THE JAPANESE
OF SEATTLE

Predicting that Seattle, because Of her friendly
treatment OF the Japanese people will profit mate
rally in increasing Oriental trade members OF the
Seattle Japanese association voice the opinion that
the Seattle spirit will have much to do with as
sured and lasting peace between their native land
and their adopted country.
The long list OF Japanese marriages In this city,
they point out, shows clearly the intent OF their
countrymen to make permanent homes mere
"The old belief that the Japanese lives much
less than the American is fast dying out" member
declared. Japanese do not send their money to the
Fzthcrland. They liberal spenders and adapt
themselves readily to the conditions found here
"They patronize and assist public institutions of all
kinds, and willing and anxious to help in the up
building OF the institutions which have remarkably
contributed to the comparatively recent enlghtcn-
ment and real opening OF Japan.
Ever ready to demonstrate their patriotism to
their adopted flag and country, the japanese prov

As for war; he said, there never wa. any real war
sentiment in Japan.
1.-THE people OF my country never have wanted and
will want war with America. They look upon
the United States with a sort OF feeling OF
cnce, has for his father, for it is the United
States that is really responsible they feel for Japans
present enlightened status.
"Japans military strength is not intended as
standing threat of invasion against the United States
1t is her peace insurance. Americans should know
this.
Were the Japanese accorded the treatment
in other parts OF America they receive in Seattle
and the Puget Sound country, there would be talk
OF hostilties between Japan and the United States
"As result of this courteous treatment, Seattle
and the Northwest arc now realizing and will realize
more fully in the near future the gratcfulncss Of
Japan and Japans friendly feeling in greater COM
mcrce.
my people, coming here, do not decrease the wage
scale, politicians have tried to make Americans
believe. Japanese will not work for less wages than
other people, and their standard Of living believe
is higher generally than that Of other aliens
Peace now and always between America and
Japan is my snccrest wish and the sncerest wish Of
all my countrymen"

There is one youne5 mar n Sylvia

to the existance Of ghosts, COLLINS
and spookes, he is convinced.
Tuesday night. Fred L. Hooper
was driving along the road just
south of Loves Chapel, when he
and Parker saw, or thought they
saw a woman advancing toward
them. The apparition appea red
to fall into the ditch by the side of
the road. Parker jumped from the
buggy, thinking the woman had
fallen, and hastened to her assist
ance-but To- and behold her ghost
ship had vanished. Hooper drove
Parker to his home and returning
alone saw the same apparition in

this somewhere, but Judging from

u, S. GETS SCOOPS
German Official News Given to
American Papers.
Answer to Protest Published in
Frankfort Zeitung.

Amsterdam, Oct. 30.-The Ger
man newspapers have widely re-
produced an article in the Kiel Mach
richten, complaining over the alleged
tendency of the governmental give out
news to the American papers which
ought first to have appeared in the
German press. A reply to the COM
plants has now been made through
the semiofficia1 Frankfort Zeitung.
The Kiel newspaper referred par
ticularly to the laudatory announce
ments relative to the success of the
third war loan, which were made by
DIR. Helfferich, secretary of state for
finance, through the medium of the
American newspaper correspondents.
In reply the Frankfort paper de-
clares among other things. that the
Helfferich announcement was made
in America chiefly with view to in
fluence public opinion there against
the British loan which was then pend
ing. such complaints" says the re-
ply prove that a large section of the
German public has but little under
standing for what real politics render
necessary and appropriate. The state
ment of the secretary of state for
finance was primarily intended not for
the German public but for foreign
countries and especially for the United
States, where England was making
desperate efforts to float a loan
when efforts are made at such
moment to show the American people
how strong the economic situation in
Germany is, the action seems so
sagacious and such a matter of course
that it is surprising that anyone should
dare to speak of preference being
shown to the foreign press 1t was
most essentially a matter of political
expendiency that DIR. Helfferich's
statement should be made direct to the
American newspapers.
Moreover, the German foreign Of
flee has often found it prudent to use
the foreign press as its mouthpiece."
In closing, the article bids the German
editors remember that "our living
statesmen did only what the great
Bismarck did, especially during the
war of 1870. Bismarck knew perfect
ly well why he accorded a privileged
position to the representative of an
English neWSDaper''

DON'T PAY ENOUGH
Wealth of BritOnS Would Easily

Sir Edward Clarke Advocates
Income Tax Increase.

London, Oct. 3o.-Sir Edward
Clarke, the great English legal
authority, is of the opinion that the
accumulated wealth of the country,
which he says is amply sufficient to
pay for four or five times over the es-
timated cost of the war" is not con-
tributing it's proper share to the war
taxes
There is one large part of that ac-
cumulated wealth which during the
lifetime of it's owner pays nothing at
all to the national exchequer, ne

greater benefit would be that we

middle-class which finds expression in
bestowing fancy names on their
homes.

CHIEF HANLON A SISSY?
Well, His Family Thought He Was
for While Anyway.

Joseph Hanlon, chief of the fire de-
partment, has been staging Bring
up Father stunt. A week ago the
chief appeared at his home wearing a
Wrist-watch. Mrs. Hanlon and son
Edmond didn't lose any time in ex-
pressing their disapproval of the
chiefs sissy action. And when the
chief tried to explain that wrist
watch was a great convenience to him,
matters were not improved.
There are lots OF times" said the
chief, when I am in a hurry, going to
a fire or directing things at fire,
when I haven't time TIC reach in my
pocket and pull out my watch to see
what time it is. But now all I need
to do is just look at my wrist"
Edmond snorted and Mrs. Hanlon
grew purple.
And just because they were trying
to boss me and tell me what I should
wear, 1 had to go through with the
thing" explained the chief, $50 when
ever I went home 1 put that watch on
my wrist. But I got in worse every
day and finally had to give up
Then the chief explained that he
had promised to take the wrist-watch,
which belongs to Miss Hidur Nygren,
mis- stenographer, to a teweler for re-
pairs, and had placed it On his wrist
as an aid to his memory.
When I saw what stir it made at
home, I had to have a little fun" he
said.

STOP WOMEN DRINKING
Antf-Treat Law Considered Impose
ton in London SIums.

London, Oct. 30.-The no-treating
law now enforced in the London dis
trict will from present indications de-
crease drinking among women, for it
is among the women of the lower
classes that treating Is the most pre-
valent. Even in the most poverty
stricken s1ums of the East End, a
woman who drinks by herself is con-
sidered mean, greedy and unsocial and
she is accordingly ostracized. The
only social life among these women is
at the public houses. At all times of
the day, they may be seen around the
bars or in the street in front with
beer glasses in hand. Since the law
prevents minors entering the bar
rooms, the women with babies in their
arms stand outside for their drinks
But often children tend to the babies
while the mothers and grandmothers
are inside.
Settlement workers count on taking
advantage of the new liquor regula-
lions by starting more social halls. A
number of these are in operation in
the slums now, and their popularity is
growing. They were especially de-
signed for soldiers and their girls as
a cheap place to spend an evening.
