FORCED TO ATTACK.

This discovery ncccssitatcd a new policy.
During the SOS and in a lesser degree IN
the 'oos the government OF Japan had been
content TO act in modest and retiring way
in Far Eastern affairs. Bssing all her ar
ranecmcnts on the desire TO MAINTAIN the
status QUO and TO postpone open breaches
Japan had avoided testing too severely her
immature strength But by system OF sue
ccssve collapses she found herself as we
have shown not only forced to attack as the
safest policy but she was gradually driven
10 the view that in such peculiar triangular
contest it was inevitably the side eXertlng
the maximum pressure constantly and unrc-
n1ittingly which would be permanently sue
cessful Just as the first article OF faith for
England in Asia is the doctrine OF the IN
violate cosstlinc, which lays down that no
power shall seize strategic harbors for the
purpose Of cutting her communications,
so is the first article OF faith for Japan IN
Eastern Asia the doctrine OF maximum press
urc.
II Is on this framework that every diplo
matte pattern has been woven since the die
was cast in 1894 and until that signal fact is
grasped no useful analysis can be made OF
modern Japan. Standing behind this policy
and constantly reinforcing it are the scrried
ranks Of the new democracy created by edu-
cation and the great increase i'll material
prosperity. The soaring ambition which
springs from the sea lends to the attacks de
veloped by such a people the aspect OF pirs-
cies; and it is but natural in such oiroum-

mean nothing less than that they we're
short of food and somebody might be
very ill. The ships surgeon went along

The sea was smooth and the trip to
the islet was made swiftly. The sur

emaciated, having had nothing to sub

and few fish they caught at the fool
of the lighthouse. The wife of one ~
the keepers had died, chiefly of star
walton, eight days before and had been
buried at sea. The ships surgeon
merely prescribed food for the hag-

began to unload lots of it, enough to
last the lighthouse folk for more than
a week.
The lighthouse keepers said that the
supply boat had not been to the for.

they had run completely out of food.
They still had water, or otherwise
would have persisted, and ample oil to
keep the light burning.

SAIL TO EASTER ISLAND;

Harbor-Trip is Marked BY
Unusual Happeninus,

San Francisco, Cal.-With mileage
behind her equal to twice around the
world, and with three years seafaring
since she left Southampton for the
South seas, the schooner yacht Mana,
Capt. Harry Gilman powered thru the
heads the other afternoon bearing as
cargo many crates and boxes contain
ing skulls and other grewsome re-
mains of former residents of Easter
Island in the South Pacific.
The yacht is owned by r. S. Rout-
ledge of London, who has been col
lecting anthropological specimens for
the British museum. Accompanied by
his wife the scientist arrived here by
steamer from Honolulu two weeks ago
and will go home to London on the
Mana when he can pass thru the Pan
anna Canal
To the South Pacific they came via
Magellan, using sails except in Gains
when the thirty-eight horse power
engine was put into commission.
At Easter Island Routledge estab-
lished headquarters, and for nearly
two years dug among the ruins of the
little dot on the Pacific. He unearthed
specimens of prehistoric peoples and
has them all cased and labeled for
shipment to Great Britain.
During the time the party stayed on
the island, Captain Gilman took the
Mana on four round trips to Talca
hauno, Chile, for supplies, the distance
Of the trip being 1000 miles each way.
Several months ago the little craft,
which cruised extensively in the
South seas, started with her owner
for Honolulu and stayed there for
several weeks.
She came in here from Hawaii,
making the run under sail in twenty
seven days, and experiencing only
light winds the entire distance. Under
power the schooner will make six
knots but the engine was not used un-
til she came into San Francisco Bay.
I'D much rather go to sea i'm sail

stood on the small after deck of the
so foot schooner "You know when

ing to arrive at a certain time. Under

makes it spicy"
Among the crew of the Mana are
TWO men from Pitcairn Island who are
descendants of Young of the old Boun-
ty crew Neither one had seen a large
building, street car or an automo-
bile until they arrived in Honolulu,

NEBRASKA LAYS CLAIM
TO YOUNGEST PREACHER
Sixteen Year Old Boy Builds Up
Church at Elk Creek Regularly
Ordained


Church at Elk Creek Regularly
Ordained
Elk Creek, Neb.-Nebraska may
not lay claim to all the famous d.
vines of the country, but it does lay
claim to the youngest pastor in the
United States, Henry S. Atwood, 16
years old and regular ordained minis,
ter of the Christian denomination.
Young Atwood is the little parson Of
southeastern Nebraska and breaches
from the pulpit Of the church in this
town.
The peculiar thing is that Henry
Atwood cannot help being>a preacher.
For the last hundred years there have
been ministers in the family. Barton
w. Stone, coworker Z of Alexander
Campbell, was the young preachers
third great grandfather. Joseph At
wood, another great grandfather, was
a Vermont preacher.
His grandfather-for whom he was
named-was a st. Louis doctor, who
later took up the ministry. Both his
father and mother are evangelists.
Rev. Henry Atwood began preach
ing when he was IA years old. That
was in Phillipsburg, Kans. One Sun
day his father. the regular minister,
had to be out of town. Henry Atwood
filled the place and did it so well that
ever since that time he has been in
the preaching business. A year or SO
ago he preached sermon at Tecum-
sch. They heard about it at Table
Rock and the youthful minister got
cali to the church at that place after
preaching few sermons. The Elk
Greek church, few miles to the
north, had had no pastor for some
time. Henry Atwood saw a chance
to liven up the religious life in that
village and he found little trouble in
becoming the preacher there.
There are just $50 people in Elk
Creek and yet Henry Atwoods
church has 100 members. There is an
other denomination to- compete with,
too, Methodist church of long stand
ing. When he took hold the little Sun
day school had only about forty men,
bers. Now it has sixty and before ho
quits Henry Atwood thinks that it
ought to have around 100. Even the
old people are becoming Bible school
attendants.
Henry Atwood likes his job. 81 en-
joy preaching my sermons more than
anything else" he says, which prob
ably entities him to be called a sue
cessful preacher. He plans to attend
Cotner university within the next
year, when he will study for evangel-
istic work.
