His Activity Criticised.

Mr.. McAdoos activity for the bill from
the beginning has been attacked num-
ber of times lately, the charge being made
that he is the father Of the measure and
is furnishing the administration ammuni-
ton.
The Presidents determination to ex.
haust all efforts for the enactment, in the
hope of escaping an extra session, was de-
clared today to have furnished the op-
ponents of the shipping bill much comfort
as indicating the straits Of the admin
istration.
Republicans and others who have
studied the situation seriously doubt
whether an extra session would pass
the bill should many democrats of the
House oppose it. The majority in the
next Congress-. it Is pointed out, is NOT
large. and eighteen or twenty hold-out
democrats would be sufficient to defeat
the bill in the House. In the Senate
there is no doubt the bill would pass

Senator Simmons said that the demo-
Gratis had so far not given serious con-
sideration to the proposal Of Senator
Reed of Missouri. to pass special Or
der amending the rules to bring the
debate on the bill to a close February 19
and vote that day. 1t is not believed
that such an order could be passed
through the Senate. And even II it
were seriously taken UP for considera-
ton, the republicans would have an op-
portunity to fifibuster on the motion to
adopt 1t.
Senate leaders today discussed the pos
sibility of the House passing the Weeks
bill, providing for the use of naval auxili-
aries In commerce during time of peace.
and adding to 1t as an amendment the
administration ship purchase bill. Sena-
tor Simmons pointed out that in case that
was done the Senate would have to vote
only on a motion to concur in the House
amendment to the Weeks bill, which has
already passed the Senate. This might
simplify the legislative situation in the
opinion of Senator Simmons.
When Senator Townsend completed
his speech Senator Myers of Montana,
chairman of the public lands commit

Department urging that the Senate

Myers stated that he favored getting
action on the ship bill before anything
else was done, but that he hoped the
Senate would pay heed to the Secre-
tary's request.
(. Senator Gallinger. the republican
leader, then promptly moved that the
water power bill be taken up and the
ship bill displaced. Senator Fletcher,
in charge Of the ship bill. moved to
table the Gallinger motion. and on

This country hears lots about Japan.
In fact, the average reader finds that
he knows less as he reads more.
1t is a treat, therefore, to find such
a man as Milton B. Madden of Topeka,
now of Osaka, Japan, as a returned
'prodigal son" of the capital city of
Kansas man who has been visiting
friends and relatives here after twenty
years or more in the empire of the
mikado.
Mr.. Madden has been in Topeka for
several days He is a missionary of
the Christian church. He will be in
this country for a year-then back to
the land he has learned to respect and
admire. 1t is his third visit to Amer
lea in twenty years. He is son of
the late S. B. Madden, who lived on
section of the city.
That Foolish War Talk
The first question Mr. Madden was
forced to answer in Topeka was: How
about the anti-American feeling in
Japan2'
anSwer-the reply he has adopted
since coming to this county: Moth
ing to 1.-THE people of Japan do not
war with United States. The govern
ment cannot afford it. No war cloud
is in sight over there"
Mr.. Madden pointed out to a party
of Topekans who lunched with him as
the guest of Elmo Whitmore, that
Japan was in no condition to fight this
country-from a financial and COM
mercial standpoint.
Her resources are dependent upon
the United States he said. Her big
exports come to the United States. Her
trade bulk is with this country. And
she has not recovered from the war
with Russia
But the constant talk-the Califor-
mia tlouble2' inquired a friend.
''A1H, that's it-that tells the story"
he replied. Its talk. The real peo-
pie of Japan have only the kindliest
of feeling toward the United States.

the teaching of the English language

a nation they are fairly we'll acQuaint-
ed with our conversation.
The better classes in Japan wear
American style clothes. The women,
however, still place a ban on the wear
ing of hats. And the well known
American Ivory soap is a household
word in Japan.
Mr. Madden is a most interesting
man. He is a student, man of af-
fairs very popular in his city in Japan
and has performed wonders in the
interests of his religion in the Orient.
His accounts of the life of the people
of the mikado's country sound like
historical sketches. His acquaintance
with the life-high and low-of Japan
gives him a wonderful and fascinat-
ing insight into the national customs
and manners
