Japan Explains.

Notification by the japanese government that
its occupation of Jaluit Island merely for
military purposes and does not imply perma-
nent occupation merely confirms in official
way what was unoficially understood by in
telligence on this side the water.
When Japan entered the War. assurances
were given the United States that her operations
would be confined to Far Eastern waters. that
I<iao-Chau. when taken, would ultimately be
returned to China. and the United States put a
hrm foot on the soft pedal when it declared
that it understood "as matter Of course"
that Japan would consult the United States be-
fore taking any steps beyond the boundaries of
the territory OF Kiao-Chow."
Jaluit an entirely unimportant island, is be-
yond the boundaries Of Kiao-Chau in one respect.
but it's seizure is not in view OF the haste of
the Japarsse government to disclaim Interior
motive in its occupation. The matter rest
there.

Wherever 1t was II was definite contribution,

What We desire to point out in the experience
is the driving and resistless power of an or

PTaves' one great desire was to get the National
league championship and then the worlds cham

p,ish this result And now that the result is
accomplished ihe Braves have again proven that

In the early years Of the Anti-Saloon League

Anti-Saloon league meeting at Saluda, and
made a speech at the courthouse Among those
present the Rev. e. J. Richardson. the pas
tor OF the Baptist church who showed deep
interest in the work, and after the meeting was
over. took the writer to his home and there a
conference was held which resulted In bringing
that Baptist pastor into the league work. There
VAS not mach inducement at that time to leave
the regular passionate and become an Anti-Saloon
league feh worker. The support offered was
very meaae, and definite pledges were made
az to the time when that meagre amount would
IL paid. CHE man literally lived by faith. But
Brother Richardson is just the type Of man de-
scribed IN the eleventh chapter of the Epistle
TO the Hebrews. And he went into his work
because of his conviction that God wanted him
