Righteous Causes.
Mr. Klntik, n prominent and wealthy
mini, once took n foolish notion that
he wanted to bo rid of his wife. After
a long, hard-fought legal buttle, single*
handed, except for the alight help thut
money and u battery of lawyers can
give, he finally succeeded In obtaining
a divorce. He wouldn't even need to
pay alimony so great waa hts victory.
Ah a Yeprlaal the eg- wife b thought
salt agalnat the man for $1,000,000.
Before her case caine tip one of hef
lawyers remarked that because of the
wealth of her former husband another
legal war would result.
"Well," aald the former Mra. Blank*
"you will tmve to admit that my cause,
according to fhe tradition of our eoun*
try. la aa Just as hla. He fought for lib'
erty nnd 1 am fighting for Independ'
ence."
Lota to Say.
Three of them had been In one llt
tlo rooni for three days, an American,
a Frenchman Gjid an Italian. Came
a Bed ?roas man on the afternoon o?j
the third day.
"Is there anything I can do for
you?" he asked.
"Yes," replied the American, "you

A story of the recent attempt at a
strike In Great Britain : Coming out of
hla engineering works, tho head of a
firm saw one of his men sitting by ihe
gate outing dinner.
"Ilello, George, what are you doing

"So I am, sir," replied George, "but

(Continued from Urat page)
hav? moved troops* Into Iteuat to secur#
th*lr claims and French troops have es
tah|i?bed u neutral *one to prevent bo>"
tilitit-H botwwo tbeut.
Serbia ? Serbia'^ claim to take from
the llap?l>urg monarchy the provinces
of Bosnia and lIer*e?roviu? arc opposed
by iki oue In the Ksuteute group The
plan* for the incorporation into Jugo
slavia of the liaptAurjr ?provine* of
Croatia. a* to the coastal region
of Flume, are also considered aw sub
ject to the internal decision of the South
ern tysva.
Jugo-Hlav aud Italian aims are in
sharp conflict in the (.ettleiuent of the
Adriatic coast) problem, involving the
future o'f Flume and the Croatian sea
board along with the Islands of I)al
matia and Albania. The union of Mon
tenegro and Serbia as u part of a great*
er Jugo-Hlav State* ban been voted by
the Montenegrin Parliament but the fac
tion representing King Nicholas and his
adhereuts protests against a union which
Nball not leave to Montenegro entire loeal
self -government. There in also a con
flict between the plans of Jugo-Hlavia
statesmen and those of Cseeho-Slovakia,
who desire a wide corridor from Bohemia
to the Adriatic, to Hungary and Croatia,
to secure an outlet to the sea.
Belgium having reasserted her inde
pendence and thus emerged fr^m her old
state of neutrality, desires from ^lollaud
the left bank of the Scheldt and the pc
ntuMita of Maastricht, which protrudes
Into Belgian l/imburg. Belgium also will
assent to a plebiscite in Luxemburg to
decide whether that country wishes to>
join Belgium or France or to retain its
uutonomy.
The foregoing may be considered the
extreme claims of Belgium. They come
into conflict with Holland, which resists
any infringement of the frontiers, asked
tor by the Belgian annexationists. The
government of Holland appears willing
to revise the Scheldt navigation treaty so
that Belgium should enjoy equal right
with Holland.
Japan-^-Japan enters the peace confer
ence as Baron Mnkino, the delegate has
said, "with "no territorial ambitions in
China," and Unit as for Tsingtuu sin'
will band it back to China under the
terms of the notes exchanged between
China and Japan in "May, 1015 This
is interpreted by Japan as permitting her
to retain certain former German conces
sions on the Shantung peninsula. Japan l
Baron Makino explains, "neither intends
'nor defcircx to interfere in Kussian affairs. |
but is willing, if solicited to aid Russia !
in restoring order."
These declarations dispose of two of
the main questions in which Tapan is
interested except that she drsliys to re
tain the Southern Pacific Islands^ norti:^
of the equator which formerly belonged
to Germany. '
"China ? The Chinese delegates ask to
he guaranteed against foreign imperial
ism or aggression and desire thf gradual
abolition of "consular rights'* rind to be
allowed to impose higher duties oil ini
IMH'tations. The Chinese also a<k for the
return of Klau Chuu.
Switzerland-? Switzerland appears to
ho the only neutral State which has so
'far presented her desires to the peace con
ference. The Swiss Government has rep
resented that while Switzerland would be
glad to participate in a society of na
tions. yet. because of her mixed nation
alities, she could not do s<> if that should
mean the use of her troops in policing
the world by force, as perhans, against
Italy. France or Germany.
Switzerland 'desires an outlet to the
ea by milking the Rhine a neutral stream
This is in aceord with French desires,
since if Alsace-I/orruine becomes French
from Basle northward and independent
buffer States should be erected out of
the Palatinate and Rhenish Prussia, a*
sujTResti'd by Marshal Foeh. it would be
necessary to neutralize the Rhino. If
this wen* done it would give Switzerland
u it outlet. to the sea.
Scandinavia ? 'Die territorial aspira
tions of the three Scandinavian powers
are considered modest. Deumark wishes
tn anne^thnt part of Northern S chics
wig inhabitatcd predominantly by Danes,
hut has not asked to regab) the provinces
of Schleswig and Ilolstein, taken from
Denmark by Prussia in the war of 1864.
?>r to extend her frontiers southward to
the Kiel canal.
Norway has certain aspirations to
Spitsbergen or a part of it, but is not
pressing her claims energetically.
A strong Socialist movement in Swed
en favors the iinion with Sweden of the
Aland islands which are regarded by the
Swedes as the naval key to Stockholm.
Swedish interests in this connection are
in conflict with those of Finland. Sov
ereignty over the islands ha? belonged
to Finland since the fall of the Russian
imperial government. Nothing has been
heard since the collapse of Germany of
earlier Finnish plans to somre an outlet
by the annexatTon of parts of Russian
Carelift lying between Finland and the
Murman coast and even of adjacent Fin
tnark. which belongs to Norway. This
contention on the part of Finland led
to the landing of Allied troops at Mur
mansk to prevent the establishment of
a German submarine base In the North
ern Seas.
The delegation of the five powers who
will straighten out this plexus of rival
interests are obliged also to take into
<*<>iisideration the passionate racial claims
