The consul general of Japan at New
York, DIR. X. 4fidzumo, In a readable
article in the February number of The
North American Review, describes Jap
ans Crusade on the Use of Opium in
Formosa" When Japan, at the close of
the Chino-Japanese war, found herself
in possession Of the island of Formosa,
she discovered that she was confronting
a very serious problem. For generations
Chinese inhabitants 70 the island had
been using opium; and realizing the de-
leterious effect Of the drug upon the
population, the Japanese government felt
that something had to be done to put
an end to its use. 1t would have been
inhuman to compel those who had been
smoking opium all their lives to discon-
tinue the habit The government deter
mined, therefore, that its effort should
be directed toward preventing the advent
of new recruits into the ranks Of the
smokers, and it provided for the registra-
ton and the licensing of those who
should be permitted to use opium. The
results have been most gratifying, &C,
cording to Mr.. Midzumo, and the prospect
Is that the opium habit win disappear
entirely from the island upon the gradual
disappearance, in the course of nature,
Of the older portion Of the population.
Mr.. Midzumo says:
"As statistics indicate, there are to-
day l27 900 opium smokers in Formosa
and nearly, II not quite, all are the very
aged who have been used to its effects
for many years. 1t is very seldom that
new converts to its use are found since
the introduction of the crusade.
Not what to do, but how to do 1t, il
the question that confronts those who
would forever eliminate the obnoxious
and the hurtful from Formosa. The
present need is rigidly to enforce regis
tration. and to keep established q license
system for those addicted to the use of
opium, thereby combining its use to those
who could not subsist without it. For
the present generation and those on
coming, the superior advantages for the
development of higher civilization that
are everywhere being gradually intro
duced, aided by such precautions as the
so-called gradual prohibition project in
wolves, offer every assurance, based upon
definite facts, that ere long the wretched
habit of the abuse OF opium in the island
of Formosa will be a forgotten tradi-
ton"

TO PROTECT AMERICANS
Cruisers North Carolina and Montana
Are Ordered to Turkey

Washington, April 21.-To afford
all protection possible to American
citizens and their interests in Turkey >,
the administration has decided to de-
spatch a special cruiser squadron to
that country.
This was decided upon by the cabi-
net Tuesday and after it's adjournment
announcement of the intention was
made public. 1t was explained that
this action was not taken because
of any particularly alarming news
that had been received, but simply as
a precautionary measure. The moral
effect of the presence of American war
vessels will be very beneficial, it is
pointed out.
The squadron will consist of the
armored cruisers North Carolina and
Montana, now at Guantanamo, Cuba
under command of Captains Marshal
and Reynolds, respectively. Their
immediate objective point will be
Alexandretta, on the Mediterranean
coast of Turkey, which is in close
proximity to Tarsus and Adana, where
serious trouble has occurred.

BY A TUNNEL ROUTE
Robbers Enter and Rob Bank After
Long and Tedious Job

Suffolk, Va, April 21.-Tunnell-
ing their way under four other build
ings to reach the vaults, robbers
gained admission to the Bank of Suf-
folk and escaped safely, carrying away
with them a large amount of loose
currency, gold and silver, and leaving
no clue as to their identity.
1t is thought that the thieves must
have spent at least ten days in reach
ing the bank by their underground
course. They ATTEMPTED to break open
the vault but did not succeed in this.
They secured about $500.
Inside the tunnel were found empty
bottles, cigar stumps and bits of food.
which makes it evident that the rob-
bers must have spent considerable
time in the tunnel.
