Yokohama. - This mongrel city
Is the most that many travellers
see of Japan, yet is it neither Japa-
nese nor foreign, and is spoken of
disparagingly by everybody through
out the empire except those whose
business interests lie here. The city
is comparatively recent creature of
foreign trade 1t is not characteristic
cally Japanese even in its speech. The
Yokohama dialect" is byword
throughout Japan. Nor is the city
Chinese, though it has a large colony
of pigtails. Still less can it be called
European, although its 600 European
residents make it the most foreign
city in Japan.
The Importance Of Yokohama lies in
the fact that it is the first gateway
for the trade of the orient. Here the
west first touches the east. 1t is in

man, whose servants one day fell i'll.
They consulted the Buddhist priest
near by, who told them that their ill
ness was caused by the malignant in
f1uence of the devil on the Americans
house. 1t would be impossible for
them to recover so long as that hid
eous creature shot its baneful glances
in their direction.
Straightway the servants reported
to their employer that they must
leave Now the servant problem is a
problem the world over, and the mer-
chant viewed with CONSERVATION the
loss of his present servants and his
probable inability to replace them, for
the same reason. He urged them to
see the priest again, to consider some
other remedy, since it was impossible
to have the image removed. Whether
the Englishman saw the priest at the
same time or not does not appear in
the story.
The revised verdict was, however,
that if large cannon were placed on
the gable OF the Englishmans house,
pointing directly at the wooden devil,
the power of the latter would be coun-
teracted. So, whoever visits Yokoha-
ma may see new brass cannon about
three feet in length and of three-inch
bore mounted on the top Of modern
EngIishman's residence, with its muz-
zle pointed threateningly toward the
house of the next door neighbor. All
this, mark you, is not tale of old ia
pan, but a happening of recent
months. $

church an aggressive moral force
which will be able to reach the for
eign young men of Yokohama, who
constitute the city's greatest religious
problem.
l cannot find that conditions among
the latter are as bad as reported, al
though they are bad enough, as might
be expected when host of single
young men go half world away from
home and it's restraints, and find
themselves in community where
there is no public sentiment. The
number of Eurasian children to be
seen in Yokohama are a more elo-
quent argument for the improvement
of moral conditions here than any alb
stract preachments. The tourist who
comes here to see sights is not always
exactly moral influence. Indeed,
there are many forces at work to cul
tivate the worst side of American
manhood, with the result that one
views some pitiable wrecks of once
promising lives. Yet Yokohama has
many clean, strong, able American
gentlemen, both young and old. Any
sweeping condemnation of this Ameri-
can community must be declared false.
