But these different contests did not in

did not find them at all to my taste'
In 1917 Guynemer, now captain. was
to reach the apex Of his career and then
die. He did not fly as much as before,
but IN nine months he trebed his record,
gaining twenty-eight official victories. In
May he won seven victories in twenty
seven days. This is careful copy of

And then Mr.. Kinnosuke gives US
food for thought with the statement
that although with the aid Of Hearst
and German propaganda America has
insisted on thinking of the japanese as
the poor benighted children Of Oriental
autocracy,' the growth Of democracy
9mong the people of Japan has been

What really happened in japan. ac-

SPECTATORS and the rice farmers started
the price running upward, and that the
government, by various kinds of inter
ference, couldn't stop it. The result
says Mr.. Kinnosuke, was these nation
VIDE riots, not "a revolt against the
government. 1t is the revolt of the poor
against the tyranny Of the money
