JAPAN SEEKS STRONGER
TIES WITH AMERICANS
Belief Grows That This Country
Will Assume More Prominent
Role in Affairs Of Asia.

TOXIC, Tuesday. September 9 (by the
Associated Press).-It is expected that
Masano Hanihara, former Japanese con-
sui general at San Francisco, will be-
promoted to succeed Vice Foreign Min
lister Kijuro Shidehara. whose appoint
ment as ambassador to the United States
may be officially announced here.
In the Japanese press the opinion is
expressed that the designation of M.
Shidehara as ambassador and the pro-
motion of M. Hanihara, who was train
ed in America. indicate Japanese diplo-
matte concentration on relations. with
America. which now replaces England
as an object of attention. The belief is
growing that America will assume a
more prominent role in the affairs of
Asia and. that there is necessity for
promoting friendly relations with that
country.
Hence, it is pointed out 1t is natural
to expect the appointment of men quail
fed to handle questions growing out of
more intimate relationship. Both M.
Shidehara and NJ. Hanihara are young,
capable and resourceful diplomats.

EIDED BROTHERS IN FIELD
How Women in Civil War Times Went
About Their Activities in Work
of Mercy.

The activities of women in war work
recalls the work of the women during
the Civil war in a little village Of
New York. William II. Shelton, in
reminiscent article In Century. says.
Our village had a decided opinion
ahort the war. and when the ladies
who had played battledore and shuttle
cock wanted to do their bit in Red
Cross way they selected the little red
cannon house as the scene of their
activity. The yellow gun carriage,
with its double trail, was wheeled out
upon the grass, its brass gun actually
pointing south, with the round iron
balls hard by in the portable chest,
to make way for tables and chairs.
Here at fixed intervals the ladies met
to make havelocks and pick lint. For
the first they brought good cotton drill
ing, and for the soft lint they scraped
the oldest sheets and ptllowcases of
fine linen from their grandmothers'
wedding chests"

his great-grandfather.
He is a blacksmith and farmer, and

time ''a-drinkin' an a-ganblin' an

Church of Christ and Central Union.
becoming second elder and leading the
singing.
The draft found him conscientious
objector, torn between patriotism and
the belief that to fight and kill was
sin. He compromised by going TO
Camp Gordon and frankly stating his
position. Captain Danforth succeeded
in convincing him from the Bible that
blessed is the peacemaker." So York
went to France with clear conscience
to help make peace.
His conscience is still at ease. He
believes he was fighting for saneti-
fed cause. Also. he is still sure

He is thirty-two. stands little over
six feet and weighs 205 pounds. He is
redheaded. He is a dead shot with
both rifle and pistol. He is the rare
fighter who does not "see red" but
gets cooler and more efficient as the
danger grows.
His features are clear cut. not rug

brown. The expression of his face is
one of kindly humor. His voice is
pleasant, and even gentle for so large
"a man. There is absolute sureness
of self in his steady gaze. But-stir
him to resentment, and his eyes harden
and contract and into his gentle voice
comes trumpet-note of danger.
He is genuinely religious. He prayed
while he fought, and believes that God
watched over him.
In all the honors showered upon him
he has never lost his balance for one
moment. He looked everybody in the
eye. smiled his genial smile and kept
his perspective.

seven men Jumped up and charged him
with bayonets from a distance of 20
yards. He killed all eight with his
pistol.
When the Hun lieutenant fell the
machine gunners quit firing; they
couldn't stand York's shooting York
continued to pick off Huns. major

in English he said that he would make
the machine gunners surrender If he
would stop shooting. York agreed and
the gunners abandoned SO machine
guns, surrendered and came down.
York and the six privates rounded
up their prisoners, picked up the three
wounded Yanks and started back for
the American lines. York marched the
major in front of him. The Yanks ran
into several other machine gun nests
from the rear, but after York had
killed one Hun with his pistol all the
others surrendered at the command OF

American lines his prisoners numbered
132, officers and men.
When York's exploit became known
every detail was verified. He was made
d sergeant and was awarded the Dis
tinguished Service Cross ard the Con-
gressionnl Medal of Honor. When he
arrived In New York recently the city
was his. Since then his fellow citizens
have paid him honor at every oppor-
tunity. In Washington the house of
representatives rose up. and cheered
him. Governor Roberts went up into
the mountains and married him to
Grace Williams. WHO had been waiting
for him. Fortunes have been offered
him TO write for the press and to go
into the motion pictures and on the
stage.
York is generally spoken of as the

"bravest soldier. of the war" That is

why war.Time Diet Was Rest.

DR.. Harvey w Wiley, a Hoosier who
became famous as an authority on the
proper food, has been making short
visit TO Indiana friends. He says, ac-
cording to the Indianapolis News:
81 regret that the American people
so soon abandoned the restricted diet
enforced by the wartime food admin
istration. The use of white flour in
stead of the war mixture is step
backward so far as the public health
is concerned The war bread was
more nutritious and in every particular
more to be desired than the bread we
are using today"
Doctor Wiley says his family went
on a war diet before the rest OF the
country and the same diet is being
kept up even though restrictions have
been. to a large measure removed.
He also thinks the eurtailment of SUI
gar was great thing for the country
and is sorry the sugar bowl has gone
back on the restaurant and hotel
tables.

WHY
Men of Medicine Oppose
Euthanasia

Although attempted suicide is a
felony punishable with severe penal
ties these are rarely inflicted, cor

that trouble or pain had driven the

many persons hold that under cersain
circumstances person has right to

clan give him lethaI dose of poison
that will end his sufferings with
painless death. called euthanasia. But
q doctor who lent himself TO such an
arrangement would be committing
murder under the law, and the gross
est Of malpractice. that would at least
result in his expulsion from the PR
fession. Those who argue for euthana-
STA would have the law and the rules
of the medical societies changed to
permit what they would call this work
of mercy.
Physicians. however do not desire
70 have any such responsibility thrust
upon them. 1t is all very well to talk
of hopeless" cases. but no expert
enced doctor dares call any case
hopeless" for all who have had a
large practice can recall cases that
have seemed utterly hopeless suddenly
take turn for the better and recover.
In the words of the lancet Q.on-
don). ''the medical profession would
disclaim anything approaching infalli-
bility." while there is life there is
hope" is an old proverb that the meii-
cal man has to justify by providing
examples of its application.
Nor would the doctor care to share
the responsibility with any one else.
Is the patient TO be the Judge? Must
the sufferers wife or other relatives
be consulted? How about the insur-
ance companies that hold policies on
his life? Then there are the many
possibilities of complications after
death. Suppose, for instance. a ques-
ton were TO be raised as to whether
the condition Of the patient justified
the legal murder, as it very well might
be. This would scarcely make for the
peace of mind of the responsible physi-
clan.
This summary of the Lancet's argyll
ment leaves out of consideration, on
the religious and ethical principles
that are involved.
