No Longer Need Colonies
1t has not been many years since Ger
many's crying need was for colonies,
which would keep her surplus population
under the flag. The enormous industrial
development of the country in recent
years has changed this and now there is
a very considerable immigration into
the country. Statistics recently published
by the government, show that on less
than 100000 foreigners are living in Ger
many While in France and in other
countries the foreign element is mainly
composed of wealthy people looking for
their own pleasure, the Immigrants to
Germany are mostly interested in COM
merce, industry and agriculture in which
branches they find a better field than in
their own country
Aid for German Writers
The will of the noted author, DR..
Johannes Fastonrath, who died recently
in Cologne, contains legacy of $4,000
which is to be kept as fund, the yearly
interest of which will be granted to writ
ers in the German language, of both sex,
as who distinguish themselves. No re-
striction is put on nationality religion,
social or political color, the main purpose
being that of encouraging strong literary
special inquiry made In order to find
out from what classes German army Off
GERS came, show that 81 per cent of the
whole number of German officers belong
to families given to agriculture, 81 per
cent are sons of subaltern officers and
clerks, 10 per cent come from business
people. while the remainder Is composed
of sons of officers, government employe
and professional men. From the data it
appears that the majority of officers be-
long to professional families.
There has been much discussion In Ger
many about the billion mare-$250 O00, 900
more that German taxpayers have to
contribute in order to keep the army on
the proposed standard and the newspapers
publish statistics to show what the
amount of money means. A million
marks weight is in silver; 100000 kilo-
erammes, in 1000 mark bank notes; 1900
kilogrammes in 100 mark bank notes; H.
500 kilogrammes.
For the transportation of this money,
granting that a man is able to carry 100
kiiogrammes, it would be necessary to
employ Is men if it be In 1000 mark bank
notes, lis men in 100 mark bank notes,
5225 men if the money would be in gold,
$4,000 men if in silver, In 1000 mark bank
notes it would form 1000 volumes of 500
leaves each.

WISH TO LOCATE A
Jap PANESE COLONY
ON AMERICAN COAST
Expedition Will Visit the
Pacific COast-Sakatani
Seeks New Industries
for. Toxic

Toxic, August 16-Scrutiny of the Pacific
coast of North and South America and
the South Sea Islands for the promotion
of productive colonization, is the an
nouneed object of the Japan Exploration
society recently formed for the general
purpose of inaugurating Japanese explor-
alton The first expedition will leave in
September for a two years cruise on a
115-ton schooner. The course for the
cruise includes the Izu and the Bonin Is
lands, the South Sea Islands, the coast of
Brazil and Chile, and the Pacific shores
of North and South America The schoon-
er will then visit Cuba and the coast of
Africa, and later make her way through
the Mediterranean Sea. On the home
ward trip she will touch at several points
in India and Australia. S. Takeda, a
graduate of the Japanese Nautical col
lege and a seasoned sailor, will be the
captain of the little vessel
The Exploration society is composed of
a number of influential Japanese, and it
enjoys the support of Fleet Admiral Ito.
A bigger and buster industrial Toxic is
the dream of Baron Sakatani, mayor of
the capital of the Japanese empire. Osa-
ka, great industrial city to the south, has
made giant strides as world port, and
Mayor Sakatani is anxious that Toxic
should show more rivalry to Osaka, Whlch
he calls the Manchester of Japan.
The baron Is convinced that China offers
a great field for Japanese enterprise, and
that the commercial development of To-
l1io is necessary SO that Japan may take
advantage of this field Manchuria and
Corea also loom up as possibilities for in
creased Japanese commerce, but in order
to get this trade Toxic must devise some
more convenient means of transportation
than by by Kobe or Tsuruga. The first
step, the mayor thinks, should be the
opening of a new port at Naoyetsu, in
Echigo, north of Toxic. In its CONNER
cial development Toxic suffers from the
disadvantage of higher wages and more
extravagant habits of living. Toxic has
been city of consumption rather than
production, and it is the national center
Of ease and pleasure.
Everything comes to Toxic" Mayor
Sakatani says, but seldom is anything
sent from Toxic elsewhere. The disad-
vantages to be overcome are the high
cost of fuel and labor. If Toxic is to Sc
cure the Chinese field for her manufac-
lures we will have to improve our system
of water communication and settle va
rious phases of the local labor question.
Since the revolution in China the de-
mand for foreign manufactures has grown
enormously. and Japan should be in a po-
sition to take her share, according to
Mayor Sakatani. An important step to
that end is the making of Toxic greater
cultivation of the friendship of China by
promoting mutual understanding between
the merchants of both countries.

was a man of some means, was work

to St. Luke's hospital for treat
ment. Before the day was over,
however, Falls developed rabies,
and through the night he raved and
barked and attempted to bite his
nurses. His sufferings were so great
that It became necessary to put him
in a straight jacket, in which he
was held until the hour OF death
