ESTHER LEE RESCUED
FROM MOUSE RIVER
Eleven cart Old Minot Girl Fell Into
Ice-Cold Water and FlOated in
Stream for Ten Minutes

Esther Lee, eleven years old, daugh-
ter Of B. A. Lee, a Minot carpenter,
who recently came to this ciyt, nearly
lost her life in the waters of Mouse
river Saturday morning, her rescue
being simply miraculous.
The little girl was walking in com
pany with her brother along the bank
Of the river in the western part Of the
city, about two blocks beyond the
home Of DR.. A. Carr. She stepped on
a piece Of sod which gave way, letting
her fall several feet to the ice-cold
water below. She was heavily clad,
with winter coat, dress, shoes, etc,
and the great wonder is that she did
not sink. Her body foated down the
stream for two blocks, remaining on
the surface all the while. The lungs
filled with water, but still she did not
sink. A deliveryman by the name of
Lee, no relation to the child, was driv-

ing along and attracted by the cries
of the children on the bank, stopped
his car and gave the alarm. The child
was unconscious when taken from the
water, and the deliveryman took her
to the police station and having moth
ing with which to wrap her she was
badly chilled upon her arrival. The
police took her to local hospital and
for a time it was believed that she
could not possibly recover. Restora-
tives were applied and in about an
hour she regained consciousness, but
pneumonia set in in both lungs. Her
fever was 104 degrees Sunday and
doctors reported that she could hardly
survive, but she took a turn for the
better and is now out of danger.
Sivert johnson, who is employed at
the DR.. Carr home, secured a boat,
taking the child from the river. The
police patrol made fast run to the
north side of the river but as the child
was taken out on the south bank, she
was taken to the police station in the
Carr auto.

The Minot Girls Military Squad
met at the Association Of Commerce
rooms Monday evening and despite the
very inclement weather there was an
attendance Of ifty-four young ladies'.
Most of the time was spent in laying
plans for the dance that was given at
the Armory Wednesday evening, which
turned out to be a brilliant success.
The Armory was tastefully decorated
for the occasion and Flaten's orchestra
furnished the sweetest music for a
large bevy Of dancers that had been
attracted to the dance.
Tonight the first drill Of the Squad

out their lives. First aid will also be
taught them, which will make start
in fitting those so inclined for Red
Cross work. Last, but not least, the
girls can and will be used in promoting
recruiting into the army, for what
young man can resist the pleas of
beautiful girl when she points out to
him his duty to his country?
The Minot Girls Military Squad has
a lot of work ahead of it, but from the
interest manifested thus far it is safe
to say that they will not hurt Minot
any, but on the contrary will bring to
the attention of more than North
Dakota that Minot has young ladies
who are willing to do their full share
for their country in time Of need.

would seem that this committee would

be made by it to do this, so that by the
end Of the fiscal year it is safe to say
that their good work will be felt by
all the people Of this city.

square mile of land in Japan sup,
ports more than $50 people. OuI
density of population surpasses that
i of the State of New Jersey by twenty
for each square mile. The only way
which is now left for US to improve
our economic status under such cir
cumstances is to make Japan a COM
mercial and industrial nation. 1t is
our most vital question. 1t is the
fundamental motive for our economic
activity in China.
Economic Cooperation Coming.
The economic rivalry between ia
pan and the United States in China
has become a popular subject Of dis
cussion in international politics, and
there has been some sensational re-
marks made about it's eventualities.
But, under a far-sighted leadership
of prominent men of the two coun-
tries, the question is now coming to a
satisfactory settlement. The eco
The daily Missourian. [volume] (Columbia, Mo.) 1916-1917, 1917-05-20

sensational rumors, but upon soli(
facts and the truth. Mr.. George Ken
nan said in his recent article in the
Outlook that more than twenty wild
stories have been published in some
journals since 1907 about Japan's at.
titude toward the United States. But
''bugabOo" is "bugabOO" after all
The intelligence of the two nations
is too high to be affected by such ir-
responsible publicity. The founda-
ton of our friendship is too deep to
be dangerously shaken by such SEN
satiOnal nonsense.
Three Japanese.American Issues.
So far as my knowledge goes, there
are only three issues in the Japanese
American relation which should be
seriously considered by intelligent
people of the two countries. The
first is the question of Japanese i'm
migration to this country. The sec
ond is the question of the alleged am
bitten of Japan toward the Philip
pines, and the third is the question of
Japan's policy toward China.
The question of Japanese immigra-
ton, so far as it's restriction is con-
cerned, was satisfactorily settled by
the gentleman's agreement of 1908.
In the eight years following the en-
OF this agreement, only
], 1,S62 Japanese residents entered this
country by immigration, and these
include laborers and nOn-laborers.
The figure shows how effective the
measure is, and how faithfully we are
sticking to our promise.
The restriction of our immigration
was thus accomplished, and we are
now simply asking that our residents
in this country be equally treated
with other aliens. We are fully
aware, however. that equal recOgni-
ion can only be founded upon the
feeling of American people
md not upon enmity and hatred
which inevitably precede a military
hostility. You may be assured that
Japan will not go into war over this
ssue. But | want to remind you
hat your constant discrimination
lgainst our residents make them
The daily Missourian. [volume] (Columbia, Mo.) 1916-1917, 1917-05-20

more self-conscious. If you display
your national characteristic of jus.
tice and fair play and stretch your
brotherly hand to our residents, they
| will not only make you good COM
rades. but will make an unshakable
cornerstone of a permanent peace
and friendship between Japan and
! the United States.
Says Japan Doesn't Want Islands.
Certain anxiety seems to be always
entertained by American people that
Japan is coveting the Philippine
Islands, and is waiting to material
ize her ambition by military power.
But, beg to ask you, would it pay?
JAPAN is a commercial nation. Her
foreign trade which was only thirteen
million dollars lin American money!
in 1868 increased to six hundred mil
lion dollars in 1915. Her merchant
marine which was less than twenty
thousand tons in 1868 has now in
creased, with steamers only, to one
million six hundred thousand tons.
No matter what your prejudice may
be, you must give some credit to our
business sense.
If Japan goes into war with the
United States to get the Philippines,
she must lose at least one-third of
her export trade, she must contract
enmity with all other powers which
have their possessions in Asia and
on the Pacific, and she must stake her
preponderant position in the Far
East which has been won by the tre-
mendous sacrifice of her national
treasure and human lives. If you
earnestly think that Japan, with her
business sense, will run all these
risks to win the Philippines, you are
certainly overvaluing your insular
possession on the other side of the
Pacific.
Japan Wants Open Door in China.
The last and the most serious ques-
tion is that of the American
relation in China. In discussion of
the Chinese question, some people
seem to forget that there are other
nations on earth besides China, Japan
and the United States. The inter-
