CHINA WANTS
KIAUCHAU TO
BE RETURNED
TOKIO, Feb 16 (Correspondence
of the Associated Press).—Japan is
not obliged to return Koauchau to
China, but is willing to do so on terms
that will secure the peace of the East,
says the Chugwai Shiogyo (Journal of
Commerce). Commenting on the an
nouncement by the Chinese peace
delegates in New York that China
would insist on the restitution of Kiau
chau and the revision of commercial
treaties with Japan, the paper says
that as to the latter Japan is willing
to undertake the revision of the
present treaties but that such a step
will have no practical value unless
China takes steps to restore internal
harmony and control of the bandits.
As to Japan’s loans to China, the
Chugwai Shiogyo assured the south
China party that Japan would not
hand over the balance of 20,000,000
yen loaned for China’s participation
in the war, the object of which the
Southern Party has regarded as sus
picious. Japan’s railway loans, the
paper said, should be excepted be
cause the railways are urgently need
ed and if the loans were extended
with proper care they would not have
any political significance.
One of the claims of China at the
peace conference is the return of
Kiauchau, which was occupied by the
Germans, and, as a German colony,
was captured by Japan early in the
war. According to semi-official
Chinese sources in Pekin, pressure
was brought to bear by Japan to in
duce the Chinese government to dis
avow the action of its delegates at the
peace conference. The Chinese presi
dent was reported to have refused to
interfere with the Chinese peace dele
gation in Paris.
RUSSIANS CHEERBRITISH
WHEN FOUND FRIENDLY
EN ROUTE TO OMSK, ABOARD
BRITISH MILITARY TRAIN, Feb. 8
(by mail).—When British troops
bound for Omsk reached Manchul! on
the edge of Mongalia and Siberia, they
paraded through the iM«U of the
city, led by their band. The inhabi
tants gathered curiously on the side
walks. A tall Russian peasant turned
and asked:
“These troops—do they come as
enemies or friends of Russia?” Some
one replied: “They come as the
friends and deliverers of Russia.”
The word passed along and soon a
cheer went up for the British soldiers.
AMERICANS IN GERMANY
HAVE PLENTY OF BOOKS
WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY OP
OCCUPATION, Peb. 10 (by mail).—
Fifty thousand books, consisting of
works of history, science, reference,
fiction and others, have been brought
into the occupied zone recently for
the American soldiers holding the
Coblenz bridgehead and the area on
the left bank of the Rhine.
Two distributing stations have been
opened at Trier and Coblenz, where
soldiers may borrow books by merely
signing their name, company and regi
ment. In addition books are distrib
uted to the troops in the smaller
towns and the hospitals through the
several welfare organizations.
Distribution of books is in charge of
Judson T. Jennings of Seattle, Wash.,
for the library war service of the
American Library Association. In
the first four days the library was
opened in Coblenz more than two
thousand books were taken out by
soldiers doing garrison duty in the
city and vicinity.

MEXICAN PRESIDENCY
FIGHT WARMING UP
MEXICO CITY, March 11—Candi
dates for election to the presidency
of Mexico are organizing and prepar
ing for their campaigns, despite a =
proclamation by President Carranza
urging that such action be postponed
until the latter part of this year.
Only a few political papers strongly
opposed to the government question
the sincerity of President Carranza’s
declaration that he has no intention
of attempting to evade the constitu
tional provision prohibiting one man
from twice serving as president by
seeking his own re-election.
The most prominently mentioned as
probable candidates for the presidency
in 1920 are General Pablo Gonzales,
General Salvador Alvarado, General
Alvaro Obregon and Attorney Aguirre =
Berlanga, now secretary of the in
terior.
General Alvarado was founder of
the Hennequen regulation commission
of Yucatan. He is reported to have
begun negotiations for the purchase
of a newspaper in the capital to sup
port his candidacy. It is expected that
General Obregon will receive the sup
port of one of the Mexico City papers
now owned by a group of National Lib
eral party leaders.

Breaks His Parole, Fights and Wins a Full Pardon |
DENVER.—Long before the United States declared war on Germany, clrcn- ft
lars offering .$50 reward for the arrest, detention and return of Warren ft
Huzlett to the warden of the Colorado state penitentiary were scattered ft
uni UllUU^UWUl llic UUilCU .J
States. ^
A few months prior to this time g
he had been paroled from the penlten- %
tlary. Within a short while he failed §
to make his regular report and left ij
the community to which he had been jjj
sent. Warren Hazlett, as a convict, jS
dropped from sight. g
The first word of him came to the |
state pardon board in the form of a |
letter, dirty and tear-stained. It had •:
been forwarded to the board by his *
mother, und it told its own simple and effective story:
“Somewhere In France.—I have been In France now for more than a year.
I have been through hell day and night. I have met the Hun, like those
hnndreds of thousands of other brave Yanks. I have seen their treachery
and have fallen as one of their victims. I have been burned and blinded by
their poison gas, and I have been hit by their bullets. I am recuperating In
a base hospital back of the lines. We’ve got the Huns licked.
“Mother, I broke my parole and ran away to Kansas. There I was when
Uncle Sam declared his fight to a finish against the Hun. My patriotic spirit
gripped me and I enlisted under an assumed name. I have done my bit and
now, mother, won’t you please see the pardon board and see If you can’t get
me a pardon?”
The board brought the matter to the attention of Governor Gunter, chair
man of the board, and he Immediately granted the boy an absolute pardon.
Hot School Lunch of Vital Importance
to Winter Diet of Children
| By MIRIAM M. HAYNES. Colorado Ayiegkml Colby. Fort Coffin*
We wish to bring to the attention of the rural school boards, teach
ers and patrons the importance of the hot lunch, or the addition of some
thing hot, such as cocoa, soup, etc., to the'printer diet of the school child.
The provision of the right kind of lunch for the school child is of
double importance this year. The need of using substitutes for accustomed
foods, coupled with high prices has meant malnutrition among many more
children than in previous years.
The school lunch affects vitally, not only the physical and mental
growth of the child but the social and temperamental development. Where
school children are poorly nourished they do not profit by their school work.
If you have a county home demonstration agent in your county, get
her to help you work out definite plans for starting a hot school lunch. Sim
ple, inexpensive equipment may be used to start the work. It would be a
splendid piece of work for a rural dub, church, organisation or any group
women to undertake.
