LETTERS FROM GERMAN
PRISONERS TAMPERED WITH

BERLIN, July 3l.-Because letters
received from German prisoners of war
in France apparently have been
tempered with-by the French censor.
IL is charged---the authorities have
found il necessary TO issue a warning
against including any information of
military character in communica-
tions from relatives to prisoners.
a recent letter from n prisoner con-
tanned the surprising request to his
relatives to write him all they could
about the war. An examination OF the
writing showed, however, that the
prisoner of war had written exactly
the opposite, and that his handwrit-
Ing had been initiated in changing his
injunction.
Similarly he had written that letters
to him should be sent unsealed. This
injunction, too, had been altered %
read that his relatives might seal their
letters, conveying the impression. along
with the request for war news, that
he was in position TO receive un-
censored communications
The German authorities declare thsJ
are convinced that it was the inten.
ton OF the French government to Sc
cure, i'm this manner, military news of
value, advance word OF intended opera-
tons, troop positions and the like.
They urge relatives, therefore, TO li',tt
themselves in their letters to the barest
needful information OF uonm!!itarS
character.

WOULD HAVE JAPAN
EXPLOIT PHILIPPINES
DIR. X. Miynmn Sees VAST Field Which
Can lie Taken by Japanese
Industries.

TOKYO. July 31.-"Expand Japan's
trade In the Philippines" is the mes
sage which DR.. *. Miyama brings back
to his fellow countrymen after an ex-
tensive business trip throughout the
American archipelago. DR.. Miyama
sums up his impressions in an article
which he calls: Japan in the Philip
pines"
Cnquestionably, DR.. Miyama thinks,
the islands offer 4 much greater mar
ket for Japanese goods.
POINTING out that after the United
States comes England and then japan
in point of trade. the writer remarks
mat Notwithstanding Japans geogra-
phlcal advantage over her rivals, she
has been able to surpass only GERMANY
and China in trading with the islands
me Chinese, he says, are especially
strong in the interior. but he thinks
the natives have little respect for the
cunning Chinese whose ways they do
not like"
AS for anti-Japanese sentiment DR.
Miyama is happy to say he found none
at all. He says: The natives suffer
ing to some extent from white op-
preston. have little real respect for
their masters. In fact there seems
everywhere to prevail a warmer friend
other race. even the savages showing
them kindness" Both the American
authorities and the natives he de.
clares. welcome the Japanese and treat
them with due consideration.
The authorities are especially anx-
,oHs to Introduce more labor from
Japan. rs the Japanese prove more
satisfactory in this respect than do the
natives. The white hemp companies
uuIlze japanese labor far as they
can with very satisfactory results.
Ihus the demand for Japanese labor
IN tne philippines Is almost unlimited
at present New plantations are al
ways being created. and the new in
duStry OF abaca promises phenome-
MAJ development that will stand further
to increase the demand for labor
Dr Miyama notes that in the pro-
duction of pearls the Japanese lead,
as they are the most fearless and
skillful divers; indeed, they now al
most monopoliZe this enterprise. One
big Japanese company has forty-three
boats, and fishes by machinery. But
the business is now suffering from
depression caused by the war in
Europe.
The writer sees no reason why Japan
should not supply to the Filipinos what
was formerly supplied by Germany,
and furnish some of the things which
now come from the United States.
There is an increasing demand for
Japanese matches and for cement and
leather Of all kinds. Most of the
shoes worn by the Filiponos." he says.
ARE imported from the United States,
but the natives have wide feet, to
which shoes made in Japan are more
adapted. We should supply them"
Many things which are now going
to waste in the Philippines. he thinks,
could be prohtably exported to Japan
and made good use of. Likewise. much
intr -.
ported into Japan, manufactured and
then sold as exports.

TELL THE statesmen

With the approach Of the fall sea
son, the big jobbers and manufacture
ers will begin to send out their
statesmen. Many of these statesmen
are going to call on you, Mir. Re
taller. Here are few suggestions
by which you might open tho con
versation with them:
Ask them what they will do to
help you sell the goods they want
you to buy.
Ask them if their firm is going to
advertise their goods in the news
papers Of your city If they reply
No, ask them why not?
Tell them it is necessary for thu
to create the demand in your city,
among your customers, for their line
of goods, otherwise you cannot push
their line in preference to these man
ufacturers or jobbers who do create
this demand.
Tell them the best way to create
the demand is to advertise in the
local newspapers; that your custo-
mers read the newspapers published
here; that you yourself advertise in
them; and that you are not willing
to spend Jour money to make their
particular brands popular in this
town and later have them take the
line away from you and give it to
your competitor.
Tell them that you favor goods
which are advertised in your local
newspapers because you find it more
profitable to do so.
This is a mighty good hand to
hold. 1t should be stand-pat one.

A few lines to let you know that

You see we were here before and

The farm houses about here were
sadly dilapidated in June from the
furious German bombardment.
Now, every house is nothing but a
pile of bricks, twisted and broken
timbers and such nick-nacks.
The trenches have been battered
in to such an extent that in places
they are only large shell holes
through which We merrily toddle.
For hundred yards or more on
each side of the trenches, the ground
has been ripped up and worked over
by shells until it resembles a storm
tossed sea. 1t is pretty nearly indie
scribable, the havoc wrought by the
artillery, and don't forget for a min
ute that the Germans were holding
/ these same trenches and all of the
apology of village called H
when this little entertainment came
off per schedule.
You see when we left here in June
for the rest in billits, the british
held this place. Along about a month

jokes and played it on the English
Tommies. | don't think they would

But let it go. Suffice to say that
the little joke consisted of squirting
sprays of petrol over to our trenches
and then igniting the gas with in~
cendiary shells.
Well it did look bad, and I guess
things were serious. Anyway, to

whole place was taken over by the

BUSINESS HOUSES
MUST CLOSE ON
SUNDAY SAYS JUDGE

Portland, Oct. 2S.-That there Is
law In Oregon compelling the clos
Ing on Sunday OF practically every
place OF business is the decision to-
day OF District Judge Dayton.
The Judge upheld the validity OF
the law when he fined Dan Kelleher
$25 for keeping his grocery store
open on the Sabbath day.
Kelleher has declared he will APP
peal the case until II reaches the
supreme court Of the United States
II the lower tribunals decide against
him, on the ground that the law con-
stitutes class legislation.
The law was passed In 1854 and
lay dormant until resurrected several
months ago through the arrest and
conviction Of u Eugene tobacco deal
or. His case was appealed to the
supreme court OF Oregon, which
found against him.
Because Of its antiquity the law
presents many incongruities, It has
been pointed out. Livery stables,
butcher shops, bakeries and drug
stores may remain open, but gar
ages and groceries must close; re-
gular theaters may remain open, but
every other form of amusement, in
baseball, Is barred.
