CULTIVATION OF CAMPHOR
IN THE UNITED STATES

Washington, Nov. 15.--,The extensive
use OF camphor by the industries of the
United States and the active interest In
the foreign sources OF supply have led
the bureau Of manufactures Of the de-
partment OF commerce and labor to
make an Investigation of its produc-
ton.
The cultivation of camphor in the
United States is in an experimental
stage.
at present there are about 500 acres
of trees planted, but owing to the ia
vorable showing the area Is rapidly in
creasing. Sufficient time has not
elapsed to bring American camphor on
tho market. but small quantities are
likely to be produced within three or
four years.
Crude. refined and synthetic camphor
valued at $3.2279S7. was imported into
the United States during the last three
years. Camphor is used extensively in
the conversion of celulonltrate into
ccluloid. an important item In the pyr-
oxyln plastic industry of the country
In 1908 there were five Of these indus
tries. with 4 capital of IS 63?.5l6, an
output valued at s4,I95.I57 and afford

H. H. Rogers, 22nd Regiment, N.
G. s N. Y, Predicts Japan Will
Make War on America.
POINTS OUT NATIONS NEEDS
Must Have n Great Army, and Country
Should Have Compulsory Service
For Young Men.

New York, Nov. it'll. II. Rogers.
whose hobby Is the study OF military
AFFAIRS. has just returned to New York
from Il long trip of observation in the
army centcrs of France and Germany.
He brought home with him the un-
pleasant prediction that Japan VIII
provoke n war with the United States
some time before the Panama canal IS
opened for business. This Is not only
the belief of Mr.. Rogers, but the con-
census Of opinion. he says, of the milf
tary men whom he met during his visit
OF seven months abroad.
Mr.. Rogers is q captain In the Twen-
ty-second regiment Of the national
guard Of New York. While abroad. he
talked With officers from the lowest
ranks to the highest and found them
all of the belief that the United States
would be dragged into war with Ja-
pan and that the United States would
be badly beaten in the fight.
Summing up what he had Cleaned
abroad. Mr.. Rogers said.
."rhey have n high regard for the
strength and the clever fighting ability
of our navy. and so have the Japanese,
but they look upon our army as joke.
The foreign military men say, 1t is too
small to he of any use. Japan Is not
anxious to get into u war with us just
now, while II great war debt Is still
hanging over her. but she Is making q.
desperate effort to pay 1t off quickly
and will make loans again to carry
through fight with us.
",rhc control of the Pacific Is between
her and us and she means to get II.
Notwithstanding all this recent peace
talk In Japan, that nation Is going TO
strike and strike before the Panama
canal is opened.
''Thc United States has a good infan-- $
try but II Is not prepared for war. ~
my ambition to ,see this country ade-
lq,iately so prepared. In thc}first place,
we have not enough trained men to put
in the field. We have not nearly enough
moblizing stations.
There Is no question but that the
Japanese could land 100000 trained
fighting men on the Pacific coast before
we could. Unless we undertake to es-
tablish good big standing army
quickly we!willgbe beaten in an engage
smentsSyith the Japanese. Another M
iportai1t ahorteoining that must not be
overlooked is tho fact thar we are US
ing War tactics 200 years old.
1--WE need the universal military serv-
les. We should have q compulsory
service OF three years for young men"
