friendly Sentiments.

It. Miyaoka formerly councillor in
the foreign Office, is a widely known
| lawyer practising In Toxic and Yoko-
| hama. He says:
There is a historic cause TO the
growth of anti-Japanese sentiment
J among certain sections Of the foreign
community in Japan. During the regime
| of foreign consular jurisdiction foreign
ers regarded themselves as a superior
and privileged class. The compara-
lively infanule stage Of Japans mate
rial civilization. the system of segrega-
tion under which foreigners lived in
Japan, their absolute ignorance of the
Japanese language and literature, their
ton, all combined to make foreigners
sincerely believe that they belonged to
a much superior type Of humanity, The
abolition OF consular jurisdiction, the
resumption Of judicial, fiscal and adj
ministrativ9 power by Japan over for
eign residents in the country, the re-
suit Of the two foreign wars that ia
pan had vaged within ten years, the
abolition Of the system Of foreign set
tlement, the growth of more intimate
relations both commercial and indus
trial between Japanese and foreign
ers all these facts combined to give
to a much larger percentage Of for
eigners in Japan a more correct and
intimate knowledge Of the Japanese
character, things and life
"On the other hand the awakening
of the Japanese people to their power,
their aspirations to become world
power, theii keen desire TO compete
with Europeans and Americans in the
neutral markets Of the world have
created d sense of resentment among
the minor section Of the foreign COM
nunity. Thus foreigners In Japan are
divided into two camps, pro and anti /
japanese, and it is the minority that
makes the largest noise

Packed Like Sardines
In the Public Schools

What to do with the miraculous
increase in all branches of the schools
is testing the managerial caliber of
the trustees. The widows cruise Of
oil is outclassed by these latterday
classes. In the High School, where
an attendance of ITS was looked for
and with facilities acknowledged to be
scant provision for that enrolment
the close of the first day showed 227
on the roster. Professor Kerr says
they have no assembly room suffi-
ciently capacious for meeting in that
capacity. He sees no way but to use
the porches for that purpose. Sure
ly, some good angel must have in
spired the architect to build better
than he knew, in turning so much of
the outdoors into educational rama
das.
In the grammar school buildings the
problem is equally pressing; only in
them there are no covered porticos
that can be utilized. The authorities
have been obliged temporarily to cur.
tail the enrolment, not only on az
Imperial Valley press., 1914-09-22

count of lack of space, but also be-
cause school desks cannot be prompt
ly obtained for the unlooked-for in
crease. So stupendous has been the
pressure that it has become necessary
to dismiss portion of those already
enrolled, they to be reinstated only
when provision for room space and
desks can be reached.
The East Side school is the only
one that seems to be in a fair way
of immediate and adequate relief, as
the building that has been good
enough for our High and Grammar
schools the past five years is being
put in shape for their use. They will
have less distress on these accounts
than any other city school.
The average attendance the past
year in the grammar grades was
about Az A 20 per cent increase
was calculated upon. There proves to
be nearly so per cent added, or about
627 pupils.
Ell Centre grows-and in the best
way-the raising up of children with
the best provision for education.

Thrilling Experience
Of Boy On Desert

John Bower, IA years old, found
his way into Ogilby yesterday after
noon and told thrilling story of be-
ing lost on the desert with his father
and leaving the latter three days be-
fore prostrated in the sands. The
story was wired here and searching
party at once left Holtville for the
sandhills. The boy came here, and
this morning gave the Press story
of his experience.
He said his father owned some land
in Culican, Mexico, 800 miles from the
United States, and together they left
National City with span of mules
to drive to Culican. They passed
through Holtville and by the Artesia
schoolhouse, near which they camped
He thinks that was Friday night. The
next morning at z they started across
the desert for Yuma, not realizing

right bank of the Disc. Between the
Disc and the Aisne the situation Is
practically unchanged. At the center
they attempted an offensive move
ment, but were repulsed. In the
Woevre region the Germans have been
making violent efforts, attacking the
heights of the Meuse, but without
Roadway. Their assaults were hurled
back with heavy losses"

At A that afternoon the mules gave
out and the father was weak, as they
had only brought about two buckets
of water for the mules and a water
bag for themselves, all of which was
exhausted.
They unhitched the mules and tried
tc drive them ahead, but the father
was soon exhausted and lay down un-
der an umbrella, while the boy crowd
ed on after water.
1t was long time before he came
to a tub of water, where he drank

