 We are frankly told that Japan took possession of the province of Flu kien for the purpose of keeping other nations out Japan had heard that this government thinking of acquiring dock wards in San Tao harbor That, in the opinion Of the Japanese would not be to the advantage of Japan, since it might some time become base of operations against the island of Fornosa

There are many men who have heretofore looked with some suspicion, not unmixed with prejudice of political nature the deliberations of womens clups Indeed, many men have been inclined to re- gard these clubs as organized conspiracies against mans welfare rather than coadutors the general good.
 But instead of asking themselves what may be done with, or to. husbands, these St Louis women are lending themselves to the corlmendable task of planning campaign of helpfuness to the bread winners
 Without awaiting the formulation of concrete plans for help. will be much encouraged bv the mere raising of the question and by the spirit of operation shown It is large question. this issue of domestic hepfulness. but one. Many women have met it in the past successfully without club discussions, and have eXerted determining in- fiuences upon their husbands careers.
