PHYSIOLOGY TAUGHT CHINESE MOTHERS THROUGH INTERPRETER

Home nursing and primary physio logy is now being taught with much success to Chinese. Polish and Italian mothers through the medium of an nterprefer at the New York Chapter of the American Red Cross. The teaching center has conducted classes in first uld, homo nursing and food selection for ee many ns a thousand foreign born and uring the past year, although many of the women could hardly speak oi understand English. Through the interpisler they quickly learned the best m ethods for caring for their xamllles. This picture, taken when home nursing was being taught to the Chinese Ladies' Club, shows little Charlotte Louise bel ng weighed. The louder she protested the farther went the Indicator.

4-POWER PACT IS ANNOUNCED (Continued From Page One.) proving what has been accomplished in the various subcommittees dealing with these problems. OFFICIAL STAMP OF APPROVAL ON 3 POINTS. The official stamp of conference approval was placed on: 1. The four Hoot proposals, pledging the powers to respect the territorial integrity of China and the “open door’’ policy. 2. The apolntment of a commission to examine Into China's judicial and court system, with the object in view of abolishing xtraterritoriality in China, under which foreign powers have maintained their own courts and judges. 3. The decision hy the powers to protect the neutrality of China In future wars to which she is not a party. Secretary of State Hughes opened the historic session with an announcement that “satisfactory progress" is being made in the adjustment of Chinese problems. “I have the honor to report to the con ference that most satisfactory progress has been made in the work of the committee appointed to deal with Pacific and Far Eastern questions,” he said. “That committee, in accordance with the proceedure recommended by the standing committee on program and proceedure, at first permitted a general discussion of the questions before the committee and then proceeded to take up the topics specially indicated under the h'-ad of Pacific and Far Eastern questions in the tentative agenda proposed by the American Government. CHINA FIRST TOriC TAKEN I P. "The first suhjeet considered was China. In the coursecf the general discussion most important declarations were made on behalf of the powers represented, expressing their intention to respect the sovereignty, independence and administrative integrity of China and also to observe as among themselves the principle of fair and equal opportunity. "It seems to the committee advisable that before proceeding to a consideration of particular matters indicated by the agenda to which I have referred, this general statement of intention, that is, the sense of the committee, with respect to the matters which had been discussed, should be formulated in a definite statement of principle. “Accordingly, at the request of the committee, Mr. Root prepared a statement of these principles and the committee in a resolution adopted them, recommending a statement for formal adoption by the conference. “There was a general discussion in the committee, and as all the delegates to the conference are members of that committee, I assume that it is not desired that there should be a general discussion. But it is important, I take it, that at this opportunity, the first one that has been presented since the action or the committee, the recommendation of the committee should be acted upon by this conferee -e. BEADS FAR EAST RESOLUTION. “The resolution adopted by the committee and recommended, as I have said, id this; “ 'lt is the firm intention of the powers attending this conference as hereinafter mentioned, towit. the United States of America, Belgium, the British empire, France, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands and Portugal: “ *l. To respect the sovereignty, the independence and the territorial and administrative integrity of China. “ '2. To provide the fullest and most unembarrassed opportunity to China to develop and maintain for herself an effective and stable government. “ ‘3. To use their influence for the purpose of effectively establishing and maintaining the principle of equal opportunity for the commerce and industry of all nations, throughout the territory of China; and “ ‘4. To refrain from taking advantage of the present condition in order to seek special rights or privileges which would abridge the rights of the subjects or citizens of friendly states and from countenancing action inimical to the security of certain states.’ “It is hardly necessary to point out the great importance of this declaration. It is in truth a charter containing an assurance to China of protection from acts of derogation of her sovereignty and independence and administrative autonomy, and also an assurance as that between the powers there will be a careful observance of the principle of free and equal opportunity in matters relating to China and no one will seek special advantages or privileges at the expense of the rights of others. FORMAL ASSENT ONLY NECESSARY. “As I hrve said, this ha* been so fully discussed by the delegates that I assume all that Is necessary is to have your formal assent recorded here, and while this declaration is a declaration of the powers other than China, I think it will tie quite appropriate to invite China's assent as well, I shall ask for tJm assent J to this resolution.^ ' . cu. i, r the assent of the Nfiwers

big-hearted people of Indianapolis whose sympathies, ns expressed by their pledges, go out to the less foruuate or our neighbors. “The test of citizenship is nelghborllness.

