WINNING THE WAR
conorsss 1dopt, Practical Means to
Rrinu this Reault.

On the first day OF April the con-
gress OF the United States did one OF
the most practical things II has yet
done to win the present war. Senator
Gallinger OF New Hampshire. intro
duccd a concurrent resolution which
was Immediately passed by both
houses OF congress, as follows:
Resolved by the senate the house
OF representatives concurring). That.
Il being a duty peculiarly incumbent
in q time of war humbly and devoutly
to acknowledge our dependence on
Almighty God and TO implore his aid
and protection, the president OF the
United States be, and he IL hereby,
respectfully requested TO recommend
day OF public humiliation, prayer. and
fasting, TO be observed by the people
Of the United States with religious
solemnity and the offering OF feryent
supplications to Almighty God for the
safety and welfare Of our cause. his
blessings on our arms, and speedy re-
storation OF an honorable and lasting
peace to the nations Of the earth.
The Sunday School Times OF Phila-
delphia, after passage OF the above
various senators and representatives
In congress. Introducing Hon. w. J..
Stevenson as "one Of the coming le-
gal lights in the house. though a new
member" the Times quotes Mr.. Ste
venson as follows:
"The fact that congress unanimous
ly passed this concurrent resolution is
impressive evidence OF the need OF
such a day OF national humiliation
and fasting and prayer az Is proposed.
II is Indicative OF the state OF mind OF
congress at the present time-and the
feeling in congress over the events OF
the last few weeks is much sobered.
believe that our country will be In
volved TO the extent OF several millions
OF men before this war ends. Surely
II we do not smash the enemy's lines
this summer there will be a call for
a million and a half more men. We
say that our belief Is in the righte-
BUSINESS OF our cause and In our faith
in God-that we stand on the side OF
whatever is right in national affairs:
II we really believe what we are say
ing about this, there never was bet
tr time to implore him for help"
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1918-05-07

Japanese immigration by Withholding
consular certificates necessary for
emigrants from her country She has
faithfully kept II. In six years the
number Of japanese male laborers In
this country was thus reduced by l5.-
900.
We do not realize how much Japan
has helped the Allies in this war. BY
her capture OF the German stronghold
in China and the German island In the
Pacific she has cleared the Allied
traffic in that ocean from attack. She
has by her torpedo destroyers guarded
the troopships and commerce Of Great
Britain from India and Australia and
from far east through the Mediterran-
can. She has not sent a large army
because of the difficulty. danger and
cost OF transportation and because OF
her fear OF the effect OF such European
service on the morale Of her troops.
She has made and furnished to Rus
sia war material essential to her cam
paigns. She Is naturally anxious to
prevent the Germans from establish
ing. through her released prisoners
and by their intrigues with the Bolshe-
wiki. n new Pacific base at Vladivostok.
So may we and all her other Allies be
anxious. Japan finds further ground
for landing troops In yladivostok In
her own domiciled citizens in the state
Of anarchy there existing. More than
this. there are many war supplies
stored in Vladivostok furnished by
Japan's merchants to Russia and not
paid for. We can be confident she
will observe her honorable obligation
to retire from vladivostok when the
just reason for her use Of force there
ceases.
The total number Of japanese resi-
dents In this country engaged In busi-
ness or labor probably does not ex-
coed $4,000. and Of these perhaps a.
900 are OH the Pacific coast. 10000 In
rest In the east. Those In California
are less than 3 per cent OF the popu-
latlon Of the state. They are indus
trious as farmers and laborers and
they know the value Of thelr products
and their labor. They are generally
law-abiding. These facts show that
the intense feeling against them finds
little Of justice to support 1t.
We hurt Japan's pride in refusing
Japanese residents the rights to be-
come American citizens. This Is the
crux in our relations. With the num-
ber Of japanese residents so small and
