Democracy and Mikadoism.
From Japan Society.

EOn Jdpuu SoSiciy.
What are the chances of demoe-
racy in Japan? Is there a possibility
that Japan will be affected by the
virus of democracy which is spread
ing all over the world? These ques-
tions are asked by Saito Man, well
known Japanese writer. and he pro-
ceeds to answer them about as fol-
lows: The japanese choice and IN
clination are absolutely fixed and
pronounced in this respectfully viii
have mikadoism and nothing else;
they are as determined on this as
Shylock was on his pound of f1esh-
The japanese have absolutely no
wish to change the political consti,
unanimously support the authorities
in stigmatizing as a national traitor
any one advocating radical chanSe.
But democracy and mikadoism are
apparently not Incompatible, accord
ing to X. Inukai, the leader of the
Kokuminto party and one OF the IN
fluential supporters of the Teraucht
ministry. In addressing the party
recently he said: The war has maoe
and is making democracy a world
wide movement, and a policy wnlcn
is wise enough to guide this great
movement on the right road is essen
TALLY needed in Japan at present. AS
result of the war everything,
whether political or industrial. is ex.
tended and remolded into national
Significance. There should no longer
be professional soldier. but the
whole nation should take arms. There
should be no discrimination between
the government schools and private
institutions. All the railroads, all the
factories and all transportation Ia
cilities should be used for national
purposes. In consequence, all our
future national policies must be re-
built upon this national and demo-
cratic principle"

TERRIBLE TEXAS DROUGHT
HAS BEEN PARTLY BROKEN
Dry Spell Of Two Years Declared
Worst in a Century-Dust Storms
Turned Day Into Night.

DALLAS, Tex. June s.-The long
drought which has prevailed in west
ern Texas for two or more years.
causing little less than disaster to the
cattle-raising industry of Texas. has
been partly, If not wholly, broken.
Three good. soaking rains fell in that
district within the first seventeen
days of May. Grass is now coming
out. water holes have been partly
filled and a general spirit Of optimism
prevails with the cattlemen. many of
whom staked fortunes on the effort to
hold out.
Ranchmen. who had waited from
month to month for the rains, ship
ped thousands of cattle out of
this district to other ranges. Many
dollars were spent by the stockmen
on feed to keep alive those few cattle
that remained on the ranges. They
declare that had the rain been delayed
another six weeks the plains of Texas
would have been practically deserted
of cattle.
All OF Texas west of line drawn
north and south through San Antonio
constituted the drought district. prac-
tica1ly all of which Is devoted to the
cattle raising industry. Part Of the
district, however, contains some agri-
cultural land. devoted mostly to truck
farming. little cotton or corn is
grown.
The drought began in some sections
late In the summer OF 1914, and al
most ever since the cattlenien have
had q fight on their hands to save the
herds with which the ranches were
populated at that time. In 1915 the
situation grew more serious and the
rainfall was far below normal. Early
in 1915 a large part of the district had
fair rains, but there were many large
areas which had mono and others
where rain fell SO rapidly that 1t did
little good. Throughout the summe
Of 1916, all through 1917 and well into
1918 conditions grew steadily worse.
Pioneers of west Texas declare 1t
was the worst dry spell that has
fallen over that section in a century.
Dust storms which swept the section
few weeks prior to the rains were
the worst and most severe exps-
rienced in a generation. In San An
gelo the dust storm was so severe
that all outside work had to be sus-
pended and the sky was SO dark that
1t was necessary to use electric lights
for indoor work.
A general influx of cattle which had
been shipped out Of west Texas is ex-
pected to begin soon. Cattlemen,
however, point out that 1t will re-
quire years to stock the ranches al
before the drought hit the ranges.

PROFOUND CHANGE IN DEFENSIVE
TACTICS OF ALLIES IS NECESSARY,
DUE TO HUNS "BREAKING THROUGH"

each side has lost something less than
100000. perhaps 100000: that the Diff
ference between the two casualty lists
Is not great.
Now, unless all reports are wrong.
the United States has already sent to
Europe more than enough fighting
men TO replace allied wastage imme-
diately - that is, to supply 100000
men. all of whom should be available
this year-while the Germans have
had to find in their own population
the resources to mend their lines.
They are seeking so to reduce allied
numbers and morale as to be able. be-
fore their own striking power is ex-
hausted. TO deal one more blow. such
as they attempted at the Marne. and,
winning this time. to end the war.
And so far they have conquered VAL
liable. but not decisively valuable. ter
ritory at a cost of at least equal
casualties. They have consumed more
than ten weeks. during which we
have sent at least 300,00 troops to
France, and these ten weeks bring
the hour nearer when all of our troops
will be ready to intervene. The Ger
mans must win this campaign before
we can put in 100000 men or they
cannot win it at all. And they have
not yet made any great step toward
winning it, since they have not de-
stroyed any substantial portion of the
French and British armies before
them.

PALE FACE" IS SIOUX
CHIEF BY ADOPTION
Capt. Welch, Fighting in France,
Succeeds as "Son" of Late
Chief John Grass.

