largest Japanese firm in the province, has
the matter in hand, and is arranging it

men can be obtained in British Columbia

Many of the Japanese fishermen have
served in the army in their native land,
and from the record in the war with Chi
ma, they make capital fighters. The pro-
posal includes that they shall be thor
oughly equipped and all their expenses
paid. The fact that the city council of
Vancouver is applying for an amendment
to its charter, to provide for the en-
reimbursement of Japanese in municipal
elections, may have something to do with
the loyalty shown in the present offer.
