JAPS WANT PHILIPPINES

Terrible Defeat.

Kansas City, Mo, March 21.-United
States Senator William j. Stone in the
Course of speech here last night at
the monthly dinner of the Knife and
Fork Club said:
'If We are to have serious trouble
with any nation it will be with Japan.
Japan wants the Philippians. am not
sure that it would not be the best for
all concerned If she would get them,
but one thing is certain, and that is,
she will never get them with our
consent, but We may have trouble in
keeping them. Japan would seize the
archipelago in a week and we would
then have to send over big enough
fleet to wipe Japan from the sea. That
would be a huge and costly task"

Sixty-six indictments have been re-
turned against Abraham Ruef and his

To illuminate BattIefieIds,

An interesting novelty that has been
recently introduced into the German
army is revolver which fires illumi-
mating bullets. says the Washington
Herald. The weapon has the general
appearance Of the regular service re-
volver. but is larger in calber and in
general dimensions. The bullets after
being fired became highly Illuminating.
The discharge is practically noiseless.
The bullet rises about hundred yards
and has a range of about the same dis
tance. Wherever the bullet alights the
landscape Is lit up as brilliantly as by
daylight for about half minute. This
enables attacking troops to reconnoiter
effectively and readily TO detect the
presence OF an enemy. On falling to
the ground or Oh buildings these illu-
minating bullets do not set fire to CON-
bustible objects. and they are therefore
not dangerous 10 use in localities where
ors might be as dangerous to the at
tacking troops as TO tue enemy.

players would undoubtedly be identi-
fed with the sport. In Melbourne,
Victoria, the southern state, many
teams also play regularly every Satur-
day afternoon. aud the public is being
attracted for the reason that the teams
get a chance of playing in advance of
the football matches. which are liber-
ally patronized.
In Hobart, Tasmania baseball has
been successfully inaugurated this
year and is being played with great
success. II is also conspicuous at
Newcastle. y. s. W. and for a season
fiourished in Brisbane. the capital of
Queensland. but owing to the scarcity
of grounds and the migration of the
pioneers it fell through. Every year an
interstate series of games is played
between Victoria and New South
Wales in each capital city alternately,
and players travel GOO miles and pay
their own expenses to indulge in the
contests. Many of the leading cricket
ers take part in the games.
1t is expected that at no distant day
baseball will be played on an organ
lied basis. and in this direction the
New South Wales association has been
doing good work, and the present po
sition Of the game there is principally
due TO the efforts of the association.
