Girl, Is, Kills Father;
Says He Beat Mother
Stabs Parent i'm Chest Four
Times: Held Under Bail
on Murder Charge
Special Dispatch to The Trabune

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 23.-Elizabeth
Mabel Lance, fifteen years old, told the
police to-day that she killed her father
by stabbing him four times in the
chest because he beat her mother at
their home, 1870 South Bonsall Street,
at midnight last night. She stabbed the
man with a knife he had given her.
Elizabeth. who formerly vas a Girl
Scout, was placed under $1,000 bail for
the alleged murder of her father, Edgar
NJ. Lance, thirty-seven years old. She
was given a hearing in the Juvenile
Court by Judge Brown.
Father was beating mother and I
was afraid she might be killed." testi-
fed Elizabeth, timidly.
Mrs. Elizabeth A. Lance, the mother.
had a hearing before Magi trate Car
son, and was discharged after Police
man Lawler told of events leading to
the murder. l.awler was told by a
pedestrian that there had been a quar-
rel in the Lance home and went there
to investigate. He found Lance on a
bed, dead. The mother and daughter
were in the room.

surplus above what ndustrialization
can provide for is so remote that it
hardly gives ground for aggression
now. That argument I believe, has
been much overpiayed. 1t is most eff
fective with those who do not know
Far Eastern conditions intimately.
The need for raw materia is not so
easily dismissed. But the laws of com
merce can apply there also. Japan
could also buy raw materials from
China more favorably than The West
ern nations-if China were friendly
And if China is not friendly, it will
have to pay too heavily in armaments,
even if it has control of them. The
choice is between concillating China
and antagonizing it. Abandonment of
All lmperialist aims is the sine qua non
of the first.
Test in Shantung Issue
So far as its present actions indicate
Japan either fails to see the necessity
of that remuneration or is unwilling to
make it. The best test is Shantung.
That question is in deadlock. Japan
proclaims to the world it is willing to
withdraw if China negotiates. China
responds that there is nothing TO nego-
tate. BY promising withdrawal Japan
acknowledges it does not belong there
The way to withdraw is to withdraw.
Long experience has taught the Chinese
to be wary of these secret negotiations.
a price is often exacted. But he jap
anese stand on their legal rights, bas
ing those rights on the Twenty-one De-
mandS. In any case. Japan wln keep
commercial rights, thus holding the
heart of the disputed territory.
In the mean time the sore of Shan
blttered the Chinese as has no other
act of Japan, and the bitterness vii n

ton. We're there real statesmauship in
Japan its government would waive its
legal rights, it would make the gesture
OF reconciliation, give China proof of
It's desire to be fair and the West token
OF its Observation-Disclosures. There is. no
prospect of that. There is no responsi-
be Japanese statesman who advocates
that, or even sees its wisdom.
Second IN Importance to China is
Siberia. The Siberians have been en-
blttered as deeply as the Chinese. The
difference IS that Siberians are not
mAiitaflly helpless and they have no
pacltist tradition. 1t is the general
belief in the Far East that before many
more years Japan must get out or fight.
And the rest of the world also is keep

can say, however, on unchallengc-
able authority that in the immediate
future there is no prospect Of with
drawal from the Siberian coast. The
government reiterates that it will with
draw when order is restored and the
danger of BoIshevik disturbance in
Corea no longer exists. The first con-
dition, any intelligent man knows, can
not be met for years. The second is
unreal; there never was any danger of
Bolshevism spreading to Corea. Corea
is not Bolshevik and has no concern
with Bolshevik ideas. 1t has been only
New-York tribune., 1921-02-24

maddened to political revolt against
japanese nisrule.
Corea itself does not concern Amer
ica or other foreign powers except
morally. But the powers were so
largely connected with Corea's status
before annexation by reason of their
treaty relations that the moral in
terest is great. Japan cannot escape
judgment as a colonizing empire by
It's treatment of Corea, certainly after
the excesseg committed by the Jap
aneae authorities in suppression of the
Corean rising. In any case Corea will
drift further and further into tragedy
for itself and trouble and expense for
Corea-Japan unless there is a radical
change in the form and spirit of its
rule by Japan. 1t will be q more com
plicated Ireland.
There is little understanding OF the
Coreen problem, however, among the
men of the government. They regard
Corea's protest merely as obstreper-
BUSINESS. They are willing to make an
amelioration of externals; the bureau
cratic despotism has already been miti-
gated. But they will not face the CEN
fer of the problem assimilation. They
will not abandon that object, in the
face Of all the lessons Of history. They

