In a month he has gained two inches

oKUMA SEES FOREIGN ENVOY.
Says That Western Nations Are
Jealous of Japan.

Special Cabegram to The Star.
TOXIC, March 23.-Discussing the inter-
national situation in the columns Of the
Yomiuri. Count Okuma points out that
there are two important things to be noted
by the Japanese people. One is that the
western nations are casting an envious
eye upon the unprecedentedly rapid strides
made by Japan in arms and civilization
The other is that Europeans are enter
tanning fears that Japan may one day
join hands with China, and are there
fore doing their best to keep the two
countries separated.
Another noteworthy feature is that
England. as Japan's ally. is now regarded
by the western nations as a traitor to the
white race. In that she assists Japan in
every respect. The anti-Japanese move
ment on the Pacific slope and the recent
announcement made by the kaiser in re-
gard to the German naval policy are all
the outcome of antagonistic sentiments
against England and Japan. AS to the
anxiety in regard to future combination
between China and Japan, signs are not
wanting that some powers are even now
using their influence in China to sever the
relations between the two nations

New Chance for the Birds.

From the Technical World Magazine.
High above the marshy wastes which
border the klamath lakes in southern
Oregon lone white heron winged his
desolate flight month ago. his beady
telescope eyes turned now right. now
left, while from his needle pointed beak
dismal and discordant cries sounded a
requiem for the departed members of his
kind, for he was alone in the world-the
sole survivor of a once proud family.
On broad pinions the snowy survivor OF
a former legion foated to the east and
then TO the west; the far-seeing eyes
searching vainly each stretch of lake,
land or sedgy waste for a familiar patch
of white which would betoken the pres
ence of father, mother. mate, chick or
friend but he saw none, for President
Roosevelt had been too late in setting
aside the Klamath district as a national
bird reserve and the delay had sealed
the fate of the white heron family.
But one is left. according to the officials
Of the United States land Office and of
the National Association of Audubon So
cieties: just one white sample remaining
of myriad thousands of one of the most
beautiful of all native birds: the cruel
decree of fashion having brought about so
savage a butchery and so persistent a
hunt for white plumage that biological
historians will, In future works record
the melancholy fact that in the year \. D.
1908 the white heron followed the great
aux over the dismal trail that stretches
backward TO the ages that are gone
If President Roosevelt had only signed
that executive order one year ago-or even
six months-the heron would have been
saved, but he signed 1t in September and

Self-Assertion as an Asset.

From Success Magazine.
We often hear it said that If youth
has ability people will find It out with
out being told: that If he has merit, 1t
will come out; but we see on every hand
young men and women with splendid
ability. with good education and fine
training. out of situations, or in very
ordinary ones. simply because they lack
that aggressiveness which pushes its way
to the front. They are conscious that
they have ability. and they are just wait
ing for somebody to recognize 1t and to
push them ahead.
Working right beside them are others
with. perhaps. less ability. but with that
aggressive, ambitious spirit which at
tracts attention and carries them on past
their more modest and retiring friends.
In this electric country of push and hurry
and drive. people are too busy to inves-
tigate merit or mere worth which does
not exhibit itself or force its way for
ward. The American people believe in
the man who claims something. who as
sumes to stand for something, who asserts
himself; for this assertion Is evidence OF
that progressiveness which is SO essential
to success. II man make no claims,
people take it for granted that he does
not believe i'm himself. But the man who
asserts himself believes he can do the
thing he undertakes, creates confidence:
and the employer is looking for the man
who has program and who believes he
can carry it out. He is looking for re-
suits and men who can achieve them.
The fine-grained, sensitive youth feels
that it is immodest, unbecoming to push
his way forward. to attract attention to
his ability to tell what lie can do; but
while he is waiting for the world to dis
cover his merit, and to help him on, the
aggressive boy beside him has pushed his
way to the position above him.

NO AGREEMENT WITH ENGLISH
GERMAN SECRETARY EXPLAINS
NAVAL PLANS.
Neither Country Has Made Direct
Proposition Looking to the Linn
itation Of Ship Building.

BERLIN, March 23.-Herr Won Schoen,
the secretary for foreign affairs. in a
speech in behalf Of Chancellor vor
Buelow before the budget committee OF
the reichstag today explained that during
the informal pourparlers which had &C.
CURED between England and Germany
concerning the extent and cost of the
naval programs of the two countries
Great Britain gave Germany to under
stand that she was ready to enter into
an understanding Of the subject. but in
the course of informal conversation au-
thoritative English and German officials
never made any direct proposition which
could be regarded as basis of official
negotiation.
Therefore Germany never took up a po-
sition In the matter.
The foreign secretary said that Chancel-
Tor Won Buelow's statement December 1(
last to the reichstag made clear Ger
many's position on the question of the
universal limitation of naval ornaments
and his remarks still hold good as be-
tween single powers. Germany'S naval
program was settled by law and was
purely for necessary defense and not a
threat against any nation whatsoever.
The members of the budget committee
unanimously expressed the hope that
German and British relations would con-
tinue to develop in friendly spirit, and
not be disturbed by the existing ex-
element over naval construction. Herr
Won Schoen said this also was the de-
sire of the whole German nation.
The budget committee Of the reichs ag
has decided to report the governments
naval estimates to the house No
changes have been made in the main
features Of the estimates. which provide
for three Dreadnoughts and one large
cruiser.
Referring to the subject of interna-
tional restriction of naval ornaments
Chancellor Won Buelow said in the reich
stag last December that Germany always
had regarded such restriction as extreme
ly desirable, but the government doubted
the practical feasibility of the idea, and
it did not believe the present was an OPP
perfume them to carry on a fruitless d s.
cussion-of Germany's naval armament.
The chancel or EXPIRE sed the opinion
that from the very moment Germany de-
cided to reduce her military equipment
below the level required by her position
in Europe the foreign relate of the en-
pire would become grave and peace would
be seriously threatened.
