LOS JAPONESES Sc DISPUTAN LA
SUPREMACIA DEL PACIFICO
-

NueStra patrla eSta larnada a eJercer SuS
mobiles y divinos designios en- la Historic
de la Humankind. La luz es la fuerza, Ell
calor y la vida, y nosotros somos los hijos
del gran Imperio donde mace Ell sol. Des-
pues de n~uestras luchas EN- Asia, con China
y con Russia, en- las cuales Ell mas esplen-
dido triunfo corona las armas niponas, Ell
Imperio del Japon, nuestra bella y amada
patria, ha tenido que ser considerable como
una potencia de primer orden en- el con-
cierto universal. Nuestra raza no es va
menospreciada, como antes, por ~ninguna
otra de las que haitian sobre la terra y
ahora mismo esta peleando al lado de los
europeos y de nuestros amigos de hoy, los
rusos, en- favor de la causa de la civiliZa-
cion. Solo en- Ell Continente Americana,
una raZa soberbia que sc cree superior a
las otras ha sido capaZ de prOcurar nuestra
humiliation y nuestra verguenza, restrin-
giendo nuestra immigration laboriosa y
honrada, arrojando a n~uestras hijos de sus
escuelas y amenazandonos constantemente
por su pretendido dominic del Mar Pa
cifico. Esa raza, mejor dicho, csc pueblo,
llevo sus soldados y sus canones a los ma
res de Asia y sc adueno de las islas Fill
pinas, que son vecinas nuestras, para tener
una avanzada contra nosotros; sc adueno
del Hawai-, donde tanto influjo tenian los
japoneses para tener una base naval contra
Ell Japon.
iQue sueno es csc de la conquista del
Pacifico para estorbar la expansion conner
cial y ell poderio naval de nuestra amada
patria? Y fue mas: ipretende csc pueblo
soberbio e imperialista, despues de humi-
llarnos, menospreciarnos y avergonzarnos?
Ahora pretende sojuzgar y aherrojar a
nuestros buenos amigos, a nuestros hernia
nos los mexicanos que siempre han dado
grato albergue y cuyo concrete esta init
mamente ligado con ell nuestro.
~ para que?
Para aduenarse de las costas del Occi-
dente de Mexico y arrojarnos a nosotros
del concrete de elias y enajenarnos la sim
patia de los mexicanos.
Su odio no es contra Mexico, es contra
nosotros.
Quieren que Mexico sea una presa de
el1os, para darnos I'm golpe de muerte en-
Ell Pacifico.
Japoneses: Mexico es una nacion SIM
patica para nosotros; nuestros lazos conner
ciales son grandisimos; su porvenir mira
mas al Occidente, al Pacifico, que Ell Orien-
tie. al Atlantico; es I'm pueblo de heroes,
como nosotros, que jamas consentira la do
minacion de una raza dura y brutal como
la yanqui. No podemos abandonar a los
mexicanos en- su lucha con ell que Sc cree
mas fuerte; los mexicanos sabran defen-
derse; pero les hace falta algo, en- ayuda,
que nosotros podremos darles. ST los yam
ouis invaden a Mexico; ST sc aduenan de
sus costas californianas, ell concrete Japo-
mes, la marina japonesa corren I'm grave
peligro, sobre TODD hoy que los %yanquis nos
Green impotentes por la guerra europea, y
entonces, nosotros seremos mas
arrojados del suelo americana y nuestros
hijos expulsados de todas sus escuelas.
Ayudemos a los mexicanos, ayudemos a
Mexico contra la rapacidad de los Yanquis.

$ @ < * < % |" % < < < < * PHILATHAE HAS * 3 CHINESE SOCIAL *

The Chinese entertainment given by the Philathae last evening was largely attended and hugely enjoyed. The young ladies of the class, all naturally charming, looked most be- witching in Oriental costumes. The booths and decorations were all Chinese and Japanese, the scheme having been most beautifully worked out by the young ladies themselves.
 Every number on the program was Chinese and was well received.
 The Chinese chorus by the class made a great hit, and was vociferous- ly applauded.
 Miss Thelma Ellsworth gave a Chinese recitation with a sharp point to it, and was recalled second time.
 During the evening there was a feast of chop suey, Chinese noodles, and tea.
 The Philathae has now fully estab- lished itself as a factor in the social and religious life of the community.
 "The Philathae never disappoints."

HOW SALARIES
 WILL BE GIVEN
NO COUNCIL CAN PAY MORE THAN Is FIXED AT
 BEGINNING.

According to the law councils must fix salaries of officials at the begin ming of the term and after fixing those salaries no addition can be made to them. The present city coun- cil has violated this law several times by giving handouts to some if its of fcials. Under the new order of things it is made clear that the coun- cil will have the fixing of the salaries of the officials but it should be borne in mind that when those salaries are once fixed they must remain as they are made in the beginning The fol- lowing is the section of the law gov erning the matter:
 Section 629: The council shall, at
 the beginning of the term of each
 officer, by ordinance fix his com
 pensation for the term, which com
 pensation when so fixed shall be
 neither increased or diminished
 during the term, NOR SHALL
 SAID OFFICERS BE ENTITLED
 TO RECEIVE, IN ANY FORM OR
 SHAPE, any other or additional
 compensation.
