ministers today were cautioned by
Bishop Joseph E. Berry of Buffalo

bishop declared that the afternoon

any way was not minister but

Saturday, April 20, has been
designated by Gov. Mickey as Ar
Dor Day. Everyone who has a
home should plant trees and shrub
berry for use or beauty for the

JAPAN IS PROGRESSING.
Slowly But Surely the People Are
Forging Ahead in the
1ndustries,

The Japanese are Quartered on long,
narrow, very mountainous group of is
lands having an area one-third larger
than the British isles, and about equal to
that Of California, of which only II per
cent. is capable of cultivation. The
dense population of from $4,000, 900 to
$4,000, 900, all dependent upon the prod
ucts of the field and the nearby waters,
carry on their outdoor work by many
an ancient method. Their struggle for
existence has not been an easy one, says
the Engineering Magazine. Yet with
al this, they are contented and happy,
for the struggle has not been character
lied by the haste and intense strain un-
der which we labor. In this respect they
are wiser in their day and generation
than we are.
When considering Japan's progress,
it is we'll to remember that there are
at least two viewpoints. One is the
Japanese; and if we Judge by their no.
tions, the advancement during the time
occupied by the last half of Marquis
Ito's public life alone is little less than
marvellous. This is the point of view
persistently put forward by them and
oftenest seen in newspapers. On the
other hand, from the outlook of for
eigner who has lived in Japan and
knows the average as we'll as the ex-
ceptional conditions, they still have
long way to 60 in their industries and
civilization to attain the eminence they
are popularity given credit for having
already reached.
Japan progresses. Her shipbuilding
progresses also. So do her other indus
tries. Were it possible a hasty glance
along few other lines of Japanese in
dustry would be of interest as showing
in general way the past and existing
conditions and the present state of prog
ress. This comparison Of Industrial
works should give the relative progress
and position of shipbuilding as COM
pared with the improvement and pres
ent. standing of other industrial enter
prises. It would also emphatically evil
dence the fact that Japan's industrial
growth has not been in shipbuilding
alone. but that her progress has been
along all lines. and therefore that ship
building has only been keeping pace
with the national progress.

They rushed for shelter into an old
