WAR NOTES OF THE JAPANESE
Complaints That Their Issue is Detri'
mental to Trade.

From various sources the attention OF the
state Department has been drawn to the
great htndrance to foreign trade with Man
churia caused by the circulation OF the war
notes issued by the Japanese generals In the
field during the late war to the Chinese
farmers and traders and coolies who sup
piled either fodder food, transportation or
labor to the Japanese soldiers. Like notes
were issued during the civil war by Union
commanders in cases of necessity, and they
were all redeemed by the national govern
ment in the end.
II is not doubted that it is the purpose of
the Japanese government to also redeem
their notes and in fact the redemption Is
said to be in progress, but in a manner
which is giving dissatisfaction to some OF
the foreign houses trading with Manchu-
ria The charge is made in some of the
complaints that have reached Washington
that discrimination is practiced to the det-
riment of our trade in that quarter. These
charges are not official, however, and all
that comes to the department ON the sub
ject from its agents in China is the mere
statement that the circulation of these
notes Is injurious TO United States trade.
A typical report is that from Consul Gen
eral Rodgers at Shanghai. dealing with the
reasons for the diminution of American
trade I'm that quarter. In the course of his
statement he says that besides monopoliz-
ing the transportation facilities. the pres
ence of the Japanese in Manchuria has had
a deterrent effect through the circulation
of these war notes. The Shanghai mer-
chants will not accept that paper which is
| DISCOUNTED 20 per cent In payment for their
| goods, and the same situation prevails In
Niuchwang, so that foreign goods remain
stored in the warehouses
That is the official side of the matter
| The unofficial reports pursue the subject
| further. They state that no less than so
| 100000 of these notes were issued by the
| japanese, and that the Japanese officials
| refuse to redeem them directly from the
| Chinese, but oblige the latter to buy JAP
anese goods with the notes and afterward
| deterrent effect through the circulation
| either in coin or In new paper notes issued
| by the state bank. 1t is only fair to state
| that the Japanese government, through the
/ embassy in Washington, has enerEeticaIly
denied that any discrimination against for
ereigners Is practieed. and has asserted that
| the war notes are redeemable at par

MISTAKES IN IDENTIFICATION.
Possibility Of Datto Ali Not Being
Dead Admitted

Some OF the army officers in Washington
who are experienced in the ways of the
Filipino entertain great doubt as to the ac-
cUracy of the report that the celebrated
Moro leader, Datto Ali. was really killed,
as reported, and they disposed to give
some credence to the latest cable news from
Manila to the effect that the supposed dead
man has turned up. They are fortified IN
their belief by recalling the case of the no.
torious bandit Felizardo, who was the
terror of Cavite province even during the
days of Spanish occupation of the Philip
pines That man had been guilty of crimes
so atrocious that the Philippine government
offered a reward of So 600 for his body, dead
ar alive The constabulary was stimulated
into a hike and after desperate fight In
the jungle brought IN what was declared to
be the body Of Felizardo. 1t was In fact.
identified by number of Filipinos, and the
reward was paid to the men who declared
they had killed him.
Three months later some of the brfgand' S
relatives who had quarreled with him told
the authorities that he was alive and they
could disclose his whereabouts. So some
Filipinos started after him, and this time
they succeeded in killing the outlaw. The
government had to pay the reward second
time.
Another case In point was that of a SOL
der of the Odd Infantry. He disappeared
after fight and was set down as de-
serter to the enemy. The chaplain was not
satisfied and had some of the bodies of the
men killed in action exhumed. One Of these
was clad in American clothing, so the
record was changed and the man was set
down as killed in action. Three months
later the soldier came into camp He had
been captured while drunk In the company
of some dissolute women and carried off a
prisoner by the fnsurrectionists.

visitors'Day at Camp Good WIN.

Camp Good viii Is taking on holiday
appearance in preparation for visitors day
tomorrow This will be the opening for the
season and IT is Expected that at least COO
among the friends Of this charity will be
present at different times in the day. A
bus may be found near Brightwood Hotel
In which visitors travelling by car can
reach the camp without walking. Horses
have been loaned for this purpose by Lit
tlefield. Alvord and Company. and the bus
was secured through Father Mcguire from
Downey's stable.
Seven hundred and sixty week-vacations
were given at Camp Good Will last sum-
mer, boys, girls. mothers and babies being
selected for these vacations from among the
most needy to be found In the city. The
children slept and ate in tents and lived
in the open air. It is not regarded as pos
sible to tell exactly the good results IN
each particular case. but Il IS believed to be
true that these children were better able
to withstand the heat OF summer and the
coming cold OF winter from the careful
development OF these short vaca ttons.

at noon yesterday and gave his ticket 10
the conductor. Sunday night, he said, he
was cared for at the house of strangers.
Yesterday morning he went to the depot.

send him home.
Persons who heard the pitiful story told
by the sx-year-oid boy were deeply touch
ed and they would have sent him to Lees
burg had they not heard small boys tell
such stories before. The police learned
that the mother of the boy was working
at Naragansett and that the boy had been
at the house of detention about three
weeks ago. He had lived with his mother
at 2114 Vermont avenue but since his
mother went away he resided at the nome
of his uncle. 456 Ridge street He was
