OPPOSE GERMAN RULE
None of the Pacific Islanders Want to
 Return to Old Regime.

Sydney, Australia, Jan. 2.---1n not a single island in the Pacific formerly ruled by Germany do the natives de- sire a return to the German domina- ton, says Thomas J. McMahon, an Australian authority on the affairs of the Pacific islands, who has recently returned from an extended tour in the Central Pacific. He visited Nauru Is- land and the Marshall Group, which were German possessions before the war.
 Wherever he travelled among the former German colonies in the Paci ic. MT. McMahon said, he found that the Germans had made no effort properly to develop commercial ad- vantaIges, but had in several cases de- voted themselves to the strategic op portunities.
 ''The natives of Nauru have asked the governm ent to preserve them from & establishment of German government there" said MT. McNa- hon.
 "In the Marshall Islands, said MT. ATcMahon, 1T was much impressed by Japanese industry. What they have already done in the Marshalls will bring nothing but praise from every body. The Germans shamefully neg lected the Marshall Islanders as they did all other natives. but during the past three or four years the Japanese have been ,systema tically building up the people, educating them and mak- ing of them a very creditable race" Mr. McMahon said. in speaking of the relation of the Central Pacific islands to Australia that they were the half way house to San Francisco and to Japan"

RUSSIAN AFFAIRS
 WORRYING BRITISH
Definite Policy Must Be Settled First Matter to Como Up at
 Peace Conference.

London, Jan. 2.--Russia1 affairs are causing the British foreign office considerable anxiety, says the Mail. The necessity of formulating a defi- mite allied policy as to Russia is ex- trenely urgent and 1t has been de- cided that the Russian question will be the first to be discussed at the peace conference, it is said.
 Tt is presumed that all the Allied nations are overwhe elmingly against armed intervention by an expedition ary force," says the newspaper. The British government has also decided that an expedition is impossible, pre- ferring to encourage the creation of a stable government in Russia, al- though the origin of such a govern ment is at present quite obscure. In the meantime, munitions and tnstruc- tors are being sent to the true Rus sian armies in the south. in Siberia and the forces on the borders of Po- land and Finland. Large cargoes of food were recently sent to northern Russia for the people living in dis tricts under Allied control There is no likelihood of the Allied forces on the Russian coast being withdrawn.

RISKS NECK ID KISS
 OLD BLARNEY STONE
American Sailor Loses Balance,
 Falls, But Is Uninjured

London, Jan. 2.~~Peter Mcclure, sometime of San Francisco, now of the United States Navy, imperilled his neck for the right to tell his admir- ing friends at home I've kissed the Blarney Stone" McGuire was q mam- ber of a party of American sailors conducted by the Young Mems Chris tian Association to Blarney Castle.
 It's bit of drop" said Peter after he had climbed to the top of the castle wall and looked down sheer one hundred and ten feet Its by way of adding little sport to the game"
 Pete watched other Yankee blue jackets kiss the Blarney Stone. The approved method is for strong man to grasp the candidates left leg and arm, while another grasps his right leg and arm, then they swing him out over the abyss as far as they can reach and let the intrepid one bounce his nose against the scarcely attain able rock, call it a kiss and let it go at that
 Not so Mcclure. He knew he could reach out over the ledge and kiss the Blarney Stone across the way without assistance. AS he had almost at- tained his goal, he lost his balance, and started down the one hundred and ten feet straight through the air.
 The keeper descended by a, safer route intending to pick up the dead American sailor. What he saw was McGufre rubbing himself and pointing heavenward with a sort of a, sheepish grin.
 The keeper saw where Mcclure aft CT falling sixty feet hit we'll out on a tree limb and broke it off Below that was another bough to which ha had caromed and below still another, also breaking the fall so that the last drop of fifteen feet was very minor.
 The custodian became very angry. What do you mean 2" said he, breaking off the limbs of the trees. Don't you see that sign? Do not in jure shrubbery'."
