All the japanese generals, as soon
as they had won their victories, went
on the operating table.

clusiveness of harakiri.
The Japanese Minister at Washington
not long ago entered a sanitarium. Just

turned to him and said:

long mis- holy work of scourging the
money changers, but his prominence
called for the knife, so he had TO spend
several months getting well. and it has
been noticed that his articles never
