Ex-Emperor Charles Captured; Attempts Suicide
JAPAN LOOKS TOWARD SIBERIA
 IN MOST THREATENING WAY

Now, then, where will Japan's pol icy to obtain iron, coal and timber, lead the world?
 To obtain these much needed raw materials will Japan pursue a policy of territorial aggression, or will she be content to remain economically de- pendent, like her sister nations?
 And if Japan finds that she will be content merely with strong com mercial program, will she also be con tent to have competition for the riches of the East on an open and fair basis?
 These are the elements in an ab- sorbing situation that command the serious attention of the nations.
 Japan is playing fox today. She has not permitted the world to know her goal. There is mystery in the air. Suspicion stalks hand and hand with open distrust and enmity until Japanese leaders and Japanese de- lenders have found it necessary to deny ulterior motives and to lean on the flimsy statement that Japanese policy is misunderstood.
 But because military Japan is ap- parently unwilling to desert certain methods and motives charged against the nation she is reaping a harvest

Japan, in the making of great nation, offers the world it's most pug zling and complex political and eco homie questions.
 Indeed, the surface of a peaceful world is it's thinnest in the Far East.
 The various situations and cOndi- tions in the Orient are so pregnant with possibilities that the attention of thoughtful world leaders is turned toward the Yellow peoples to such an extent that Oriental policies and problems are uppermost in their minds.
 In view of this the obvious ques- tion to be asked is:
 What is Japan doing and trying to do?"
 Briefly, Japan is trying to main tain her position as one of the five great world powers.
 And Japan is seeking to accomplish this by curing great national weak ness.

AMBITION

Ambition can be friend or angel.
It can ennoble or ruin.
1t can be blessing or a curse.
Money can be put to high or bare
purposes. SO can ambition.
Every man above the level of ami
NAL has in him some ambition, worthy
or unworthy.
Webster thus defines ambition:
"An eager and sometimes an inord-
nate, desire for preferment, honor su.
periority, power or the attainment Of
something"
The individual or the race without
vigorous, impellng ambition stag,
yates sinks and decays.
Few there are in this country with
out some ambition.
To he without ambition Is to be
mentally dead.
But supreme care must be taken
that our ambition is not such as to
kill us morally and spiritually. Am.
bitIon may be likened to a spirited,
speedy horse. 1t can carry Us over
much ground quickly If we keep a
proper rein on it and guide It along
the right road, but If given too much
rein, il is in danger OF landing us In
the ditch.
Once having selected a crcditable
useful, worthwhile aim in life then
ambition can become invaluable in
helping us to achieve that aim.
Almost every one of Americas most
notable enterprises are the fulhlment
of some dynamic, farseelng mans am
billions.
Life without ambition would be as
tasteless as meat without salt
