OF the league the necessity of the
United States to undertake the main
tenance of law and order in Armenia,

No matter what may be the wish of
our own people to avoid mixing in
the tangle of European or Asiatic
politics any five of the nine can fix
such responsibility upon us.

article pretends to limit the subject of
consideration of war, it must extend

may be considered as causes OF war,
to be determined by vote of the
league. This transfers the nations
sovereignty completely to a group of
European nations by mere vote to
the effect that the subject in question
may lead to war.
Article 23. "a and 25 abrogate all
existing treaties between the sigma

This means if treaty now exists be-

the judgement of the league, as ex-

The Japanese delegation presented
an amendment providing that racial
discrimination should not be tolerat-
ed in immigration laws, but it was
dropped for the present when other
delegates urged that this would open
such a large question that great de-
lay might insue. This interest of ia
pan. in sensitive question between
us for many years indicates a future
claim on this country. 1t will GER
tainly be brought up later by Japan
as a matter of interest of the league

to the delegates to the women's

phis. last Saturday. Bishop Nc.
Murray told Of conditions in Japan.
In the first place he says that in
Japan the Christian churches are
full and the schools crowded and
that all seem anxious for the
knowledge that Christian people can
give them. There Is no note Of dis
couraeement," the Bishop says. but
there is crying need for missionaries
and money-and, by the way. with
plenty Of the former, the mission.
aries. teachers, can be had. We are
a believer in missions, missionaries
and the work Of converting the
heather to Christianity. but 1t Is
our opinion that we could do more
on less money II We had more Of
the real spirit Of Christ and less Of
Of commercialism. Speaking further
the distinguished Bishop said that
China Is the greatest mission field
in the Orient--but he seems to
have 1t in for Japan" saying II
the peace conference adjourns with
out taking steps to putting an end
to the rascality Of Japan. the con.
ference delegates will not have
adopted all tie measures necessary
to insure the peace Of the world"
The Bishop seems to think teach
ing Christianity will have some
thing to do with prevention Of wars
in future-but it has not looked
that way in Europe since the Sum-
mer Of 1914.

nesday, April 9th, 1919. following
an operation for appendicitis, in a
sanitarium in Greenville, Mississippi.
He was stricken on Tuesday OF
last week. at Scott, Mississippi.
where he moved and located last
summer holding an excellent po-
sition with the Mississippi Delta
Plantation Company, and on We'd
nesday was carried to Greenville.
where all that medical and surgical
skill could suggest was done to
save his life but in vain. His moth
er, Mrs. Celestia Logan, his sister.
Miss Mary, and his uncle, Mr.. John
S. Fielder, left Lexington on Thurs
day night of last week and the
mother and sister remained with
him until the end. At one time
there was hope of his recovery and
Mr.. Fielder came home, but bad
news soon followed him and he
returned Monday night.
Jack Logan was married Novem-
Der 18th, 1909, to Miss Dixie, only
child Of Mr.. and Mrs. j. F. Winslow,
and Mrs. Logan, with her little son,
Dick, survives the husband and
father.
The remains were brought home
for interment, reaching Lexington
at 9 o'clock a. m, Thursday.
Jack Logan was for consider
able time assistant Cashier of the
Citizens Bank and in that position
showed a wonderful capacity for
meeting the people. He was gen.
erous to a fault, full of energy and
peculiarly devoted to his people. his
family and his friends, while
noticably undemonstrative. Once
your friend, all Jack Logan could
do, and all he had was at your COM
mand. He was wholly unselfsh--
ready at all times to sacrifice his
own pleasure for those he loved.
His death, so young, and at a time
when he was exceptionally well
placed in life, falls as a hard blow
on his mother, sister, wife and all
who loved him. Those who were
with him to the last say that for
three days, he made a brave fight
for life with hardly one chance in
ten for his recovery. He knew
those about him and talked to with
in five minutes of the separation Of
soul and body and almost in his
last moments his questions were
asked in a way to cause his moth
er the least alarm.
The funeral was held in the
Logan home on Main Street, at 5
o'clock Thurday afternoon, Rev.
Fleetwood Ball, the family pastor,
officiating, assisted by Rev. S. F.
