The Affirmative side Of the debate
will be led by Senator Atlee Pomer-

on occasion found 10 advisable TO
keep the woman in the case out Of
the court room, on the theory that
| If the Judge and Jury could hear her

had deserted her.
Senaor POmerene has been in touch
with the State Department with a
view TO gatting the proposed treaty

eXtraditiOn Of husbands deserting
their wives. or certainly some ma

where there are children.
If there are no children. Mr. pome-
rene is adamant No treaty Will be
ratified, so far as he is concerned

TOLD BY DELEGATE
TO me-. CONFERENCE

f@ A letter dated May 10, has been re-
ceived from o. F.. Ward, delegate to

I the NJ: E. church. South, England,
Canada and Japan. -e.-..-
The delegate from Japan said that
the greatest word in Japan today is
"democratic''. Japan is immensely
wealthy as a result Of the war, but is
using the money in establishing 20
new colleges and 10 new universities.
They are giving 400 scholarships to
students in'Japan and are sending 400
students to America and England to
be educated These latter students re-
ceive their travelling. expenses and
$125 per month
Japan is confronted with four large
problems: First, high cost OF living;
second, labor difficulties; third, the
menace of bolshevisn land fourth,
universal suffrage.
There are 100000 farmers in ia
pan and 100000 depositors in saw
ings banks. The wealth of Japan is
esuma ted to be nine times what II
was before the war.
Want Out Of China
The native stated that 80 per cent
of the Japanese people want the Jap
anese to get out of Siberia and Shan
tung. Referring to the trouble in Ko-
rea, where so many mission churches
We're destroyed, the military COM
lnandant who was responsible was
withdrawn, reduced in rank and given
a post in remote part of Europe.
Japan is endeavoring to make good
the da images and has sent a new man
who is favorable to Christianity.
What about war atrocities? In 1919
200 officers were needed and only 40
young men made application, and it
was necessary to hold two examina-
tions and reduce the qualifications be-
for the required number were OBJ
