fortunately, the president and his adj
visors are cool and determined to wait
until they are advised officially.

Japan Exercised
Over the Boycott
Levied by China

(Correspondenco q tho Associated PresS)
TOXIC. Aug. 6-The retaliatory boy
colt In China against the Japanese BE-
cause OF Japan's demands on China has
caused profound concern throughout the
empire and extensive plans are being
formulated to overcome the movement.
Japanese merchants are beginning TO
complain at heavy losses in trade and
thoughtful leaders in VARIOUS walks Of
Japanese life are worried over where
the Chinese hostility will end and over
how II win affect the future relations
Of the two countries.
The chamber of commerce Of osaka,
a very progressive body, has already
organized a special commission whose
assignment Is the elimination OF the
Japanese boycott By friendly propaganda
and the advancement of Japan,s trade
interests in China The commission will
also investigate the possibilities of eco
nomic developments as a resnit OF the
new treaties with the government OF
Pekin.
The members Of the chamber will be
dispatched to all important parts OF
China. The first party will visit Mon
golta and that part OF South Menchuria
which has not yet been explored. A
second group win tour north China and
third the south. other chambers OF
commerce are joining the movement.
Adopting the American custom, the
Japanese business men mean to get in
personal touch with the Chinese, find
out what the trouble Is all obout and
then try to find the proper remedy.
They will try to prove that the inter
ests OF China and Japan are Identical.
Another project more sentimental In
character is the sending OF parties OF
school children to China to visit with
the school children Of that country stin
other plans receiving consideration are
thoseTto arrange ChinoIJapancse ex-
hibition and to establish a Cbino-Iap-
anese bank. The exhibition project is
favored by business men generally and
Is supported by the department of agri-
culture. A bill providing for the found
ing OF the bank viii probably be intro
duced into the next session Of the diet.

BUDDHA'S GIFT
BY Rose Zeigler Weller.

No where in the world does the
sun in his spring reveille meet with
such joyous response, as in that far
away, beauty drenched, Japan. His
call, elsewhere clear and distinct, be-
comes here a gentle flute toned mel
ody, moving leaf and bud into lifes
exquisite loneliness.
This natures call to life, reached,
in all its compelling sweetnes a gar
den of that fowery isle, and joyously
the tiny brook broke from the icy
bubbl1ng merrily on it's way to the
diminutive lake where the gold fish
mashed and darted in sportive ecstacy.
The gnarled old cherry tree, in the
heart of the garden, heard, and burst
into pink petaled splendor, redo1ent
butterfly. Under its gently moving
branches dropped maiden, petite,
dainty and delicately lovely as the
cherry blossoms above. Her beauti-
full head was bowed and every line of
her figure expressed sorrow and de-
lection. 1uki Wan was very sad, that
morning. She had. after the Japanese
custom, been promised in marriage
by her parents to a man who was
the age of her father. In silence she
had received the announcement, but
at the first opportunity, fed to the
eyes, she might fight and conquer if
possible, her rebellious heart. Only
last year, at this very season, she had
walked beneath the cherry blossoms
with an English youth; the prince of
her maiden dreams; and even as the
suns call to sleeping nature had been
that call of youth to youth, beauty to
beauty, love to love, and now-O, the
agony of it all; the injustice of it;
the uselessness of it; for had she not
heard that in that other country
where he lived, girls married for love,
youth mated with youth.
There was an instant wild decision
to fly from it, far away somewhere,
anywhere; to escape while her soul
was yet alive; or to defy and refuse
to be disposed of as though she We're
a bronze casket; but following closely
came the realization of the futility of
rebellion, where e'er she turned that
granite wall of tradition barred her
egresls There was no appeal from
parental authority, she unjust submit