The report of the financial status of the Community Chest from Nov. 29. 1920. to Nov. 31), 11*21, shows that the chest received a total of $354,190.27 In cash subscription and that It paid out for philanthropise enterprlzes a total ot $317,385.25.

The report, which was certified by George S. Olive, a member of the American Institute of Accountants, is as follows :

translated into French vhat Hughes had said. When the interpreter concluded, Hughes renewed his suggestion and approval of the full conference was placed on the extraterritorial gnmmission. “The discuss! -n with regard to China is still In progress in the committee," Hughes said, "and I may express the

hope that the discussion may lend to an agreement which will deal generally with tho problems affecting China, especially with regard to h.-r territorial status " Mr. Hughes then read the resolution adopted by the Far Eastern committee guaranteeing the neutrality of China dur- | ing wars to which she was not a party. He asked approval of the conference of ! the resolution and it was unanimously , given. The conference then approved the reso- | Union of the Far East committee by ' which tho powers agreed to make no secret agreements infringing upon the rights of China and undertook not to attempt to extend their spheres of intiueuce in China. LODGE MAKES TALK FOLI.OU ING DISCUSSION. Lodge's speech came at the conclusion of the Chin' s> discussion, j When he had finished there was a ions • pause while it was being translated into French, and then Vlviani took the floor for France, picturesque, dramatic and forceful. a Vlviani announced at the outset of his address the acceptance i,y she French i government of the proposed treaty. He contended that the treaty would have a "great moral value" In helping to preserve the peace of the world. Senator Lodges speech, made at the opening of the conference., follows: j “I should be insensible. Indeed, If I i did not feel deeply gratified by the op portunlty which has come to me to lay before the conference the draft of a treaty, the terms of which have been agreed upon by four of the great powers of the earth in regard to the islands of the Baciflc which they control, either as possessions or dominions. I will begin by rending to the conference the treaty which Is both brief and simple, and yet f am sure Is full of meaning and im- J portnnee to the world's peace. Here he read the draft of tb treaty.* “The signing of this treaty is, on the part of the United States, subject to (he making of a convention with Japan concerning the status of the Island or lap and what are termed the mandated ' Islands in the Pacific Ocean north of the equator, the negotiations in regard to which are almost concluded, and also o the reservations with respect to what t are termed the mandated islands in the I Paclkc Ocean south of the equator. DOES NOT TOUCH ON DOMESTIC ISSUES. "It should also lie observed that the 1 controversies to which the proposed treaty refers do not embrace questions i which, according to principles of inter- , national law, lie exclusively within the domestic jurisdiction of the respective powers. I “The conference will perceive that I spoke correctly when I referred to the terms of the treaty as simple. To put It in a few words, the treaty provides that the four signatory powers will agree as between themselves to respect their lnsurlnr possessions and dominions in the region of the Pacific and that if any controversy should arise as to such rights, all the high contracting parties shall be Invited to a Joint conference looking to the adjustment of such controversy. They agree to take similar action in the case of aggression by any other power upon these insular posses- - sions or dominions. The agreement is to remain In force for ten years and after ratification under the constitutional methods of the high contracting, the existing agreement between Great Britain and Japan which was concluded at London on July 13, 1911, shall terminate. And that is all. Each signer is bound to respect the rights of the others and before taking action in any controversy to consuit with them. There is no provision for the use of force to carry out any of j the terms of the agreement, and no mill- j tary or naval sanction lurks anywhere ; In the background or under cover of these plain and direct clauses. BEST PRETENTION REMOVAL OF CAUSE. “The surest way to prevent, war is to j remove the causes of war. This is an j attempt to remove causes of war over a great, area of the globe’s surface by reliance upon the good faith and honest intentions of the nations which sign the treaty, solving all differences through the Jrocesses of diplomacy and Joint consideration and conciliation. No doubt we shall hear it said that the region to which this agreement applies Is one most I unlikely to give birth to serious disputes j and therefore an agreement of this char- I acter is of little consequence.

