Msqr. Sheehan Cites Bible
In Defense Co-operafion

Msgr. Lawrence J. Shehan. as
sistant pastor of St. Patrick's Catho-
lie Church here, yesterday quoted
the Bible in justifying the obliga-
tion of citizens to cooperate in ma
tional defense.
MSgr. Shehan in a sermon read
these words attributed to Jesus
Christ in the gospel of Matthew:
Render to Caesar the things
that are Caesars, and to God the
things that are Gods
MSgr. Shehan added:
ut is the plain teaching of the
church that the civil government
has the right and the duty to pro-
vide those means which are neces-
sary to defend the country. Citizens
in turn have the obligation to CO.
operate with the State and to yield
to it whatever is necessary for de-
fense from both internal and eXter-
nal enemies.
present conditions make 1t
obvious that the well-being of the
State can only be defended and pre-
served by military means"
On the question of possible ex-
emption of conscientious objectors,
Msgr. Shehan declared:
when the defense of the country
requires the services of certain indi-
viduals, then there can be no ques-
ton about the obligation of those
individuals to perform military
service and none of these individuals
has the right to refuse. Con-
scientious objectors will find little
support Of their stand in the tradi-
tional teaching of the church"

Alien Registration
Totals 1,9o3,4S3,
Half Of Estimate
9,843 Are Listed From
Washington Area by
Justice Department

With a little more than one-thlrd
Of the registration period past, more
than half of the estimated total OF
aliens in the United States have
complied with the new registration
law, it was announced today at the
Justice Department.
Reporting as of October IL, Earl
G. Harrison, director Of registration,
said that 1908, ,483 non-cltizenS had
registered and been fingerprinted.
1t is estimated that there are $780,
900 subject to the law.
That the potential registrants
were lnderestimated in some in
stances is shown once more in to-
days report, which discloses that
the total in Washington now is
e.843, as compared to 70l8 1t was
figured would come under the law.
Richmond shows 1,766, as against
an estimated total of l,244. Norfolk
has registered 858 out of possible
total of 1912, and Baltimore 1888
out Of 30,100.
The figures for Washington re-
leased by national registration au-
thorities, for some reason yet uneX-
planned, run nearly 5000 more than
tabulations kept by local post office
officials in charge Of the work here.
Our records show that through
last Friday about 6875 aliens had
registered in the District Of Colum-
bia," Postmaster Vincent C. Burke
said today. He said that he did not
know how the e,843 figure had been
computed.
AT the present rate of registra-
ton. there probably will be more
than 10000 aliens registered in the
District by the closing day-Decem-
ber 26," Mr. Burke added.

the Chinese government. Recent
proclamations of japanese militar.
lists on the spot limited at the possi-
bility Of an undeclared truce by sug-
gesting, In effect, If you will quit
fighting, we will quit, too"
In other words, the Japanese are
doing everything possible to encour-
age q desire for peace among the
Chinese, In the hope of bringing
about breakdown of Chungking s
resistance program and inducing all
or part Of the Chinese government
to effect a rapprochement with
Wang Ching-wei.
This may be regarded as the final
effort before the establishment OF
Wang's new government, which has
utterly failed so far to win the ex-
pected support from the peace
minded Chungking elements.
1t Is noticeable that the Japa-
nese made no offer to further mod
ify their terms. The fact Is that 1t is
not matter of method at all, it Is a
matter of terms and until the views
OF the two sides are brought much
nearer together than they are now
all japanese maneuvers for peace are
likely to prove futile.

China Is Offered
Three Courses for
Peace With Japan
RodicuI Departure in
Toxic Policy Indicated
By 1t. Gen. Yonoeowo
Bx A. d. STEELE.

