BLDG 160 MAIN ST Kit I At No One Had Authority to Cedo the Rights of United States in Island, Government Will Not Recognize Validity of Mandate. ' The American ttnd AVu.sliington. Japanese government; have adopted equally firm Altitudes n. to the status of the Island of Yap. Diplomatic exchanges are continuing, lut those to date were made public on April 18 In Washington and Tokio. They consist f two memoranda uud three formal notes. Japan In Its last communication, received late in the Wilson administration, Insisted it had been awarded a mandate for the island ly the supreme council, May 7, 1919, mid that It could not agree with the American contention that, Irrespective of any award of mandate, other nations should have free access to the Island for cables. In replying. Secretary Hughes on April 5 stated that the United States could not be hound by action either of the supreme council or of the league of nations, and that, as no one had been "authorized to surrender or cede" the right of the United States In the island, the American government could not recognize the allocation of the Island or the validity of the mandate. Japan Is now considering this communication. Great Britain, France and Italy also have before them similar notes. Exchanges between the four governments are understood to be under way with a view to reaching an accord. Meantime, however, France, in a preliminary reply, stated that the matter Is one for the supreme counell to consider in May and that w"hen It comes up she will approach It with a view to finding a solution giving every satisfaction to the United States. The viewpoint of the Harding administration, as explained Monday, Is that the question of whether the supreme council did actually award the island to Japan on May 7 is of secondary Importance. The important point at issue, It is h$ emphasized, is recognition by allied governments of the principle laid down by Mr. Hughes that the United States, as a principal allied and associated power, has an equal right in the former German colonies, and that those rights cannot be disposed of without consent of the American government. RAILROADS TO SLASH PAYROLL8 Seek Reversal of Decision in Which Wage Increase Was Granted. Chicago. Ninety-thre- e railroads on April 18 begun a drive before the United States railway labor board for the setting aside of decision No. 2, of July 20, 1920, under which the last increases in railroad wages were granted. They also seek abrogation of tha United States railroad administration's ruling which classifies labor and fixes differentials. Although the majority of the roads are asking for only authority to reduce the wages of common labor, clerks and shop employees, all ask that the decision In questiou be set nslde, and nine seek authority to reduce wages, from engineer to crossing flagmen. Of these, four are trunk lines the Chicago & Alton, Italtlmore Ohio, Pere Marquette and Erie. NO REDUCTION OF ARMAMENTS Steps in That Direction Await Declaration of Peace. President Harding Washington. contemplates no steps toward an international disarmament agreement until a technical state of peace has been established, according to members of the women's committee for world disarmament, who discussed the subject with hlni on Monday. The first deputation to wait on the president was from Hie League of Women Voters, and included many prominent women representing other women's organizations. They presented a resolution urging the president and congress to do their 'utmost to oecure with ottier governments for the reduction of armaments at the earliest possible time." Later In the day the women's committee for world disarmament presented a petition for an International disarmament conference. Monster Searchlight for Tamalpaie. Schenectady, N. Y.

Hi., calls up a chapter in his life that no man can read without smiles and tears and wonder. For New Salem was Abraham Lincoln's town during the six years which marked the first stage of his development from "a quaint knight-erraof the pioneers" to "a masterpiece of God." He arrived at New Salem in 1831 "a stranger, friendless, uneducated, penniless boy, working on a flatboat for $10 a month," as he himself put it. In 1837 he left New Salem to take up his law practice in Springfield. In those momentous six years he had trans formed himself from an ignorant and uncouth to a man of acknowledged youth of twenty-twpromise and ability, with more than a local popularity and an ambition that spurred him to travel O White Leghorn baby chicks from guaranteed stock.

A long delay broke off the engagement and Lincoln then won Ann. McNarner returned to find Ann dead of fever. Town Gets a Postoffice. "On Christmas day In 1829," the historian goes on to say, "a post office was established in New Salem and Samuel Hill was made postmaster. George Warburton then built a store building and put In a stock of goods, but soon sold out to the Chrlsman Brothers, one of whom, Isaac P.. became postmaster on November 24, 1831.

Then came Doctor Allen, who erected a dwelling across the street south from the Hill 4 McNeill store. "In addition to his professional duties Doctor He was an Allen conducted a Sunday school. ardent temperance man and formed the first temof perance society In the community. The place school-housmeeting was In his residence or In the log erected shortly before this time on the hillside south of New Salem. Doctor Allen was bothered as to whether It was right or wrong to In the practice of his profession on Sundays and compromised the matter by relieving the sick hut giving his earnings on that day wholly to the work of the Lord. "Then, during the summer of 1830, Henry Onstott moved from Sugar Grove, erected a dwelling and established a cooper's shop, supplying the kegs and barrels for the flour and meal made at the mill, and the containers for the cured pork shipped by flatboat to the markets of the South, generally from Beardstown, to which place It was hauled in wagons.

