Urge Strengthening
 Friendship of Jap And American People

Tokio April 13.-Speeches by we'll known men urging the tightening of the bonds of friendship between Jap an and the Uniteda States were made. at a. luncheon given in honor of Dr. Jokichi Takamie, of New York, by, the new America Society of sTokio. Dr. Takamine is returning to New York. and he has been elected as honorary president of the new Tokio. organiza- tion which is similar to the Japan So- ciety of New York.
 All the speakers, including Viscount Kaneko, Dr. Juichi Soyeda and Eki5 Hioki, formerly minister to China,. dwelt upon the desirability of finding. solutions to the so-called American problems. MT. Hioki in particular said that the recent Idaho bills were. a warning that the questions were not yet settled and declared that the two governments should earnestly take up, the matter and strive for a solution;
 Dr. Soyeda prophesied that Japan and the United States would be more firmly united than ever before and he expressed the hope that President Wilson would sen Japan as ambassa- dor a man who would complete the good work begun by the late Ambas- sador Guthrie.

Armenian Industry To Be Reborn With
 Aid of Americans

New York, April 13.-Agents of the and Syrian Relief who are distributing in Armenia and Syria the money and supplies forwarded from America by the committee are making arrange ments for re-establishing the prostra- ted industries of those countries. the committee announces. The agents state that the demand for cattle, imple- ments and seed for planting is urgent and preparations have been made to satisfy it, so far as possible. ,
 In addition, the committees repre- sentatives are planning to establish woolen, cotton and leather industries in the chief centers of population and are making arrangements for the pur- chase of material for manufacture in small factories. <
 Supplies are now being forwarded to the destitute Armenians and Syrian refugees in the trans-Caucasus region by new route from Moscow to All exandranopol and Erivan. Future de- lfveries by this new route, will be comparatively easy, the Committee announces.
 Notwithstanding the relief already afforded, the agents of the committee in Armenia and Syria, in messages jpst received here, state that "condi-, tions are worse than last year" be- cause the stores of supplies have been exhausted. g
 '"The condition of refugees has reached critical stage" wires the agent at Erivan. Nearly two years exiled from the.r homes What little money for possessions they were able to bring with them now exhausted. Great distress from hunger. Bedding entirely lacking.

THE ]" FIVE CENT kINC''

Ambitious young men whose goal is business success may find may use- full lessons in the career of Frank w. Woolworth, owner of hundreds of five and ten cent stores all over America,
 and builder of the $13,500,000 New
 ork skyscraper which dominates the sky line of the metropolis. He was
 born in the village, of Rodman, NY, sixty-five years ago today, April IS,
 1852, and received his education in the public schools and a business col lege. After leaving school he was en-
 ployed as a clerk in a store, and, all though his salary was small, he mar
 ried at the age of twenty-four. Per- haps matrimony proved a spur to his ambition, and, at any event, he began to look about for a more profitable
 line. NDespise not the day of s1nan
 things" must have been his uncon- scious motto. The store in which he
 was employed had 8 counter devoted to cheap goods, and this suggested to
 him the idea of a little store handling
 only merchandise priced at five cents.
 Young Woolworth had a reputation
 for integrity and industry. Had it
 been otherwise, this story would not
 be written. That reputation enabled him to borrow the sum of $350, and.
 with that capital, he opened five cent store in Utica.
 The Utica store was failure. Utica people found the idea amusing, but they did not spend many nickels in the original Woolworth store, and during the brief period it was in operation the owner was barely able to pay ex- penses. Right there was where the average man would have thrown up his hands and quit. That is exactly what Woolworth's friends advised him to do. Having confidence in his idea, he rejected these words of wis dom, and made a long search for a better location. He found it in Lan- caster, Pa., where, in tiny store. with fixtures costing only $20, he sold SIPS, worth of goods the first day. With the profits from the Lancaster store he opened others in Harrisburg and York. Both failed, but other ci- ties were tried with success. The five and ten cent store became an institu- tion which has made tremendous fortune for the pioneer, and for many who have follewd his example.

True Gernnan-A American.

The Chicago Tribune recently print ed as part of a leading editorial a letter from one of it's readers a. let ter which is so remarkable as an ex- Ipression of the conflict of feeling in the minds of the majority of German Americans that it is worth reproduc- ing. It says:
 March 30, 1917.
 The Editor, Tribuneff- My emo tiQns tell me one thing in this awful time, but my reason tells me other things. As German by birth it is a horrible calamity that I may have to fight Germans. That is natural, is it not so? But as an American by preference I can see no other course open.
 We are urged by sincere pacifsts like MT. Pinchot to adopt "a vigorous no war;" But attack is sometimes the best protection.
 For 25 years Germany has shown dislike for the United States the Sa- moan affair, the Hongkong contre- temps. the Manila Bay incident, the unguarded words of the kaiser him. self and, lastly the Haitian contro- yersy in 1914.
