Advice to the LoveIorn
By Beatrice Fairfax

want him back. What shall
I do?-Hopeful.
1 am convinced that you
shouldn't try to do anything to
bring this young man back, be-
cause he appears to be inclined
to resent the scheming type Of
girl. Your position is favor
able, because apparently you
haven't quarrelled with him,
you are still good friends and
his family thinks well of you.
He is likely to drift back to
you of his own accord, and If
he doesn't, try to take more
interest in your other friends.
By all means, go out and enjoy
yourself and don't wait in for
him to call you. I am glad
you are inclined to be 1nde-
pendent.

JAPANESE TO AVOID
PEACE DISCUSSIONS
Geneva Delegation Told Not
to Attend League Com
mittee Sessions.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
TOXIC, April 16.-Th" japanese
delegation at Geneva was instructed by
the government today not to attend
sessions of the League of Nations Com
mittee of Nineteen, appointed to deal
with the Sino-Japanese controversy.
If the committee specifically requests
the attendance of a Japanese repre-
sentative. the governments instructions
said, the delegation may send minor
official to furnish information. but not
to participate in the discussions.
The government takes the position
that Japan does not recognize the COM
mittee'S competence to deal with the
Sino-Japanese situation because Japan
denies the applicability of Article XIV
of the League covenant, under which
the committee was formed.
The committee was appointed by the
League Assembly a month ago after 1t
had approved a three-point program for
a peaceful settlement of the conflict.
The three points were a declaration
that agreements reached under military
pressure would not be recognized, an
assertion upholding China'S claim that
the Assembly was competent to deal
with the entire Far Eastern question
and a provision for supervising peace
making problems through the Com
mittee of Nineteen.
