] APS EDUCATING NATIVES OF
 ISLANDS

TOXIC. Aug. 23. -- Government of ficials recently returned from the Ger man South Sea islands, which were occupied by Japan after the outbreak of the European war report that Jap anese administration has been widely extended and that primary schools have been established in seven of the largest islands The archipelago which Is now ruled by Japan includes islands in the groups known as Marianne, Caroline and Marshall.
 The native children are taught the Japanese language, arithmetic, singing and sewing It is proposed to send A party of sixty leading natives to Japan during the summer or autumn. A regular line of steamers maintains communication with Japan, while Jap anese sailings vessels and launches run between the various islands. The actual disposition of the islands is to be decided at the peace conference which will follow the present war.
 MT. Kazuyoshi Yagyu, eX-president of the Bank of Formosa, insists that successful Japanese commercial ex- pansion to the south is greatly depen- dent on successful cooperation with Chinese emigrants in the South Seas who number about 4,000.000, and they are increased by an exodus of 300, ,000 from South China every year.
 Mr Yagyu says the Chinese emi- grants are hard workers, and very prosperous, some of them having amassed large fortunes. They carry on a brisk trade with South China, and the prosperity of such places as Annoy and Swatow is doubtless largely due to remittances from emigrants which reach $5O,OOO,0O0 year He re commended the establishment of an increased number of banking houses under joint Japanase and Chinese management to be located at trade centers in the South Seas and Singa- pore.
