ARMENIAN PLEA TO cONTB BEFORE CONFERENCE TO-DAY

Lausanne. Dec. 25.--(By The A, P.N- The Armenian plea for the establishment of an Armenian national home in Tur- Key will be presented to the Near East ern conference tomorrow by President Noradunghian Pasha, of the Armenian national delegation. He was once min ister Of foreign affair:s in the Turkish cabinet and has been invited to appear before the sub-commisslon on nninorities to explain tho desires of the Armenian people. The Turks have ann tunced their de- cision not to attend tlEs meeting. For one thing, they say theS have made up their minds definitely lot to set aside any part of Turkey for the Armenians for another. they assert that as the Ar menians are Turkish subjects they ahould plead their cause before the Turks, not before the conference as a whole
 Noradunghian says that his people will accept any locality in Turkey which the conference decides rpen and also a dominion form of government under the Turks similar to that enjoyed by Cam ada and Ireland under the English, If the territorial limits of the republic of Erivan are to be extended the Erivan proclaimed the real home of the krnae- nians, then, he thinks, Russia should be asked to guarantee the independence oi ETivan, which now threatens to become a Russian bolshevik province.
 The Rev. George R. MontRomeYy, oi New York and Connecticut, director of the ArrneniaD-America society, who is in Lausanne laboring for the cause of the Armenian people. said tonight that the goal of all the frienda of Armenia was to procure a national home under condi, tions which would provide some inspir- atton for the Armenians tn the future he had not abandoned hope that sorns territory would be Det aside for this purpoee.

 These reports caused her home to be besieged all day today by prominent so- cial. political and theatrical personages, all eager to know of her condition
 What she now needs is complete rest for many weeks, her doctors say, but to the energetic star, the idea of inactivity is most repulsive.
 "Rest? can't rest-H I did. I would die" she is reported to have told her ad- visers. Cable messages and teiesTanis of sym pathy have been received from many countries, including the United States, ex- pressing sympathy and hope for recovery.

said that the key to the solution o1 the present difficulty of population question in Japan lies in the emigra- tion of the Japanese people to that country.
 "As a matter of fact, emigration to South America has long been going on, as is seen in the presence of many Japanese in Brazil and in neighbor- ing countries. but it has hitherto been carried on in a very half hearted manner. The majority of the Japan ese emigrants to South America were poor laborers without capital and without any capable leaders, and the result was that they did not succeed, and led miserable lives there. It will, therefore be seen. that the present method of emigration to South Am- erica should be radically improved so as to make it a success"
 Several parties of Japanese, going to the centennial exhibition at Rio Janeiro are to look into the possibil- ity of Japanese settling in Brazil but the government denies the reports that this movement is to receive off cial support.

Bookman that every form of religion
 should have it's able defender in the
 public library. The thought at the
 bottom of the suggestion is com
 mon thought with us, namely that the library is an open forum, free. not only in the sense of costing you noth- ing: unless you keep the book more than two weeks. not only in the sense that one is as free to go out as to come in, and to stay out as to do either but free also in the sense which Milton meant in his great es- say on Freedom of Print. free for the other side. full of the raw material of public opinion. free for opposing and contrasting views.
 While we are waiting and it may be a long wait-for the common schools to find some way to get the bible into the schools or to keep it out, to restore religion to its former place in education or to prevent any threatened approach of church and state, we can at least keep on doing in the library what cannot be done a present in the schools, that is. we can give to the public an opportunity for

Osaka. Japan, May 22.-(By MaiD The English edition of the Osaka Mainichi. the only )reign newspaper in Japan. conducted exclusively by Japanese claiming that the latest statistics show that there are 429 Japanese to every square mile of Japan proper and that the population is increasing at the rate of 14.6 per thousand says it is a grave problem for Japan to ind an outlet for her people. Japan lacks natural resources and is already overpopulated, so the Mainichi says emigration is the only solution and suggests South America as the place to send the overflow.
 Both the United States and Can- ada keep their doors shut against the Japanese people, and it would be im- possible for the Japanese to smigrate into those countries" says the Main ichi. Tt is true that there are Man churiA and Siberia left for Japanese emigrants, but these are rather places for capitalists to exploit than for la borers. Under present circumstances 1t seems that South America offers the most promising future for the Japanese people, both politically and economically. It may therefore be
