Society in London. and an authority on
Anglo, Japanese affairs, says in state
ment that Japan is ready TO furnish a large
army if it is found necessary TO increase
the allied forces in Europe "The Jap
anese Army is IN complete state OF
readiness" says Mr.. Diosy, "and if It IS
necessary to increase the allied forces in
Europe the Japanese are willing and ready
to supply Immediately large, admirably

Arecent dispatch from Ottawa, Ontario,
Canada. says that a secret store OF arms
and ammunition is being searched for on
the Isle OF Orleans in the ST Lawrence
river. just of Quebec. A concrete base
upon which siege gun could be mounted
already has been found there. A German
gentleman two years ago bought tract
of land on the Isle OF Orleans and estab-
lished there plant for the manufacture
OF concrete blocks. 1t is upon this prop
erty that the concrete foundation has been
found. 1t commands the defenseS OF
Quebec and of the ST. Lawrence channel.
Last summer a moving picture company,
the leading officials OF which were Ger
mans. spent the summer on the Isle OF
Orleans reproducing the battle OF the
plains OF Abraham and making films OF it.
They employed several hundred young
men Of the vicinity, uniformed them and
provided them with arms. which they
borrowed from local military authorities.
They had both cannon and rifles and Tired
a large amount of blank ammunition in
their operations. The firearms which
they borrowed were returned 10 the au-
thorities, but it has been reported that
they took advantage Of the opportunity
10 land guns and Secrete them in pits,
which were carefully covered. The Ca
madam military authorities have regarded
information they have received as serious
enough to warrant an Investigation. The
concrete foundation has been destroyed
and excavations have been made in search
for buried guns. So far none has been
found, and as the island is twenty miles
long and seven miles wide. the search is
likely to prove tedious. AT IFS nearest
point The island is four miles from Quebec.
As far as the Canadian military authorities
have been able TO learn, the films made
last summer were never shown.

 q have not taken any active part in this campaign; l have not desired to become personally involved in it in any way. So many unllind things have been said so much personal abuse has been indulged in as to make the situation un- inviting to me.
 Like Thomas Jefferson however, l believe in the people. l believe the peo- pie want to do what is right and that they will do it. too when properly ad- vised as to the facts. But how are the people to get the facts?
 For more than a quarter of cen tury, l have been engaged in the prac- tice of the law. I have tried many inn portant cases before petit iuries, com posed of men, in some instances, who were ignorant and Gnlettered. But. when the evidence was offered, when the ques- tion was argued by counsel when the law of the case was given to them by the presiding judge, I have generally found that the verdict was about right Ny theory is that every honest man in this life does about the best he knows how
 Now, l want to say Just a word about two men wno are somewhat in the lime light just at present-charles Hender son and MT. BraXton Bragg Conner.
 MT Henderson is a very modest man, but a very capable man. He has made distinct and pronounced success in the management of his private affairs. He las made a very distinct and very pronounced success president of the railroad commission of Alabama.
 ''Of course, they will tell you that he surrendered and sacrificed the interest of the people in the railroad rate sette- ment. He did not do anything of the kind. In trying to convince you to the contrary. they are simply trying to mis- lead and deceive you-they are playing pcIitics.
 He acted in this regard as he has acted in every respect throughout his life private and public; he acted sincerely and for the best interest of the state as he saw 1t. l think he acted wisely, though from political standpoint, of course, he made great mistake. He gave his enemies an opportunity to assail him, of which they have not failed to avail them selves
