Washington, Feb. S.-Opinions
differ about the gravity of the Jap
anese situation, Those best informed
look on 1t as serious. Senator Per-
kins, of California, does not agree
with the President that action by
California's legislature will contra
vene the treaty rights OF the Jap;.l IL
ese.
The President Is said to have fears
that things may go so far that Japan
VIII break of diplomatic relations
with the United States. He feels
that at this time California has no
right to commit any act which might
plunge this nation into war.
The japanese Ambassador recent
ly stated In conversation with n
public man that Japan had made NJ
demand on this country at all; that
1t relies absolutely on the United
States to carry out It's assurances OF
good will and good faith toward
Japan.
1t has been published that part
OF the battleship feet will be de-
tached Immediately on Its arrival at
Hampton Roads and sert to the Pa
cific. There is no truth In this ru-
NOR. 1t is understood that all Of
the vessels In the fleet will require
some repairs and an overhauling
when they return. However. 1t has
been intended all along that some
of the battleships should be sent
back to the Pacific as soon as this
overhauling has been completed.

Cure Catarrh.

Catarrh can never be cured by TAX
ing medicines into the stomach nor
by sprays, atomizers or douches.
Intelligent physicians have long
ago discarded such ideas and not one
of them would be worth consideration
were it not for the fact that unscru-
pulous persons prey upon the ignor-
ance of the people in regard to new
discoveries.
Catarrh is caused by germs and just
as long as these germs thrive in the
folds, crevices, hooks and corners of
the mucous membrane that line the
nose, throat and chest, just so long
will you have catarrh.
There is only one WAY to cure ca
tarrh, and that is to kill the germs.
There is only one remedy that will
kill the germs when 1t gets where the
germs are, and that is Hyomei.
Hyomei is made chiefly from Aus
|tralian Eucalyptus and Eucalyptol
combined with other germ-killing an
tiseptics, Just breathe 1t in, through

Gives Reasons Why Hattiesburg
Should Have Rates Proposed BY
r. r. Commissioner Scott.

is self-explanatory::
Editor News:
Dear Sir: I, in common with all
the good people of our city, appreciate
the energy and consistency you mani
fest in the advocacy of whatever
tends to the upbuilding and prospect
ty of our growing city.
l beg to say in this connection that
think the question of freight rates

minds Of our people is a question of
very great Importance, not only to
the business men of the community,
but to all the public in general.
want to mention some of the
reasons why I think Hattiesburg
should have the, rates proposed by
Mr.. Scott, of the railroad commission.
Cotton from the territory surround
ing Hattiesburg is generally shipped
through New Orleans, or if shipped to
the East the rate is based on the wa
ter rate out of New Orleans.
Cotton that is hauled by wagon to
Hattiesburg moves out at a through
rate of $500 per bale, or so cents for
COMPRISING and $3.50 freight.
On cotton reaching Hattiesburg by
rail, the through rate is $2.25, or so
cents for COMPRISING and s..75
freight.
