ROOT FINDS NO "YELLOW PERIL" JAPRELATIONS Peace Advocate Says Difficulties Will Dissolve Presently. The Japanese question, which has long been the question for discussion by American diplomats and others, Is not regarded as serious by Dr. Robert C. Root, peace advocate, who is also a student of Japanese affairs. Dr. Root, who is conducting peace classes in connection with the Indiana Yearly Meeting of Friends, in session this week at the East Main Street Friends' church, is director of peace of the Pacific coast of the American Peace Society. The alleged enmity between the United States and Japan, which started with the employing of Japanese laborers, is clearing up, he says, with the co-operation of labor leaders in Japan with labor leaders in the United States. Americans to Blame. The attitude of the American toward the Japanese has had much to do with the breeding of enmity between the nations he says. Dr. Root again urged Quakers to do as much as they could for the success of the United States in the war, without active participation however. He urged the Friends to prepare themselves for working for universal disarmament of nations after the present war. 'There can be no lasting peace with nations preparing for war," he said.

"Many of us have, suffered and we all feel the growing strain and anxiety," the report says. "Your own great nation has been drawn into the conflict. We have admired the strenuDr. Woodrow Wilson to maintain peace. "The Impressive words and lofty ideals expressed in the presidential address to the people of the United States will, we believe, live in history ns an inspiration to future generations

to rise to a higher plane of national and International relationship through

out the world. Loyalty Question Up "Our thoughts go out to you in prayerful sympathy for the difficult position in which you may be placed. The subject of 16yalty to our society has been forcibly bought before us. "The principles of Quakerism, rightly understood, will we feel sure, be found tp -contain the solution of many of the most pressing questions of the day. In the new world coming after the war, new needs will arise, and we will find plenty of ork for Friends to engage in." After the report was concluded Timothy Nicholson and Dr. Charles Tebbets both declared that young Friends, within conscription ages, should carefully study the report. Rev. Luke Woodard also spoke of the testimony the Irish . Quakers are showing to the Church by serving In prison before bearing arms on the Iring line. Another report was read from London in which it was stated that "We can no longer evade the questions of the day." The report told of United States flags flying on the outside of the meeting house. Sight to Thrill "It is a sight to thrill and at the same time solemnize. We hardly dare think what this may mean for ourselves and for you. Both our nations have grasped the weapons of, war. Can we use them? If not, by what other weapons shell we meet the outset of evil? We can no longer evade the issue3 at stake." We are called upon to come out into the open and relate ourselves, our beliefs, our practices even our every-day occupations to the world's needs. "The prospect in the near future of the personal help of many younger Friends from your side of the Atlantic draws us still more closely together. 'It is men and women with the minds of Christ who will bring to the world's wounds not only alleviation but healing. "The mnths that are before us are dark with clouds of uncertainey, but full also of possibility and hope. May we all be ready for the coming of our Lord and watch for his appearing."

FRENCH PREMIER REGRETS BREAK WITH RADICALS

Says Their Absence From Ministry Changes Nothing, However.

PARIS, Sept. 19. Wednesday. Pre

mier Painleve, replying today in the chamber of deputies to interpellations

by "Deputy Frederic Brunet, who asked

the Government to associate itself with President Wilson's refusal to

treat with the German people so long

as they were submissive to the military caste and advocating an institution or society of nations, said that he had made eVer effort to preserve collaboration with the socialists. "I failed and I regret it," the premier said. After paying a tribute to Albert Thomas's services, the premier said that the absence of socialist ministers would make no change in his policy. He declared his determination to proceed energetically against all Intrigues and certain foreign agents, but added that' he did not intend to allow these scandals too much publicity In the press because they were picked up abroad and weakened the country's morale. Speech Is Interrupted. This part of the premier's speech was interrupted and especially by the Left, as were his declarations that the censorship was necessary and ought to be respected. The government, he said, hoped to remain in agreement with the press by appealing to the newspapers to maintain their own discipline. ! The chamber applauded the premier's allusions to the society of nations and President Wilson's message as principles, to which France fully adhered, thereby showing her abnegation and morale grandeur. Alexandre Ribot. minister of foreign! affairs, told the chamber that all documents concerning France's agreements

with the allies were ready and could be published tomorrow, but that the entente allied nations must be consulted, saying, "the nearer we reach the end of the war the closer must be our unity with them." "War Alms" Known. M. Ribot added that France could not reply to Pope Benedict's note without an agreement with her allies but "our war aims are known and we are ready to constitute a society of nations

when we have the necessary guarantees." , Mr. Ribot said the Petrograd government had asked him to defer the publication of the Franco-Russian agreement. He said that he considered that he ought to comply owing to the difficulties of the situation of their great ally. Pierre Renaudel said that the socialists would await Premier Palnleve's acta before voting for him. He reproached the premier for forming his war committee of old men instead of young and ardent men. Confidence In the new ministry was then voted by the chamber 378 to 1. The socialists did not vote.
