Advocate Humane
 Work as Factor In World Welfare

Albany, N. Y. March 27-'The hour is near at hand,' says H. H. Jacobs of Kansas City, Kansas, humane worker known nationally, when the humane cause will be recognized as the large factor in the worlds wei fare that it is."
 In an article in the coming issue of the National Humane Review, that has the strong approval of Dr. Will liam O.. Stillman, national president of the American Humane association, H. H. Jacobs urges that, as nearly worldwide as it is possible, we should set aside the forty-five minutes direct ly following the close of the afternoon session of public schools on the Thurs day of Humane Week, to be exclusive ly devoted to the animals.
 Children coming out of school will forming acts of kindness to them. On the next day, either in class work or for the usual Friday afternoon exer- cises whatever has been done during the forty-five minutes by both teach CTS and pupils would serve well for humane lessons.
 Then after the children, let us ask all sorts of notable persons to act their parts in that forty-f1ve minutes.
 Use this bit of time as a new and higher land mark"
 President Warren G. Harding and Mrs. Harding have been asked to take a part in Humane Week exercises, ApriF 24 to 29th. Several governors will issue proclamations urging recog- milton of the week as a matter of pub lie welfare, particularly desirable at this time of peace and humane appeal.

Washington, March 27.-John Bull and your Uncle Samuel, who came out of the recent armament confer ence standing more nearly shoulder to apparently have decided to test out this hands across the sea- spirit and see if it is genuine.
 Elimination of Anglo-Am erican dis cord, which many international ob- servers hold to be the most important result achieved by the late armament conference, is to be reflected on both sides of the Atlantic by slashing cuts into the armies and navies of Britain that go much farther than ordered by the conference.
 Singularly enough, the cuts are somewhat similar on both sides. pen-so, or whether it developed out of some of the numerous "conversa- uons" between American and British statesmen in Washington during the last four months is matter of con- lecture. Nevertheless it's true.
 Parallel at Washington.
 The recent recommendation of the Lloyd George Government to the demobilized to the extent of 50,0O0 officers and men finds an almost ex- act parallel in Washington. The present strength of the American Army is 150.000 officers and men. Congressional pruners are planning to cut the American army just that much eliminate 5000 officers through the agency of 'tp1ucking boards" and. cut down the enlisted personnel to around 100000.
 The Lloyd George government recommended to the House of Com mons that 35,0o0 officers and men of the British Navy be demobilized. This, too, fits in almost exactly with Congressional plans on this side of the water.
 The present strength of the Amer fcan Navy is around 105,000 officers and men. Congress threatens to cut it to 75,0O0 men, a reduction of 3O,0OO as against the British cut of 35,O0O. Congressmen, with an eye to saving money, and an argument next Novem- Der, assert that with the reduction in

Emigrants From Japan Don't Like
 South America

Tol1io. March 27 - Japanese emi- grants have shown a decided disincli- nation to seek their fortunes in South America in the past two years despite the "overcrowding in Japan and of fers of bonuses.
 The Brazilian government pays f15 to each Japanese emigrant but. never theleSs. Japanese labor contract orS have found it impossible to fulfill their contracts with Brazilian coffee planters to furnish 5000 Japanese laZ borers each year.
 Last year the number of Japanese eHigrants to Brazil was estimated at goo. These figures are given by an official of the Commercial Bureau at tached to the Foreign Office
 The reason assigned flor this dfsin- rHnation to transmigrate to South America is the improved status of the labor market at home. Officials of the bureau predict that the coming year will see a greater exodus from Japan than for some years past.
 The total Japanese population in South America in 1920 is estimated by Japanese authorities at about 4O,- 900, of whom 1000 are in Brazil, in Bolivia and 400 in Chile.
 Emigration is being encouraged by the Japanese government, says Mr. Akarnatsu, chief of the Commercial Bureau Railway fares to ports of embarkation are reduced and special steamship rates offered.
 Last year the government advanc- ed S50.0Oo to one company to promote emigration by means of moving pic lures showing conditions abroad. chiefly in South America Cornpara- tive statistics show that Japan proper is just about as thickIy populated as England Japan has 376 persons to the square mile against England's 572, Hollands 539 and Belgium's 664

ployed the same road going and com ing, the evil spirits now acquainted with the route would be inclined to lead another relative to the grave yard. We are not superstitious-no, indeed, these ideas will simply persist, is the better way to state it!' he said.
 we have an old gardner who comes in once in a while to trim our trees, fix the hedges and to do similar work. Asked to do a, little grating on a persimm trees he called in a young man for the work, I found out later that in Japan the grafters are all young men-we speak here of horticulture, not politics they inn part their life and vigor to the graft ed parts. And I thought that Bur bank would have been without honor in this land.
 While June, the month of roses, is the popular time for marriages in America, in Japan the most unpopu- lar month is that of September, the month of the monkey. The Japanese word for monkey is 'saru,' and 'saru means to leave. If married in this month the tendency would be for the bride to leave soon; thus the months is strictly avoided"

