JAPAN's ACTION "uncIvILIzEo."
Bounty on Fur Seal so Declared by
President of Leland Stanford.

San Francisco, Sept. 10.--The Japan
csc have disregarded every information
al law in regard to the killing Of fur
bearing animals. according to David
Starr Jordan, president of Leland
Stanford university.
In an address he delivered at the
closing session of the annual conven-
ton of the State Humane association
of California, he said:
. "Japan's action is an unciviliZed one.
/ would not say that Japan is an I'M
civilized nation, but its attitude in re-
gard to the killing Of seals has been
one of the greatest affronts offered to
American civilization. The bounty Of
fered by the Japanese of $40 head
for fur bearing seal caught or killed Is
an uncivilized act. They have violat-
ed repeatedly the international law,
which forbids them to hunt or kill seals
within sixty miles of the islands"
DIR. Jordan suggested an interna-
tional game law, which would prevent
robbing the sea OF animals which can
never be restored.

girls who live along the river front as
swimming the English channel is that
