Baron Kogoro Takahira, who
comes to represent the Emperor of
Japan as ambassador to America to
succeed Viscount Aoki, recently re-
called to Japan, arrived on the Cum
ard line steamer Eturia in New York
yesterday direct from Rome, where
he had been established as minister
of Japan.
In an interview given to the news
paper men few hours after his
landing the new ambassador said
shat he had come to finish what the
former ambassador had left still in
complete in the relations between
Japan and America, and that he was
returning to Washington after a two
years absence confident in the belief
that both nations realized that war
between them would be inhuman and
is impossible. Washington Star.

The Army Entertainment.

Few people living in small inland
towns where everybody has plenty to
eat, drink and wear, and where vices
are few when compared to our large
cities, have any conception of the
work done and good accomplished by
the Salvation Army. Those who were
present at the stereoptican entertain
ment last Thursday night, were given
an opportunity to learn not only of
the poor, degraded unfortunate class
the Army seeks to help, but the diff
ferent methods used to reach them
as we'll as care for them after they
have been rescued. Pictures of men
and women who had by SHINING or
from other causes reached the very
depths of degradation, we're shown
in this environment, and then again
after the Army had rescued and plac-
ed them in clean, healthy surround
ings, with plenty of good nourishing
food, and cheerful, Christian home
like atmosphere, superintendent by
men and women of strong character
and experience with human nature,
to guide, watch over and see to it
that these rescued ones continue in
honest, industrious ways, for it is in
deed easy to drop back again into the
ways of temptation unless there is a
strong determination and will power
to overcome, which is not always in
evidence among the better class, and
not to be expected of the ones under
consideration. In conclusion, do not
pass an unfair judgment upon this
band of Christian workers because of
prejudice and lack of information;
when you know them and the won
derful good they accomplish you will
have only admiration and words of
praise.

firm doing the advertising and at
tending to correspondence, and
bringing that degree of hope and en-

so much. He is an untiring worker,
and a most affable man to meet.
These qualifications win in any line,
but are especially valuable and at
tractive in real estate Office where
1t is SO commonly observed that they
always seem at leisure and the i'm

customers the various pieces of prop
erty which he thinks might suit.
They have a large amount of city
property listed for sale and very
large number of farms. The total
value of all their options is just
