A MIGHTY BUDDHIST
CTNVITIy INOI) IA


1t is now over six centuries, says the
Kobe Chronicle, since Nichiren Shonin
founded the Hokke sect of Buddhism
i'm Japan, and with a view to perpetu-
ating his memory Takami Jiyei a
well known Buddhist, some time ago
conceived the project of erecting tre-
mendous monument to Nichiren. His
attention was drawn to the prodigious
rock, popularly known as Thirty
three ken (19S feet) Rock" on an islet
called the Ushigakubi Shima, about
mile and a half off Uni, in the Inland
Sea. The Islet is owned by Mr.. Nishio,
very rich resident of Okayama, who
gratuitously placed the whole of 1t at
the disposal of Mr.. Takami This en-
terprising Buddhist intends to have
the colossal rock hewn into an image
of Nichiren. which would then form
one of the largest figures of the kind in
the world.
The plan is supported by many dis
tinguished japanese, including Ad-
miral Togo.
Takeuchi Kyuichi, an expt in the
Imperial Household service, was ap-
pointed to supervise the work. Ac-
cording to his Investigations, the rock
on Ushigakubi Shima. though popu-
larly called Thirty-three ken Rock"
stands over forty-four ken (264 feet)
and is of perfect granite throughout
The image, when completed will be
240 feet high; the face will measure
IS feet by 81 feet, the eyes being 6
| feet long, the nose S.3 feet. the lips
rs, feet, and the ears IA feet, while
| the hands will, measure 26 feet The
cost of this prodigious image is esti-
mated at 100000.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-Three
United States senators today de-
nounced the recent handling Of this
country's International affairs as a
reversion to secret diplomacy. They
declared that not only have recent
matters been Eedged about with Sec
recy as far rs the public Is concern
ed, but that even the senate foreign
relations committee has not been
given opportunity to know what Is
going on These senators who thus
voiced disapproval of this govern
ment's methods In handling the coun-
try's foreign affairs. are Poindexter
Of Washington state, Weeks OF Mas
sachusetts and Sutherland of Utah. y
my understanding Is that the
present administration has declared
itself an ardent foe to secret diplom-
acy," said Poindexter. "In practice.
however, it has shown itself a past
master in the art of mystery and
concealment.
There are veiled rumors Of secret
policies affecting the vital interests
Of the country which the president
will commit to us without consulting
us. There Is even debate Of public
men as to the ultimate extreme Hrilts
of the constitutional powers OF the
present to set aside the Monroe doc
trine, for instance:
ITO enter into q league Of peace
or agree to 10 go; or to commit tpe
country to that policy without the
advice andl consent of the senate.
What is more important Is .hat
these great movements are taken
without the advice and con 'e1t OF
public opinion which Is supposed to
be the governing factor in democ-
facy such as this.
ut is far better than secret
diplomacy in so far as vital policies
are concerned should be done away
with forever.
Sunlight and the open air are the
great disinfectants in the world and
would tend TO a wholesome conduct
of our foreign affairs
II am at loss to account for the
secret moves being made by the ad'
ministration." Senator Weeks said.
ut places the people in an embarras-
sing position. After a step Is taken
the people are compelled to support
the president, even though they may
have different ONIONS concerning the
matter"
The president formerly conferred
with the committee on foreign rela-
tions on matters Of this character,
said Senator Sutherland, about
three years ago, when the MexicaD
situation was forem ost in public in
terest, he suddenly stopped these
conferences He is not obliged to
confer with anyone, but greater re-
suits could be obtained by the DID

department each year selects by lot
from those Who have reached 20. the
number of men it requires for the

vice is one year in the army and
two years in the navy. For the period
after completing the term of training

After thirty the regular passes

ing President Sheppard OF the railway

The statment follows:
While meeting with President
Wilson last August at his insist
ence, our commission waived
their request for time and half
over time, which was fully fifty
per cent of their original demand.
and at the suggestion of the pres
ident accepted his proposition,
which was:
Concession Of eight hour day;
e postponement of the other de-
mands; as to payment for over
time and the other suggestions
of the railway managers until ex-
perience had fully disclosed the
consequences Of the eight hour
day.
In the meantime the constitu-
ton, by authority of congress, OF
a commission or body of men, ap-
pointed by the president to OBJ
serve and investigate and record
upon these consequences, were
also recommended.
In so doing they would secure @
the eight hour basis they had
won. But the enactment OF the
