IMPORTANCE
OF FRIENDS
Japanese Value Good Feeling Of
America as Most Welcome
By-Product of the
War.
TBy United Press.1

TOXIC, Feb. 20.-(By mail. 1.-THE
Japanese people, beyond a doubt
consider the more friendly feeling
which has grown up between their
country and America as one OF the
most important and most welcome OF
all the by-products Of the war. Ac-
cordingly, each bit Of evidence OF bet
ter feeling and understanding on the
part of citizens of the United States
is regarded with no little satisfac-
ton. The following, from an edi-
torial in the Asahi, one of the most
influential newspapers of the Japa-
nese capital, is a sample:
According to report recently
received from Honolulu, judicial
authority in Hawaii openly declared
in the course of his explanation re-
garding the new American naturali-
cation law, that the Japanese sub
jects enlisted in the AmeriRn army
should be- legally granted the right
to naturalize and become American
citizens. THE fact is an indication of

a great change in the public opinion
of America, which was formerly an
tagonistic regarding the naturaliza-
Ition of Japanese.
Another sign of pro-Japanese sen
timent in America is the reported
proposition to revise the anti-alien
Hand law of California. According to
la report from San Francisco, bill
lis to be presented shortly before the
California legislature regarding the
extension Of the leases granted to
the Japanese. This will be great
benefit to the Japanese farmers in
the state, who, since the promulga-
ton Of the present land law in 1913,
have been suffering from great dis
advantages due to the extremely
short tenure Of their lands. In fact,
until recently, no one could imagine
that such radical change of public
sentiment could possibly take place
lin California, which was popularity
regarded as the hotbed of the anti
Japanese propagand in the United
Estates.
Japan is now going to propose as
one of her peace terms the recogni-
Ition of the equality of races, and we
are exceptionally pleased that the
proposal may possibly be accepted
by the allied leaders, especially by
President Wilson and other Ameri-
can delegates who are exerting them
selves for the establishment of a
league Of nations based upon the
spirit of righteousness and universal
brotherhood. The growth of friendly
feeling toward the Japanese In
America is welcome, as with this at
their back, the leaders of Japan may
be able to act faithfully and fear
lessly in accordance with their con-
viction and faith"

CLAIMS REWARD
FOR SUGGESTION
SMOKE BOXES

LONDON, Aug. 8-Charles Han
nan, novelist and playwright, has de-
manded knighthood and pension from
the government for himself and wife
on the grounds that he suggested to
the British Admiralty the advisability
of using smoke boxes or smoke screen
which were extensively used for the
protection of British naval and mer-
chant vessels during the latter part
of the war.
He claims that he proposed this
plan to Winston Churchill and the Ad-
miralty on February 6, 1915, on condi-
tion that he was to receive knight
hood and a pension. Mr.. Hannah says
the Admiralty informed him it was
not prepared to adopt his proposals.
Six months later, says Mr.. Hannah,
he joined the Admiralty and for the
first time discovered that experiments
on the line suggested by him had been
secretly conducted in the Mediterran-
ean
Mr.. Hannah asserts that the first
recorded use of smoke boxes in naval
warfare occurred in the battle Of Jut-
land, May 81, 1916.

Petition from Imperial Valley Tax
payers
To Members of Congress:-We, the
undersigned, taxpayers of Imperial
county, California, respectfully re-
guest the congress amend House Bill
No 6044, entitled "a bill to Assist in
increasing the productive agricultural
area of the Imperial and Coachella
valleys, California, and for other pur-
poses" hv inclusion Of provision
that any person who has served the
United States of America during times
of war, in the army, navy or marine
corps, and who was honorably dis
charged, shall have a six months pre-
, ferencial right of purchase on the pub
lie lands offered for sale under pro
visions of the bill. This amendment is
urged as a due and fitting recognition
of the services of our war veterans
and is in keeping with our national
precedents in disposing of lands in the
public domain.
This amendement will in no way
disturb the primary object Of the bill
and will lessen the possibility Of these
lands falling into the hands of spec
ulators by placing them in the hands
of young men of the homemaking
class.
