely five years old;
deaf and dumb with a mind that does
not average up with that of a normal
child of five years. Just one of Gods
little creatures, without a home, with
out a father or mother, sister or broth
er; shifted from place to place until
landing in a Catholic home where kind
and tender hearts did all they could
for this child of the world. But even
the care given by noble sisters proved
of no avail; little Richard Cummings
needed a different kind of attention,
His mind was sick. So he was given
over to the kindly disposed deputy
sheriff of Jackson County, Joe Hop
kins, and brought to Fulton there to
be placed in the State Hospital. Mr.,
Hopkins passed through Mexico Sun
day afternoon with his little charge,
a fine looking boy in spite of his afflic-
ton.
Some day, who knows, Little Rich
ard Cummings may overcome his I'M
fortunate condition under the able and
careful attention given him at Fulton.
Let US hope this may prove true.
But the case of this baby is only one
of many. Few days pass without
there being a tragedy in the life Of one
or more who pass back and forth on
the station platform at Mexico. There
are tears that are not shown to the
outward, unfeeling world. Their in
ward sorrows are locked in the hearts
by the outward smiles.
