JAPS IN MICHIGAN.

Prof. J. F. Jefry, formerly head Of
the soils department at the Michigan
Agricultural college at Lansing, but
now land commissioner for northern
Michigan railroad, is telling upper
peninsula people that there is no doubt
a Jap colony VIII settle in this state,
somewhere in the vicinity Of Chatham.
in fact, he says that all the prepare
tions for conveying the Japs from CAL
ifornia 10 Michigan have been made.
But he does not say when they will
start or how large the colony will be.
Colonization Of Japs In Michigan is
being favored by railroads and land
interests 1t is being denounced by
oranges, farmers clubs, labor organ
izations, and all who see danger in
introducing into this country an alien
race that cannot and will not assim-
ilate with the white races. In the ex-
element of the great European war
the fact that this colonization is near
ing maturity is being lost sight of,
says the Detroit Journal, and there is
a probability that before the people
realize what is taking place, the be-
ginning Of a very serious problem will
have been planted on Michigan soil
Those who oppose Jap immigration
simply because it viii increase com
petition in their lines of business are
ON the wrong track. Agriculture is lag
gins behind many other occupations,
and, given the right kind of people
To- put uu the land, mo- one will suffer
from the invasion But Japs? That's
diGcrent-pragucaly as different as III
they were Cinnamon.
Il is true that "A single colony of
Japs i'm Michigan viii not be- particu-
larry Objectionable; it would be swal-
lowed mp by the millions of whites
surrounding it, The danger comes
from such a beginning, for no one can
tell when the stream win stop, or over
how much territory 1t may spread.

SOUTH AMERICA OFFERS
GOD MARKET FOR AUTOS
MADE IN UNITED STATES

Detroit, Mich, Aug. 20.-Fred l..
Jewett, of the Paige Motor Car Com
pany, has just returned from New
York and other business centers
where he has been looking after the
interests of his company. Mr.. Jewett
returns To his desk greatly encouraged
over the turn events have taken i'm the
last few days and especially optimis-
tic over the possibilities for an ex-
oeptional growth in the motor car in
dustry.
When the news Of the great Euro
pean conflict first reached u.s." said
Mr.. Jewett, most business men were
somewhat upset, fearing that even the
United States, fortunate though they
be in maintaining a neutral position.
would suffer from interrupted business,
tightening finances and possible stag
nation. Motor car ment were especial
~ anxious over the effect the war
would have on the export of American
made automobiles.
After the first shock, however and
encouraged by the prompt measure Of
the government to ease the situation,
they began not only To regain conf
dencen and courage, but TO perceive
that conditions abroad would neces-
sarly benefit the business of this
country. ] had many interviews with
bankers and men of large affairs in

automobile industry, the war will he

writer in the Courier des Etats
Unis points out that this would not
be the case in 1914. The opinion. he
says. is founded in MacMahon's man
euNer in 1870. the direct result OF which
(the doubling up of MacMahon's army
in an attempt To defend Paris) was the
disaster of Sedan. a great fault of the
French strategy in 1870 was the fail
ure TO cover Paris independently.
This mistake will not be committed
second time. France has been
schooled i'm defeat. Paris today not
only has its immediate defenses. but
its outlying defenses. All these will
be found thoroughly manned and for

In 1912 the Democratic party was
the dominant party in Kansas. 1t
pulled 1860 votes. In the primary
last week it polled less than half that
number. In 1912 the progressive party
in Kansas was the second party. It
polled l20,123 votes. In the primary
last week it polled less than $1,000

THE WASTE OF WAR.

While the cost of the war between
the nations Of Europe will be stagger-
ing in the matter of human lives, judg-
ins from the determinedness of the
military Chieftains TO stop at no sac
rhce, the stupendous waste in dol
lars involved almost surpasses COM
prehenaion
one careful statistician, Prof
Charles Richct, has figured that 20,
OOO 900 men will be directly involved
m the war and that the monetary cost
will be fully Sj0,U0o,00O per day. Al
ready the contest has been waged for
~ days and apparently the great
struggle has only begun. Thus the
cost has been one billion dollars and

from the fatalities. This feature alone
presents a sociological after-effect that

that in the recent strife in the Bal
kaus, which furnishes the best data
IN this respect, the casualties were
more than % per cent, while the pro-
fessors figures are but one-tenth as
large for this greater struggle.
Another juggler Of figures in analyz-
ing the professors findings says he
is far too low i'm all Of his estimates.
For instance, in the matter 81 de-
struction OF public and private prop
erty in the Balkans campaign this item
was placed at $2,OOOOOO per day. Yet
in Belgium we are told that during
two weeks lighting this loss has been
$500 600, 900, and there were no large
cities involved.
The cost Of military operations rep

by considering its effect on all phases
Of national and individual existence,

GOULD HEIRESS AIDS
WOMEN OF FRANCE

Paris, Aug. 22.-The Duchess de
Talleyrand, formerly Miss Anna Gould
of New York, is operating a work shop
i'm the Rue La Pompe for women
whose relatives and friends are fight
ing, but who are not yet qualified to
receive state help. The women will
receive three meals a day and will be
occupied in making shirts and hospital
necessities.
The duchess has cancelled the ar
rangemcnts which she had made for a
visit of her children to New York, as
she feared any vessel on which they
might sail would be exposed to danger
of capture.
Count Boni de Castellane, former
husband of the duchess. has obtained
appointment in the bureau of the
headquarters staff. 1t is a civil APP
pointment and he does not wear a uni
form. 1t allows him to come to Paris
frequently.
on such occasions, the princess says
he is continually worrying her about
their children.
The duchess says that except
through obtaining this civil appoint
ment her former husband would have
to fulfill the military duties of his
class of reservists, which is to watch
the railroad tracks.
The Duke de Talleyrand, the present
husband of the former Miss Gould.
placed his services with his automobile
at the disposal OF the government. He
drove an officer with parts of mitrail-
leuse to Amiens.

A GOOD MAN GONE.

The death of Louis Voetsch, mar
shall and fire chief OF Houghton. is a
shock not only TO Houghton people,
who knew him intimately, but TO many
others in the copper country and else
where in the upper peninsula. He was
a man of many friends-which is the
greatest tribute which can be paid to
any man.
Both as a policeman and fireman he
was conscientious in duty and an offi-
cient public servant. His disposition
was kindly and this quality of heart
entered largely into his official acts as
chief of police. He leaves no long
record of arrests, but he did his full
duty. He was not found wanting
when there was any real necessity for
action, and under his administration
Houghton has enjoyed an enviable
record as an orderly town. The IA
miliar figure and pleasing personality
OF the chief will be missed.