CO-Eds Revive
 Old Fashions

Chicago, ILL, March, 27.-Flashy colored hosiery with open work; smooth fitting waists that outline the figure from throat to hips; gloves to the elbows; side button shoes, pointed and box toed; immense poke bonnets: deer skin bodice; dresses of myrtle green silks, cameFs hair, satin and velvet Such were the styles of half a. century ago tha. co-eds of the Un- iversity of Chicago are showing synp- toms of reviving.
 This apparent renaissance is 1n- dicated by the steadily increasing de- Godey's 'Lady's Book and Magazine, a periodical that portrayed mlladys s styles more than fifty years from 1892. So strongly do the co-eds crave plates of frocks and gowns that were worn in the middle of the last century that the library is seeking additional copies of the ''Lady's Book to meet R Many things the coo-eds are learn ing from their 'Iady's Book study; styles that they believe were ultra modern, they find, were common to. their grandm others

Anglo-American ''Accord''
 Tested by Arms Slashes

I the number of ships already agreed to the navy does not need a larger persone1 than 75,000.
 In appropriations for the upkeep of the army and navy there are found similar corresponding slashes.
 The British estimate it will take 21 100000 pounds sterling to run their ravy next year. This is about $105,- 000,00 at normal exchange.
 The American budget estimate was s431, 1,754,ooo for the American navy next year. It is regarded as virtu- ally certain, however, that Congress siona1 cutting is going to bring this figure down by one-half, or to around 20O,00o.000 pounds This would be almost to a parity with the British estimate, for the expenses of runnfng the American navy are just about twice what they are for the British. The American sailor gets more money, eats more expensive food, is more ex- pensively clad. and other expenses are similarly greater.
 For the British Army the estimate was 2o.ooo,ooo pounds sterling. or change. The American estimate in the last budget was s369, 9,902,107. But here again the Congressional knives are going to be keenly felt, and it is not impr obab1e that considering the differences in the cost of up-keep, the British and American estimates will not be far apart when the Congress completes its surgery.
 Analogy Goes Further.
 A similar comparison is to be found in the estimates for the air forces of the two countries. Great Britain has all her air services combined under the Royal Air Force, for which the government estimate 5,00O,o00 pounds sterling (about S25, 5,000,000) would be necessary.
 The American air force is split be- tween the Army Air Service and the Naval Air Service. The estimate for the former this year is $14, ,964, 400, and for the latter $16,195, 1000. or a total of $31, ,159, 400.
 It would seem that, all things con- sidered, the land and sea forces of Britain and America are to be some where near a parity for some years to come as the estimates of neither country contemplate any constructive building.

from the Kaiserin." the author re- marks.
 Then appeared the man whom the author seems to blame for the Kali ser's final decision. Counsellor of the Legation Baron von Gruenau. At 10 F. M Gruenau, called at the trains dining room and told the Kaiser he had been instructed by Foreign Min ister von Hintze by telephone and all so by von Hindenburg to urge the Kaiser tc postpone his departure for Holland, since only by a quick sur prise action would such trip be sue ceSSful. Gruenau told the Kaiser that all roads were blocked by mutinous troops tearing the epaulettes From their officers and that not even an auto could pass then and that further hes itation by the Kaiser would be fatal
 Advised Kaiser to Leave Early.
 General VOn PleSSein who hitherto had opposed the Kaiser's departure, listened to Baron Gruenau and think ing that the latter acted on von Hin denburgs instructions, now advised the Kaiser to leave early the next morn ing.
 s"The Kaiser had been worn and wearied down and saw no other way out" the author states. The book shows that while von Hindenburg ad- vfsed the Kaiser to prepare to leave in an extreme emergency, he had noth- parture. This part of the volume links up with recent correspondence made public between the Kaiser and Hin denburg, writing a year ago.
 While the volume shows the col lapse of the army of the field of bat tie was utter and absolute, it reveals was not nearly so bad as heretofore

 HOURS OF LAST WORLD WAR TOLD
New Book Shows He Wanted to Stay With Army and
 Fight Last Battle, But Was Overruled.

not wish to exp ose' myself to a charge of cowardice, leaving that part of my army which possibly remained loyal to me. I rather would die fighting side by side with them. However, responsible military chiefs, even the general staff, declared the troops did not want to fight longer, nor were they physically capable of fight ing either an enemy or their own countrymen. Thus, since the Im- perial Chancellor, Max von Baden, in conjunction with the Social Democrats, base1y betrayed me from abuSh, there's nothing left for me tp do but to make up my mind to depart my army - am leaving with a bleeding heart.'
 So much for the Kaiser's own authenticated testimony of the most important episode of his own life as war lord, and concerning one of the interesting phases of the end of the World War and the beginning of the now historic German revolution.