Chicago Daily News Foreisn Correspondent.
TOXIC, Feb. 17.-China today
was given the choice OF three roads
of settlement with Japan In the
most clear-cut exposition of Japa-
nese peace views yet enunciated by
the Japanese government. Speak
ing at budget committee meeting
in the House Of Representatives this
morning 1t. Gen. Heisuke Yana-
gawa, director of the powerful China
Affairs Board, said that the China
war would be considered ended
when any one of the following pos
/ sibilities had been realized:
l. The Chinese government at
Chungking offers acceptable
peace terms to Japan.
2. The Chungking government
disbands and allows itself to be
absor oed into the new central
government headed by Wang
Ching-wei.
3. The Chungking government
offers to work in collaboration
with Wang Ching-wei's govern
/. ment.
New Departure in Policy.
OF these the third Is especially
interesting. for it constitutes radi-
cal new departure in Japanese pol
icy. It amounts, in effect, to an
offer of truce and the division of
China into two administrative
spheres-one an independent one,
the other autonomous, under Japa-
| nese influence. If the plan were
frealized, the first result would be
the cessation of hostilities. enabling
the withdrawal of a considerable
part of Japan's huge army from oc-
cupied regions. This, the Japanese
anticipate. would, in turn, soften
anti-Japanese feeling among the
Chinese people and strengthen the
influence of their protege, Wang
Ching-wei, who at present is handi-
capped by inability to organize a
government without Japanese Army
support.
The Japanese have little to lose
and everything to gain in such for
mula, for 1t would enable them not
only to reduce the colossal military
burden of China, but to continue to
hold all the political advantages won
through their existing agreement
with Wang Ching-wei. In other
words. they would have their cake
and eat it. too.
The japanese have no desire to
advance any deeper into China, and
If they can simply induce Chang
Kai-shek to cease fighting they have
| won the war. The advantage in such
an arrangement to the Chinese gov
eminent would be the cessation of
the costly war and the continuance
of the status quo in unconquered
parts of China, with the chance of
merging with the Wang Ching wei
government later should q face
saving opportunity occur.
Would Sacrifice Principles.
Naturally, such an arrangement
| would mean the sacrifice of princi-
piles for which the Chinese are
fighting, and it is highly improbable
that the scheme will win the favor of

Robin Hood Mythical
SYMBOL or Real Man

The gallant Robin Hood, unsur-
passed in archery, skilled in sword
play, romantic and gay and full Of
the milk Of human kindness, is as
well-known and living a figure to
US Of today as he was to Sir Walter
Scott, Washington Irving and I'M
told thousands Of the years gone.
by. In fact, he may be more Of
a moving and breathing being to-
day than ever before, for Douglas
Fairbanks and Enrol Flynn contrib
uted to make him a dynamic and
lovable figure on the screen.
But did the stalwart champion of
the common people ever really live?
The fact Is there Is no actually con-
elusive historical proof that the be-
loved robber ever lived outside bal
lads and story books. J. Stacye is
Of the conviction that Robin Hood
was a real man, but he adds, IA
clever analytical critic might, per-
haps, very easily cut up any theory
that has been given on the subject"
The first known mention of Robin
Hood is in William Langland's poem,
Vision of Piers the Plowman,"
published about 1877. He is next
mentioned in Wyntown's Scottish
Chronicle" After that the legends
and anecdotes Of the stout-hearted
woodsman and his merry men grew
thick and fast. In Sir Walter
SCOTS romance, Ivanhoe, Robin
Hood plays a prominent part, and
appears under the names Of Diccon-
Bend-the-Bow, Locksley the Archer,
and finally under his traditional
name Of Robin Hood.
Some historians and fiction writ
ers incline to feel that "merrie Rob-
in" was man Of flesh and blood,
though they realize the want Of his
torical data to support them.

