JAPANESE
ACTIVITY IN SIBERIA

Japanese troops in Siberia have
practically assumed the role Of an
army Of occupation and are daily in
creasing their activities, according to
reports in the possession of the State
Department today from it's represen-
tatives there. The reports submitted
by some of these observers go so
far as to urge the United States to
initiate immediate steps to get the
Japanese out of the country.
The Japanese are interfering with
the operations of the railroads and in
one instance refused to permit the
distribution of railroad supplies pur-
chased by the Allies. according to
one of these governmental reports
received In the last days of the Will
son administration and turned over
to the new administration.
On several occasions, 1t is reported
the Japanese refused to permit the
railroads to pay their men north of
Imam, resulting in confusion and de-
lay in operation.
Chinese officials at Nikolsk have
made serious charges that the Japan
ese are interfering with their pacifi-
cation work. According to State De-
partment reports. Chinese brigands
operating in the district were arrested
by Chinese officials, but later released
by the Japanese. 1t Is further
charged that many Chinese brigand
raids have been made with the full
knowledge and consent of the Japan
ese.
The only favorable report in the
last few weeks stated that japanese
officials promised to discontinue the
practice of reauisitioning property in
occupied territory. Several protests
have been made against this Japan
ese practice by American representa-
ttyes

1000 TROOPS AT DUSSELDORF.
There are between 5000 and 1000

the patrols that are on duty on the

were subsequently reinforced.
French, British and Belgian sentries
paced the streets during the night
and stood guard on the bridges.
Gen. DeGoutte, commander of the
French army of occupation, who
visited Dusseldorf in company with
Gen. Gaucher, was apparently well
satisfied with everything he found
there.
The Reichswehr at Dusseldorf were
taken by surprise by the swiftness OF
the allied movement. They left the
city just as the allies arrived.

For us, of 1922, our raw materials are
at hand, in the twelve months to come.
We realize to be sure, that in the final
account of December 81, next, there will
be myriad of things left undone that we
might have done or that we yearned to do.
But in the meantime, it is the doing that
is the thing, and the holiday that we can
allow ourselves must not extend minute

ABOUT TO RECEIVE"

Truly, New Years Day should have
been Thanksgiving Day, for it is that
which we are about to receive for which
we ask divine help to be truly thankful.
1t is a false and altogether vain view
to take of the beginning of the year to
assume that it is the place for resume of
the errors or even of the accomplishments
of the past twelve months. That should
be the business of December 81 and of the
days previous to it. Every year, in the
spiritual sense, is fresh beginning. New
Years for us today is the beginning OF
1922.
The coming twelve months, or hfty-two
weeks, or three hundred and sixty-hve
days are going to be very fruitful with
the harvest of our individual and our
collective efforts The tale that is told on
December 31st begins Monday.
We should be thankful that we have
these twelve months ahead of us, with all
their promise of opportunity to be fulfilled,
of aspirations to be made flesh among us,
of faith and hope, to eliminate in fruition.
When God made man in his own image
He endowed him with may qualities, but
best of all He made man to have the same

selves to create that we most crave-it is
this for which we fight, and when the
desire for creation passes, then everything
that is divine in man disintegrates and

