news LETTER
FROM TOXIC

Tokyo, Aug. 2.-Japan has opened a
10000 savages of the island of For
mosa, better known as "head hunters,
who have refused to submit to the
domination of Japan. When Japan was
coded Formosa. in 1895 at the conclu-
sion Of the war with China, the
head hunters, so named because of
their custom of bringing human heads
to all ceremonies, numbered about
1901 600, but successive campaigns and
peace overtures' by the Japanese have
now limited them to the Taruco tribe,
the widest of all, who inhabit the rug
ged and precipitous mountains near
the eastern coast. The present Japan
csc force Of s~ubjugation comprises g.
600 men, made UP of native troops and
h police force of the island. It is
divided into two columns and is in
charge of General Sakuma, the gov
arnor-general Of Formosa.
The Taruco tribesmen came from
the Malay peninsula and are the oldest
known Inhabitants of Formosa. They
practice a rude kind of agriculture,
wear scarcely any clothing, and live in
wood and bamboo .huts on the heights
Of almost inaccessible mountains.
They. fight from the tops of~trees, and
the campaign against. them will be ex-
ceedtngly. dangerous. The suhiugation
IN the past has been largely carried on
by constructing electrically charged
wire fences, gradually extended into
the savage district, until the dominion
Of the head hunters was restricted to
the mountains which must now be as
sailed. The. Japanese hope to make
peaceful farmers out of those who are
left at the end Of the present expedi-
ton. ~. Il
A notable contribution to the discus
sion of the relation of the west to the
east, opened Up by the Californian Ian
bill agitation, has been made by Count
Okumas the grand old man Of Jaoan,"
who declares that Japan's future sue
cess depends upon her development If
foreign intercourse.
Count Okuma writes of this problem
In a volume fresh from the press. The
statesman constantly uses the word
"taisei', meaning trend. tendency, cur
rent or movement. Dividing history
into the ante-medieval and post
medieval periods, the writer points out
that in the former period oriental rae
es overran Europe, while in the latter
European races invaded the oriental
world. This pulsation, or movement Of
races, Count Okuma calls the 'taisei'',
or tendency of history.
Three successive a have swept
Japan. The first period began with.
Oda Nobunaga, when the Portuguese,
Hollanders, English and other Euro
peans sought intercourse with Japan.
The second was the Russian movement
which began to be felt after $50 years
OF ~seclusion, and the third reached it's
elimination with the coming Of Com
modore Perry from the United States.
The attitude of a country toward this
world tendency decides its fate. The
Count says: ITO follow the taisei is
to rise, and to oppose the taisei means
destruction" This law, he declares,

R|VERS|DES WILL HAVE LANkY
AL WAND AT PIVOT SATURDAY
". H. S. Star 10
Get Try ut
With Locals.

Because OF the irregularity with
which Bill Reynolds has been per-
forming with the Riversides, the city
champions have agreed that their
weakness lies in this department and
have decided to procure another
pivot general upon whom they can
depend at all times except in cases
OF serious injury. After considering
the field of pivot players, it was de-
cided that the services of the lanky
Cap Wand, of Woodbridge, be pro-
cured and he be given a try-out.
Manager Wilentz, of the River
sides, and Wand held a conference
last night in this city and the lanky
high school lad vas signed up" He
was informed of the qualifications he
must meet to be a regular member
of the crew and he showed willing
Tess to perform with the locals.
Captain John McCreery, of the
"Rivies," stated that he was pleased
with Wand's acceptance and felt the
same as the rest Of the Riverside
members, who believed Wand a
Conner
Young, lanky and aggressive,
there is no doubt but that Wand is
fit to be an ideal pivot general. He
handles the pellet in masterful style
and after he receives a few advanced
points about the game it is expected
he will be better than his most opti-
mistic admirers hope. He will no
doubt benefit by the clever coaching
Of Reynolds.
Little is known just now of the
position OF Bill Reynolds with the
Riverside clan. Reynolds has played
on and off with the city champions
throughout the season and has done
little coaching. He will be requested
to coach the locals at every practice
session as the Riverside lads feel his
abilities IN this department surpass
those of any other coach in these
parts.
However, the "Rivies" will not de-
pend upon him to fill the pivot posi-
ton any longer.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1913-02-03

Completely outclassed In the first
period of play, the Riverside basket
ball team found themselves TOO much
in the rear at the beginning of the
final stanza to get more than a
rally at the end of the initial admin
glimpse of victory. Although re
istration was 1913 in favor of the
Point A. c., of Bayonne, the city
champions managed to make the
final score look more respectable by
outpointing their opponents in the
second half. 1913. The result was
30-26.
The Bayonne elan was more form
liable than upon their last appear
ance here when they were defeated
by the locals. The third raUcrS,"
as some critics would have them
termed, were very much alive, eA-
ecuting clever plays and showing
much speed. Coughlin proved the
tower of strength for the visitors
again, working in most of his crews
plays and tallying six goals from the
field.
Lauenstein had the jump on Dun
ham and for this reason, the "Rfy-
les" had to take the defense after
every play was started.

SHOW MICH ENTHUSIASM

That the Franklin baseball nine
will be out with the same strong
material which was seen in its
ranks last season was made certain
at q meeting held Friday night at
the home Of Frank Applegate In
First street. The complete reorgan-
iation for the coming season result
ed in the reelection OF Frank APP
plegate as manager. "Yalla" Peter
son was chosen to captain the
team. Joseph Coley, formerly of
the Saints, a chosen secretary of
the club and Oscar Wilson. the for
mer Marion speed lad, was elected
president of the Franklin cub.
Much enthusiasm prevailed at the
session Friday night and from all
appearances, the team will have an
other banner season. Nothing but
championship talk was heard. And
the Franklin lads lea to annex
the city championship for 1913. OF
course, their eyes are also pinned or
the championship rag for the coun-
ty, although they are not speaking
much of that just now.
"Yalla" Peterson will have his
HTSt term as captain OF MS squad
He will no doubt prove a capable
leader, as he is an experienced ball
player and a wise one. He also is in
a position where it is an easy matter
to give signals and as a backstop
he also is empowered with the job Of
steadying the pitcher, which Is half
OF the leading of a team.
The other officers OF the club and
team are also efficient generals and
for this reason a banner year Is
expected.
