JAPAN EDUCATES
 MEN TO COMMERCE
Her Object is to Control fine Trade of the Pacific, Says International Secre. tary Colton.
Dinner of Foreign Department of Bridge. port Y. M. (. A. al Stratfield Last Night Brings Interesting Facts Re. garding Oriental Countries.

The Japanese government is educat- ing thousands of it's youths to com merce in this country thousands are educated to the professions. The ob- ject of the Japanese is to control the trade of the Pacific. So said E. T. Cotton, of New York City, Interna- tional secretary of the foreign depart ment of the Young Mems Christian Association, which now has g branch eS in thirteen countries and S2 secre- taries abroad. MT. Cotton was speaker at the dinner of the Foreign Department of the Bridgeport Y. M. c.
 A.. which was held in the Stratfield, last night. The addresses were devot- ed almost entirely to the work that is
 being done by the foreign department in China and Japan. Lucien T. War. ner, presided.
 MT. Cotton described the morals pre- vailing among Asiatic people, and the impure lives great numbers of Asiat-
 ics lead. It was true, he said. that not many of the British, Americans and
 Germans who go to China and Japan refrain from the same gross sins that are native to the population about them.
 An interesting speaker was c. V. Hubbard. When the Y. M. C. A. eS- tablished q branch with the Japanese Army in Manchuria the soldiers were hostile to the work They thought because the men connected with the WOrk were CnrlSLldnS that they were Russians.
 The photograph broke the ice. The soldiers listened to the strange instru- ment reeling out songs of their native land. and made up their minds that the Russian Spy theory would not hold water. This and many other stories of the work in Japan was related by MT. Colton. Much prejudice was over come when the branch became barber to the soldiers, cutting the hair of 16o men in a day sometimes. The Mikado was pleased with the work of the association that he made it a dona- ton of $5,O0O after the war was over, and this did much to solidify the work in the affections of the people, as it was a very unusual thing for the emperor to contribute to a private cause.
 This evening, at Y. M C. A. build ing c. T. Wang, a native Chinaman, P. l.. GilIet, and MT. Hubbard will speak upon the work in foreign lands. |
