GROUND HOG SEES SHAW0W, so GOES
 BACK FOR. 6 WEEKS

The ground hog came out yesterday morning, looked out of the corner of his aye at his shadow on the ground. blew his nose in the balny spring breezes, turned right around and walked back into his hole again.
 The ancient tradition is that if the ground hog sees his shadow on the second day of February. then the com munity in which he lives will have to put up with six more weeks of bad weather.
 Also according to ancient tradition, the ground hog always comes out early in the morning and stays out until he sees his shadow. Weather Observer Horton says the sun rose clear yesterday morning and so, if the superstition is to be countenanced, the ground hog has brought six more weeks of winter for Birmingham.
 The forecast for today is, Fair. "

clared that Japan will allay suspicion
and prevent hostile criticism by prom
Using to take part in the Far East con
ference without further delay.
CONFIDENCE IN
DIPLOMATIC sAGACITY.
But even II Japan gives her word to
60 into conference it does not mean that
she will sacrifice beforehand any of her
views. A lively fight is certain. Japan
believes that the crucial moment has ar
rived and she must stake her future upon
the cleverness o. her diplomats at the
Harding meeting. It is for this rea-
son that the best brains Of the empire
are being selected to represent this coun-
try. The fact that the government is
already casting about to find the clever
est statesmen for the mission to Wash
ington is further proof that Japan is
accepting.
The cabinet he's given daily considers
ton to the conference. There was a
special session on Monday followed by
the regular session Tuesday. The matter
was again discussed today.
Officials of the foreign office still main
tain that no formal communication has
been received from the Unltoi States in
reply to this country's request for infor-
nation as to the scope ana character OF
the Far East discussions. II " admitted.
however, that Secretary Of Stase Hughe :
and Baron Shidehara, the japanese am
bassador to Washington. discussed tie
matter Later the am0a ssador cabled q
report TO Toxic which Will enable Japan
to have a reply by the time the formal dip

drawn up, but the% have not yet bseu ap-
proved by the cabinet.

status quo as it existed at the beginning
Of the war and consider only what has
happened since, japan would probably
withdraw from the discussion.
There are but two ways Of approach
ing the subject Of the Orient which give
promise Of international cooperation.
One is the widest possible approach to
the problem, which would open up not
only the subject of Shantung, ManchIFia
and Siberia, but also Hong Kong, Indo-
China and the American naval and trade
policies in the Philippines, Guam and
Hawaii. and the other is practically to
recog nlze the status quo and building
International cooperation for the future
upon that.
Against the former method are the
selfish interests OF practically every
power which VIII sit at the table, but
IT is the only method which will bring
Japan back to a basis of equality with
the other powers IN Asia, so great have
been the island empires strides on the
neighboriug continent since 1914.
AMERICA AGAINST
STATUS oUO.
Against recognizing the status quo
lies American opposition to what Japan
did in Asia while Europe was too busy
fighting to restrain her her retaining
Of Shantung, her seizure Of Siberian ports
and her enforcement Of the twenty one
demands upon China.
The invitation TO China to take part IN
the conference is also interpreted in
Toxic and here as indicating an inten-
ton on the part Of the United States to
approach the problem Of the Orient In
the broadest way possible, with purpose
Of substituting international cooperation
for the existing individual aggression
upon the continent. But even this is not
conclusive China is weak; she may be
consulted as she was at Paris and
ignored.
The task before the conference, IN
less the powers taking part In 1t. for
selfish reasons, limit its scope to future
rather than TO the past, presents tre-
mendous difficulties. 1t is true, as the
dispatches from Toxic suggest, that the
fate Of the japanese Empire is at stake.
The empire as the japanese have come
TO conceive it. extending on to the
continent OF Asia, is at stake.
CHOICE PUT UP
TO LLOYD GEORGE.
And if that is not at stake then Anglo
American relations upon which England
now sets such store are at stake. II the
United Stats desires the widest possible
discussion OF the Eastern problem and
Japan the narrOWest possible. Lloyd
George must choose between Japan and
America
II ho aims to reconcile these two di-
vergent views. as he did at Paris those
Of Wilson and Clemenceau, he is likely
TO leave upon this country the impress
sion Of too great friendliness to japanese
ambitions IN the East. and the conference,
instead Of carrying forward the present
tendency toward a closer understanding
and cooperation between the two great
Anglo-Saxon powers, will mark the limits
Of the reapproachment.
The international alignment Of the fu-
ture VIII be settled when the limits are
fixed for the discussion that will come
before the Harding conference here in
November.

following propositions in the order CT

/. Unconditional acceptance by Japan.
2. Acceptance by Japan with the under
standing that there shall be preliminary
discussion Of the program.
3. Acceptance by Japan on condition Of
a preliminary drafting Of the program for
the proposed conference.
AS far as the United States is concerned.
It is understood, at the present time. its
proposed discussion Of Far Eastern sub
jects centers chiefly about the "open door"
policy in China; the integrity Of China
and the integrity Of Russia.

CHICAGO ROAD
IS SHORTENED
Distance Between Rock Island and

Eight Miles.

The road between Rocky Island
and Chicago has been shortened
eight miles through the opening OF
route 6 between EIburn and Gen
eva recently. The opening of the
road is reported by the Chicago
Motor club. which says that the
road between Cinton. Iowa, and
Chicago is almost entirely paved.
Until the heavy rains OF last
week the roads in Illinois had re-
covered from the previous rains
and were getting into excellent
shape. But the recent downpour
made all dirt surfaces slippery and
very bad. Oiled roads did not SUI
fer, but through constant wetting
and heavy travel have broken down
in many places. In general all dirt
roads are bad at this time
The report from Cedar Rapids is
that snow and rain has made the
roads suffer. They are froz-
en- hard and are rough. The
Red Ball route north and south is
better than the Lincoln highway
and the best route from Chicago lis
to Dewitt and north to Grant high
way.
