Los ANGELES SANTA"
IS A WESTON VISITOR

Q. NJ. Pierce and family OF Los An
geles are here this week on their nn-
nuai visit with relatives and friends,
after first going TO Union county. Al
though Mr.. Pierce himself may BE-
called back to Los Angeles soon. his
family win remain for several weeks

II Charles goes back 10 California
before his vacation IL over. II viii be
because OF his self-imposed duties rs
a sort OF year-round Santa Claus TO
the orphan children of the big south
ern city. He now has scheme on
foot to secure and charter n special
train TO take these orphaned little
ones of Los Angeles 10 san Francisco
for the big fair. n he can only hyp-
notixe or persuade the railroad COM
pany into furnishing the special train.
Charles will do the rest. The moment
he hears that his request has been
granted he will hasten south to ar
range the details.
Santa Claus Pierce Is widely known
In the City Of Angels. where he has
been good for scores of columns Of
space In the newspapers He used to
run free trips for the orphans on his
Balloon Route Excursions" When
he retired from this pursuit and went
10 ranching and real estating. he would
bring In huge truck loads OF vegeta-
bies and fruits 70 give to his proteges.
The trucks were loaned him by the
Los Angeles Times. which shows him
in one picture In the act of distribute
ing vegetables at needy homes. and in
another giving away apricots TO eager
children. The Times says OF him:
''It would be a great thing for the
very poor Of this city II there were
more men like Pierce. Everybody
WIN applaud him and his spirit Of
and wish him success In
many more missions OF the same
kind"

The first impression received by the

one-twentieth OF the area available

THE ARsrY's DEFAMERs

Captain Ryan of the United States army Is under citation for contempt of court, according 10 report from Loganport, Ind. The circumstances are said to be that Judge Lairy of that juriSdic- lion gave a convicted robOer his choice of going to prison or enlist ing in the army and that Captain Ryan promptly and emrhatically expressed a derogatory opinion of the judge and his judgment
 This sort of thing nas not been uncommon. Like the election Of enlisted men wearing United States uniforms from theateTs, dance halls or other places of amuss- ment-instances of which are not entirely unkuown-the representa- tion of the eountry's army or navy as a close approximation to a pen !teuiary- as an acceptable substitute TOT penal seryitude has taken place far too often, and been allowed to pass with far too little incon- venience 10 the offenders.
 It is gratifying to note that these blunders no longer occur so frequently as they did a few years ago. Their correction has been undertaken by officers of both services, men as proul e the na- lions uniform as Captain Ryan, and as outspoksn in 'ts defense, as Iell as by secretaries of the wal and navy departments.

Americans Ignorant of Japanese Ideals and
 Conditions By Dr. TOYONCH TYENACA. Japanese Statesman

TT is well for the American people
 to know and know once for all
 that Japan does not want the Philippines, and if you offered them to her she would not take them. WE CAN SEE NO REASON WHY THE UNITED STATES SHOULD SHIFT THAT BURDEN TO THE SHOULDERS OF JAPAN.
 If I were to address a Japanese audience on America 1 would pro- ceed somewhat in the following fashion:
 "In deaiing win the American people study with care their tenn perament and idiosyucrasieS, learn with devotion their ways and modes of thought, appreciate their great and good parts, and they will moi fail to reciprocate. Be frank, open hearted and speak ont your heart without reserve and mincing words. If any act of injustice be done by them unto you be patient, but firm. in your stand.
 MIDST OF ALL. DO YOUR BEST TO MAKE KNOWN TO THEM JA- PAN AND THE JAPANESE, FOR THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE AMERICANS ARE QUITE IGNo. RANT OF YOUR THOUGHTS IDEALS AND CONDITIONS. THIS IS THE oNEY WAY TO MAKE FRIENDS OF AMERICANS AND KEEP PEACE FOREVER WITH AMERICA"

SPAIN HARD HIT

Of all the countries in Europe which are still neutral Spain might be supposed to stand far ihest from the perils and suffer ing of war, says the Cleveland Leader. It is not q country like Norway, that lives largely by its shipping and is gravely menaced by any conditions interfering with the unlimited use Of the trade routes and ports of the world. II Is not, like Italy, so rear the bat tie fields and so deeply interested .n the change which the war may make in national boundaries that il has been necessary to keep great army In readiness for ac- ton. No mines are drifting ashore cn the coast of Spain. No battles are being fought within hundreds of miles of Its nearest frontier.
 Yet Spain is in dire distress be- cause of the war. There are bread riots In Spanish towns. There is fear of risings born Of the blind misery of the people. which may spread into revolution. The gov ernment tries to give relief but it lacks the resources demanded by the general depression Of trade and industry.
 Spain suffers because the coun- try lives largely on exports which are quickly curtailed by a war that cuts down the purchasing power of the nations which have been the best customers for the luxuries spain has to sell. Wine and olive oil have gone to France in i'm mense quantities. There Is little demand for either now. England has been a great consumer of Span ish oranges, raisins. grapes, olives, olive oil and almonds. The war has much diminished the demand fer all of these products.
