thusiastic eagerness every press dispatch
that brings news OF the movements of
their country against the Russians. They
are now organized into a club OF 10 men,
bers, holding weekly meetings to discuss
the all-absorbing topic and give vent TO
their ardent patriotism in true Japanese
style Those wide-awake Japs have kept
IN touch for months with the marvelously
swift progress Japan has made in Its pre-
paration for this war, which many or
them foresaw long ago was inevitable.
They are familiar with important incl
dents connected with its development that
throw interesting light on the present
conditions there. IL is, therefore, par
ticularly instructive in view Of It's promi-
nent place in everyones thought just now,
10 hear a real Jap talk about the war.
The state executive committee OF the
Young Mems Christian association has
been awake 10 Its opportunity and has
secured a number OF these brilliant Jap
anese 10 speak in Christian associations

societies and educational and social com
mittees are taking Il up with enthusiasm.
seveenteen associations have thus far at
ranged for receptions and special pro-
grams which Jspan's side OF the contro-
versy will be thus attraruvely presented.

CURFEW TO
RING AGAIN
IN HARLEM.

New York, Feb. 20-The good people in
Harlem who don't know when to go 10
bed will be glad TO learn that they VIII
soon be reminded OF that hour by the
pealing OF the dear old chimes from the
famous tower at Mount Morris park.
For years almost all dweliers In the
west side OF Harlem. particularly the
children, waited for the Ginning OF the
bells to tell them the time for rest had
come.
The bells used TO chime thee times a
day. at s a. m, to remind the little ones
that Il was time to get ready for school;
at noon, to remind the teachers TO dis
miss the classes fer luncheon, and at
3 D. m. as a curfew.
II was Mayor Low who silenced the
bells. They had been rung by a fireman
from a neighboring house. but the fire
department was short Of men. John T..
Meehan, the beef and man OF Park
row. who lives in a fine house opposite
Mount Morris park, pleaded for the bells
almost on his knees. but Mayor Low was
obdurate.
But the Harlemites bideo their time.
They voted for Mcclellan. Agan Nee
han went forth on his mission.
"Why, certainly" said Mayor Nc
Clellan promptly: "go and tell Fire
Commissioner Hayes what you want and
tell him that II is all right"
Commissioner Hayes said a man would
be designated for that duty in a few
days when he appointed l5O additional
firemen.
And that was why Harlem was so
proud OF itself Thursday night

BIGGER
navy Than
GERMANY.

washington, Feb. 2o.--The house yester-
day began consideration OF the naval ap-
preparation bill. 10 hours being allowed
for general debate. During the general
discussion Mr.. Fitzgerald ID, N. Y.0 de-
clared that our naval program was 10
procure a naval force greater than mat
OF Germany. He further said:
.In ell sections OF the country the con-
viotion. rightly or wrongly. is firm that
the present occupant of the White House
is likely to involve us In war with some
other nation" adding that the same belief
had been had with respect TO the head or
another great nation, which may ac-
count" he went on, ''for the fact that at
a dinner on Lincoln's birthday at Grand
Rapids, Mich, the highest compliment
that Baron Won sternberg thought that he
could pay to President Roosevelt was TO
declare that he very greatly resembled
the Emperor OF Germany"
Mr.. Fitzgerald said further that IL the
prevailing belief Is justified. and IL the
president is to be given four years OF
power in his own right, now that the
great representative OF the conservative
force OF the Republican party, the late
senator from Ohio (Mr. Hanna), Is gone
&C his reward. It may be wise for us 10
outdo even Great Britain now In our ma
val program, should he Che presidenp
not be made TO feel that the sentiment oil
the country is for peace and not for
strife"
Mr.. Foss made an urgent appeal for the
upbuilding OF the navy, emphasizing the
necessity for ship construction In times OF
peace, with the query: What would Rus
STA give today IL she could call back
some OF her sunken ships?
He said In conclusion that when II be
came necessary for his government tc
strike, II should be prepared TO strike a
blow like that struck by Dewey at Ma
nlla
Mr.. Foss was strongly seconded by Mr.
Meyer Ua.), the ranking Democratic
member on the committee. who combated
the statement that the navy was tor
heavy, as charged, and declared IL indis-
pensable that we should have strong
navy. Referring 10 the Panama canal he
said he was for the canal and also for q
