Is There Conspiracy
Against Father !?

There is increasing discussion and
alarm these days owe the increase of
u~ndisciplined and hayward children,
especially around the g of IA to 16
or IL. In every city, the cases in
court against children are increasing
until children's courts are becoming as
important n conspicuous as the po-
lice courts.
All over the country the papers are
carrying stories of daring holdups,
daring burglaries, desperate daylight
bank robberies and the authorities say
that the criminals are mostly young
men who were only boys a year or
two ago.
Mernard J. Pagan, chief probation
officer of the city of York, has proba-
bly, had to deal with more bad boys
and girls than any other man in Am
erica. He says that the whole trouble
is in the home and he blames mother
because she insists on having the
whole say about the children and re-
sents dads interference. In fact, Fa-
gan charges that there is a conspiracy
in the great American home against
father. His deduction is that if father
watched the children more-if mother
and father CO-OPERATED in the
bringing up of the children-there
would be fewer hayward young men
and women in America to-day.
1t is a great problem. But we do
not join with Pagan in his finding
against mother. OF ourse she is the
n who has to take almost exclusive
care of the youngsters during the ten
derest years, and the thing becomes
habit with her.
1t is for father to automatically butt
in at the right time. If he doesn't he
cannot escape the blame later on.

Worlds Greatest Victor

Marshal Foch is the greatest living
soldier, the greatest living general to.
day, because he won the greatest war
in history. More, he took command
in the midst of the most dismal defeat
and in less than eight months had end
ed the war with the worlds greatest
martial victory.
What would Napoleon have done I'm.
der such circumstances? Make him.
self an emperor, of course, and go in
for more wars.
And Foch? He has no such
thoughts. Listen to the following ex-

Japan has come to the confer
ence." he said, intending to offer
upon the altar of international peace
the soothing influences of love and
charity without jeopardizing her
safety or existence. Because of this
spirit of all the delegations, 1 feel
justified in saying that the work of
the conference is work of religion
and of the church.
THE task of the conference is re-
ligious. 1 think I can say this with
out irreverence because this confer
ence is organized upon an exalted
plane and is animated by high ideals.
In this enlightened age diplomacy
should purge itself of machiavellism

tary was forced to repeat the process
three times thereafter.
Brig. Gen. Watson was informed,
he said. "and, going into Jerusalem

Jerusalem and ordered Watson to re-

PLEA FOR KOREANS.
| IS MADE TO 0PARLEY
Commission Warns Dele
gates Against Adjourning
Without Settling Problem.

Appealing to the Washington con-
ference for an opportunity to present
Korea's case, the Korean commission
here has warned the delegates that an
adjournment without settlement of this
problem would leave an Asiatic Alsace-
Lorraine to plague its conscience
threaten it's peace and disturb the
finality of every adjustment OF interna-
tional relations
The text of the appeal. which is
being filed formally with the conferences
was made public last night.
Extract From Document.
'Korea Is the far eastern problem In

"She is both it's exponent and the nm
Her fate. if permitted to remain un7
remedied will be the fate Of all Asia.
The commission predicates its demand
for a hearing, while far eastern aHalrs
are under discussion, on the fact that
all the major nations represented al
ties pledging Korea their good omces
in event of her oppression.
Citing these promises of assistance,
the document declares in part:

KOrea Entitled to Hearing.
"korea's right to be heard by this
conference rests upon the solemn sane
ton of treaty obligations. Apart from
the failure of the members of this con-
ference to observe their covenants with
Korea when called upon to exercise
their good offices in her behalf when un-
justly assailed by Japan at the thresh-
old of her aggressive policies, there
remains the fact that Korea is the un-
happy victim of her abiding trust in the
sa ncitY of international agreements"
