Japanese VS.. American Shipping.

TO the Editor Of The Evening Star:
Mr.. Alonzo H. Stewart, in his interesting
article on Japan, recently printed in The
Star. and his interview with the head of the
Japanese Steamship Company. makes the
point that Japanese maritime interests are
displeased with the measure favorably re-
ported in our Congress. reserving to Amert-
can ships American commerce with the
Philippines.
A considerable quantity of this COM
merce Is now conveyed. by the vessels Of
the Japanese Steamship Company, and both
Mr.. Asano, president of the company, and
one or two Japanese newspapers are quoted
by Mr.. Stewart as declaring that to re-
serve this traffic to our shipowners would
be an act OF distinct unfriendlness
This is the Japanese side of the case let
us look for a moment at the American side
Unlike our American shipping companies
i'll the north Pacific. Mr. Asano's Japanese
concern Is heavily subsidized A recent re-
port to the British parliament states that
II receives about half million dollars q
year for its line between San Francisco
and Yokohama. Another japanese COM
pany receives about $4,000 year for a
service of three ships between Seattle and
Yokohama, exactly paralleiing the course
OF the new American line of the Boston
Steamship Company. Moreover, not only
every mile they run. but bOunties of so
much a ton FOR every new ship built in a
Japanese yard are also granted by the i'm
perial government.
Constructed with national assistance, Of
hcered and manned at far below American
cost, and. further, subsidized out of the i'm
perial treasury, these Japanese ships will
inevitably drive our unprotected American

wages and subsidies have already driven II

cational alliance. at East Broadway and
jefferson street
Louis Marshall, the chairman. announced
at the opening of the meeting that it was
arranged long before the present hostiiities
began and was solely for the purpose of
discussing the immigration question and
Russia's discrimination against American
citizens who happen to he Jews
Frank Moss declared Russia's contention
that she Is now the champion of the cross

ulous in view of her persecution of a people
who worship the same God that the Chris
tians worship.

ito insist that an American citizen with an
American passport be treated with respect
by Russia. no matter what his religion may
be. l have an Idea, though, that there is
method in Russia's policy of discrimina-
ton against American citizens who are
Jews. She doesn't want them within her
border for fear they may be killed or
beaten. and then Russia would have this
country to reckon with. Russa's massa-
ores of the Jews who belong in Russia are
her own affair in which other countries
have no legal right to interfere"
Chairman Marshall read a letter to the
alliance from Assistant Secretary of State
I4oomis to the effect that the United States
minister at Teheran and the United States
consul at Tangier had been instructed to
try to have all restrictions removed from
the inhabitants of Persia and Morocco who
do not happen to profess the religions of
those countries.

The Bennington basketball team was
to have played the local Y. M. c. A.
this evening but the contest was can
celled owing to the inability Of sew

The local Y. NJ. c. A. basketball team
goes to Easthampton. Mass, tomor-

team of that town. Easthampton is an
enthusiastic basketball town this sea-

a large crowd. Brattleboro defeated
this team last year when it played un-
der the name of the Easthampton Tur-

The New ENGINE Works Well.

The latest addition to the motive
power of the narrow gauge railroad was
given a trial Saturday afternoon, max
ing an extremely satisfactory showing.
The engine, which was formerly used
on the Chateaugey, N. Y, narrow
gauge road, is considerably larger than
Nos. 2. 3 and and appears to be
much more powerful 1t is of mogul
type with six driving wheels all OF
which are Hanged. On account OF the
long wheel base it was at first feared
that the engine would not be able to
make some of the curves between here
and Londonderry, but is said that there
were curves on the Chateaugey road
several degrees shorter than any on
the Brattleboro and Whitehall. Al
though the new engine is only three
years younger than the two wood burn
ers Il seems sound in every particular.
The only trouble is with the driving
wheel tires which are so badly worn
that any ice on the rails makes trac-
ton almost impossible. This fault
can be easily remedied however.
"The Five Spot" as the new ma
chine is called, made short trip to-
ward West Dummerston Saturday al
ternoon. and on Monday morning
started out with the north bound mix
ed train. At Jamaica 1t broke a fiange
on one of the tender wheels and was
delayed there until Tuesday by the
accident. It has been working well
since.