national language and literature. for
bidding the reading of the national
history, outlawing the whole national
culture. They are doomed to failure
al inexorably as all empires that have
used those methods. Whatever con-
cessions Japan may make to Corea
otherwise. out of that policy will come
struggle for generations. In talking
to Japanese officials have found them
willing to make other concessions to
rlacate the Coreans. They ere ada

Ter hey do not even understand why
the Coreans should object to sssimila-
ton.
The reason lies in the caste mind, a
caste mind not yet prepared to for
swear feudal privileges. While that
caste exists these problems will exist,
there will be unsettlement in Eastern
Asia and the danger Of Western in

Marshal Foch and Field Marshal Sir
Henry Wilson are due here Sunday to
complete the final details of the sane

Special Dispatch to The 7ro.ne


BOSTON, Feb. 23.--Ex-Sergeant Ray

Navy, when the latter Coined up" as

of the famous Marine drill squad that

enlistment purposes.

Herman, who is local newspaper

The Supreme Council was responsible
for the sllocation of Yap to Japan and
that the American note should have
been sent to London. This, however,
would have unlimited the Importance
and authority of the league, which il
is considered highly undesirable to do
at the moment the league is anxious
for American to join. Moreover. the
present deadlock is precisely the type
of international problem which the
league has set out to solve. The
zap question presents test OF the
ieague's usefulness and places Amer
lea in the position of appealing for
International justice to body which
the next Administration reputediy de-
sires to destroy.
The league members all see the pos
sibilities of the situation and may be
depended on to use them for the ag
gran9izement of the league. The en-
tire matter of the mandate and it's re-
consideration, suggested by President
Wilson, will, therefore, probably be
postponed to the next Counci! meet
ing.
Meantime, all concerned will have
time to think the matter over in all
its bearings. The league will merely
continue discussion of the B mandates
in which America presumably is little
interested.
Full Authority Sought
The league would like England
France, Italy and Japan to delegate
to it full authority to settle the Yap
question. There is some doubt whether
such authority would be given, but
it is considered that the move would
force President Harding to recognize
the league. 1t is held here that one
Of President Wilson's final acts has
been to tie the Republican admins
tration TO the League of Nations, where
ne plans to leave it.
Before turning to the Lithuanian
trouble the Council probably will nom
mate q commission to study the ques-
tion of disarmament from non-mili-
tary star dpoint; that is to say, with re-
gard to It's political, economic and So
cial aspects.
An outstanding feature of the
leagues recent activities has been the
sudden enthusiasm Of France for the
league officials of the league are
able to Judge from their contact with
the various governments how far th"se
are responding to the leagues efforts,
and it is affirmed that since last Sep
teInber France has adopted an entirely
new attitude. The explanation offered
IS that France, after the Geneva meet
ir~. became Convinced o. the leagues
utility and was persuaded it would not
die. In these circum stances she desires
as mrch as possible to develop her
activities within TIE league and has
be~f n the training Of young officials to
occupy in time leading positions there

sr~ead French influence. Gabrielle

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla, Feb o.
Speech writing is task that Presi-
dent-elect Harding almost invariably
postpones until the last possible min
ute. Denying himself to most of the
callers who presented themselves to-
day, he spent the morning working on
Eis inaugural address. His afternoon
as usual here, was spent on the golf
course in a downpour of ruin.
The inaugural address, It is said
will renew the pledges made in has
speech accepting the Republican nomi-
nation. The chief of these was peace
with Germany so soon as Republican
Congress can pass declaration ending
the state of war and present it for his
signature. Congress, as has been an
nounced previously. is to be summoned
in special session early in April. The
address is expected 60 be brief.

Star, Mr.. Harding is working with a

While officials were discreetly silent
