1t goes without saying that in Japan,

ism It is not local, but national.
With him. education Is matter Of
personal ambition, but always with the
ideal OF serving his native land.
The influence that goes far to con.
ceal from the outside observer the
fact that the underlying ideals Of the
Japanese and American student are
much alike is the difference in the
philosophy OF life between the east
and the west.
The philosophy that the Japanese
student learns teaches him to repress
his emotions. to conceal from the
world the evidences Of suffering and
Of Joy. Of love and of hate. The phil.
osophy Of the westerner permits him
to exhibit freely these emotions
But the educated Westerner who can
look below u rface to the human

Japanese gerll has a heart IN his
bosom, even II ,cie of life teaches
him to express Joy and his sor.

FAILED ID REVOKE
 -TAFT'S RECENT ORDER
HOUSE DECLINES TO VOTE NEED ED AMENDMENT TO APPRO-
 PRlATlON MEASURE.

Washington, Jan. 14.-An attempt to revoke President Taft's recent order placing fourth class postmasters under the classified civil service and to remove from classification assist ant postmasters and clerks in first and second class postoffices by an amendment to the postoffice appro- pTiation bill failed in the house to- day. The bill, carrying $27S,4S9, ,7S1, was passed.
 The amendment, offered by Repre- sentative Cullop of Indiana, provided for the revocation of the executive order of October 15, 1912, by which President Taft exempted some 30000 fourth class postmasters from the political job" class. and of the or der of September 30, 1910, which classified assistant postmasters and postal clerks in first and second class offices. was defeated on a roll call vote, Al to 1O6. The Republicans voted solidly against the amendment and they were joined by many Demo- crats.
 An amendment proposed by Repre- sentative Bartlett of Georgia, how ever, prohibiting the payment of per diem expenses to postoffice inspect ors, engaged in Investigating or rec ommending applicants for positions as fourth class postmasters under the new order, was incorporated in the bill by vote of 120 to III.
 An attempt was made by Repre- sentative Murdock of Kansas, aided by Representative Hobson of Ala bama, to place in the bin an amend ment to prevent the carrying through the mails of publications printing liquor advertisements into prohibition states. The amendment was voted down in committee of the whole, and was ruled out of order when the bill appeared in the house.
 The bills show an increase of about $7,000 900 over the postal appropria- tions for the present year, due in part. to the expenses of parcel post.

ECHO OF SINKING OF THE TITANIC IS TO BE HEARD IN
 NEW YORK COURTS.
$lO,OOO,OOO DAMAGES ASKED
Charge is Made That Attorneys of the White Star Line Are Endeavorinu to MisIead Claimants so Theirs
 Claims Will Be OutIawed.

New York, Jan. l4.-Fifty lawyers, wh0 hope to obtain for their clients more than S1O,000,00O damages fos loss of life and property on the steamer Titanic, were arrayed against attorneys for the White Star line in the United States dissriot court today, the expiration Of the time limit set by the court for filing suits. The limit was extended to February Il.
 The White Star line contends that it's entire liability is limited under the United States statutes to less than $l00, ,000-the value of recovered wreckage and passage money. Ameri- can claimants allege that the line cannot claim this limitation, because it was itself responsible for the loss of life by reason of personal negligence If their assertion in this respect is sustained, the claimants will recover full damage. But even if this claim is not upheld the contention of A.. L. Brougham, representing two hun dred claimants, is that the White Star lines liability can only be limited by the provisions of the British law, which would compel the company to pay total damages of about $3,O00,000.
 The law requires that action of damages for loss of life must be be- gun within year of the date of the sinking of the ship, and lawyers op- posing the White Star line charged today that the company was en- deavoring to mislead claimants so that their right to sue would be lost
 Mir Brougham has instituted an ap- peal in the court of appeals where he hopes to determine fully the rights of the death claimants to bring suit for full damages. Because of this ap- peal, the lower court granted todays postponement.

BILL TO INCREASE
 THE SUPREME COURT
PLAN IS TO ADD TWO MORE JUR- lsTs TO THE PRESENT Su-
 PREME COURT BENCH.

Washington. Jan. 14.-A bill to in- crease the size of the supreme court of the United States from nine jus tices to eleven was introduced in the senate today by Senator Gore.
 Under the organization act of 17S7 the court was constituted of chief justice and five associates. In 1907 the associates were increased to six and in 1887 to eight. In 1863 a law was enacted providing for nine asso- ciates Three years later another law was passed to prevent the filling of vacancies until the number of as- siciates had been reduced to six. still, three years later, in 1869, all asso- ciates were provided for.
 The law has not been changed since that date.
 Should two additional associates be added to the ciuTt during a Demo cratic administration, the bench would remain Republican unless an unexpected vacancy should occur. The Demicrats are now credited with Chief Justice White and Justices Lurton and Lamar, while the Hepub- licans are given Justices McKenna. Holmes. Day, vandeventer and Pit ney

 Midnight Tinight.

