Yap Cable Fight j
, Still Unsettled
(Controversy Between America
and Japan Over Pacific
Island Up to New Administration.
Hy 1 tie Associated JPrera. -Washington.
March 11. Piplotnat-
rxchanges between the Americail
and Japanese governments concern
ing flie status of the Pacific cable
ser.ter of Yap have left the situation
unchanged and it remains for the
Harding administration to dictate the
next step. '
Japan's reply to the protest against
Japanese control of the island sent
by the Wilson administration is un
derstood to have contiincd a reit
eration of the Japanese claim to
exclusive jurisdiction by reason of
the mandate awarded by the supreme
council.
As to Japanese control of the for
mer German cables centering in the
island, against which the American
government particularly protested,'
Japan is said to adhere to the prin
ciple of fiee use of the cables by
all persons, but with operation and
control remaining under Japanese
power.
Meanwhile it is .-uggested, .that
since the league of nations council
has referred the American protest
addressed to it to the. allied nations,
a reply may come from them which
may contain a basis for adjustment.

hanging the decorations were ready
to leave the stage, more than half
of the heavy decorations crashed to
the stage below, the fall breaking
hundreds of electric light bulbs.
Notwithstand the confusion caused
by the accident and the arrival of
exhibits for the automobile show,
Dr. Hall made a short talk to the
teachers in which he advocated that
"the sacred truths of life and what
would confront boys and girls as
they grew older, he taught in the
homes and schools."
"Teaching of these truths should
be started at the mother's knee and
continued throughout school life.
Boys and girls are not told these
truths and they learn them improp
erly," Dr. Hall said.
Dr. Hall has been a faculty mem
ber in various large medical schools
for many vears. For the nast two
