| ing. On the departure OF troops
for the Russo-Japanese war civil
ians, male and female, were allowed
to mingle freely with officers and
soldiers on the platforms of the
railway stations. The last parted
affectionately with men relatives
and friends, but utterly ignored
mothers, wives, sisters and daught-
ers. These were stoically calm and
silent, depressing all evidence of
feeling or emotion.
Not Destitute of Affection.
They are not, however, destitute
of a sense of affection; the intimate
expression of it toward men is I'M
der restraint. They have been
trained to look on man as soldier
regards his superior officer and to
Weld to him the same implicit, blind
obedience. But in the attitude of
the men toward the women there is
no element of cruelty. The Japa-
nese husband, as a matter of fact,
allows his wife the broadcast liberty.
He will not do her even the honor
of being jealous. He regards her
only as an irksOme, but necessary
burden.
On her part, she passes a tranquil
existence. She has no thinking, no
planning, no scheming to dO-these
are done for her. Her husband
never consults her, never confides
in her. The result of this is a
NATIVITY that, in America, would be
found only in a child.
NJ. Petit says that what we call
Glove" does not exist between the
sexes of Japan. For a Japanese to
express affection for a woman is
looked upon as objectionable weak
ness and lack of self-cOntrOl. For
this reason they have a supreme
contempt for the attitude of the Eu-
ropean toward his women. Should
the European conduct himself to-
ward a japanese woman as he does
toward a woman of his own race he
would only arouse her contempt.
She would look on him as an infe-
rior. As matters now stand, the
Japanese woman is prejudiced
against Europeans; she considers
them rude and weak, uncOuth in
bearing, manners and speech, and
exceedingly lacking in ideas and
thoughts.
The revelations about tainted canned
goods are causing a panic among the
picnicking people.

several loads were taken into the pub

A large crowd gathered and witness

NJ. Charles Petit, formerly cor
respondent of the LIE Temps Of Par
is, who has been for many months
in Japan, returns to his own coun-
try with little regard remaining for
the Japanese women. The pretty
pictures formed of them by writer's
of sentimental fiction are completely
discredited by M. Petit, who de
cIares that there is all the difference
in the world between the dainty,
docile, clearly little creature IN
charming kimono, wearing always
smile, always obedient, loyal and
sacrificing, that fiction depicts and
the real Japanese woman. In the
New York Sun NJ. Pettit's views
and comments are set out at length.
He says, for instance, that while

slons is his purpose, nevertheless,

Scribing the Japanese woman and

nostrils.
Loyal to Their Masters.
NJ. Petit, however, gives them

Clearly and unfinchingly loyal to

San Francisco is not to be discour-

building supplies. Business needs are SO
great and so much money is to be made
that high premiums are being gladly
paid to take advantage of the oppor-

building permits tell the story of the
wonderful stride of rehabilitation
