Kansas today is freer from small

Dr. J. J. Sippey, state epidemiolog1st
He asserts that only nine cases are i'll
quarantine, of these there being one
each in Phillips and Labette counties
two in Sumner county and 1--WE IN
Montgomery county.
DIR. Sippey points out. however, that
chickenpox is being reported IN a
number of communities and that there
always is danger of the two diseases
being confused because of their SINH
Iarity. He urges vaccination as pre-
yentiye measure against the disease.
1t is asserted also that diphtherla is
prevalent throughout the state ana
exists in epidemic form in ten or a
dozen towns, those, in the main, be

counties DR.. Sippeyy explained that
the blood serum of certain individuals

AS We GROW OLDER

our minds are quite as active as in
former years but our strength does not
respond when we need it most; perhaps
the kidneys are weak, the liver torpid,
rheumatic pains or stiffened joints
beset us, and we cannot easily throw
off the colds that winter brings.
What we need is the rich cod liver oil
in SCOTS Emulsion to renew the blood
and carry strength to every organ ofthe
body, while its glycerine soothes there's
piratory tract, and its hypophosphites
strengthen the excitable nerves.
SCOTS Emulsion is scientific oil
food, of unusual benefit to those past
fifty years-particularly during the
colder seasons, it imparts warmth and
creates strength. One bottle will prove
its worth. No alcohol or harmful drugs.

Japan has demanded that she be given
the police control of the district.
Then, further, as to the Chinese
seacoast. In the judgment of Japan
that occupation of any part of that
coastline by foreign power is ex-
tremely dangerous to the peace of the
Far East. Consequently, the japanese
government has required of the gov
eminent of China that it shall not con-
cede any part of its coast hereafter to
any alien nationality.
Now. observe, that in doing these
things, Japan has not in any way vio-
lated the Open Door Policy in China.
Japan has not at all monopolized the
interests or the privileges to be had by
others in China. The people of all
nations are still to be welcomed to
this vast land of Asia"
At the close of his remarks, Count
Okuma referred to the aims and the
methods of German imperialism. He
commended German culture and civil
ization highly for much that it ex-
pressed, and he was confident that it
would flourish after the present war,
but said he believed that German inl-
perialism would come to an end. The
people, he continued, had thought and
wrought and accumulated enormous
wealth, but their Imperialism was US
ing this power now to destroy their
lives and civilization. IF this course
of action is right" said the premier,
"in what can we find a worthy mean
ing for human existence? The impe-
REALISTIC power which manifests itself
in this way must come to and end once
and for always"
Count Okuma believed that the
American people had learned much
from the great war, and he said;
81 sincerely wish that the endeavors
of the United States government for
the promotion of international peace
and the progress of humanity may have
the best of results"

leo, directly, must have lost greatly
yet, indirectly, Mexico has been bene-
fitedaiaaueasurably by the conduct OF
her strong and faithful neighbor-the
United States. If, for example, your
country had been Indifferent or passive
fifty years ago to what then occurred
in Mexico, that country would have
come under rule of the French dy-
nasty and the greed of the ambitious
Louis Napoleon would have been graft
fed. Mexico should be grateful for
the friendship and the helpful protec-
ton of the United States as given to
her at that time
Now it is not going too far to say
that a very good parallel can be drawn
between the relation at present exist
ing between Japan and China and that
guiding the conduct of the United
States towards Mexico in the past-the
only noticeable difference being in the
relative magnitudes and resources of
the nationalities of the Far East. Chi
ma has been supported either directly
or indirectly by Japan for long time.
Had this not been the case, the an
cient Chinese Empire-now the newest
republic-would have collapsed, and
would have suffered dissolution or par
tition long before this.
Japan has never attempted or wish
ed to do away with the sovereign in
tegrity and national independence of
China. Even the China-Japan War of
1S94-5 was fought, above all else, foc
the sake of the self preservation of the
japanese nationality.
THE course of the recent interna-
tional affairs between Japan and China
seems to have occasioned some severe
criticism in parts of the west, but the
diplomatic motives and the conduct Of
the discussions have been right and
very just.
1T was evident to Japan that the
German, occupation of Tsing-tau was
a serious menace and peril to the peace
of the Far East With the cooperation
of the British army and navy, the
Japanese forces brought about a sur
render of the Kiao-Chow fortress. But
it is equally evident to Japan that the
occupation of Tsing-tau is useless and
undesirable. Because of this fact, even
if there were no other reason, the Jap
anese government will return the Kiao-
Chow territory to China. At the same
time however, Japan wishes by way Of
compensation to settle the pending
problems that have remained in rela
ton to South Manchuria; and, there
fore, these have been brought forward
for adjustment and solution. AS to

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Aug. 5.-The
onduct of Japan toward China is ex-
Iained especially for American un-
erstanding by Count Okuma, the jap
nese premier in a message which has
cen given to the Associated Press Of
ces here, by DR.. Clay MacCauley, an
merican clergyman and author, who
)r many years has been resident of

Count Okuma is said to desire great

"The rise of Japan" the premier be-
an. has induced some concern and
reused some unrest in the west. In
10 histories of nations we see that Of
on with the genesis and growth of a
ew nationality, violent aggressions,
,companied by various barbarities and
ometimes atrocities, have marked
,eir advance. 1t is not to be wonder
at, therefore, that the rise and ex-
ansion of Japan have drawn to them
suspicious attention in the west, es-
ecially since the passing of the China
apan war twenty years ago. And
NV a world attention is being given
the course of the diplomatic rela-
ons that have arisen between these
40 countries. But the intelligent
Iasses of Americans may easily un.
erstand the peculiar position in
which Japan has been placed by the