Original American Flag
Made in IT'S by Hubert

This business about Betsy Ross
and the first American flag is being
stirred up all over again.
Betsy, says the Suffolk County
Historical society of Long Island,
missed putting together the first
American flag by full year. The
organization has flag to prove it.
Thousands of visitors to the New
York Worlds fair, it was disclosed,
have gone away startled after see
ing an inscription beneath a tat
tered banner in the Long Island
Regional exhibit Of the New York
State building there.
It reads:
''The John Hubert Flag-Original
Stars and Stripes-1775."
The banner, says the plate, was
carried by John Hulbert's company
Of the Third regiment Of New York,
from Fort Ticonderoga to Philadel-
phia in the fall Of IT'S. Repair
crews are said to have found the
flag in the walls Of a house owned
by Hubert in ITS.
Its six-pointed stars are arranged
in the form Of the crosses Of st.
George and st. Andrew, set on
blue field which ends at the sixth
stripe.
The New York group makes the
implication that it was from the
Hubert flag that George Washing
ton got the idea for the banner he
had Betsy Ross make.
Hulbert's flag, says the Suffolk
County Historical society, was seen
by members Of the Continental
congress in Philadelphia in the lat
ter months of ITS.

Selling Cats Legal

Milwaukee police recently ran up
against a stone wall after they had
taken into custody some boys who
were carrying a bagful Of live cats.
The kids told the officers they had
picked up the felines all over the
city and were taking them to man
who made fur slippers They were
to get so cents apiece for the live
creatures.
But when they were brought to
headquarters. it was discovered that
there was no Wisconsin law or city
law which put ban on the gather.
ing or marketing Of stray cats. But
the police, nevertheless felt that it
was a rather inhuman business and
so something had to be done. So
they charged the youngsters with
disorderly conduct and turned the
felines over to the Wisconsin HUI
name society.
But the city won't be confronted
with such dilemma hereafter. The
head Of the humane society is busy
drawing up bill to be presented to
the next legislature banning such
business.

a campaign is to be successfully

If a campaign is to be successfully
Won.
You're promised this and promised
that;
Most everybody is all right.
Babies are kissed and made over,
And cigars are always in sight.
New promises have to be made
By those aspiring an office;
For the public wants to know,
Especially when you run more than
twice.
Colorful campaigns add flavor
To the public's thought of cleo
tons;
It seems to be necessary adjunct
To help voters in their selections.
The public is not fooled
In this respect any more,
But looks for major improvements
Or else they'll surely get sore.
Candidates are humans like we are;
We make promises that are never
kept.
So, when we feel critical and skep-
teal,
Remember, what's said isn't what's
always meant.

Listen To This
By Hobart T. Mitchell

to James C. Conkling, chairman of
committee of Lincoln's former
neighbors at Springfield, Illinois,
who invited him to return to Illi-
nois for a meeting. He did not
avail himself of the opportunity to
defend his policies in public ad-
dress but wrote the letter instead
from which the above is quoted.
A writ of habeas corpus proceed
ings: !
The petitioner, ]. D. Coles
Judge of County Court in Vir-
ginia), was arrested, and held in
custody under an Indictment found
against him in the District Court
of the United States for the West
ern District of Virginia.
The indictment alleged that he,
being judge of the County Court
of Pittsylvania County of that
state, and an officer charged by
law with the selection of jurors to
serve in said county in the year
1878, did then and there exclude
and fail to select as grand and
petit jurors certain citizens of said
county of Pittsylvania, Of African
race and black color, said citizens
possessing all the qualifications
prescribed by law, and being by
him excluded from the jury lists
made out by him as such Judge, on
account of their race, color, and
previous condition of servitude, and
for no other reason, against the
peace and dignity of the United
States in such case made and pro-
vided. ..
In 1860 there were 487,97O free
Negroes and 1888, 100 slaves.
AS early as 1925 the West India
Company imported Negro slaves
among the quiet burghers of New
Amsterdam New York;.
The city itself owned shares in a
slave ship, advanced money for its
outfit, and participated in the prof
its. The slaves were sold at public
auction to the highest bidder, and
the average price about s140.
Peter Stuyvesant (Governor)
was Instructed to use every exer-
ton to promote the sale of slaves.
"That New York was not a slave
state like some southern states was
due to the climate and not to SUI
