A decision ought to be of Much value to married men who have their eyes on hungry telephone girls whom they would like to feed, anyway. By carrter, city, 600 ® D Japanese Envoy's Advice IBASSADOR MATSUDAIRA, Japan's new envoy to the United States, pleads with the press to help bring about a better understanding between the two countries, Nothing would do more good, he rightly observes, than newspapers publishing the honest truth about things so that the two peoples could come to know one another better. Just as he was giving us this most excellent advice, as the ironies would have it, the Diplomatic Review, an influential periodical in his own country, was busy telling the Japanese what nice people Americans are. According to that journal, we are now scheming to make a vassal of China and to annex Canada, while Britain is so afraid of American aggression that she is build- ing a great naval base at *Singapore (10,500 miles from Washington!) to pro- tect herself. In fact, says the Review, Uncle Sam is So greedy for conquest that he is courting the fate which overtook Napoleors Bona- parte and the kaiser. The Japanese ambassador, of course, is entirely right. The press should tel! the truth. But good adfice, like charity, should first make itself felt at home. Peru, or Mark 5:25 ‘EELING runs high in Peru over Presi- dent Coolidge’s award as arbiter in the 32-year-old quarrel with Chile over Tacna and Arica. Angry demonstrations have taken place in the streets of every city in the country. Our embassy in Lima has been attacked and at this writing Peruvian soldiers guard it against further assault. Somehow we find our sympathy going out to poor Peru, ever the under dog. Too weak to defend herself, she has been kicked and cuffed about since that fateful day 400 years ago when Pizarro and his little band of Spaniards sacked the empire of the Incas and set the style. Behind the present row are the fab- ulously rich nitrate beds. Together, Peru and Bolivia owned the nitrate deposits in ? ? Answers to Your Questions ? ? | | -Q Which was the most costly Wy stitutes.

In 1879 she declared war against Peru and Bolivia and by 1888 had them licked to a frazzle, In a dictated peace Chile took every- thing. The fate of Tacna and Arica, the northernmost tip of the conquered terri- | tory belonging to Peru, she magnanimous- ly left to be decided by a vote of the popu- lation 10 years from the signing of the treaty. | This plebiscite should have taken place in 1894, But Chile, fearing the result, | would not agree to any of the suggested plans for taking the vote and so, year by year and decade by decade, she has kept putting off the event. In 1922 Peru agreed to let President | Harding decide the issue. President Cool- idge inherited the job and his award has just been made. Briefly, it calls for a popular vote in Tacna and Arica to decide whether they will remain with Chile or return to Peru. The Peruvians claim that such a vote now will not do justice to Peru. They say the territory has been administered as | part of Chile 40-odd years—since 1883 | and a vote now would be almost like ask- ing Texans and Californians to decide | whether they wish to remain in the | United States or return to Mexico, So Peru is deeply hurt. She feels the American award favors “guilty” Chile and says so openly. The world is watching to see what she will do next. But what can she do? Had she been strong enough to lick Chile the issue would | have been settled years ago. As she was not, and is not, the prospect of Tacna and Arica being returned to her certainly is not bright. The real answer is more likely to be found in Mark v.:25: “For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath.” The Mellerdrammer Brothers AID Albert B. Fall, late secretary of |.— the interior, on the eve of his depart- ure from Cheyenne: “T will continue until what I consider to be the proper time that silence which I have adhered to up to the present.” That's the longest public statement Fall has made since Senator Walsh one year | ago ferreted out the truth about Teapot | Dome.

All this stuff about being able to rise joyously in the morning and go singing to yo task without a soul to hinder your movements, to eat when and where and what you will, seek solitude or the com- panionship of friends as you please, sounds very wonderful. But when !t comes to doing it for any length of time, there ins a great lack somewhere. For there is nothing In the world so satisfying as real close human companionship, the kind that you can only find with your own. We must admit that this new to freedom in a grand thing so far goen, but it never goes quite far enough. It may give you some high oldtimes, a somo thrilling moments; !t may develop you into a famous woman and permit you to live your own personal life. But never will {t give you that real heart-happinoss without which no woman's life is ever complete. No work, however Interesting, will yleld the soul satisfaction that comes from having a rough tobaccoacented coat to try on now and then, especially when it covers a heart that beats for you by a large majority. And, let scoffers say what they will, life never given you anything half so wonderful as your own bables, and not life nor death nor heaven nor hell cnn ever take them away from you. For so long as you have breath their little feet will linger beside you, and every little child you glimpse until you dle will carry for you a bit of mweet- ness left over from your own, Perhaps being an old-fashion- ed woman would not work #0 well these days, but one thing im sure; being a new-fashioned wife and mother Is the finest and happlest and best fe for any woman.
