phenomenal Industry was newly devoted
to the consideration or the most vital

not foresee II at the beginning. to be a
member of the court during a period
when more questions of far-reaching ma
tional Importance We're 10 be passed upon

Gliding case before the chief Justice
designates who shall write the opinion. Is
in the consultation room behind closed
doors. There each labors with a sinPIe-

DESIRES OF JAPAN
No Intention to Encroach on
the Rights of Others.
ASSERTION OF MINISTRY
Semi Official Announcement Made to
the Resident Diplomats at Tokyo
Relative to Empires Policy.
correspondence of Associated Press.

Correspondence OF Associated Press.
TOXIC. Wednesday, November "a, 1909.
1T is not Japans desire or Japan's in
tention to encroach upon the rights of
others. or to win way in the world by
swashbuckling." This is the position of the
mikados government as made clear in
semi-official statements which have just
been issued to the resident diplomats
here. Japan. the ministry frankly de-
clares. has gone through a period Of bit
ter experience and her statesmen have
profited by that experience. The clearing
of the atmosphere will, it is believed.
make Japan's situation among the ma
tions an easier one, and will tend to re-
lieve the suspicious which the people of
the United States and other powers have
sometimes entertained as to Japan's in
ternational intentions.
Post-Bellum Chauvinism.
Immediately following the war;" says
the spokesman for the Japanese govern
ment, in making clear the present posi-
ton and policy Of his nation, there was
a widespread leavon q bombast and the
mass of people were inclined to wave the
sword and shout of great deeds done and
desire on the part of the ruling forces
to encourage this, but the sentiment of
the outside world was aroused against
Japan because OF this Chauvinistic ele-
ment.
1T may be said that 1t took two years
at least for the governing forces in Ja-
pan to realize fully the danger of this
spirit, which pervaded the empire.
Development Japan's Aim.
But, having once come to a full ap-
probation of 1t. every effort was made
to disabuse the mind of the mass of the
Japanese and show not only to the peo-
pie Of Japan but to the outside world
that it was the intention of this country
to develop her own resources peacefully
to reduce expenditures upon army and
navy to q minimum consistent with the
upkeep Of the present standard and to
show to all countries that Japan has no
desire to encroach upon others.

fifteen bushels. With 6.300,0OO acres
and fifteen -bushel yield, the crop,
Mr.. Smith says, will be 95, 900, 600

of the state.
Black rust. of which there have
been several reports. received from the
wheat fields. is confined to a small
area south of Lidgerwood, N. d., COM
prising a territory of approximately
three townships. In these three
Townships several fields have been
damaged. Aside from that there Is
