JAPAN IN FIVE DECADES
LEARNS 8OO-yEAR LESSON
DR.. Wood. in Sermon. Points to Eu-
ropes Slow Progress and Nippon's
Rapid Advancement.

Japan learned in five decades what it
took Europe 500 years to master. The
F1owery Kingdom still looks to Amer
lea for many of its examples. Had
Japan kept close to it's first teacher
and made her alliance with the United
States she would not have been drawn
into the European conflict and would
face less troubled future. These
were some of the points made in the
sermon on Japan and the War" deliv-
cred last night at the Church of the
Covenant by Rev. DR.. Charles Wood.
In part, DR.. Wood said:
IF it be true that the key of the
orient hangs on the door of Japan, it
matters much that Japan should not
attempt the future with the past
blood rusted key but it is undeniably
true that the use Japan will make of
that key Is in no small degree depend
ent on us. Japan still looks to her first
teacher-America-to see how an up
to-date civilized nation ought to be
have itself
THE japanese are extremely imi-
tative people and are most anxious not
to initiate anything but the best. They
were almost as much impressed by our
return of a large slice of indemnity as
signed to us for the losses in the Boxer
uprising as were the Chinese them
selves.

RARE BOTANIC GARDEN
PLANTS ARE MUT|LATED
Vandalism May Deprive Public of
Sunday Visiting Privilege-De-
tectives to Guard.

Vandalism by Sunday visitors at the
Botanic Garden may deprive the pub
lie of the privilege recently extended
by Supt. George W. Hess. On each OF
the four Sundays that Mr.. Hess has
kept the greenhouses open for sight
seers some of the rare and valuable
plants have been mutllated by persons
who apparently fail to realize their
value, and the fact that they cannot he
grown from such sprigs or branches as
are being broken off. one of the best
specimens of the Bird of Paradise
plant, one of the principal attractions
in the main conservatory. was thus mu-
tilated yesterday. The best bloom on
this plant was broken Off and an at
tempt made to dig up part of the
roots.
Supt Hess is going to have plain
clothes men on duty hereafter during
the visiting hours and a close watch
will be kept to prevent further wanton
destruction of the rare plants, some OF
which are to be found nowhere else in
the United States.
Nun Plant Soon to Bloom.
Probably by Sunday one Of the pref
test of the freak towering plants at
the Botanic Garden will be in bloom.
This is known as the nun plant, the
bloom bearing a close resemblance to
a nun, with dark eyes, red lips and a
white cap, encased in a shell-like COW
ering.
More than 800 persons visited the
garden yesterday. and the stream of
sightseers continued until the gates
were locked at dusk. Supt. Hess per-
sonally conducted as many of the
guests as he could about the grounds
and greenhouses. Among them We're
number of the members of Congress
who, though they have been in WASH
ington for years, had never before Wis
tied the garden.
School teachers are taking advantage
of Mr.. Hess offer to pay particular at
tention to groups of children from the
schools who come to the Botanic Car
den in charge of their teachers. A
number of these parties were his
guests Saturday, and the children were
much interested in the museum of
plant life.

Altruism Amazes Them.

They know all about what We have
done in Cuba and what We are trying
to do in Porto Rico and in the Philip
pines. This would-be American altru
ism amazes them, but they appreciate
it, nevertheless, as force even moro
effective than is gunpowder. They
will only attempt, timidly at first to
make any use of it, for they have many
sad examples, among our western na-
tons of the contempt for intangible
forces.
How can we expect people only
half Christian. even theoretically, to be
more Christian than Europeans who
have protested Christianity for cen
turtles?
Had Japan been in an alliance with
America she would not have been
drawn into the maelstrom of this war
Had she followed American ideals she
might possibly have had less territory
ten years from now, though that is
open to question. but undoubtedly she
would have had more friends

WANTS PROVISION MADE
FOR WORLD CIVIC BODIES
Mrs. Dimock Argues for Completion
of Fund for George Washington
Memorial Building.

The unsettled condition of Europe
which probably will follow the great
war now in progress is advanced by
Mrs. Henry r. Dimock, president of the
George Washington Memorial Associa-
ton, az reason why Americans should
contribute toward the fund to erect "A
George Washington Memorial building
in this city. In speaking of the move
ment to build a great memorial to the
first President of the land in this city
in the form of convention hall Mrs.
Dimock today said that suitable provi-
sion should he made here to house the
great international congresses which
have been meeting in European CAPT
tails heretofore
No Available Places in Europe.
1T is not likely that any congresses
of scientific or learned bodies are going
to meet in Berlin. Paris or London for
many years to come" said Mrs. Dimock.
"And so they will be inclined toward
Washington. And the shame of it is
that there is no suitable convention
hall. So. instead of looking on the war
as an excuse for not supporting this
patriotic work with enthusiasm we
ought to look on the war great
reason why the George Washington
Memorial should be brought to speedy
conclusion
OF the s2.500,000 needed to build the
proposed memorial, $250,O00 has been
contributed. according to Mrs. Dimock.
Congress has granted permission to
erect the building on the site of the
old Pennsylvania railroad station at

Equalized Mail Charges.

Nv lille chairman of the postal COM

when the one-cent letter proposition
is to he taken up it should be done
with the idea of making all classes
of mail pay as nearly as possible what
IT actually costs the government TO
handle it
Il know that some publishers are re-
ported to be much worked up over the
prospect of an increase in the second
class rate, but ! have talked with some
or the largest periodical publishers>a and
they inform me that they would not
oppose an increase in the second class
rate If there was any disposition
shown to place the Post Office Depart
ment on a business basis. In some re-
spects they perhaps have reason to
feel that the department is not being
run as economically as II private BUSH
ness. But i'll any case there is no rea-
son why the first class mailers should
he forced to pay more to take care of
this condition than those who get the
benefit of the second, third or fourth
classes.
