JAPAN'S GREAT WAR GENERAL
is A HARD WORKER.
says Japan Was Forced to Fight This
War IN Interests Of International
Peace and safety Of Their Country
HE Has High Regard FOR Russian
Soldiers He Is IN Good Health.

Yinkow, March "a. Field Marshal
oyama has given his hrst interview
since coming into the field. He re-
fused to discuss the probability Of
peace.
II am only a soldier, he said mot
a politician. The japanese govern
ment will arrange terms Of peace
when the time comes. we were forced
to fight this war in the interests Of
international peace and for the safety
Of our country. Personally, have d
high regard for the Russians. They
are soldiers. The officers and men are
brave and able and have fought well.
During the war between China and
Japan | was the commander OF the
army which captured Port Arthur.
With division and q half Of troops
we took the city in five hours. The re-
suit this time shows wonderful differ
enee between the Russians and the
Chinese, with whom we had previous
experience.
"Our army, both soldiers and Of

war for Japan for 16 years, during
which time CONSUMPTION laws were
passed. have closely watched the
making Of the japanese army, which
has proved what I say, that the officers
and the men have fulfilled every hope,
as / believe they would in the olden
days, when the Japanese army was
composed of the Samuri professional
fighting men. The modern army was
drafted from all classes, yet all our
hopes have been fully realized by the
work this army has done in actual
war"
Field Marshal Oyama declined to
discuss the future movements or
plans Of the Japanese army. He inti-
mated that he was ready to continue
the war as long. as necessary.
Despite reports to the contrary,
Field Marshal Oyamas health is ex.

Suggestion For the Gar.

st. Petersburg. "A bold way ont Of
the perplexities Of the present situation
has been suggested. namely, that Em-
peror Nicholas travel in state to the
ancient capital of Moscow, summon
the mobiles and leading members Of tho
zemstvos around him in the sacred pre-
cincts Of the Kremlin, frankly lay the
situation before them, publicly pledge
his word for the execution Of the pro-
jected reforms and make stirring per-
sonal appeal through them to the
people to Loyalty rally to the support Of
the Russian arms and cooperate in
prosecuting the war 70 a successful
termination.
Such a personal appeal from the
sovereign undoubtedly would have a
powerful effect throughout the country,
and for the dynasty would have an adj
vantage over the plan Of peace or war
to the zemsky sober, which some of the
newspapers are again urging.

'AGELIMIT ARGUMENT
GOVERNMENT CHEMIST AGREES
With DIR. OSLER.



Ne statement made ia recent years
by any member Of the medical frater
nifty created as much discussion III the
public press as the recent declaration
by Dr. Osler that man IL old at 40
and his utility ceases about the age
|of SO, according to medical science.
Because of the many exceptions TAX
en- to this SO called medical heresy
enuneiated BY the famous specialist.
few members Of the medical frater-
nifty have dared to express themselves
along similar lines, even though they
looked upon the Osler theory ais con
tanning many elements Of truth.
DR. Harvey w Wiley, chief OF the
government chemical bureau and a
personal friend Of Or. Oaler. in an III
terview the other day Endorsed the
Osler theory that man Is old 1T 40 and
his utility ceases at so, but added that
science is already working to increase
the span Of human life and III few
years man may be so years Of age
and still be young While indorsing
the theories OF pr Osler, Dr. Wiley
holds out the consolation Of science
for the future.
Is the average man old at 60g 1t
is regrettable but nevertheless true,
said DR. Wiley. THE average man at
SO today Is laid on the shelf. The veins
ID his body have hardened and that is
the real sign Of age AIS long as mans
veins remain fresh his body IS invigo-
rated. tissues are builded UP as quick
" as they decay and fear Of death
need have no telTors: but when the
blood vessels harden, one Of them Is
apt to snap at any time, and this, in
a vast number Of cases, is the cause
Of death today"

Great quantities of the costly goods,
however We're never used but, being
cure store houses, We're allowed to de-
cay In their greed for gain the chiefs,
who had complete control over the
common people, oppressed them sore
ly, compelling them to remain for
months at time in the mountains
telling trees and bringing them down
on their backs to the royal store
houses situated on the shore.
About the year 1910 Kamehameha
I, king of Hawaii, is said to have re-
ceived annually 100000 for sandal
wood and during the closing years
of his reign and until 1925, the trade
in this valuable wood was at It's height
In 1929 the wood was becoming scarce
and in 1885. the annual export had
fallen off to $4,000. In the years from
1886 to 1871, it amounted to only $685.
000 and soon after the trade in sandal
wood seems to have come to a COM
plete stop.
The cause of this rapid decrease and
final termination was due to the un-
relenting chiefs who were guilty of the
almost complete extinction of this val
liable asset to the island forests. So
harshly did they drive on the serfs
in the gathering of the crop that these
oppressed people destroyed also the
young trees, in order that they and
their sons might be relieved from toll
so heavy in the years to come. Short
ly after, 1910, the chiefs suddenly re-
allied their blunder and the taboo
which they then put on the trees has
saved for us few species in the deep
woods.
In India to-day a similar species the
Santalum Album, is successfully Gull
tivated, under government control,
and the supply of the wood is kept
up by large plantations. The trees
attain their maturity in twenty to
thirty years, the trunk then being one
foot in diameter. 1t is to be hoped
that on the new forest reserves of
Hawaii attempts will be made to re-
store the groves of this valuable tree
and we may yet live TO hear that the
trade i'm sandalwood grown in the
Hawaiian Islands. has been revived.

If any tree has ever been grossly
maltreated it is the sandalwood tree in
Hawaii OF. no especial value at first
to the natives Of the islands it grew
naturally and abuadantly in splendid
mountain groves, but to-day only few
survivors are found in isolated parts
of the country. The same avarice and
human lack of foresight which swept
away the American buffalo by the
thousands has also been active in al
most completely extirpating this tree
in the Hawaiian Islands.
OF the three species of the sandal
wood and about four varieties which
grow in the islands, those most COM
mercially important were the Santalum
freycinetianum and Santalum Pyrul-
arium. These were straight, hand
some trees attaining an average height
of twenty-five feet and a thickness of
one foot at the base. Another variety
is reported to attain the height of
eighty feet with a trunk three feet in
We're mere bushes growing along the
rocky shore or in the inaccessible high
lands. The wood of each species was
compact, fine-grained, and of a yell
lowish color. On account of its re-
markable fragrance il was called by
the natives laau ala (odoriferous wood,
while the name of the tree itself is
iliahi fire bark. In China it was
purchased by the picul of 1888 1-2
pounds, the price varying from eight
to ten dollars for the picul. To-day
genuine sandalwood is worth in China
from $50 to $3.50 ton. In that coun-
try there was a great demand for the
wood where 1t was and is still used
for ornamental carving, framework
for fans, for perfumes and as incense
in Buddhist temples. 1t is especially
valuable for cabinet work for insects

wood.
The traffic in sandalwood marked
the first commercial period in the his
tory of the Hawaiian Islands. In
some way the presence of the tree was
suddenly discovered by early voy-
ayers who knew It's value and it seems
to have been American ships that in
stituted' the trade. for in 1892 two
men We're left from a Boston brig on
the island of Kauai to contract for
several cargoes of sandalwood for the
China trade. The chiefs sent their
serfs into the forests to fell the trees,
clean the wood and bring It down by
shiploads to the sea. At first all COM
merce was carried on by barter and in
return for large cargoes of this wood
