England's Great Losses.

London, June 10.-A terrific toll Of
English life of 258,009 men, killed.
wounded or missing, from the begin
ming Of the war to May 81, reported
by Premier Asquith in the House OF
Commons today, astounded and
shocked London in way that nothing
has since the war began.
Large groups of grave-faced Brit
ish gathered about the bulletin boards
in serious discussions of the terrible
cost of war. That the loss of men was
great has been known; but that i
lad reached this appalling figure had
not been dreamed by anyone.
The premier's report in the house
was met by silence and a sober ex-
change of glances by members. What
its direct effort upon England will be
cannot be foretold.
A sad feature of the events sur
rounding the publication of the report
is the presence everywhere of black
garbed widows, sisters and relatives
of the hundreds of thousands who
have fallen or are missing.

FOUNDER OF JAP
SCHOOL HERE

81 want to thank the schools, the
colleges and the newspapers for their
kind treatment Hisaye Sakiayama
explained this morning in his precise
English.
Although he has only been in Amer
lea year, he is surprisingly conver-
SAINT with prevailing customs and al
though his English is broken he speaks
well.
Sakiyama has school in Toxic that
he started himself years ago. He
had no money and by sheer dogged-
ness of purpose succeeded in launch
ing his ideas. The school is still in
operation. 1t has increased in wealth
and today more than 40 students un-
der the tutelage of a faculty of g
teachers are attending Sakiyama's s
school.
When Sakiyama was boy he en-
tered japanese school and later en-
tered another Japanese school which
is the equivalent of an American uni
versity. For 8 years he was a stu
dent of the institution and during that
time paid his own expenses through
the agency of a man who owned a
dairy and who allowed the Japanese
students the privilege of peddling the
milk.
Sakiyama conceived the idea of es-
tablishing a school Of his own and aft
.er his term at the Japanese school
founded the Ayoama Students Labor
Association.
Later he bought a dairy and many
of his students are paying their ex-
penses through the same medium that
Sakiyama met his-by selling the
milk which is produced at the school
dairy.
Diaries are pet diversion with
Sakiyama. He didn't say so, but the
paper he carried explaining his mis-
sion in this country bears as the pri-
mary reason for his presence "Inves-
tigating Dairies."
"A study of the present conditions
is a secondary matter, and 'the flu
ture prospects of japanese immigrants
in foreign lands is listed as of least
Importance, as is the real meaning
of labor"
Sakiyama is making a tour of the
valley and expects to return to the
coast Later he expects to travel IL
South and Central America and thence
as far east as New York, returning
to the Pacific coast and embracing for
his native country.
He was enthusiastic over the pros
poets for his school this morning. "It's
only small school now," he said, "but
we expect to have larger one, much
larger one"
During the Is years that the school
has been in existence Ill students have
graduated after completing a course
ranging from industrial to technical
subjects.
Sakiyama carries endorsements
from many prominent Japanese.