Then came a rush of other settlers Philemon Morris, a tanner, erected a dwelling and established a tan yard; Joshua Miller, a blacksmith and wagon maker, built a residence and established a shop; Alexander Furgeson and Peter Luklna, the shoe-- ' makers; Robert Johnson, the wheelwright, who made loom, spinning wheel and furniture; Martin Wndilell. the hatter, who made hats out of rabbit fnr, wool and the fur of other animals; the Rale family, headed hf Jacob Itnle, who bought Hill's carding tnaehine and and for wool ; the llerndou Brother, liopkeei-ers- , who established a store west of the James Rutledge residence and Inn, and In a part of the house of Joshua Miller, which was double, lived his brother-in-law- .

Cameron and Ms uncle, James Ilutledge, who entered their claims on July 20, ifCS. Hera they erected their grist and saw mills, both housed in one structure built out Into the Sangamon river, that fringed the town site. New Salem grew up round this mill. Settlments existed already st Clary's Grove, at r plate now called Athens, at Sngnr Grove and at Indian Point, nil within ten or twelve miles of New Salem. With a mill to attract these settler, the opportunity fur businc at the new settlement TS bxxry gt?ocry' ojtjles was good, and Samuel Hill and John McNeill presently erected a store building of lgs. They sold tea, coffee, sugar, salt and whisky in the grocery Hue, and blue calico, brown muslin, cotton chain and straw hats, with 'a few ladles' hats and other ornamental feminine apparel in their dry goods o Those six years were crowded years. It was at New Salem that Lincoln earned his nickname of "Honest Abe" and Incidentally fastened upon himself a burden of debt which he was never able fully to wipe out until his fortieth year, after his election to congress In 1840. It wns at New Salem that he was clerk and storekeeper; that he studied grammar and Black-stonthat he was a captain In the Black Hawk war, that he was deputy surveyor, that he was postmaster, that he was defeated and then elected for the legislature. And It was at New Salem that he loved and wooed and lost Ann Rut ledge, over whose death he nearly lost his reason from grief. New Salem was rounded In 1828. Soon after Lincoln went to Springfield the little town began to decline. Its people left for more accessible places. By 1845 New Salem had been abandoned. Today, under the auspices of the Old Salem Lincoln League, an organization formed In 1017, "Honest Abe's" town is being restored In fafr Iniile.

As to the photographs here reproduced: The portrait of "Honest Abe" Is one of the earliest photographs he had taken and gives the best Idea of his appearance as a young man. The nnmbe rVd plan Is from the architect's working model. New Salem, first called Cameron's Mill, was on the Sangamon river (then spelled Sangumo and pronounced Sangamaw), 20 miles northwest of Spiir.gfleld. In those days New Salem was In Sangamon county, with Springfield as the county seat. Springfield Itself was still a mere village, having a population of 1,000, or perhaps 1,100. The capital of the state was yet at Vamlalln. and waiting for the parliamentary tact of Abraham Lincoln and the "long nine" to take It to Spring- to- SHAY'S CAFETERIA The historian that the first settlers of ' c RUBBER HOSPITAL.

Lincoln first saw, New Salem In April, 1831, when he and his flatboat crew had their famous adventure on the mllldam. He was on his way from Beardstown to New Orleans, where lie saw the selling of slaves and said, "If ever I get a chance to hit that thing, I'll hit it hard." July 1, J831, Lincoln walked into New Salem to serve as clerk In the Offut store, when it should be ready. The town election at that time was held during the first week in August, and Lincoln, being about the polling place, was asked by Mentor Graham, the man who later became his friend and teacher, if he could write. Lincoln replied, "1 can make a few rabbit tracks," whereupon be was Invited In to assist In keeping tally, the regular clerk having failed to npar. It Is said that during the lull In voting Lincoln Improved the opportunity to tell stories. So here was Lincoln's Introduction to politics. But he was a finished story-telle- r even then. "Tom" Reed of Maine, the famous speaker of I he house of representatives, once said, "A statesman Is a successful polltlcan who Is dead." The humor and sarcasm of this are exceeded only by Its value as a popular gauge of politics and politicians. But where Abraham Lincoln is concerned all signs fall. He was a consummate politician alt his life, and he never hesitated to seek public preferment. Lincoln's First Campaign. After "Honest Abe" hnd been In New Salem a year or so he ran for the state legislature. He had already learned to write, as Is showu by his announcement of his candidacy, which concludes thus: "Every man Is said to have his peculiar ambition. Whether It be true or not, I can say. for one. that 1 have no other so great as that of being truly esteemed of my fellowmen by rendering myself worthy of their esteem. How far I shnll succeed In gratifying this ambition Is yet to be developed. 1 am young and unknown to many of you. I "ns liorri and have ever remained In the mot humble walks of life. I have no wealth or lopu'nr relation or friends to recommend me.

Well, Lincoln wss beaten by Peter Cnrtwrlght, the Itinerant preacher whom tie defeated for congress. But New Salem went for "Hones' Abe" with 277 votes out of the IBM cast. And twt years Inter he was triumphantly elected. NolxMly ever saw any difference between the Abraham Lincoln of New Salem and the Abraham Lincoln of the White House, He never chnngeil. Moreover, there wns something In his lowly origin and In thp story of bis life that brought him elow to the people as one of them. And In the developinei t of the limn there I no more fau'lnst-U.chapter than New Salem. lS.'!l-37coniM-nna'e- g . The. Baby Fox weigh 8 lbs. All mkcs rented ai Hi sold. I tnh, At V.
