reaches after his thorough discussion
of the relations that have existed, past
and present, between this country and
the rising kingdom of the East. is
that war between Japan and America
during the present generation is a
most unlikely contingency. This con-
clusion he bases upon the absolute
necessity which exists for continued
friendship between the two countries
and he gives most logical reasons why
he has reached this conclusion. War
with America, he says, would be ma
tional suicide for Japan. and it is
his belief that Americans are COM
ing to realize more and more that in
the recoSn ion of Japan's aspirations
as an oriental power lies our policy
in that il will be to our advantage to
admit those aspirations and Coop
crate with them.
The friendliness which formerly eX-
listed between the United States and
Japan as the result of our assistance
to them in their struggle for autonomy,
has given way to suspicion on both
sides as a result of certain diplomatic
negotiations on our part in connec-
ton with Japan's relations with China
and Russia. Impossible proposals,
says the author, were made by the
United States to Japan after she had
rooted herself securely in Manchuria
and annexed Korea contrary to her
previously aVowed intentions. Fear of
danger TO our commercial policies and
aspirations is also assigned as an
other cause of the gradual estrange-
ment between the two countries; like
wise must the Filipino attitude to-
ward Japan as a pagan country be
considered in reaching our final con-
clusions on the foreign situation. There
is everything to gain and nothing to
loco -, s..V, s..s.
accord with the sound business belief
that cooperation is better than cut
throat competition, and the recipro-
city that should be observed by rea-
son of our desire for the open door"
in China and Japan's wish for the
equivalent of a Monroe Doctrine for
the East would force Europe to
acquiesce in the assurance of peace
in the Pacific"
Anent the Philippines-the author
proclaims aloud against the relin-
gushing of our present jurisdiction
and supintendency of those islands,
and he gives as his reason the sincere
belief, based on the knowledge that
extensive travelling in the East has
brought him, that a withdrawal of
American sympathetic interest and
capital would result in a condition in
the Philippines analogous to that of
Mexico, and that some other country
would shortly have to step in and
intervene. Nothing would be gained
for the Philippines themselves and the
United States would be out of touch
with a country that is becoming in
creasingly advantageous to us COM
mercially at the present time. Japan's
economic condition would never per-
nit of her assuming control OF the
islands and a joint directorate is not
feasible by reason of the cheapen-
ing of the value of international con-
tracts and agreements.

The South Mountain wants a certifi-
cate to enable it to build trolley line
and also wants the certificate issued
to the Lancaster and Berks company
rescinded because it has not con-

company contends that it has not al

working and that its rights can not
be forfeited.
The Commission has also dozen or

FINAL GAME FOR
DONOVAN'S HERD
Buffalo Scheduled For Second
Game With Motive Power
Nine
By CY. KIO\E,

Buffalos training season in Harris
burg ended to-day. The Bisons this
afternoon lined up at Island Park for
a second game with Mike Friers Penn
sylvania Railroad Motive Power de-
partment team. The railroaders gave
the International league players a
hard battle on Wednesday.
Manager Patsy Donovan will leave
tomorrow for Richmond, Va. on
Monday he starts series with the Nir-
sinia league and will play exhibition
games until the regular season opens
one week later.
Training in Harrisburg has proven
rather costly for the Buffalo herd. Bad
weather was a big factor in putting
crimp in chances to get some money
out of practice games The contest
this afternoon promised much inter
est. The railroad shops close down at
noon, and preparations were made for
4 large attendance.

The Greater Tragedy, and other
Things, by Benjamin Athop Gould.
&C. P. Putnam's Sons, New York,
$1,000
Editorial in form. there has prob
ably been no newspaper editorial
printed that attacks as powerfully
and logically, nor as much in the spirit
that recalls the days of 20, as this
sharp, incisive discussion of our coun-
try's position in relation to the other
countries of the world at this time.
The writer is an American. living in
Canada. so perhaps il will be we'll to
discount his vitrolic comments some
what. in all fairness. by reason of the
almost inevitable prejudice which
close association with the actual
fighters on one side or the other must
cause.
Virile and to the point is every
statement that is made. One must
admire the spirit which prompts the
straightforward criticism of our Chief
Executives attitude toward the inter
national problems that have been con-
fronted in recent months. Whether
the individual agrees with them or
not, it must he admitted that the same
view is held by thousands, yes mil
lions OF Mr.. Gould's fellow-country-
men. The book deplores the weak
and selfish position in which the ad
ministration by it's attitude and
action has placed this country" 1t
strongly advocates lining up on the
side of the Allies on the ground of
their certain success in the European
war and future domination of the
commercial world situation. He is
ardently in favor of a larger navy for
this country, not in order to protect
us against France and England, as he
says, but to be able to cooperate with
them in the great work they are do
ing to spread and keep alive the much
mulled-over democratic ideal" He
feels that we are permitting England
and France to bear the brunt of a
struggle for an ideal to which we
heartily subscribe, and that out atti-
tude of neutrality is supTemely selfish.
1t is like that of a small boy who is
part owner of a stick of candy with
another small boy. but allows the
other boy to do all the fighting for the
candy while still willing to share in
the fruits of victory. The candy is
our democratic ideal"
Our lack of military power does
not make the blood money to be paid
for the murdered victims of the Lusi-
tania look any the less crimson to our
eyes" is one of the living sentences
that illustrate passing well the fire
breathing patriotism that WHITES his
strong utterances. And he makes bold
to prophecy that Wilson's Ides of
March will this year fall on the Tues
day after the first Monday of Novem-
ber."

MOtO-Meter Protects
Motorists in Many WAYS

THE appearance in rapid success
sion of moto-meters on a number of
standard automobiles is one more ap-
plication of the old doctrine that an
ounce of prevention is worth a pound
of cure" says B. F. Barker, of the
Miller Auto Co, distributor for the
Haynes Light Six"
The old way of attending to mo-
tors on trip of necessity savored a
little Of b guess an b. gosh methods.
If the cooling and lubricating systems
of the automobile engine were con-
stantly and properly looked after.
everything was well and good, but if
the radiator boiled or went dry, it was
a two-to-one chance that the driver
would not find it out until a piston
stuck or cylinder was scored.
The motometer is purely a pre-
paredness device that protects the
modern leViathan of the roads against
such accidents as an untitled radiator.
a clogged oil pipe, bad oil, or a dry
reservoir. Standing between cracked
and scored cylinders. burned out bear
ings and high fuel and oil consump-
ton, it is excellent motorcar insur-
ance.
IAN idea can be formed OF the dan
ger TO which an under-cooled motor
is exposed from the fact that the ex-
plosions in the cylinder combustion
chambers generate a heat of 5000 to
1000 degrees Fahrenheit.
This heat if allowed a free hand
Will cause an oVer-eXpansion of the
nicely-adjusted moving parts, which is
inevitably serious.
by guarding against overheating
the moto-meter protects against an
eXtravagant gasoline and oil consump-
tion. Hot motors use up prodigious
amounts of fuel and lubricants and In
the latter case the extreme heat is
liable to cause the formation of large
carbon deposits on the valves and
valve seats.
"A motor is in danger before the
water in the cooling system reaches
the boiling point. 1t is in serious dan
ger when steam forms since water is
being lost rapidly from the cooling
system, permitting the engine tenn
perature to rise rapidly.
THE best running temperature is
1870 to $50 degrees, and this can be
plainly indicated to the driver in his
seat at all times by the moto-meter
"a year ago only three of the better
makes of cars were fitted with moto-
meters while at the present time prac-
tically all the standard automobiles
advertise them as regular equipment"