LIKE BANDS OF IRON ALL ABOUT HER HEAD

This Is How Miss Woodford, Os Lynchburg, Va., Declares Her Headaches Often Affected Her. Everybody will read with interest the statement of Miss M. E. Woodford, 1808 Fillmore street, Lynchburg, Va., who says: “I don't believe anybody ever suffered from headaches like I did. The pains

unhappily has shown that there is no corner of the earth so remote or so valueless that it is not capable of giving cause for controversy or even for war between the tribes and the nations of mankind. But the islands of the Pacific, although remote from the dwelling places of the mass of humanity, are far from valueless. ISLANDS OF PACIFIC VIRTUALLY UNCOUNTED. The islands of tha southwestern Pacific extend over a \ t space in that great ocean. They reach from the Marquesas on the east to the Philippines on the west; from tho Alutian Islands on the north nearly to the Antarctic circle on the south. They are far more numerous than is generally realized. 1 don’t know what the total number is, but I am informed as to the Philippines, and it appears that this group alone contains more than 3.100 islands, of which 1,600 have names. We have all probably heard of the remark of Robert Louis Stevenson, when on leaving one of the Pacific islands, he was asked how he was going to Samoa. He replied that he would go out and turn to the left. These Islands are, comparatively speaking, so dense that we might describe them in the words of Browning, as the “ ‘Sprinkled isles Lily on lily that o'orlace the sea.’ “And yet the region through which they are scattered is so vast that the isles of Greece and the Aegean Sea, so famous in history and in poetry, could easily he lost therein sad continue unnoticed except by wandering seamen or stray adventurers. They range from Australia, continental in magnitude, to Atolls, where there are no dwellers but the builders of the coral reefs or lonely rocks marking the peaits of mountains which rise from the ocean’s floor through miles of water before they touch the air. "To the Western and Eastern world alike, most of the islands of the Southwestern Pacific, are little known. There still lingers about them the charm so compelling and so fascinating which an undiscovered country has for the sons of men who arc weary of main travelled roads and the trampled highways of trade and commerce which cover the surface of the patient earth. STILL SURROUNDED BY GLAMOR OF ROMANCE. “Upon these islands still shines the glamor of romance in the stories of Melville and the writings of Robert I.ouis Stevenson, to whom the South Seas gave both a grave and a monument imperishable as his own fame. But the Pacific islands are much more than this. They possess certain qualities other than natural beauty and romantic charm, which to many minds are more enticing. The larger ones are rich In many ways, fertile in the gifts of soil and climate and in other forms of riches desired by men, which extend from the untold mineral resources of Australia to the pearls which are brought from the depths of the ocean. There are among them al! grout areas of forest and of plain fit for the support and prosperity of civilized man. In a word, they have a very great materinl value, largely undeveloped, and where this condition exists the desires of men will enter and conflicting human desires have throughout recorded history been breeders of war 1 “Thus far the wastes of the Pacific ocean with all the crowding Islands, except on the edges of the continents, have not been the scone of great wars; and yet not many years hnve passed since three great nations sent their warships to Samoa because there was a dispute in regard to those distant tslauds. Therefore. an agreement among the nations controlling these islands has a very serious Importance to the peace of the world. We make the experiment here in this treaty of trying to assure peace in that Immense region by trusting the preservation o fits tranquility to the good faith of the nations responsible for it. The world has just passed through a war, the very memory of which makes us shudder. Wo all believe deep in our hearts that this hideous destruction of life, this suffering and ruin which still beset us, must not be permitted to come .again if we can prevent it. TREATY CAN'T STAY WAR-SEEKING PEOPLE. “If the nations of the earth are still in the Innermost recesses of their consciousness planning or dreaming of coming Wars and longing for conquests, no treaties of partition and no alliances '■an stay them; but If. as I firmly hope, the world has learned a frightful lesson from the awful experiences of the great •ear of 1914, then our surest appeal In order to prevent wars in the future must h" to the hearts, the sympathies, the reason, and the higher impulses of mankind. Such an appeal we make today by this agreement among four great nations. We rely upon their good faith to carry out the terms of this Instrument, knowing that by so doing they will prevent war, should controversies ever arise among them, if this spirit prevails and rules, we can have no better support than the faith of nations. For one, I devoutly believe the spirit of the world is such that we can trust to the good faith ami the high purposes which the treaty I have laid before you embodies and enshrines. "Agreements of this kind, I know, have often been made before, only to fall. But there has been a far-reaching change in the mental condition of men and women everywhere. That which really counts is the intention of the nations who make the agreement. In this hour of trial and darkness which has followed the war with Germany, the spirit of the world is no longer upon the will and honor of those who sign it, we at least make the great experiment and appeal to the men and women of the nations so help us sustain it in spirit and in truth.”

