Strategic Position.


Consider for a moment the strategic
position of Japan and it's relation to the
Philippines. If you look at the map you
will see roughly speaking. that the en-
tire east China coast Is fronted by
nearly continuous insular formation.
Eorthernmost Is the Japanese archi-
pelago Next comes Formosa. Last Is
the Philippine archipelago. Japan already
has Formosa and is engaged at Ereat ex-
pense in the reduction OF that island to
her control and in its colonization and
development. What is the next natural
thing for the Japanese mind to think
about? The Philippines. Geographically
continuous with her own territory, stra-
logically correlated with Japan proper
with the great Chinese situation, in
habited by an oriental race in part at
least of cognate origin, possessing, IN
spite of being some thousands OF square
miles less in area, hundreds of thousands
of acres more of productive land and an
intellectually greater variety OF wealth of
natural resources in the way of minerals,
timber and products. and inhabited to the
extent OF only about one-slxth the
density of her own population.

Many persons, women and men, who suffer from indigestion or other intestinal ail- ments are being treated by the "Neb- uchadnezxar cure" Those who read their Bible know that Nebuchadnezzar, who was very bad man, was con demned to go on all fours and eat grass. The cure named after the wick. ed king does not compel the patient to eat grass, of course Any of the break fast foods that come out of Michigan will do. But the patient, woman or man, must go on all fours for certain fixed time each day.

BASIS OF AGREEMENT WITH SCHNITz
Exclusion League of San Francisco Refuses to Agree to Place Entire Power In Hands of RcOse-
 welt and Mtkado.

| | Power In Hands of RcOse-
 welt and Mtkado.
 WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-The basis of the agreement reacSed between President Roosevelt, Secretary Root Mayor Schmitz and the members of the San Francisco school board on the Japanese school controversy, made pub lie last night by Mayor Schmitz, pro vides that ''all children of alien races under sixteen years of age who speak the English language may be admitted to the white schools.
 Special schools are to be established for children of alien birth who are de- l ficient in the elements of the English language"
 Thus Japanese children are to be ad- mitted to the white schools of San Francisco under certain restrictions. Skilled and unskilled laborers coming 1 from Japan are barred from the main land of the United States, and Ameri- 1 can laborers, skilled and unskilled, are to be excluded from Japan. This is the basis of the agreement between President Roosevelt, Secretary Root, Mayor Schmitz and the San Francisco school board as an adjustment of the anti-Japanese agitation, brought about by the segregation of Japanese chil- dren in the schools of San Francisco. Legislative approval of the presi- dents plan for ending the Japanese disturbances in California was com pleted when the house by vote of 1S7 to 101 adopted the conference report on the immigration bill, containing the passport clause for the exclusion of Japanese coolles from this country. i The state department, being now fairly assured through the passage of the immigration bill that the San Fran cisco authorities will rescind their ac- tion excluding Japanese pupils from the white schools, is prepared to take up again negotiations that were already in progress with the Japanese govern ment looking to the regulation of Jap anese immigration into the United States.
 A San Francisco dispatch says o. A. Tveitmoe, president of the Japanese and Korean Exclusion league, has de- clared that the league twill refuse to indorse the enactment of an exclusion measure based upon the discretionary power of Japan to withhold passports from coolies desiring to emigrate to the mainland of the United States.
 If the treaty fails to check the flood of Japanese, now coming into this country at the rate of over thousand a week, it will prove that President Roosevelt's action is entirely wrong. In that event the league will continue its campaign harder than ever. The league is interested solely in exclusion. We take no part in the separate school dispute. However. we believe an ex. clusiou law that would place the en. tire matter in the hands of the mikado and the president would be dangerous. ly bad"
