tion provided for and not in excess Of

ISHN PLEDGES OPEN
DOOR FOR AMERICA
in JAPAN AND CHINA

NEW YORK, Sept. .3o.-An -open
door" for the United States in Japan
as well as in China was the solemn
pledge of Viscount Ishii. head OF the
imperial japanese mission, at the
banquet given by the city in honor of
the mission at the waldorf last night
Reinsurance of Japan's unfaltering
determination to stick through thick
and thin to the entente cause and
predictions OF early peace and world
freedom brought a brilliant gathering
to Its feet In cheers
or Japanese attitude toward the
commercial advances of the western
world, the viscount said:
There was no need-there Is no
need-to close that door on you, be-
cause We welcome your fair and
honest competition in the markets
everywhere / am persuaded that the
grumblings and the wisperings about
closed door in China by the jap

from the broad and generous heart
of the enterprising American, but is
the result OF ten years OF an enemy's
effort to create prejudice and dis
trust.
But this propaganda of i'll will has
by no means stopped with the per
ststent cry OF q closed door. Much
has been written about Japan's policy
toward China as being one that sought
only the aggrandizemento OF Japan and
the confusion. disruption or oppres-
sion Of our neighbor. Here again let
me reassure you. We want good gov
ernment, which means peace, security.
and development OF opportunity In
China The slightest disturbance in
China Immediately reacts on Japan
when japan or America appeared
to make progress IN China we always
have had the sinister rumor Of oppres-
sion or-the false suggestion OF a
policy directed against the integrity
Of that country; boycotts which have
cost you first of all and then us III
spared millions: revolutions, disturb
ances and civil war have prevented a
development by which first of all

another woman who has given large
ly OF personal service for the sake
of her country. She not only had
sent from Chicago a dozen huge trac-
tors at enormous cost to put the
ground on Long Island in shape for
planting, but she has established sew
eral canning kitchens on the island
and employed expert cooks to teach
the women how to preserve what they
have grown this season.
Mrs. Vanderbilt's interest in the
food question made 1t possible for wo-
men OF small means to have a goodly
share in the bumper crop that was
grown on Long Island this year. She
provided rest rooms near the canning
kitchens and sent word for the wo-
men with young children to bring
them along and she would see that
they were taken care of and amused
while the mothers took advantage of
the expert lessons in how to conserve
and preserve.
Any day anywhere along the line
from Hicksville to Garden City, where
the kitchens are installed. Mrs. Van
derbilt may be seen trundling one OF
the baby carriages and playing fairy
godmother to a number OF small chill
dren.
Girl Patriots In Khaki.
Miss Christine Harrington. a young
English girl, a member OF the wo-
mans Defense League, has found a
new vocation since the war began. In
her suit of khaki-the costume of the
league-she patrols the parks and in
terests herself in the chIldren's work
and play. Commissioner Woods re-
Gently said that the appointment of
young women for this work was a
worthy idea and would doubtless be
carried out on a large scale later.
The realization that we are in this
war Is daily coming home to the wo-
men OF America. and in every line of
endeavor they are finding work to do
that would never have occurred to
them in times OF peace.

SOCIETY WOMEN
JOIN THE RANKS
OF WAR WORKERS
BY MARGERY REX.

People who write things about the
war are fond OF telling how it is
building up the young man who used
to stand around the corners and
smoke cigarettes. They are overlook
ing the tonic effect OF the great strug'
gle upon all classes Of society. Women
who but a few months ago were
chiefly interested in what fashions
Paris would evolve for the coming
season, are now looking toward the
mecca Of fashion as the mecca OF sac
rifice, and the place that sets the
mode in personal service to ones
country and countrymen.
Nowhere is this shown more strong
ly than in the ranks Of New YOrk's
society women. They are taking q
serious interest in the material mat
ters OF life; not because many of
them have to, but because IT is a part
of the general plan for having every
body do something to help win the
war, and help bear the burden of
those who are going to win it.
Prominent among the women who
are serving in the ranks of the new
womanhood are Mrs. Frank A. Van
derlip, Mrs. william X. Vanderbilt,
jr., and Miss Christine Harrington.
Mrs. VanderIIp's Work.
Mrs. Vanderlip. who is the wife OF
the president OF the National City
Bank, and a noted suffragist. has
since the beginning OF the war and
the call to the coIors been immensely
interested in the worth while things
women could do to demonstrate their
patriotism. She was on the commit
tee OF women appointed by Mr.. Nc
Adoo, Secretary of the Treasury, to
help float the first Liberty bond. She
did notable work in this campaign
When the President requested all
Americans to plant gardens, and to try
in every way to conserve food to feed
our allies and so safeguard and reduce
the high cost of living here, Mrs. Van
derIIp was among the first to turn her
beautiful estate in Scarborough into a
mammoth truck patch. where she
spent several hours of every day
caring for IL. Now that the garden
is ready to yield results, she has had
