IF YOU happen to be looking for the island oi

the Caroline group east of the Philippines. If an
old atlas is used, it may be spelled "Uap." Guam
will be found to the northeast of it and it will be
that Yap is about third of the cable distance
from Guam to the Philippines, Save it has
been make our international cable station, it has
value.
1t has no naval stragetic consequence. 1t is
would probably fall into the control of the first
navy that reached it. 1t certainly should remain
unfortihed. Stragetcally its importance is dwarfed
by the other islands whose possession by Japan is
undisputed. The United States Pacific cable runs
to the Philippines via Hawaii Guam and Yap.
These facts which lead the Jill, Japanese
paper OF influence, to say in reviewing this Yap
controversy:
The intention of America is clear and
simple, and as she does not entertain any ul-
terror ambitions designs, it will not neces-
sarily be difficult to settle the trouble. If the
question is calmly considered, apart from the
past circumstances attending it, it will be seen
that it is of character which admits OF
amicable settlement by direct negotiation be-
tween Japan and America
This indicates growing sentiment among the
people of Japan. 1t is pacific. 1t is against that
mltarism which still controls the governments after
the manner OF the old German junker school. 1t
would seem to be wisdom the part OF the
United States cultivate and encourage this pacific
element actively favorable to disarmament and all
which this implies.
The real difficulties Of the Yap situation appear
to center around the yap of the militarist cabal
which has loudly proclaimed against any conces-
sion, making it by much the more difficult for
them to yield to the American contention. 1t is a
situation which naturally calls for concession some
where else-or its appearance-to supply that trad
ing balance, so essential in dealing with that sort

Reviews Human Goodness,

To the Editor, The Washington Herald:
Franklin X. Lane said he did not
know anyone who had the right to
call himself a good man. This is
very comforting to the man Of the
world, to the Protestant andsto the
Catholic. The man~of the world
finds in IL all the excuse he needs for
his outward life; the Protestant ex-
cuses himself continually by it to
wash in the blood OF Jesus, and the
Catholic does the same in relation
to the confessional.
The man who saluted Jesus with
Good Master" Jesus asked. why
callest thou me good. none is good
save one-that is God?" But this
like many other things. Jesus said
for a certain purpose. true enough
in some ways, while not true gen
orally. Jesus general aim was for
perfection and for the doing of the
will Of God. Thy will be done" was
mis- prayer. Jesus did Gods will and
he was therefore literally good. He
was acknowledged to be without sin
and without guile.
Jesus told all his followers to fol-
low MIN and be perfect, as their
Father in Heaven was perfect. The
man. therefore, who does Gods will
seven days in the week. rather than
worship only on one. is entitled to
call himself a good man in the sight
OF God. while it might be casting
pearls before swine to say anything
on that line to men.

Of unrestricted" submarine war by
Germany January 81. 1917, was, as
it were, the last straw that made it
incumbent on the United States to
declare war against Germany, even
as the blowing up Of the United

that caused us to declare war
against Spain: but these were only
the last direct-acting causes imme-
