JAPAN WAR AND FINANCES.

The Herald has never been disturb
ed over possible war with Japan at
II is time and now the country gen.
orally is becoming settled down and
arriving at the same conclusion and
with newspapers showing the reasons
why there will be no war, the pub
lie should rest in peace. At the time
the war scare was on, says the Den
YER News, the mikado was trying hard
to raise loan of $35,0O0,000 in Paris,
for which he was willing to pay G
per cent, a crushing rate for a poor
country already overburdened with
debt. AS matter of fact, Japan, at
the close of her war with Russia, was
all but bankrupt, and, but for the
interference of Roosevelt at the psy-
Geological hour, Russia would have
won inevitably. Roosevelt forced
peace just at the time Japan needed
it most, because of her financial pow
erty
Japanese laborers are paid only
si.25 week, and of this they have
to pay one-twelfth in taxes to the i'm
perial government. The national debt
of the ''Flowery kingdom" is placed at
S2,700, 100000, or over two thirds
greater than the debt of the United
States, and this debt of ours is large
ly for bonds for the Panama canal and
to secure the national banks in their
circulation. Japan's A 1-2 per cent
bonds are selling for about $50 each,
while an American A per cent bond is
worth S1,114 in any market in the
world
War is most expensive luxury for
any country, most of all for ma
ton whose finances are seriously Grip
pied. Japan may have few good
dreadnoughts and some army corps of
fine fighting men, but both ships and
men must be fed with food and am
munition. If the money for them is
not available, they must starve, and it
is well established conviction of mil
itary campaigning that no soldier can
fight well, if at all, on an empty stom-
aci,. So, with those facts in view,
there is hot the slightest danger that
Japan is hankering for scrap with
America. She is too busy trying to
borrow eating money in the financial
centeis of the world.

SOCIETY
}. :. II II Il u II n Il II II u n II :. =

The Missionary society of the First
Baptist church met Friday afternoon
at the home of Mrs. T. E. Peterson.
This society has the distinction of
being the oldest missionary society
in Durango, and has forty-six names
enrolled. Each member has been very
active and enthusiastic in both home
and foreign missions. After the open
ing Mrs. Bailey, the president, read
the 18th Psalm.
Miss Mary Sites had charge of the
lesson and her topic, Missions" prov
ed to be most interesting and prof
liable one. Mrs. Dobbins read a
short article, "At Americas Chief
Gateway" that was highly appreci-
ated. Miss Bertha Peterson gave a
description of the girls Industrial
home at Angole, India, that is sue
cessfully managed by Miss Bertha
Evans, the missionary sent out by
Colorado in 1911. Another pleasing
feature was reading by Mrs. o. F.
Boyle which was listened to through
out with wrapt attention by all pres
ent. The readings and discussions
were interspersed with singing and
prayer as the society has decided to
make it, not only social, but a more
devotional gathering.
Many more interesting meetings
are promised in the future as the
new mission magazine is in close
touch with all foreign countries and
people. After delicious refreshments
were literally served to all the gath
ering disbursed.

events today there was no untoward

happening. Less than score OF ex-
ira police were assigned to "cover''
the games, and that number was sent
to keep the older ones who went to
see the games off the field and not
tc keep order among the 10000 young
dynamos of energy who went through
their PAGES with as much zest and
form as any band of mature athletes
ever displayed at Olympic games or
less notable affairs.
In the great demonstration of to-
day was found an outlet for that ener-
gy which, prior to the organization of
the league, went into rock battles in
the streets, the chasing of stray cats
and dogs and the planning of innu-
merable forays on gardens and the
pestering of go-cart merchants and
small goods grocers who had the te-
merity to display too ostentatiously
their fruits and raw edibles.
The same muscles which formerly
were used in snowballing hapless Chi
namen or overturning ash and gar
bage cans, today were skilfully
brought into play in healthy competi-
tions in running, jumping, ball play
ing and other contests. One of the
members of the committee in charge
of the games, speaking of the or
ganization of the league, and the vast
amount of work and patience expend-
ed in achieving the success which has
crowned the work today said:
81 was boy myself in New York,
and attended school here. am not
confessing my age but | will admit
that it was some years ago. There
was no such thing as organized sport
for the boys when l went to school
and naturally the boys drifted into
lawless habits to expend their surplus
energies. The worst part of it was
that the anaemic boy had no chance
for physical development.
"A boy in the old days was either
a member of de gang or he wasn't
The Public School Athletic league has
changed all this. While the healthy
boy is generally the one who wins
the medals at the school meets, the
boy who really needs physical deve1-
opment gets it and is bettered by it.
The boys are studied closely and if
they are fit physically to take part in
the more strenuous athletic contests
they are train for them. If not,
they are trained for the contests which
will do them the most good. The plan
has worked out well and boys who
started in school weak physically are
today competing with the boys who
have always been robust and strong.
IL is the system of athletic training
not the old fashioned dumb bell ex-
ercises or wand drills that were so
irksome-that has fitted these former
ly physically week lads to compete
with the boys who were more fortu-
nate in having been started with bet
ter physiques.
Naturally we are very proud of
the work we have accomplished. The
street corner and corner lot gangs of
old are practically unknown through
out New York today. And the beauty
of it all is that the system of ath-
letics we give the boys is not COM
pulsory. On the other hand it is up
to the athletic instructor to keep the
recalcitrant boy in line in the matter
of his studies for if he is behind
the average of scholarship fixed he
cannot take part in the athletic con-
tests which have worked such wonders
for the 10000 who are competing here
in Central park today"
