ATTEMPT TO BLOW UP
BATTlESAIp FOR REVENGE
FAILURE TO BE PROM e D
PROMPTED SEAMAN TO CON-
NIT CRIME IN 1912.

Toxic. Aug. 29.-The fact that an
attempt was made by a Japanese sail
or 10 blow up the Japanese battleship
Nisshin I'm November. 1912, has been
brought to light by the recent convic-
tion of and execution of death sem
tence upon the guilty seaman. Two
men were killed and seventeen wound
ed i'm the explosion which failed, how
ever, To destroy the warship.
The seaman was Sankichi Furuta, a
second warrant officer OF the Nisshin,
and, according To his ultimate confess
sion the motive of the act was re-
venge. He declared that inferior men
had been promoted over him. He
therefore plotted to destroy the ship
and all on board. He ignited a heavy
charge OF powder while the warship
was at Shizuoka.
The real cause OF the disaster was
vigorously kept secret. Naval authori-
ties explained that the powder at the
magazine had accidentally exploded.
Meanwhile Furuta was secretly arrest
ed and submitted to close examination
at IA naval court martial. After nearly
ten months inquiries the examination
was recently brought to an end and
Judgment OF death PRONOUNCED.

DETROIT READY FDR VETS.
City in Gay Attire For Opening of G.
A, r. Encampment

Detroit, Mich Aug. 29.-The city
OF the Straits is putting on it's gay
est holiday attire in honor OF the APP
preaching national encampment OF the
Grand Army of the Republic. From one
end OF the city TO the other. on every
hand, may be seen a bewildering ar
ray Of bunting. flags and streamcrs,
until the eye is stated with the varied
display.
Men who have attended other en-
campments of the G.. a. r. are authori-
~ for the statement that the general
decorations will fully come up TO those
OF any other city and that the cleo
trical display will probably excel any
thing OF the kind attempted before.
Not ony are business streets and the
houses on the line of parade decorated.
but in many other parts of the city
may be seen beautiful evidence OF the
patriotism Of the citizens.
The committee on decorations and
illumination has been very thorough in
it's work and has introduced several
entirely new features. All the halls
and buildings which will be used dur
ing the encampment for meetings, etc.
have been decorated, as have all the
public buildings

settled condition of commercial activ-
lily i'm the upper peninsula and particu-
larry the copper country, due To tho

pal reason for this action, and the fact
that only few days of the members

COLOR" PREJUDICE IN
ENGLAND is GROWING.
Britains Show Disdain For Negro
Dusky-one Ignored.

London, Aug. 29.-The growing pre-
JUDGE in England against color" has
been a subject of newspaper comment
OF late in the London press. A typical
letter Of the kind comes from a writer
who says:
Among the men who poured into
the smoking room OF a city restaurant
was faultlessly dressed negro Of dis
tinguished appearance. He took seat
at vacant table, which would accom-
MEDIATE four persons. All the other
tables in the room were quickly filled
and there was not an inch Of space 10

Rather than sit at in his company
patrons went out again. Even the
Mattresses ignored the dusky one. 1t
was fully twenty minutes before he
was served. and then only in response
to almost pathetic appeals.

able to strike the battle line IF the
allies on the center or flank with a
greater force than the allies will be
able to oppose. then the on-marCh of
the Germans to Paris is inevitable.
1t looks to be as though the French
were making "a grievous mistake in

the Germans in Alsace and Lorraine.

SAYS JAP OFFICERS ARE
SEEKING HEALTHY BRIDES
MINISTER OF NAVY DEGREES
PASSING OF GOLDEN AGE OF
BEAUTIFUL WOMEN.

Toxic, Aug. 29.-"The golden age OF
beautiful owmen is passing" accord
ing to Admiral Kashiro, minister of
the navy who with friendly paternal-
ism has been observing the choice OF
wives which naval officers have made.
For over ten years." he said, the
idea has obtained in the navy that
the officers were kind of diplomat.
and that their wives must be pretty
and charming. The officers were al
ways looking for pretty. modernized
women with view to marriage.
Now, however" he observed. things
are changing. The marriageable nav
al officers of today are looking for
women who are sober in mind and
healthy in body. 1t is probably due to
the object lesson furnished by hus-
bands taxed with pretty but luxurious,
vain and uncomfortable wives
Admiral Kashiro said that although
the number of selfish people had IN
creased in Japan. as witness the recent
naval bribery affair, he was convinc-
ed that the people as whole would
not countenance such conduct and
such an attitude toward life. The
Japanese would. he thought, return in

Rules For Kitchen.
London housewives have made up
some war rules for the kitchen"
which call for marketing in person,
bringing all parcels and doing cooking
in the most economical way possible
from day To day, rather than buying
in quantities.
Some of the London papers have Sc
verely scored the practice of the we'll

tributes further hardship to the poor.
