across the little neck Of water between
Japan and Korea but before they
could accomplish this purpose the Rus
SLAMS were down upon them.
There is no belligerent spirit
against the United States. When the
trouble broke out in San Francisco
the Japanese people were more hurt
than angry. They were hurt because
they felt that the United States was
their friend and could not understand
it's attitude. They excused everything
on the ground that the uprising in
San Francisco because Japanese
students were allowed in the schools,
was due to certain class of people
who are always causing trouble. a
factional fight, you might call 1t. They
have their troubles with this class Of
people and forgave the act of exclu-
sion of the Japanese. The statements
in the press about Japan being behind
the Mexican trouble Is merely politics
over battleship building.
Has Big Influence.
Cali of the oriental nations are
.eally being reconstructed through the
influence of Japan. Japan has demon |
strated that it is not impossible for
an Asiatic nation to defeat a European
nation by itself. Japan did it in its
stand against Russia. The countries
Of China, India, Persia, Egypt and Tur-
key are being reconstructed. China
has now definitely entered upon a
course of reconstruction as did Japan.
She has proclaimed constitution and
has entirely changed her educational
system to the modern education. All
,ivil service appointments depend upon
examinations China and Japan have
each made vast material advances.
"The educational system in Japan
now requires eighteen years. 1t is
said SO per cent of the people can read
and write"

MURRAY TELLSOF
JAPS IN ADDRESS
.oTTUMWAN DEGREES POSSIBILITY
OF WAR WITH JAPAN IN
SPEECHES At DEs MONIES.

Rev. D. A. Murray of this city, a
missionary to Japan, made light of the
possibilities of warfare between the
United States and Japan, declaring
that the sturdy Japs were too much
engaged in commercial lines to stop
and open a conflict with this nation.
Mr.. Murray made two addresses while
in Des Moines of which the Register
and Leader. has the following to say:
Japan is not hostile to America, nor
is there war cloud headed this way,
says the Rev. D. A. Murray, member
of the faculty of the Presbyterian theo-
logical seminary at Osaka, Japan.
The Rev Mr.. Murray, who has made
study of the political situation in
Japan and the Japan-American politi.
cal attitude, gave an address yesterday
morning at Westpinister Presbyterian
church and at the Cottage Grove Ave
nue. Presbyterian church in the
evening.
Japan is such commercial nation
as to prohibit any possibility of war
between Japan and the United States
said the Rev. Mr.. Murray yesterday
afternoon discussing Japan as a ma.
ton.
Move Impossible.
IS do not for one minute believe
that Japan has anything to do with the
trouble in Mexico. 1t is simply out
of the question because of their
friendly attitude toward this country.
The Japanese argue in this connection
that it would be impossible for them
to send their troops to this country.
They attempted to get their army

Plan Applied to Renting

Davenport, May s.-"Co-operative
renting" is subject in which many
Davenport real estate dealers and
agents are interested. A local dealer
said yesterday:
Sin many other cities the house
renting problem has been solved by
applying department house methods to
the real estate business" he said.
Zone of these methods is to list large
numbers of houses and concentrate
them in one office.
zone city in the middle west has
what is called multiple agency sys-
tenn Every property listed with one
agent is Immediately listed with every
other agent. These lists are changed
daily and are thus kept fresh and up
to date The volume of rental bust
ness transacted between these agents
has grown from nothing to a daily
total that is amazing even to the
agents themselves. This system, to
some extent, will be adopted by the
Davenport real estate board"
