ASIATIC PAPER SAYS
 JAPAN AIDS CHINA
Japan Is, However, Not Wholly Un- selfish in Her Attitude Toward
 Her Southern Neighbor.

Tokio, June 12, (Correspondence of The Associated Press .)-"Japan does not pretend to be wholly unselfsh in her policy toward China,' says the Herald of Asia, a conservative jour- nal of Japanese thought. Japan is protecting China chiefly for the sake of her own security" the paper con- tinued
 Japan cannot allow China to bar ter away her birthright even if she is simple enough to engage in such folly. If China wants to test Japan S sincerity let her refuse all further concessions to occidental nations and secure for all time the inalienation of her territory, and Japan's task in re- gard to China will be finished.
 Tt is a question, however, whether China is yet able to do without the assistance of Japan in keeping foreign nations at bay; and this help, strange to say, is just what China does not want. Is it that China would rather be a slave of the white races than the equal of Japan? We can hard ly credit this.
 "There is no need for China to be anxious about the return of Kiau- chow. Japan has promised to re- store the territory to China just as soon as China is able to guarantee that it will not again fall into the hands of a third party. What more can China desire? And does justice require more? China talks as if she were an absolutely independent na- ton, granting concessions to no coun- try. If she will take this attitude to- ward all western countries Japan will be ready to concede China her new status. But to show a desire to cast out Japan while leaving the others in place, is something no one can expect Japan to approve"

LENS IS SHOWING
 SIGNS OF REVIVAL
This City Was Most Thoroughly De- vastatcd of Any During the
 Great War.
Great War

Paris, July IS, (Correspondence of thoroughly devastated town of the war, is showing signs of revival. When the Associated Press correspondent visited this erstwhile busy coal mining center of the department of the Pas de Calais early this year, it still look ed as though a set of giant sledge- hammers had pounded the whole place to atoms. To the west of us lies the grim battlefield of Loos, which has the curious appearance of a petri- fled sea- The soil has been p1owed up in an extraordinary manner by thousands of poisonous gas bombs, which have tinged the sparse vegeta- tion an unhealthy gray.
 Before the war Lens had 10000 in- habitants. When the correspondent visited the locality in it's state or hope less desolation, there were only three sturdy optimists left, who led a cave mans existence among the ruins. Their nearest point to get food was Bully-Grenay, ten miles away, and there was no transportation.
 Things have been mending since. Today about 5000 of the eXiled inhab- itantS have returned. They are housed in corrugated iron hutments formerly used by the. British army. The cleaning up of the place, begun by Chinese and German prisoner work squads is taking on more speed. The approaches have been laid bare to eel lars and underground shelters which have been occupied by homeless "house- -hunters." Even building of sort is going on; the material used be- ing such odd bits of wood, stone and iron as were still serViceable in the huge rubbish heap that once was Lens.
 In the Pas de Calais department alone 15O townships and villages are in the same plight as Lens, or nearly so The task of making these places fit to live in again is a herculean one. Labor is available in adequate num- bers, but to lodge and feed the men is a great problem. The latest sug- gestion is to use covered army motor trucks as temporary shelters for the workers by whose efforts Lens is to arise from it's ashes.

living, and even cause reductions in
 it, is of all claims that could be made for it the most preposterous. It is said that large saving in the rail- way capital charge would be made under this plan because the govern ment could issue bonds bearing 4 per cent interest to buy the roads But everybody knows that the government h9d hnally to pay 4 3-4 per cent in tereSt to raise money to carry on the war; and that government bonds are now selling in the market at rates that yield practically per cent; and It IS an insult to the intelligence of the American people to claim that the government could raise at per cent the many billions that would be required to buy the railroads.
 'SeCOnd, it is claimed that if the railroads were turned over to the management of a board tWO-thirds of whose memb berS were appointed by persons on their roll vast economies in operating expenses could be effect ed b. unified operation and better CO., operation between the officers and employees. But, we have unified oper- alton already; and at least 99 per cent of the railroad operating officials of the United States are of the opin- ion that the Plumb Plan would de- strOy the last Vestige of efficiency in the operation of the railroads Now, whatever would destroy efficiency in the operation of the railroads would necessarily, tend to increase the cost of living.
 If the railroad labor organizations were disposed to rely entirely upon propa ganda for the promotion of the Plumb Plan their advocacy of it would afford no ground for concern. Any person with oven an elementary Knowledge of economies and railway operation can demonstrate that the Plumb Plan is economically unsOund in every particular and that it's adop- ton would result disastrously to the public and in the long run to railway employees themselves. But unfOrtu- nately it is daily becoming more evi- dent that the railroad labor Organiza- tiOnS do not intend to rely entirely on props aganda 10 secure the adoption of their plan"

U. s. AND BRITISH COTTON.

London, Aug. 9.-A member of parliament asked the governm ent representatives the other day what steps, if any, had been taken ito pre- vent the exploitation of the Lan- cashire spinners by the cotton export corporations now being formed in the United States with the object of con- trolling the raw cotton exports to Great Britain'
 The parliamentary secretary to the British board of trade replied that corporations in the United States were outside the jurisdiction of the Brit ish government but that the govern ment was fully alive to the impor- tance of extending the cotton-grow- ing areas within the British empire. He added that the cotton growing committee appointed in 1917 was making a systematic survey of the cotton growing possibilities within the empire.

kind in It's or any other states, both
in quality and quantity Of production,
has been located by Deputy Game

Hatchery" and includes about eight
miles Of overflow lands of the: Gull
river between the federal. dam near
Gull lake and the Sonter dam to the
south Of it. This eight miles is fair

bass youngsters. ranging from 2 to
6 inches in length, fat little crappies
and blue gills as the eyes of true

So thick is the fry near the dam
that a person with common dip net
can easily scoop up from"a peck to
a half bushel Of fry at ofiee lift.

FASHION NOTES

Many little children appear charm
ing in pure yellow frocks.
An oilcloth motor coat in white and
red has three buckled belts.
Long haired furs, like monkey and
gray hare, are preferred for trimming.
This trimming Is usually applied to
wide.brimmed shapes and no other or
nament is employed.
Bead frogs are novelty that forms
an interesting trimming for chiffon
and other sheer fabrics. They are
frogs Of the regulation shape, formed
of beads strung and sewed into place.
More and more use Of lace, both as
a trimming and in combination as q
fabric, is noted. The all-lace dress,
blouse and hat are here, but the big
gest acceptance is Of models Of lace
and georgette, or Of lace and net OF
lace and voile.

Older children find many more

The Little Fact.

1t is a commonplace that a single
little fact, ii it be rightly chosen,
may easily tell more than whole vol
umes OF what we call important
events. One Of these small signifi-
cant facts comes in the message
from Switzerland that the monks OF
St. Bernard have been compelled
owing to the food shortage to de-
Stroy all but six OF their famous
dogs, 1t is no cynicism which sug-
gests the surmise that the fate Of
these dogs will be viyNly remem-
bered when the starving nations are
vague tale. There is sense in
which it is right that it should be
so. For how many generations have
not these creatures stood as the
bodily cmblemS OF devoted charity
which risks all even for a stranger,
however poor and forlorn? Their
fate now is grim allcgory to which
none of the countless stories OF hui
man misery that wait the telling can
add force. 1t is not from the lack of
food alone or chiefly that the world
is perishing before our eyes. Chari-
ty herself is starving, - London
