A Scheme in
Decoration
By OLIVIA BARTON STROHM
'As up the street, each girl we meet
With looks so shy,
Wand cry, MY eye.

"AS up the street, each girl we meet
With looks so shy,
Would cry: MY eye,
Oh. isn't he a daring. the bold solder
boy!"
So sang Lucy, as she arranged the
cakes and pies temptingly in the Vim
dow. For the procession was to pass
that way, and things must look nice.
Lucy made extra effort to place the
best doughnuts in the furthest corner,
for with this excuse she could see the
other bakery on the opposite side OF
the street. The clerk there was out
side, and at sigh: of the girl he waved
a tlag-Which, however, he suddenly
slipped behind his back, for at that mo-

Il noticed" grunted her mistress,
that you stayed a long time in the
middle of the street watching it. Re

every time he changed a thing in his

Mrs. Jane Briggs advertised home

ing trade. Indeed, people said that
since she left her husband and started
in business in opposition, he had been
losing money. Hard lines to lose a
wife and customers at once" they said
But nobody pitied Silas Briggs; he
was reputed hard, narrow and morose
1t was common gossip that his refusal
to contribute to a Decoration day fund
was the immediate cause OF the separa-
ton from his wife. "A man hat takes
no interest in this day-a man that's
too stingy 70 help honor the graves of
those boys, blue or gray, is no man
for mel"
That was a year ago, and in his shop
to-day there were the same dingy shut
teIs, the same weather beaten door, the
same poor display in the curtainless
window.
An hour before the procession started
Silas Briggs announced to his clerk.
I'm going out now, Jackson; now, be-
fore the mob gets started. Take care of
things while I'm away"
Young Jackson followed him to the
door, where he mustered courage to say:

And his employer withdrew, banging
the door.

An Alarm in Berlin.

When the Rochambeau monument
was dedicated in this city three
years ago everyone who saw the
parade to Lafayette Square was i'm
pressed by the contrast between the
French sailors in the line and our
own Jackies. Trotting along Penn
sylvania avenue at the rate of 1SC
steps to the minute, sweating like a
clay water jar in the shade, short OF
stature, nervous in every move, the
Gauls seemed a poor match for their
American fellows, tall, unperturbed,
independent, muscular. cool. and
ground at 120 steps to the minute
Some of our army officers warned us
then that 1t would not do to base
comparison of French arms with
those of the United States on ap-
pearances only, and word that comes
from the French maneuvers at
Troyes indicates that the caution OF
those officers was more than justi-
fed.
1t appears that several battalions
of nervous, putting little soldiers,
confreres Of the sailors we saw here,
went into action after march
ing thirty miles carrying fifty-six
pounds of pack under a hot sun
without a single man falling out ~
If the dispatches mean that the men
marched thirty miles in one day,
they report new record. Whether
they mean that or not, it is enough
of an achievement that after SO long
a march they were able to go into
action heavily accoutered and not
lose a single rifleman. Evidently
those troops are ready for service
The London Spectator reports, in
another connection, an incident
which may be construed as putting
a premium on French preparedness.
The Echo de Paris. according to the
Spectator, invited a German officer

mission. Immediately storm arose
for fear an officer trained by the
Kaiser might aid the possible ene-
mics of the Kaiser to correct their
military mistakes. Whereat the
Spectator asks: why be so jealous
Of any improvement in the French
army, especially when the improve
ment, on the hypothesis, is borrowed
from themselves? 1t is this temper
rather than any positive act or any
speech by the German Emperor
which keeps Europe so restless anG
! uneasy" 1t is not likely the French
lost much; and the alarm which
their proposal excited among the
Germans may prove to be. in the
end, a signal benefit In any event

branch of the rebate cases, in Chi
eago, yesterday, by pleas of guilty

means that shrewd and careful at
torneys recognized the strength of
the Governments case against their
clients and accepted the inevitable.
Under the circumstances fines were
the proper punishment for the court
to impose.
This termination is victory for
the Government and will have a
moral weight of great value in the
deterring of would-be violators of
the statutes. Taking everything
into consideration the Government
and the defendants are to be con-
graduated upon the outcome.
However, when the Government

Pacific coast
Few men are better fitted to express
an opinion on this subject than A. L.
IC. Atkinson. secretary of the Territory
of Hawaii. three times acting governor
of that island and slated to succeed
Governor Carter.
He is chairman of the territorial
board of immigration. Mr. Atkinson is
graduate of Ann Arbor Michigan
University.
In a signed article in the issue of the
Independent to be published tomorrow,
Mr.. Atkinson says:
/ do not believe that Hawaii is des-
tined 10 be Japanized- II is fact
that the Japanese population OF the
islands is more than twice the number
of Caucasians of all nationalities and
it must be admitted that the Japanese
originally admitted here as laborers-a
large ma jority of them contract labor
ers. Before annexation they made con-
siderable advance as skilled labor
ers, and have driven many American
skilled laborers away from the group.
Entitled to Citizenship.
The aforementioned fact that there
are thousands of young Japanese grow
ing up all over the islands who will
have the right. being American born.
to demand American citizenship and
| to vote must also be admitted. 1t is
pointed out by alarmists in Hawaii to-
day that in about ten years enough o:
| the youths will grow up to dominate
the political situation in the islands and
| q japanese legislature and japanese
county officials in this little America n
Territory are freely predicted by the
alarmists
The Japanese, however, do not become
expatriated. They viii not want Amer
| lean citizenship. They do not want it
now. In the last general election here the
| japanese who voted can be counted
on the fingers of a hand, though there
are undoubtedly several hundred who
could qualify: The Chinese far more
rather, reach after il when able. and
| We have about two hundred of them
| as voters.
| The Chinese desire for citizenship.
| however. is usually not founded on de-
| votfon TO Americanism- 1t is merely a
matter Of avoiding the difficulties and in
| conyeniences of the exclusion act, for
| a Chinese who is an American citizen
may travel TO and from the country as
| he wills The japanese want cur ed
| ucation, our business and mechanical
| knowledge and money. but far more
than the Chinese, they want TO keep