MANDAN. y. D., June s.-With the
passing of Chief John Grass of the
Sioux tribe of Indians, who recently
died at Fort Yates, the headquarters
Of the Standing Rock agency. his
mantle falls upon the shoulders
Of the only white man ever adopted
into the tribe. Thus Capt A B.
Welch, Of Mandan, adopted son of the
old chieftain, becomes. according to
ancient customs Of the Sioux, the
chief OF the tribe.
The new Sioux chief, whose Indian
name is Mato-waakpe is with the
United States Infantry in France and
is the aid of Maj. Gen. Hunter Lig-
gett.
A grandson Of John Grass. Albert
Grass, is serving with the same divi-
sion.
Although there were formerly four
chieftains of the Sioux. only one line
remains. and, the old chiefs sons all
being dead. Capt. Welch, by reason Of
being an adopted son, takes prece-
dence over grandson in the direct
line.
The name Mato-Watakpe is the
Sioux war name of the old chief and
means Charging Bear" When he was
adopted Capt. Welch chose this name
as the one by which he would be
known among the Indians.
Although the chief of today has not
the same powers of the chief of years
gone by, the title still gives him the
respect of the Indians and they recog-
niZe him as their leader. A chief still
represents his tribe in all the dis
putes or conferences with the gov
ernment.
Capt. Welch for many years has been
a student of the Indian customs ana
formed many friendships with mem
bers Of the Sioux tribe. In 1918, be-
cause of a mutual regard that had
grown up between the captain and
the chief, John Grass, the latter asked
the CAPTAIN IL he would be willing to
be adopted as his son. The captain
consented and. conforming to the an
cient ceremonies of the Sioux, was
taken into the tribe by service held
at Fort Yates, the old trading center.
The service began at dawn and lasted
until sundown.
The body of the old chief has been
laid in the cemetery at Fort Yates
and the Sioux now look for the return
of their pale face chief" from the
great war to assume control of their
AFFAIRS and act as their spokesman IN
ALI matters in which the tribe is IN
yolved!

Make "Glove Waistcoats."
Trem the Popular Science Monthly.

From the Popular Science Monthly.
Patriotic women in America may
profit by the experience of their Brit
ish cousins and follow their example
by devoting their attention to the
making Of glove waistcoats" instead
of the sweaters which their nimble
fingers have been knitting heretofore
for the soldiers and sailors Of our
country. These vests are made of
waste material, discarded kid gloves,
which cost practically nothing. The
lining costs only 35 cents. One of
these vests can easily be made in a
day or two, while the knitting Of q
sweater takes considerably more
time. Another advantage OF the
glove vests is that they weigh but a
few ounces, are less bulky than
wooden sweaters. yet fully as warm
and more windproof. In addition to
that they do not shelter vermin, as
do the knitted garments. 1t is to be
hoped that American women will see
the advantages In this new patri-
otic work

Further Strains Lie Ahead.

We are bound to see the allies lose
more ground, and. possibly. submit
to other periods of great strain: we
may see them relincuish large areas
OF northern France, as Joffre did in
1914. We must not attach to ground
value which it did not have in 1914
and has not now, although IL may
have possessed that value in the in
termediate period.
In 1918, as in 1914, the German is
stalking all on great effort. We owe
1t to the cause to perceive the condi-
tions of the struggle and not accept
the German estimate OF successes,
which, although considerable, are not
sufficient, and cannot, unless enor-
mously increased, make his last bid
for military decision successful.
And once more it is essential to en-
phasize the fact that up to June the
German in his Aisne offensive had not
used more than fifty divisions - at
most no more than half of his imme-
diately available striking power. We
must then expect. with little delay. q
new blow somewhere between Yer
dun and Lille. When that blow is
parried another pause is inevitable,
but before 1t is parried we may have
another bad quarter of an hour of
anxiety. The worst is far from over
in the campaign of 1918, but so far
we have survived three blows with
our military organization unbroken.

May Give Up Channel Ports.

We may say that Foch is bound to
defend Paris to the last because Of the
moral value, but this Is true of no
other geographical point. 1t seems
to me far from unlikely that the
back south of the somme and aban-
don the channel ports. This seems
possible, because I can think Of no
other way during the next three crit
ical months that the allies can hope
meet the various German thrusts
promptly and thus limit their ad-
vance. A retreat behind the Somme
would supply these reserves. because
the line would be shortened by such
q retreat more than a hundred miles
and almost all of the British army
would be released.
By reason of his new tactics and
his interior position the German has
opened the present campaign with al
he opened the campaign Of 1914. and
it was not until the French had
achieved a counter concentration that
the Germans were decisively defeated
at the Marne and their threat to
France abolished for nearly four
again to gain a decisive advantage in
concentration against their enemy.
They have achieved their former
advantage again, because the allies
rested their plans upon the faulty
major premise that no German ad-
vance against trench systems could
be sufficiently successful at the out
set to preclude tho Intervention of
allied reserves in time to localize the
German gain. Three times the Ger
mans have proven the fallacy of this
theory, and the result of their dem
onstration has been q dislocation OIL
practically all the allied front be-
tween Rheims and the sea. Twice this
dislocation has carried with it the
possibility of grave disaster, and in
Picardy, nearly three months ago, the
peril was greater than the western
allies have known since the far-off
Marne days.

October has arrived. Lord French. lord
lieutenant of ireland, has called upon
Ireland to furnish quota OF $4,000 men
before October /. in order that Irish
regiments may be rehabilitated, and
asks Ireland to furnish 1000 to 5000
men each month thereafter. In other
words. the British government Is aban-
doning, temporarily at least, its con-
scription policy in favor OF a voluntary
enlistment idea. If Ireland not only
fails to fill her quota and her other
responsibilities to England and the allied
cause, then she will get little sympathy
when October arrives and conscription
Is put into effect.
There is general disposition to accept
the move of the British government In
,, good. faith. though some leaders. nota-
bly, John Dillon, continue to voice skep-
tcism as to the government policy.
Whatever Irish leaders say for the mo-
ment, they full well realize that it is UP
to Ireland and If Ireland does not de-
liver her fair quota of fighting men,
then Ireland must stand discredited.

Ulsterites are able to get together on
