JAPAN, ENGLAND AND AMERICA.

Is there danger to the United States
from the activity of Japan in the pres
emit war? Japan has ordered Ger
many out Of the Chinese territory
which she holds, and, while orders
have been given to the German earri-
son to resist, it is generally held that
the capture OF the German forts by
the Japanese is out a matter of time.
as Germany has no very great force
In that locality, and Japan can bring
to bear the entire strength of her ar
my and navy on the reduction of the
Notifications. Gloomy forecasts have
been made Of the capture Of Kiaou-
Chaou by the Japanese. and then OF
her capture of all of tho other Ger
man possessions In the Pacific, in
GLIDING German Samoa and the islands
in the vicinity Of Guam, which is
held by the United States. Then,
when the time comes. Japan is to use
the advantage which she will thus
have gained to take possession of the
Philippines. perhaps Hawaii. and ul-
ttrnately to drive American commerce
entirely from the Pacific.
Existing conditions do not appear to
warrant this anxiety. Regardless Of
what Japan's ambition may be, she lie
acting under the terms OF her treaty
with Great Britain. and it 10 not to
be supposed that she will 60 farther
than Great Britain is willing to have

How would Britain regard Japanese
hostility to the United States? Great

THE AIRSHP ATTACK ON ANT.
WERP.

Chicago Herald: The Belgian gov
eminent. through its ministers to the
United States and other neutral pow
ers, has formally protested against
the German airship attacks upon Ant
werp. as a gross violation of article
2s Of the fourth Hague convention Of
1907, concerning Laws and Ueages
Of War" The article reads:
The commander Of the attack
ing troops, before undertaking a
bombardment. will, except in case
Of open assault. do all that lies
In his power to give warning to
the authorities.
Article Is forbide bombardment "by
any means whatsoever Of towns which
are not defended" OF course Ant
werp lie defended" though it has not
yet been attacked, except from the air.
No German force has appeared before
1t with a summons to surrender.
1t is denied in Antwerp that any
sort Of warning Of the intended at
tack was given. AS both Of the at
tacks have been made under cover
Of darkness they can hardly be de-
scribed as open assault" Noncom-
batants of whom a number are re-
ported killed, were given no opportu-
nifty Of escape.
BY their opponents the German
powers are widely accused Of wanton
disregard for treaty engagements. I'm
less the Germans are careful that
charge will be credited. The airship
assault on Antwerp speaks for itself.
Can the German powers afford to ex-
cite more enmity than that with
which they are already contending?

FOUR NEW STATES DRY

Four new states, all western,
Washington, Arizona, Oregon and
Colorado, are now on the list of those
where liquor. is 'tabooed." This adj
dition makes the number of prohi-
bition states fourteen.
In Arizona the victory against
booze is not complete, for it is be-
lieved that the state legislature must
pass an emergency bill to make the
prohibition amendment operative
and another fight will be carried to
the state lawmakers.
California, "the land of million
aires" quashed the "anti' move
ment by 100000 votes, and also
adopted a resolution against placing
the question on the ballot for eight
years.
At least a score of states have local
restrictions or local option laws that
operate in the restraint of the liquor
business.

8. Craig of Belmont, near Perth
western Australia, is the largest poul
try breeder and egg producer in the
commonwealth. Under ordinary condi
tons he has between 5000 and 1000
laying hens, and, including chicks, his
birds periodically total 5000. In the
flush of the laying season he>gathers
more than 200 dozen eggs a day.. and
during February and March, when the
market price averaged two shillings a
dozen, his check exceeded $500 week.
Practically the whole of his stock are
white Leghorns, which he finds are
easily the most profitable for his pur
pose-egg production.
Mr.. Craig began commercial poul
try raising eight years ago on very
small scale, so that his progress has
been phenomenal. He selected for his
run 40 acres of land in the virgin
scrub, and, except so far as 1t was nee.
essary to facilitate the erection of the
netting, did not remove any of the
timber. Consequently the birds live
under conditions as nearly natural as
1t Is possible to have them.

URGES COOPERATION IN
BUILDING OF HIGHWAYS.
State and Federal Governments Should
Work Together, Says Houston.

Secretary Houston of the depart
ment of agriculture says the state and
| federal governments should work to-
gether for highway Improvement in
order that "a large proportion of the
money annually spent for road co
struction may not be wasted.
In his own department the office Of
| public roads has been demonstrating
the value of proper road building by
the construction of certain object les
carrying out his idea of national and
state cooperation in road building
The law requires that 10 per cent of
the gross receipts from the national
forests shall he spent in the states in
which the forests are situated. This
money is expended for road improve
ments under direct control of the sec.
rotary Of agriculture.
The amount appropriated under this
act based on the receipts of the ma
tional forests for the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1913. is $234,63S.G3 From
road item there is an additional $134.-
S31.10. which is still available.
In administering the 10 per cent road
fund forest officers charged with the
actual plans and expenditures in the
neighborhOOd Of their forests have. in
almost all cases. secured an equal or
a larger cooperative fund from state
authorities for the building Of certain
pieces of road.
With the money thus expended many
important roads are being built or put
In repair. One on the Wyoming ma.
tional forest. six miles long. makes
accessible to farmers large body Of
timber and opens up region of great
scenic beauty. In northwestern Arizo-
ma part of the fund will be used In
connection with the lie Fevre- Bright
Angel road. important because /!
makes accessible to tourists the Grand
Canyon of the Colorado. In one place
the ocean to ocean highway crosses
the Apache national forest. Arizona.
and on this project the forest service
and the local authorities co-operated
enthusiastically. On the Florida ma
tional forest In western Florida steel
bridges and graded roads have. under
the stimulus of this fund. taken the
place Of corduroy. bog and sand.
This federal road fund is now avail
able in all national forest states of the
west. Just as fast as returns come In
the forestry officials say. a similar
fund will become available in states In

said Mrs. Champ Clark, according to
the Washington Post. at that time

Pitzer, and going to school Mt Clarks-

there was youth against whose fas-

Old Henley Rowing Match.

1t is far cry from Henley to Ven
Ice, but there is at any rate one con
nection between them. For our first
English regatta was introduced from
Venice, and took place of Ranelagh
Gardens In 177b. Contemporary ac
counts give us full details of the fes'
tivities and the spfendor of the lord
mayors barge, but have not much to
say about the racing, which was con
fined to the professional watermen.
1t is curious fact that our early row.
Ing was almost entirely fosterd by the
proprietors OF London's places OF
amusement. Vauxhall Gardens Of
fered prizes each year. and Ashley, OF
circus fame. was an early patron ol
the sport.
1t was not until the nineteenth cen
tury that rowing ceased to be regard
ed as merely hard work by the ANA
teur sportsmen. The Lcander club
was formed about 1918. and the firs'
mention OF rowing at our public
schools occurs five years before. Then
the sport went ahead by leaps anc
bounds. and by 1889 the need OF o
central spot for an anual regatta wa,
felt. and Henley was chosen after 0
due consideration of rival sites.
