JAPS ARE EXCLUDED.
GOVERNMENT RULE THAT BARS
THEM FROM THE NAVY.

A Number Of Them Were on Board the
Bssslsship Msine--Thsy Pick Up Meet
valuable Naval Information-Itos Quick
Rise In Construction OF warships.
In view of the fact that there were
several Japanese on board the Maine
when IL was blown up 1t Ia interesting
to learn that the government has adopt
cd a method that will keep them out Of
our navy.
The Japs are the one people who in
coming to the United States with their
purposes fixed, their industry and intel
ligence. haul Goals to Newcastle, for
they out Yankee the Yankee. They
come into the den of the lions, as il
were, and take the lions meat away
with them.
These young Japs do the most mental
work for the officers Of the navy, receiy-
ing little more than bread and clothes
Yet they find time to attend day or
night schools and pick up the most val
liable naval information, which In a
few years will be at the disposal OF the
Japanese government.
Yet that government may want in
demnity for her subjects killed on the
Maine.
There are many illustrations to show
the quickness and great intelligence OF
these Japs, but | take the latest that
has come under my observation as an
example.
Ito" they called him at the Brook
Ign navy yard, was just feet inches
tall (and that plays part in this story.
He cooked for one of the officers station
ed on the receiving ship Vermont. He
went to school at night in Brooklyn,
but most of all he studied the construc-
tion of warships and absorbed all the
naval information possible.
He wrote to the Cramps in Philadel-
phia, making some valuable suggestions
which SO impressed the great shipbuild-
ers that they gave him place on a
small salary. He was not long in rising
to the responsible place of instructor, -
SO called, in the Cramps yard.
But now Ito, SO his brother Japs at
tut ydIu las DCOh hOiAiS
by his government to superintend the
construction of warships for Japan.
All these humble appearing Japs that
we see about the ships and the yards are
students. Nothing interferes with their
purpose-their life's work.
They serve in our navy in insignifi-
cant capacities that they may serve
their own nation in great ones.
When some of them were killed on
the Maine, valuable men and useful in
formation which were to have been
used for Japan's benefit were destroyed.
Is it any wonder that Japan wants an
indemnity?
twill be about her last chance to get
either indemnity or information by way
of our navy. The government has passed
rule that men admitted to the navy
must be more than feet inches tall
Navy officers say that will exclude th'
Japs.-Cecil Hastings in New Yorl
