Industries of Japan.
Ambassador Sato told the story OF
japanese industrial growth. He told
of the first silk filaures, established
In Japan i'm 1872 under the supervi.
sion Of a French engineer. at a time
when the total exports Of Japan. i'm
Guiding everything from silk to dried
cuttlefish," amounted to only $4,000
600 year, whereas last year Japan's
export OF raw silk alone was valued
over Sl33.500,0O0 He told how an
obscure student established the first
match factory in Il private house in
IukiO in 1875, and how Japan had de
Veloped this industry until. in 1916,
she exported over S10,000.00O worth
Of matches He told ot the first cot
ginning mill Of the western type
in Japan. It was Of British manufac-
turc. completed In 1863 and managed
by an American expert To-day" he'
said, Japan has 160 spinning fac
tories with combined paid-up capital
and reserve Of more than $62, 600, 600
gold, while cotton yarn came next to
silk as the most important item in
japanese exports. Today Japan seems
to have more ships in the Pacific than
all the American overseas traders put
together"
OF late. he said. a great deal had
been heard of the withering competi-
tion Of Japan, especially in the mar
kets Of China. but he declared that
this was largely a nightmare. The
things which Japan was exporting TO
China were things which America
was not anxious to furnish and the
things which the United States was
selling China were things which Japan
was not furnishing to any appreciable
extent.

Japan is a handful of lean islands as

rect In more senses than that IL is
altogether wrong. Some Of my friends
mere present may, perhaps. be AS
founded 10 hear that the northermost
edge oi our empire cuts the jlst de-
gree north latitude, tho same line
which hicks the northern tip OF New
ioundlaud and runs thru Siberian
SHOWS, while in the south our island
OF IOrmosa kicks its sOuthcrmost toe
thru the 22ud degree north latitude
the same line which goes thru the
heart of the West Indies i'm the CARR
bean. From north 10 south, therefore,
the empire ot Japan covers q much
greater reach than this great United
states All this naturally gives Japan
wealth of varying climatic belts and
their agricultural and marine prod
ucts. But the impression OF the spa
cious reach Of the empire created by
what | have said should be largely
discounted. Japan is by no means
continuous chain of islands stretching
from the lst degree north latitude

THE RED CROSS NURSE.

Out on the battle field she was,
maid of twenty summers,
Wearing a Red Cross uniform
And Il countcnance disnified and calm
Showing on that serene sweet face
The remaining light OF her girlhood
grace.
Her one ambition in life to save
Our brave Americans from the grave.
A handsome youth with hair Of gold
Above a face of delicate mold
Was wounded. and the blood gushed
Out Of the cash on his noble brow.
The Red Cross nurse his curly head
Upon n pillow laid,
And. shrinking not for woman's dread,
The suffering face surveyed.
Remote were they from hill and wood,
Red glowed the sinking sun,
Fast flowed the fount of youthful blood,
The battle it's worst had done.
With yards of cloth she patiently
bound
The wounds to stanch their tide.
Under her gentle. tender care
The American boy survived.
