person who is not registered and has
not paid the tax to have in his pos
session or under his control any of
the aforesaid drugs, and such pos
session will be construed as presump-
tive evidence Of violation of the act.
This provision, however, does not ap-
ply to any employees of a registered
person or to Nurse under the super
vision OF a physician, dentist of vet
mary surgeon registered under the
2st, provided such possession is by
virtue Of his employment or occupa-
ton, and not on his own account.
United States, state, county, munic-
ipal, territorial and insular officers
lawfully engaged in making pur-
chases respectively for the army and
navy, the public health service, ana
federal, state, county and municipal,
territorial and insular hospitals or
prisons, are exempted from the pro-
visions of this law; and sales, deliv-
cries, etc, to these officers and in
stitutions are not affected by the law;
but private hospitals and institu-
tions are not exempted.
AS to Cocaine
Section of the law exempts from
this law all preparations and
narcotics containing stipulated guam
titles of the prohibited drugs, but it
should be carefully noted that these
exemptions do not apply to cocaine
or any of it's salts, whether alone or
in combination with other drugs, and
all sales of cocaine in any or every
form whatever must be made in pur-
suance of written order on the
blanks supplied by the collector. 1t
will also be noted that while the title
of the law and the first section of it
does not mention alpha or beta eu-
caine, Section 6 provides that the ex-
emptions shall not apply to "lini-
ments, ointments and 'other prepare,
lions which contain cocaine or any of
its salts or alpha or beta eucaine or
any Of their salts or any synthetic
substitute for them.
1t should be remembered that the
Harrison law is taxation or revenue
measure and applies to all transac-
tlons in every state, city or town and
is not confined to sales in Interstate
traffic. 1t should also be borne in
mind that it is necessary for all deal
ers to continue to observe state and
municipal laws regarding the sale of
narcotic and poisonous drugs. Atten-
tion is also called to the fact tha,
there is no advantage in retailers or
dispensers purchasing large quanti-
ties of the prohibited drugs prior to
March l, as it will only add to the
work of reporting stocks on hand in
the inventory required by the regula-
tions to be taken on that date.
The penalty for violating any of the
provisions Of the law is fine of not
more than $4,000 or imprisonment 70"

JAPS WOULD GO
Yellow Skins Anxious to Send
Troops to Europe.
Mass Meetings to Plead With
Government for Action.

Yokohama, March 4.-The project
of sending Japanese army to Eu-
rope is to be pushed still further by
those who have proposed the idea.
mass meeting was held here on
February 4, and largely attended by
those who cheered the chauvfnistic
speeches. The following resolution
was adopted:
1.-The Association Advocating the
Dispatch of Japanese Troops to Eu-
rope pledges itself to do its best to
induce the Imperial Government to
arrange with the governments of
Great Britain, Russia and France the
terms on which Japanese troops are
to be dispatched to Europe, in COM
pliance with their desire With this
end in view, the present association
will try to create public opinion on
the subject
Shuroku Kuroiwa, editor of the
Yorodzu, a newspaper which has
been active in support of the plan of
sending troops to Europe, declared in
a speech at the meeting that if the
present war should end in victory for
the Germans, the future of Japan
would be in danger. He held it was
most important that Japan should
do all in its power to avert such an
issue. He also said if the Allies were
victorious their Influence would nee
essarily extend to the East and an
alliance with these powers would be
necessary. Under these circumstances
he believed Japan would do well to
render assistance at the present
time.
He spoke of a third possibility,
namely, that if the war should be a
long one, to the eXha uStiOn of the
belligerent powers, it would be inev-
table that the United States would
gain the ascendency. in which event
he thought pressure would be brought
to bear upon Japan by the United
States.
Korshiro Kurahara, a member of
parliament. also spoke He asked
why the Japanese people acted as If
the war were brought to an end with
the fall of Tsingtau The present, he
said, was a most critical period for
Japan, and it was the duty of the
nation to give full play to the Yamato
spirit characteristic of the japanese
people and to dispatch troops to Eu-
rope without delay

1t had been in almost cOnti1 us
session since President Wilson's inau-
guration two years ago. Beginning
with an extra session called by the
president April Z. 1918, the congress
has worked actually 637 days.
Much important legislation was ac-
compliShed, but much contemplated,
some of it hard pressed by the presi-
dent and party leaders, was left un-
done. 1t is the present intention of
tke president and his advisers to give
congress a rest. Rather than force
an extra session. they would leave the
remainder of the administrations con-
structive aspirations to a new congress
next winter, which, although under
Democratic control. will have a great
