LAPS SLOW TO GRASP POLITICS
 OF THAT LAND

TOXIC. March 50. - Studying the apparent indifference of the Japanese people, both toward home politics and the great war questions of the day, the Yorodzu, one of the Tokio leading dailics, says there is nothing in which the Japanese people, today, are really interested, but in economic questions. Continuing. the paper adds:
 The patriotism of this people re- vealS itself only in the time of war and particularly on the battlefield. 1t is not so universal and steady as the patriotism of Western countries wlL"h has been exhibited in this great war not only on the battlefield but more particularly in the dctenninatiOL O. the whole people occupied in peaceful industry at home to pack up the work of the battle front. The spirit with Which the Western peoples have Sacri- feed their property and valioIS othcr personal interests with silent Aet2r- imitation is revelation to the people of this country. The Japanese ought to see, if they have not seen already. thet the boaSted patriotism Of our peO pie is very narrow and rather superii- ciaI compared with the dogged tena- city and the univerSality of the Vest crn patriotism Furthermore, We are in the habit of considering patriotism ;,S the spirit peculiar to soldiers. The upper class and the general public have no clear ldea of what patriotism means outside Of the battlefield. Moth ing has been more ignoble than the way the rich people of this country have pursued their selfish interest in utetr disregard of the national in- terest."

MILK WANTED BY SOLDIERS
 AT US. CAMPS

CAMP KEARNY, San Diego, Cal, March 30. - Milk is the beverage iE greatest demand at the camp eXchang. cs of the Fortieth division, stationed Aere. Motor trucks loaded with dO2- ems of cases of pint bottles of milk come out to the camp uaily, to Su 1p'y the hundreds of gallons of milk drunk bv the men. The milk for the kitCh- cns of the various organizations comes in quart bottles, but the greater part of that used in the camp is sold over the "bar" at the exchanges, wher" d pint commands a ready market at 10 cents.
 Candy and cake are in sharp de- mand at the various battalion, regi- mental and other exchanges. Next to tobacco, probably chocolate commands the best market of any commodity sold at the exchanges. Men who ir civil life would scorn candy as q weak ness eat quantities of it at the CN- changes, while cake and pastry are sold in large amounts. Virtually all the sweets sold in the camp are put uD n tin foil or oiled paper packages which retail at five cents or ten cents each, so the contents reach the men in good condition.
