NEW HUE FOR LETTER BOXES.
Postmaster General Orders That Red
Paint Be Abolished.

Red is to be dispensed with as the Off
cial color for letter boxes. Action to this
effect was taken today by the Postmaster
General when he signed an order re-
voking the one promulgated by former
Postmaster General Hitchcock February
p, which provided that either vermillion
or coach red be used in painting city let
ter boxes, package boxes, combination
boxes and letter box posts.
For several weeks. it is explained, let
ters have been coming to the Post Office
Department protesting against the use OF
red in this connection, because the color
has caused confusion to the public owing
to the fact that red is the generally
adopted color for the fire alarm boxes,
trash boxes and other receptacles.
Green will probably be adopted as the
official color for the letter boxes.

CONDEMN WAR TALK
AT BIG TOXIC MEETING.
Speakers Demand Equal
Treatment, However, for
Japanese People.

TOXIC. May 17.-Irresponsible war talk
was condemned by most of the speakers
at a mass meeting today. organized by
an association representing partly bus;-
ness and partly educational interests, at
which some parliamentary representa-
tives were also present.
The speeches made by the majority of
the educational representatives were in
contrast to other addresses sober and con-
servative They gave expression to con-
fi6ence that the Americans will side with
the Japanese if the Japanese steadfastly
Equal Treatment Urged.
1t was. however, declared that the time
had arrived when the Japanese must be
given equal treatment with other peoples
and the speakers condemned the stand of
the whites in the world against the color
ed races, the instance being given of the
lynching of negroes in the southern
states.
Prof. Nagai of Waseda University. in
the course of his address said.
God made the white and the colored
peoples equal. Unless we claim eoua1
ity We shall fail to carry out Gods
wishes
This was received with cheering.
Sympathy With United States.
LONDON. May 17-"Should war
break out the sympathies Of Australia
New Zealand and western Canada
would be violently on the side of the
United States" says the Pail Mail
Gazette today in discussing the Cali
fornia land ownership controversy.
The newspaper considers that it
would be grave mistake to under
estimate the chances of a conflict be-
tween the United States and Japan If
says:
The opinion that the JAPANESE will
never go to war to enforce their treaty
rights in California is one OF those
dangerous generalities which lead ma
tions blindfold to the brink of the
pit"
The Pail Mall Gazette expresses the
opinion that there are several reasons
why Japan may be desirous Of forcing
the issue at the present moment. The
most obvious of these is the pending
opening OF the Panama canal. while q
more remote one is connected with tho
condition of her internal politics. The
article continues:
The point at issue-the exclusion of
Asiatics from permanent settlement-
touches the British empire very near
ly."
