In making its claim for the open

in mind the providing of sufficient
safeguards for American missionaries

In the case of "B" mandates concern

said to admit of no question as to the
right of equality of opportunity.
In regard to the "A' mandates as

an appeal to the sense and fairness
of the powers in applying to former

VIEWS ON MANDATES
Position of United States Government
Set Forth More Completely
Than Heretofore

Washington, Sept. 6.-The position
of the American government on the
question of mandates has been set
forth more completely than hereto
fore and especially in reference to
those of Class "a" and "B" in new
note to Great Britain, France, Italy
and Japan, and through some of
them, it is understood, has been sub
mitted to the meeting of the assembly
of the league of nations at Geneva Ger
consideration.
announcement was made al the
state department today that the note
was dispatched last week bnt no init
nation was given as to when It would
be made public, if at all.
Although officials would not dis
cuss the matter, it is understood that
the note was forwarded after inqul-
ries had been received from some OF
the powers as to the American atti-
-tude toward the question of "A' and
''B" mandates for their guidance in
possibly considering the allotment OF
some of the former enemy territory
at the Geneva meeting.
AS early as May IL, 1920, the Am
erican government had taken strong
stand against the setting up OF any
special privileges in mandate terri
tories, especially as involving the oil
lands of Mesopotamia and the cable
privileges of the Pacific island of zap,
the latter claimed as ''C' mandate
.byJapan. In note of February 2lst
last by Secretary Colby gave explicit
warning that the approval of the
United States was necessary to vail
date any mandate, sanction which
he contended had never>-been given
in the case of Yap. In subsequent
notes by Secretary Hughes this posi-
ton was strengthened, the PROPOSE
ton being laid down that notwith-
standing her refusal to ratify the Yer
sailles treaty the United States as a
victor in the war could not be de-
prived of a full and equal voice in the
position of all former German owned
territories. In this most recent note

all nations and persons in trade and

claim to any particular class such as

In Memory of Mrs. Eunice Carter


Mrs. Eunice Carter died at the
home of Mrs. Vines on Sunday night,
May 22, after an illness of one
week. All that loving hands could do
was done for her, but the reaper,
Death, came. The funeral services
were conducted by Rev. Meng at West
End Baptist church and under bed
Of lovely flowers we left her resting
in Rosemont cemetery.
Though the body moulders here we
hope the soul is in heaven and we
dedicate these lines to her memory.
Dear friend thou hast left US,
And our loss we deeply feel,
But tits God that has bereft US,
He can all our sorrows heal.
Yet again we hope to meet thee,
When the day of life is fled,
When in heaven with joy to greet
thee.
She is gone but not forgotten,
Never will her memory fade,
Loving thoughts will always hnger
Around the grave where she is lald.
Long days and nights she bore IN
pain,
To wait for cure was all in vain;
But God who knows ali things oest'
Ceased her pain and gave her rest.
Forget !. r, no, we never will,
We loved her then, we love her still;
Her memory is as fresh today
As in the hour she passed away.
Guarded and kept by the Saviour,
Victor o'er death and the grave,
We know that she is sweetiy sleeping
In Jesus, the strong to save.
