FUTURE HOLDS MUCH
Possibilities for Japanese Development
Are Little Understood. r. ..


v. w. Helm, representative Of the Y.
NJ. G. A. with the Japanese army in
Manchuria, gave an interesting talk be-
fore the Commercial club yesterday noon.
Mr.. Helm Is intimately acquainted with
the multitude of minor circumstances and
influences as vel las the greater affairs
that have had so much to do with the
rapid rise Of the island empire.
In addressing the Commercial club, Mr..
Helm adapted his remarks to suit his
hearers. The wonderful natural re-
sources of the country, as yet almost
undeveloped tho worked for hundreds
of years, and the opportunities they
present were outlined.
These commercial possibilities, he ex-
planned, are not limited to the exploita-
ton of the natural resources of the coun-
try There IS also, In his opinion, as
great a future in other lines, notably
manufacturing and commerce. The i'm
mense population of the empire both at
home and on the continent, where 1t is
sure to spread, will give the American
merchant ready and unsurpassed mar
ket for his wares. ...-E

A million -bushel business in oats was
done in Minneapolis yesterday, as a
result of the fierce competitions for ex-,
port tonnage now on between the gulf
roads and the Atlantic seaboard lines.
H. F. Mccarthy, of the Interior Eleva-

The Joint export rate to New Orleans

with 90 to New York.
New York Is Gloomy.
James f.. Parker, chairman of the
transportation committee Of the New
York Produce Exchange, has filed a pro-
test with the eastern trunk lines, and
the New York Chamber Of Commerce
discussed the matter with a view to
lending its influence to stop the loss OF
business. Meanwhile, committee com
posed of the largest grain merchants Of
New York held a long conference with
the officials of the New York Contra
lines. Assurance was given the grain
men that an effort would. be made to
secure rates to the east, on parity

TO enter navy.
REMEMBER THE NAME AP-
PEALs TO CECIL JOHNSTON.
Pride in Big Brother who Persisted
/ when Big Battleship Sank. In Havana
Harbor, "Newsy'' Attaches Him
self to Recruiting Station to Wait
B Till He Grows Big.

Determined to follow the example of
an elder brother who gave his life for
the stars and stripes when the Inflated
Maine went to the bottom in Havana
harbor, Cecil Johnston, street arab, has
attached himself to the naval recruiting
party stationed in the federal build
ing. Seventeen is the minimum age for
enlistment in the navy and young Cecil
has announced that he intends to stay
as close to the office as possible until
three years are past and he can don
the roomy blouse and the flowing
trousers Of an apprentice seaman.
About three days ago young john
ston, who deals in newspapers for
living, ventured into the federal build
ing in search Of customers. Being an
old campaigner he did not take the
elevator, but walked up the stairs,
passing many prosperous-looking Of
ficials without offering his wares, for
his. design was to gain a strategic po-
tsition at the top of the building SO
that if he was expelled he could sell on
his way out.
Sells AL His Papers.
.t5t5, !
The bundle of papers under his arm
was destined to turn from news to
history without changing ownership.
Cecil, following his plan to the utmost
detail, stepped into the office on the
fit til floor sdiagonally opposite the stair
way and said, ssPaper, sir?"
Then he dropped his stock Of mer.
chandise, pulled himself up and gave
the salute taught him by his brother
Just before he sailed away with the
Maine on the voyage from which shif
and seamen never returned. For eight
years Cecil's brother has slept in thu
burial plot beside the still harbo1
where his ship went down, but tn
Hove for the service he. followed lay
1 dormant in the heart of the grimy lit
tie. newsie, who worshiped him as {
hero. The sight of the navy's uniform
and the silver bars on the collar Of tn
recruiting officer brought Cecil to
full stop and made him forget that n
must sell his papers if he got any sup
per that night.