County Officials to Assist Prohi Agents Cooperation of local officials in about twenty counties handled by tlie prohibition enforcement agents headed by Will Hays of Clinton, group chief with headquarters at Clinton, has been obtained, according to a statement made today by Bert Morgan, Federal prohibition director for Indiana. Mr. Morgan said that he has Just returned from a trip through western Indiana and that he has found everything In excellent shape. The local officials rre working in harmony with Mr. Hays in that territory and the work Is progressing better than at any time in the past, he said. PLAN MEXICAN HOSPITAL. MEXICO CITY, Mexico, Dec. 10.—American Masons have become interested in the openiug here of a hospital for crippled children, and it is probable that a structure costing about $200,000 will be erected.

STATE WITNESS IN MARION CASE NOT IN COURT Van Nuys Intimates Defendant Instrumental in Disappearance. Intimations that William Dugan, Marion druggist and defendant in a liquor law case which was set for trial in Federal Court today, has been instrumental In the disappearance of James Lee, a material witness in the case, was contained in a statement made before Judge Albert B. Anderson today by Frederick Van Nuys, United States district attorney. SAYS DUGAN CANNOT CHECKMATE ACTION. "One very material witness for the Government cannot be found,” Mr. Van Nuys said. "I have asked William J. Burns, chief of the United States secret service, to produce him and I know the witness will be found. Agents of the bureau of Investigation of the Department of Justice have been following this man. James Lee, aid on several occassions almost have suet ceded in getting service on him, but he always has eluded them. I speak advise’y in saying that this is not the first time this defendant Dugan has been charged with running off with witnesses. It i . not proposed that Mr. Dugan can checkmate this prosecution iu this court by such methods.” In speaking of former occasions on which Dugan’s name had been mentioned in connection with the disappearance of witnesses the District Attorney undoubtedly had in mind the famous automobile conspiracy theft eases at Marion several year ago. Dugan was one of a large number of defendants indicted, but the cases never came to trial because of the fact that ft number of material witnesses for the State disappeared. CASE CONTINUED INDEFINITELY’. Judge Anderson continued the case indefinitely at the request of Mr. Van Nuys to give the secret service bureau of investigation agents time to find Lee. With Dugan were indicted Louis Irey tnd Henry Lewis, both of Dora, Wabash County; John H. Brady of Muncle and James Leo, on charges of manufacturing liquor and of conspiracy. The still, a large affair, was operated by Irey and Lewis at Dora. Lewis is now a fugitive from justice and Brady is serving a term for larceny at the State prison. When the case was called today, Irey who is a criple. was brought into court in a wheel-chair and entered a plea of guilty. He already had been fined in the State courts for the same offense.

62 COUNTIES FINISH TASKS Oliver Announces Progress of Historical Work. Sixty-two county histories of the World War have been completed, according to a report made to the third annual conference of the Indiana historical commission in session at the Claypool Hotel today. Thirty counties have not yet completed their histories, according to John W. Oliver, director of the Indiana historical commission. Col. Robert L. Moorhead, Indianapolis, declared in addressing the meeting, there is the need of a monument to honor the heroes of the war who failed to return. Many counties have not started to prepare tiieir histories and several are being written by the State commission, Mr. Oliver said. Failure of the Legislature to appropriate funds with which to erect a Centennial Memorial butlding was criticized by Miss Lucy M. Elliot, assistant director of the Indiana historical commission, iu an address before the j conference yesterday. Citizens of Indiana are indebted to i Jonathan Jennings, Indiana's first Gov- ! ernor, for his early efforts in making the people of the State anti-slavery in their sympathies, former Governor Samuel M. Ralston said.
