celebrating Christ's birthday. The
Times Dispatch agrees that the hoh-
day season IS a sad time TO add 10

beauty and dignity should be the sym

AGITATION AGAINST
THE UNITED STATES

VANCOUVER, 3, c., Sept 19.-An
agitation against the present attitude OF
the United States on the sealing question
In the Pacific is being carried on by sew
eral newspapers In Japan. according to
advices received here.
The Osaka Mainichi expresses wond er
that the Japanese government stil re-
mains silent regarding the 'audacious
attitude" OF the United States govern
ment In dealing with the fur seal treaty
as regards the proposal TO reduce the
prohibitive period against sealing from
ten years to five.
Several Japanese newspapers publish
dispatches from Washington In which the
opinion is expressed that the United
States is violating the spirit Of the treaty
and that Japan would be justified In
filing protest.