CHRISTMAS SHOW

Unexpected pleasures are always the
most enjoyable. This truism was fully
.exemplifed on Monday morning when the
New Palace Theatre Players of St. Paul,
entertained us with an excellent perfor-
nance. The show was given under the
personal direction of Mr.. J. O. Hooley,
manager of the New Palace Theatre of
St. Paul, assisted by Stage Director Sidney
P. Payne, and the New Palace stage en-
,ployees. The little Symphony orchestra of
the New Palace Theatre, consisting of
Verne J. Rooney, director and violinist;
Robert Schenck, piccolo; Fred Woodward,
bass; Phil. M. Foldoe, clarinet; Frank c.
Nowick, cornet; Otto Walters, trombone;
Maurice Kneissel, drums; accompanied
the theatrical performers and provided the
orchestral music for the occasion. Our
thanks goes out to the institutional man
agement, also Mr.. ]. o. Hooley, manager
of the New Palace Theatre and his capa-
BILE assistants, and especially to the players
who were so kind as to give us so much
of their time and ability, in turning what
would have been forlorn day into one of
joy and happiness. We should like to ex-
patiate on the merits of each of the players
individually but if we were to devote the
entire space in our publication to it, we
could not begin to tell what we thought of
the n1avers mr. the eniOyment they gave us.
Words are inadequate to express our graft
tude so we shall not attempt to do so, but
on behalf of the inmates we wish each and
every one who assisted in making the day
such memorable one, Happy and Pros
porous New Year.

THE LITTLE SERGEANT

the Song and Dance Revue made her first
visit to St. Paul in 1917 when the United
States was feverishly conducting Liberty
Loan drives, Red Cross drives, Belgium

of it and while in ST. Paul assisted the
Pioneer Press with its soldiers tobacco

Violet, the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Albert Hastings Stroud, was born at
Hastings, and it is said she started center

She used her voice to good advantage and
is still using it as part of song and dance
review at the New Palace this week.
Among some. of the big things the little
Miss has accomplished as told by large

from prominent people and newspapers all
over the United States, is the sale of ST.

900 worth of War Savings stamps; she

tobacco fund for disabled soldiers; secured

CHRISTMAS MESSAGE

For the twentieth time it is my rare
privilege to come to you for a heart to
heart talk on life.
Of all the tasks of the year, there is
none that gives me greater pleasure than
the sending of my Annual Christmas Mes
sage to prisoners. While this letter goes
to one hundred and fifty thousand of my
fellow men in bonds, like to feel that it
is a personal greeting to each one of you.
Furthermore, in every one seem to see
composite of the best in all. That vision
will come true just to the extent that you
recognize and obey the highest promptings
of your nature. Behind you is the heri-
tage of Mother love. Before you is the
endowment of divine Fatherhood. Between
these two, let me convince you, there is
such a thing as human Brotherhood.
1t is because Of that brotherhood that
the Central Howard Association has, for
twenty years, offered its services to every
man who comes out of prison with the
genuine purpose of making good. 1t is
for this reason that it has. had the CO.
operation of thousands of friends, employ
ers, supporters and believers in its mission.
All these friends of ours are friends of
yours. Then think no longer that you are
forlorn, forsaken and alone in the world.
At this Christmas time be grateful for the
help at your command, and for your own
God given resources.
The birth of Christ can be for all the
perpetual coming of God into human con-
sciousness. The spirit of Christmas, which
is the spirit of giving, should be the cri-
terian of all the coming year.
The observance of seasons and the COM
memoration of places but emphasize the
partial and relative character of all things
temporal. 1t is the newly awakened life
which abides, and that is the substance
we seek.
Whether we know it or not, our SEEM
ing desire for change is but part of the
inherent prompting to seek the unchang-
ing, the infinite, the eternal. If we only
knew it, the ful6llment of this constant
desire is not far from every one of us. 1t
will draw nearer as we approach. 1t may
be found in the prison, in the street, upon
the sea, or it may be missed anywhere.
There is no need to travel, or to be some
one else in order to find it, for ''the King
dom of heaven is within YOU"
There is no need to fear
Since God is near
For God is everywhere
And He is here"
That this great fact may be realized in
practical ways, and in every day life, is
certain. 1t is the best medicine for physi-
cal or mental suffering. 1t is the solvent
for selfshness, self-reproach or self-pity.
Let me help you find this way to bet
ter, bigger, and happier life. Write me of
your needs and hopes Address me at
1916 Transportation Bldg, Chicago, and
l will take pleasure in responding.
With all good wishes for the coming
year, am as ever,
Sincerely yours,

Supt. The Central Howard Association.
