Immediately after sentence was i'm
posed, petitions were presented to
the court, asking that the sentence
OF the three men be suspended The
petitions were signed by residents of
Centerburg and the neighborhood in
which the young men lived for many
years. A letter was also presented
signed by The ID. l.. Auld Co. Ringer
and Debolt were employed by this
firm for several years. The president
Of the company stated the men had
alwsys been honest in their work.

der advisement several hours and
late in the afternoon, announced that
he had decided to suspend the re-
formatory sentence in the case Of
Bcardslee, Ringer and Debolt, upon
the following conditions: That the
men pay to Harry Perkins the sum
of $l29, the amount of money Per-

JAPANESE COURAGE

1t has been said more than once
lately, In public speeches, that Japan

the appropriate comment that Japan

weeks after it started, when nobody
knew how it was going to turn out,

1t may be added that very few
Americans regarded the Russo-Jap.
anese war as sure thing for Japan
when that almost unknown nation
tackled one of the greatest of world
powers. 1t Is doubtful whether the
japanese themselves could have had
complete confidence in that David.
Goliath contest.
Japan has enough faults, according
to the occidental way of thinking
without inventing any, but it is Ger.
tainly unfair to intimate that among
them is lack OF courage or unwill.

er sold them for 200 francs apiece.
1t may be mentioned incidentally
that those blankets were intended for
distribution at nominal prices among
the needy people Of the war-ravaged
districts. Sold as expensive automo
bile coats, of course they did not go
to these people at ALL and those who
did buy them paid to the various mid.
dlemen toll which the French gov.
ernment considers appalling.
This is not an American problem,
but so much like ours in some re-
spects that 1t challenges comparison.
1t does seem as il the trade history
of nearly every commodity, any
where, is sort of house-that-Jack
built story, with so many parts to It
that it is hard to trace the relation
between producer and consumer, and
still harder to account for the re!a-
tion between original cost and ulti-
mate cost.

question. Whether or not the United
States wants to take mandatory
over them in an attempt to set them
on their feet Is certainly debatable
But whether we want them to starve
by hundreds and thousands, the bones

over which they and their parents
make futile journeys back and forth
in quest of food, has but one answer.

ly woven garments.
Whether the people in Armenia and
other starving countries ought to
have pulled themselves together and
in some miraculous way procured
seed and sowed it, and somehow
made a living for themselves this
year, is beside the question. They
couldn't or they thought they couldn't
and anyhow they didn't. And they
are starving.
The observers who have been sur.
veying the ground in Austria say that
is the most deeply suffering land in
Europe. Roumania is next Those
who have come from Armenia say
nothing could be worse than condi-
tions there. Without arguing the
matter as to which of these and 9TH
er stricken countries Is worse off or
more deserving, we face the fact that
all these people need food and need
1t badly. Even in the Czecho-Slovak
republic, where the people have made
such remarkable progress in the di-
rection of self-support, they need
100000 tons OF cereal to carry them
over until the next harvest.
Somehow, that last report seems to
clinch the matter.
1t is not gifts OF money these peo-
pie need, though perhaps such gifts
might help u little. They do not wish
to be pauDerized. What they want is
credit for food and clothing and seed
and raw materials. They want us to
send these things and give them long
credit for them. When they are rea-
sonably on their feet again, they ex.
pect to pay the bills.
Somehow these credits must be ar
ranged. We do not wish, as Il nation
or as individuals, the odium of having
asked the question OF Cain. We
should wish, rather, having found one
wounded and starving by the road
side. to represent the Christian an
swer to that other question; who
was this mans neighbor?" "IIe that

LOST EFFORT

Everybody is working, it seems, but
what is being accomplished?
Everybody is making money, but
where is the money at the end OF the
month?
Everything is moving, but where is
1t moving to
Too much talk, too much noise, too
much bustling confusion.
Business, politics, government, in

what those dealers paid for them is a

been less than eight francs apiece,
