against Americas participation in
any sort of a league Of nations.
The balloting in Michigan, Illinois,
New Jersey, Massachusetts and Ne
braska shows how widely the John
son brand of uncompromising Amer
icanism has taken hold of the peo-
pie.
Coupled with the remarkable stand
of the people of Georgia, it proves
that the voters of the country, re-
gardless of party, are ready to repu-
date any candidate who has the te-
merity to keep before the Nation
the doctrine of internationalism with
which they have been menaced for
over year.

WHOSE is THE JOB?
Q-What is the near East?

A--Asia Minor, Syria, Mesopota.
mia, Armenia, Persia and the eau.
casus.
Q-Are other nations furnishing
help for these people?
A-England has given millions OF
dollars, which fund is administered
by American "Near East Relief
Considering the heavy burden of
taxation which England is carrying
and their great economic loss during
the war, it may be said England has
given a great deal more in proper
ton to her ability than we have. To
all this must be added the great ex-
pense which England has been COM
PEELED to bear since the Amistice in
keeping oops in the Near East.
AS r. tier of fact, other nations,
by polici'2- the Near East alone,
were give7 vastly more in proper
ton than we have done. The Brit
ish Tomn?ies have saved the Christ
ian and the Jewish people of the
Near East from utter annihilation.
Q-Why should America do more
than her share?
A-She should not, and does not.
What is her share? Amassing untold
wealth, while others defend civiliza-
tion and poured out their blood and
treasure, while we lived in peace and
safety and continuing to amass bill
ions in profits, since the Armistice
was signed-while her Allies are
struggling with desperate economic
problem, WHAT is AMERICAS
SHARE?
Q-Why has the persecution of
the Amenians continued so long?
.A-Because of international sell
fishness and suspicion.
Q-How many have perished since
the outbreak of the war?
About 100000.
Q-Have conditions improved dur
ng the last year?
A-not entirely. 10000 orphans
lied from hunger and cold. We still
lave 100000.
Q-Why?
A-Because we did not raise en-
ugh money to save them.
Q-What is needed now? l.
A--For adults; tools, implements,
eed and a chance to make good !
or children; food, clothing, shelter,
ducation,-AMERICA ONLY can :
upply it.

Pilgrim Fathers Had Highly Effec-
tive Way Of Dealing With the Col.
onys Undcsirables.

/ Deportation of "undesirables" Ia not
an innovation in this country. The
Pilgrim Fathers. confronted with the
problem of dealing with malcontents
among them, shipped fhe disgruntled
ones overseas. Governor Bradfords
story Of the Plymouth cNlony shows
how things were done in those days.
According to Bradford's stHry the
''reds" In the Plymouth colony were
represented by John Liford and Joon
Oldham, who copspired together, both
against the church and the govern
ment Of the colony, endeavoring to en-
tice others with them. Oldham re-
fused duty when called upon by Cap
tain Standish, wbereupon 1t was deter
mined to place Oldham and Liford on
trial, all the members Of the colony
being present. They were convicted,
the court ordering them expelled from
the colony, both being deported ulti-
mately.
Oldham came once again to the col
Ony and created a serious breach Of
the peace, whereupon "they committed
him till he was tanner, and then ap-
pointed q guard Of musketeers which /
he was to pass through, and everyone !
was ordered to give him thump on
We birch, with ye butt end Of his mus
ket and then WAS conveyed to ye wa.
terside. whore a boat was ready to
carry him away. Then they bid him
goe and mende his maners."

The Chinese pocket dictionary con
tains no less than 10000 characters,
which one must learn in order to
claim any real familiarity with the
language. However, an acquaintance
with 5000 or 1000 symbols is all that
the average native has, and it is said
to be possible to get along with vo-
cabulary Of 1000.

Against Bill.

Washington. - Rejecting President
Wilson's advice, house Democrats in
caucus Monday night went on record
as opposed to universal military train
ing by a vote of 1O6 to II. The presi-
dent, in letters to Democratic leaders
earlier in the day, asked that action
be withheld so the party's stand might
be left to it's national convention.
The rejection of the presidents ap-
peal was double in its scope, for
before declaring against military
training the caucus rejected, SO to 81,
a proposal that all action on the
question be deferred "at this time"
ut is the of this caucus" the
resolution adopted by the Democrats
declared, shat nc measure should be
passed by this congress providing for
universal compulsory military service
Or training"
Though not binding on the Demo-
cratic membership of the house, the
caucus decision was interpreted BY
Representative Caldwell of New York.
who led the fight against the caucus
action, as precluding the possibility of
universal training being incorporated
IN the army reorganization bill that
will, soon be brought before congress.

the United States shipping board YES
sells which have been calling in in
creasing numbers.

beat the American mate and q number
