NEW YORK, Feb. 23.-What
was regarded today as a frank
warning from Japan that some
thing must be done to stop re-
strictive measures against Japan
ese in America, was voiced before
the Worlds Court league meeting
by DR.. T. Iyenaga, supposed to be
an official government spokes-
man.
MANY Japanese have come
here,' he said, lin obedience to
and under protection of the
treaty between our two countries.
Strangely enough, however, we
are not all treated or protected
alike. Those living east of the
Rocky mountains are most hospi-
tably and royalty treated. But
those who reside on the Pacific
coast not only receive sometimes
harsh treatment, but in some in
stances have been deprived of

His reign now became one of
long wars against the French,
Russians and Austrians.
In his oftentimes disastrous bat
ties he was aided at times by the
English.
The Russians and Austrians
were Frederick the Greats i'm

the total destruction of the new
Prussian power, but his fathers
great military preparations stood
Frederick In good stead and at last
he came out of the Seven Years
War--a terrific conflict of ex-
haustion-with Silesia permanent
ly annexed from Austria and his
kingdom recognized as one of the
real powers of Europe.
Then the terror of Napol-
con buried all the continents
and the trend of Prussian ex-
pansion was for the time
drowned in blood.
Napoleon's armies entered Ber-
lin, the Prussian capital. The net
result of the Napoleonic invasions
was that Prussia lost for a time
$4,000 square miles of territory
and 100000 population, and was
forced to pay huge indemnities.
In the meanwhile, Napoleon had
built up the south German states
into a confederacy to act as a bull
wark for France against Prussia.
When Napoleon was finally de-
feated. the old German empire
had totally ceased to exist.
A feeble confederacy of 80 i'm
poverished German states was
formed in its place to bring some
sort of order out of the chaos
which Napoleon had left.
Resentment at all they had suf-
fered from Napoleon, however,

Harlowton, Mont. Miss Kirk, un-
der oath, alleges the Darst child
frequently came to school with
black and blue marks, resulting
from beating she obtained from
the Fletchers. She says that the
child told her that she was afraid
of her foster parents. One time
the child came to school with one
side of her face covered with
marks from beating.
Several times the child had lost
some articles on the way to school,
as once handkerchief, another
time a slipper. In all these in
stances the child was afraid to go
home, as she knew her foster par
ents would beat her for losing the
articles, Miss Kirk alleges.
She claims that Mrs. Fletcher
told her that her husband had a
violent temper. Mrs. Fletcher told
her that the custody of the Darst
child was breaking up her home,
