STEAD TALKS ON FLEETS
Says Pacific Cruise Puts Americas
 Head Into Jaws of Jap Lion.

London, Dec. 23.-William T. Stead, the editor of the Review of Reviews, in an article in the Daily Mail, justify ing his recent advocacy of Great Brit aims replying to Germany's naval pro- gram by laying down two Dread noughts for every one Germany builds, argues that Germany has weakened instead of strengthened her position in the world by building fleet, because the whole Germany navy virtually is a hostage in the hands of a stronger naval power.
 For any power to have fleet on the high seas, says the writer, which is not the strongest fleet afoat, is an increase not of strength but of vulner- ability. For instance, the American Pacific fleet is supposed to be a men ace to Japan. In reality, if it ventures in the northern Pacific, Uncle Sam will be bound over to good behavior to the whole value of that fleet. The United States, invulnerable on land, is venturing her head into the jaws of the Japanese lion, and while the fleet remains in the Pacific Americans will be very civil to Japan"

PAY YOUR BILLS.
Do Not Hoard by Keeping Money That Belongs to Your Creditors.

Do Not Hoard by Keeping Money That Belongs to Your Creditors.
 There are hosts of people to-day who have money in hand and are let ting their grocers, butchers, lpilkmen and others who supply the necessities of life go unpaid simply because they are tilnid, and, like some country and city banks, want to collect and keep as much money on hand as possible; as if money were for boarding and not for circulation, This small-minded pre- caution is bringing misfortune to many industries and faithful men ad wome Those who supply the means of life, whose coming and going from the house are part of the daily routine Of keeping the family alive, ought to be the very last to suffer from delayed payment As a matter of fact, they are the very first. People who can still spend money upon the theatre, the opera, concerts and other forms of en- tertainment, are letting their grocers, butchers and milkmen go unpaid, thus contributing to the very condition which makeg them cowardly, There is no longer any reason for ttmidity; but if there were, the duty of paving ones small debts with as great prompt ness and as deep sense of responsi- biltiy as one pays ones large debts would press still more imperatively It is a great deal more honorable to have a small bank account and no un- paid bills in the house than to have a large bank account made up by keep ing money which belongs to other peo- pie The first duty of an honorable man in a time of stringency is to see that he is not transferring to those who furnish the necessities of life the bur den which he ought to bear himself,-- Outlook.

Japanese Immigration
 Has Been Discontinued

Immigration Inspector Mur Jhy of Tucson is in Naco to secure four Japanese laborers who were arrested there for attempting to enter this country in violation to the new immi- grat on laws
 Under the old immigration laws, all Japanese were allowed to come into this country on the payment of s head tax of two dollars. At the last session of congress, however, new immigration law was enacted aith re- gard to the Japanese which allows no laborers to come here unless thyy nave a passport showing that they came direct from Japan to the Uaited States.
 In the pact thousands of Japanese coolies have contracted with the rail- road companies in Mexico for work there. They were advanced transpor, tati to some Mexican port by the railroad companies. Few of the Japs xoui remain in the labor camps | l,oweyer, as they could come into thii country on the payment of the head tax.
 The new law effectnally puts . stol to the assertions and the Japs wht attempt to come into this country b'
 way of Mexico will either be sen
 back to Mexico or will be sent t' Japan.
