1t is one point in our favor that the fortified
tons bill has passed both the house and the
senate. In the senate there was some DISPOSE
ton to hold it for further discussion, although
the only objections voiced were those of doubt
as to it's sufficient comprehensiveness But the
bill has been universally approved; it provides
for great amount of detailed construction and
there is every reason to believe that any supple
mentary provision can be made without in any
way derogating from those embodied in the
BILL and in the meantime every hour is valu-
able in carrying the bills provisions into effect

JAPAN,s SOUTH SEA EXIT.

The news that Japan will not sickle for the
right to retain the South Sea islands which she
helped the British wrest from the Germans at
the beginning Of the war and which she has been
administering since is in line with the predic-
ton made by Judge Gilbert II. Gray, president
of the United States Steel Corporation, on his
return from the Orient. Judge Gary assured
the United States that Japan will not go out Of
her way to pick trouble with u.s. If trouble
comes he thinks we shall be as much at fault as
Japan.
The satisfactory solution Of the South Sea
islands question followed protests from both
Great Britain and the United States British in
terests were no better pleased than American
interests to see indications of disposition on
the part of Japan to take an aggressive posi-
ton in the South seas. although we were more
vitality concerned because of the strategic Iela-
ton of the disputed islands to our cable and
naval station at Guam. Japan's ready acquies-
ence indicates that she is more bent on taking
advantage of every opportunity presented
commercially by the world war than on carry
ing chips on her shoulder. The recent appear
ance of matches of japanese manufacture in
the American market indicates the care with
which the Mikado' s people are attending to all
the details of this commercial opportunity.

The Morgan City daily review. (Morgan City, La.) 1916-1920, 1917-06-25

Mrs. E. E. Moberly, Jr., Parish
Chairman of the St. Mary Chapter
of the American Red Cross Society
gave out the statement this morning
that the parish donations to the Red
Cross Relief Fund would approx
mate about $4,000, or about twice
the amount asked of the parish by
the Washington Red Cross officials.
It also appears at this time, with
only the Sunday and Monday re-
turns to be completed, that the game
little city of Patterson will lead all
towns in St. Mary with her contri-
button Of about $340O. Morgan City
will probably be second with about
$4,000. All of the towns have been
exceedingly generous and have met
the call for help in truly patriotic
manner. The week has been crowd
ed with events given in order to pro
mote Red Cross Relief movement
and many unique and entertaining
affairs have been presented to COM
munities all over the chapter. Let
it be said and understood as abso-
lutely true that the raising of
$4,000 in the St. Mary Chapter is
due ain.csst entirely to the efforts
put forth by the women of the parish
and especially as directed o. the
parish chairman, Mrs. Moberly.
Every woman who served as a
branch captain did her full part and
each was given splendid assistance
by the members of the society and
others. The Boy Scouts were great
help to the campaign and the little
girls in this and every town in the
parish did wonderful work.
Except for few dollars collected
by tag sales here and elsewhere in
the parish, the amount was raised by

clan gave evidence that the unfor-