 The last publication of the vote be- fore the winner is announced shows the leaders more closely punched than at any time during the contest. The surprise will come with the final day for nobody knows what the con- testants have accomplished in the last few days of the canvass. All have carried on their work in their own way and until the final ballot is deposited and the ballot box finally turned over to the judges, just what they have been doing in the way of ' securing votes will be known onlya to themselves and to those who haves been their assistants in the contest. {
 The judges have been chosen, butt their names will not be made publics until the final hour of the contest. Judges will be chosen who have giyens no aid to candidates, who have no personal interest in the contest, and the Sentinel4Record guarantees to- every contestant fair opportunity to win and fair count of the vote.
 1t is the home stretch in the race. The contestants have worked hard and faithfully, and all the live work CTS in the contest deserve to win. The fortunate one to possess the piano is to be congratulated by all. It has been earnest application and ability which has counted in this contest more than popularity of any other feature.
 With only another 24 hours until the winner will be announced, the contestants, their friends and the patrons of the paper who will have shown such a splendid interest in the contest can only wait.
 Today will tell the story The win ner will be announced in tomorriw's paper.

WILSON EXPLAINS
 PROGRESSIVE SPEECH
DID NOT MEAN THAT PROGRES- SlvE REPUBLICANS WERE TO
 BE IN HIS CABINET.

Trenton, N J., Jan. 14.-'1 hope progressive Democrats will be elect ed in every state, said President Elect Wilson today in referring to the contests incident to the election of United States senators in Maine. New Hampshire, Illinois, South Dakota and Tennessee.
 1lhe governor took emphatic ex- ception to editorials and published reports purpor+ing to describe his at titude as preferring the selection Of a progressive Republican in cases where the other alternative would be the choice of "standpat" Democrat.
 The only thing l am interested in, in any state" he said. lis the election of the Democrat"
 In connection with the Maine situa- tion, Mir Wilson was informed of re- ports that farmers who had been urg- ing progressive Republican leglsla- tors to vote for the reelection oi Senator Obadiah Gardner, Democrat, are being told that Mir Wilson wished to appoint Senator Gardner as secre- tary of agriculture.
 There is DO foundation for these reports" said the president-elect. 50 far as I have interested myself it has been for Obadiah Gardner for sena- tor"
 The president-elect was told that his speech yesterday, in which he said he would be acting as q partisan if he picked progressive and only progressives," had caused the inquiry as to whether he meant the progress sive wing of the Democratic party or included in his statement progressive Republicans, as we'll as progressive Democrats.
 T wasn't thinking in specified tions," he said, q was just thinking in tendencies and the state of mind of the country"
 He added that there was nothing novel" in the position he took as progressive policies and action had been championed throughout the country.
 The governor was busy with call CTS. mostly members of the legisla. ture, which convened today. Willard Saulsbury Democratic national com mitteeman from Delaware, took luncheon with the governor.
 Tomorrow Senator Gardner Of Maine has an appointment with Mir. Wilson, but the latter said it had nothing to do with the senatorial con test in that state.

COMMITTEE TO AMEND TARIFF IS AMAZED BY THE ADMs-
 SONS MADE.
COVERS FOREIGN COUNTRIES
Witness Tells Committee That the Agreement Under Which it Oper- ates Was Submitted to Attor-
 ney- General Wickersham.

Washington, Jan 1.-The exis- tence of an international agreement covering the aluminium industry, was revealed at tonights session of the house committee on ways and means. President Arthur V. Davis of the aluminium company Of America, ad- mitted that his company, the only aluminium manufactory in the United States, owned the Canadian Alumi- mum company. which, in turn. had perfect agreements with all of the six or seven foreign aluminium com panies. This agreement, he said, covers all the world except the United States, which he admitted to Repre- sentative lRainey of Illinois, was ex- cepted, because there is law here prohibiting 1t.
 He denied that the company export ed aluminium He agreed with Mir. Palmer that the present capital and surplus is from 12 to 15 times the amount of the new money put into the plant
 MT. Davis admitted that his com pany had made contracts binding it's employees and selling agents not to enter into the business with water power companies, binding them not to furnish power to any other alumi- nun manufacturing company within a certain period
 Admission of existence of this agreement amazed members of the committee, some of whom pointed out that, along with previous testimony regarding foreign trusts in other in. terests, it presented a problem never before faced by tariff making com mittee.
 MT Davis testified that he and his London representative wrote the agreement made by his Canadian plant with all the plants in Europe.
 q submitted the proposed form of the agreement" he said, "to Attor. ney-General Wickersham, and when the agreement was signed, l sent MT. Wickersham copy of it."
 MT. Davis did not say what action the attorney-generaI took in the mat ter.
 But Mir. Wickersham had no cog nizance of this agreement between Canada and the rest of the world, except the United States?n interrupt. ed Representative Palmer
 MT. Davis was asked if he had a copy of the agreement. He said he had not. and said while he personally would have no objection to filing it, he feared the other parties to it might object.
 Mir Davis protested against any re duction of the tariff. which the tenta- tive Democratic platform proposed to cut in half. Asked if he expected more competition, in view of the ex- isting agreement, inc replied that there was competition. though the members of the committee declined to be convinced
 When the committee adjourned at midnight, members expressed the suspicion that the aluminium company of America might be interested in the $10,000,000 being organized in North Carolina, in view of the agreement with European plants.
