BY ASTRAL LAW, THE
JAPS JUST HAD TO WIN

Here is the explanation Of the success
OF the Japanese in the war against Russia
from the standpoint Of astral law:
The names OF very successful people are
always q matter Of interest, and in countries
OF occult culture almost the first question
applied to a new thing or person is how
il he named2
In the last round Of Japanese success,
Oyama is the winning factor. Oyama
may, as a name, look just az serene to Us AZ
Smith or Brown, but behold how 1t speaks
to the men Of the Far East. There 1t is
O Yama, or 20 power over hell. or %
pronouncer of Internal Judgments
The first syllable OF the name OF Gen.
Kurok contains whole volume Of power
Bull, an object OF almost supreme venera-
ton as the Great God Ur. But still more
important are these letters as the initial
syllable Of their heavenly patronymic, or
patron star. Uranus.
In astral law it belongs to the order OF
things that Japan should win anything
undertaken this year, and has been 80 from
the beginning. Russia has fought out OF
her planetary orbit, and neither military
prestige nor preponderance Of equipment
could work against what was set Tor her
defeat supposedly at creations dawn.
As q practical follower Of religion the Jap
10 an occultist This presupposes, In it's very
finest sense, a knowledge Of astral law and
planetary attractions and influences. This
culture has been the imn,anent soul Of
Oriental religions for ages.
The Jap OF to-day is but the improved
growth OF the Jap Of 5000 years ago. He
is up to date in many things. not the least
of which is a knowledge Of how to pre-
serve racial strength. Ethnic solidarity
has not been weak ned by amalgamation,
in taking on new territory and new cults
and cultures.

the laws Of life on the astral plane under

All students Of astrology know that this
attraction or occultstion is now upon Japan
from the planet Uranus.

the division OF gain must be considerable.
A more complicated, but for some time
remunerative, scheme was worked In the
Pennsylvania station in Jerrey City. A
we'll dressed man approached any pros
porous individual. rreferably one OF the
obvious college boys who are always com
ing and going from Princeton and the
University Of Pennsylvania, and asked
where he could purchase cut rate tickets.
Having thus opened conversation he
produced check for Large amount and
complaint that he lived In Washington, and
was stranded in New York because he knew
no one to identify him. This preliminary
was followed by an offer to leave his diamond
ecarfpin with the stranger as security for
a ticket to the capital.
He was generally successful In securing
the money or the ticket. In the latter case
the ticket, which costs some S6 odd, was
easily disposed of for five. The pin, of
course, was paste. The employees Of the
railroad became suspicious OF his loiterings,
and after investigation put an end to q
lucrative business.

EASY MONEY.
Cooperative Charity Made to Yield . Av'

There are two clever men now going the

specimen Of humanity sidles into the place
and extends a battered and ancient tile as
