Japanese on the mainland predict that

will be one Of the most important In
the history Of the century. The
case is one which the mainland Japs-
nese believe will settle the question Of
friendship between Japan and the

Should Ozawa win his case, 1t means

OzaWa case will be discussed. The
case is now pending in the United

Japanese In California viii hold
meeting within a short time, and win
then discuss the Ozawa case. That

One OF the things that Cebu boasts
a is its fine wharf. They make a
great deal of the fact that today the
palatial liner can slip up TO the wharf
on the sly and get rid of its cargo be-
fore the customs officials have walked
up. whereas it was only ten years age
that boats had TO lie out in the harboT
and have the cargo transshipped into
lighters
We slipped up TO the wharf all right

weeks in the islands, | would say that

In a Chinese Home.

The most wonderful thing about a
Chinese house is the spirit of peace
which seems to pervade it. The court.
yards, inclosed by houses which are in
turn surrounded by high walls, have an
air Of security and seclusi0n which is
not to he found in our western homes.
Into these peaceful c0urtyards the noise
Of the busy world does not penetrate.
The triple doors seem to shut ont the
storms of the world and its troubles.
SO says Luther Anderson in his book
on Asia. In the more pretentiOus houses
some Of the courtyards are transform
ed into miniature landscape gardens.
There are miniature mountains, preci-
piccs. lotus ponds, bridges, erottoes and
rustic hooks The irregular rocks are
so well fitted together and built up
against the sides Of the house that they
seem to have been placed there by ma
ture long before the houses were erect
ed. The proportions are So carefully
worked out that everything seems TO be
larger than it really is. And the ar
rangement is so irregular that nature
is simulated TO perfection.