In a number of cases money has

DATE INDUSTRY
MAKES BIG GAIN

Announcement of Bruce Drummond,
representative of the United States
Department of Agriculture at lndio,
that he succeeded in getting ripe
dates there during the third week in
July this year, should give a decided
impetus to the culture of the date,
which has been gaining ground
steadily and unostentatiously for a
rumber of years. 1t is becoming
more and more evident that Califor-
MIA need fear no competition from
the Oriental growers. This was long
ago demonstrated as regards quality
of the fruit, and now it should be plain
to everyone that this state can mar
ket it's crop long before the badly
packed dates from the Persian gulf
get here, in the latter half of Octo-
Der. When California can put clean
and attractive dates on the market
in August, it seems only reasonable to
believe that they can be sold at
profit, before the flood of cheap fruit
from the Orient can arrive.
In the early days of the California
cate industry the mistake was made
of planting almost exclusively the AL
eerian varieties of date, most of which
are very late in maturing. When their
quality is superior, as is the case with
the Deglet Nur, familiar to every res
ident of this valley through the beau
tiful plantation of the California Date
Company at Heber, such planting Is
justified, but in other cases earlier
dates should have been selected. This
Policy is now being followed by most
planters; the Reed Williams Corpora
ton, for instance, which has planted
the nucleus of large orchards near Ell
Centre and Imperial, has put in some
Of the earliest Persian Gulf varieties,
as well as late confectionery dates,
and the West India Gardens, whose
plantation, near Mecca is by far the
largest in the state, has very large
proportion Of early varieties from the
Persian Gulf.
Of course there viii always be a
profitable market for dates during
the holiday season, and this market
can lie supplied by late California
dates such as the Deglet Nur, which,
packed under sanitary American
methods, will easily meet the compe-
tition of the imported dates. Never
theless most planters have now out
grown the idea which they once held
that such dates as the Deglet Nur
were the only ones worth planting
and are now demanding the early,
vigorous and prolific Persian Gulf and
Egyptian varieties.

To Organize Gun Club
Is Plan of Local Sports

that a meeting will be called some
time in October, at which time it is
hoped there will be sufficient num-
Der interested to warrant the estab-
fishing of club. The county organ
ization will be known as the Impe-
rial Valley Blue Rock League, and
it is the idea of those in charge of
the work to hold competitive shoots
between representatives of the vari-
Gus clubs. Already the movement is
attracting wide attention and it is
believed the clubs of Los Angeles and
Long Beach can be induced to par
ticipate in the valley shoots.
Traps and supplies will be pur-
chased at once and it is planned to
use the fair grounds site for the
local club house, which will be built
at once if grant can be secured from
the city trustees. The Hercules Pow
der Company has rendered trophy
to be used in the first shoot held
here, and it is believed entries will
be received from all parts of the
county.
C. H. Hersee is taking an active part
in the work of getting the club start
ed on permanent basis, having had
a wide experience along these lines.
There is no doubt that an intense in
terest will be displayed and there is
every reason to believe that club
can be perfected in Ell Cntro.

Three Cruisers Sunk.

London, Sept. 22.-German subma-
rines have sunk the British armored
cruisers Aboukir, Hogue and Cressy
in the North sea, the official infor-
nation bureau announced today. Ii
stated that a considerable portion of
the crews were saved. The Aboukir
was first struck, the others lowering
boats to rescue the survivors, when
torpedoes released by the submarines
demolished them.
The three cruisers were all of the
same class, 454 feet long at the wa
ter line, 10000 tons displacement. They
carried two 90 inch guns in turrets,
twelve 6-inch guns in easements,
twelve 3-inch guns, three 3-pounders,
eight machine guns and torpedo
tubes.
The Aboukir was the first British
warship to be sunk. She was struc!;
beneath the water line by torpedo
released by submarine At the time
the Cressy and Hogue were standing
by. Immediately after the Aboukir
was struck the submarine released
other torpedoes, which struck the
Cressy and Hogue: The casualties are
unknown. The dispatch did not give
the location of the disaster nor the
date.
Each ship carried in officers and
crew 700 men. 1t is unofficially es-
timated that half perished. The pub
lie clamor is loud for revenge. The
streets about the admiralty are packed,
awaiting details.
