Japan wants commerce and not war;
The relations between Japan and the
United states has been most cordial
on the part of Japan. Many Japanese
young men have graduated from Har-
ward, Yale, Johns Hopkins and other
American colleges and universities and
this mas brought Japan and the Unit
ed States into very close relationship
with each other. The United States
feet was received very cordially by the
Japanese. 1t was only a matter of Jap
anese politeness that they had a fleet
of equal size in the harbor at the time
to welcome the United States fleet.
was in Japan all of the time that the
Japanese government was preparing to
receive the United States fleet and it
was the unanimous opinion of the peo-
pie TO express and show their good
VIII towards the United States. There
is yellow journalism in Japan the same
as there is in the United States and
these papers frequently misquoted each
other and IT was the reading of these
papers that created what little feeling
of hostility there was in both cOun-
tries
The number of immigrants coming
from Japan to the United States is
rapidly decreasing. More are returning
every day to Japan than are arriving,
and Japan is sending her cOolie class
to Marchuria with the intention of
settling it so that there will be no fear
of a war with Russia. Travelled
through Manchuria last fall and every
person | saw with the exception of
those in my own party, were Japs. AS
Japan is very small country, it has
got to have an outlet and probably Jap
an is patterning after England some
what in this respect
THE development of the country has
been most remarkable. Japan's credit
at the close of the war was very low.
but now credit is being restored and a
large number of small manufactures
are being rapidly developed.
"rhe Japs are often condemned for
their dishonesty in business dealings.
Business under the old regime was de-
spised and merchants were considered
lower than farmers and consequently
commercial honesty was below par,
but now through the press and the
schools the idea is to inculcate homes
tv and that it must be the policy in
all business transactions.
Mission work has probably been de-
velopcd. more in japan than in any
country in the Orient. Acceptances are
found everywhere whether the people
are Christians or not. The Emperor
made donation of $4,000 to the Y. NJ.
c. A. and another donation of like
amount to an orphanage which was
conducted by Christians. In the Impe-
rial Diet. corresponding to our Con-
9ress, IA of the members are Christians.
A prominent Japanese writer is author
ty for the statement that in 80 wears
Japan will be as much of a Christian
nation as England and America are
to-day"

DEPARTMENT LEAGUE
AVERAGES TO DATE
"Aggies" Ahead in Team Bat
ting, With Post Office a
Close Second.

In the official averages of the Depart
mental League recorded below 1t can
readily be seen why the Agriculture team
is leading the league in the pennant race
The "Aggies'' hold top honors in team
batting with a percentage of .294, which is
% points better than Post Office, which
looms up in second place. Commerce and
Labor. which is trailing Agriculture for
the championship. is five points behind
Post Office. All of the other teams are
closely punched.
The record of stolen bases which has
also been compiled shows Taylor of the
Agriculture team to be leading with a
total of eighteen. His teammate. Muir
ply, Is close behind with sixteen. OF the
twenty players who have stolen seven OF
more bases the "Aggies" are represented
by six, War by three. Commerce and La
Dor by four, Post Office by three while
Treasury. Interior and Navy have one
each. This fact also shows the fine team
which is representing the Agricultural
Department
Orrison First at the Bat.
In the batting line Orrison of the Post
Office team is leading the league, as he
has played in thirteen games for per-
centage of 444. There are a number OF
players above him, but owing TO the fact
that they have participated in from one
to four games, he gets the honor. Nc

ALL ABOUT ONE COLLINS,
THE ATHLETICS PHENOM

NEW YORK, July 1O.-Perhaps no base
ball player Of the present season has
created the stir in professional ranks that
has been brought to the surface by Ed
die Collins, the second baseman of the
Athletics.
Not SO very long ago he was playing
second base for the nine at Columbia
University. He was a good fielder and
a good hitter. but no one believed that
he would develop into batter as strong
as any in the professional circuit.
This year there seems to be no pitcher
whom Collins cannot hit. He doesn't
make apologetic hits. When he meets the
ball 1t is usually on the nose. and If the
fielder isn't smart enough to pick it up
Collins will beat it to first base without
doubt
In addition to being good batter the
young man has improved rapidly as a
fielder and today is one of the fastest sec
ond basemen in the American League
His work is SO good that Mack has been
able to put 4durphy In right field and use
Collins steadily at second, a move which
has been of great advantage to the Ath-
letics. Columbia men are "tickled to
death" with the good showing that Col
Inns has made In the American. League
and predict that by the time the year is
out he will be the star infielder of that
organization.
His years are all in his favor, and he
should be playing good ball for at least
half a decade more. With Davis on one
side Of him and competent shortstop on
the other. Collins and his comrades would
make one Of the fastest trios that ever
shut off base hits in the national game
