1t does seem that women have more

that affiict humanity; they must keep

constantly aching backs, or headaches,
dizzy spells, bearing down pains; they
must stoop over, when to stoop means
torture. They must walk and bend and
work with racking pains and many
aches from kidney ills. Keeping the

JAPANESE PAPERS
|kFLANE PUBLIC
Anti-American Riot Is Nipped in
City of Tokyo.
DECRY PRESIDENT WILSON
Police Bar Outburst Before the u. S.
Embassy-Growing international
influence of America Thought
to Be Basis for Agitation.

Tokyo, May 1.-THE anti-American
campaign In the Japanese press con-
tinues with renewed force. Up to the
present no serious overt acts have
been committed against Americans or
American property. Evidence exists,
however, that the newspaper agita-
ton, which has spread to virtually all
the leading journals of the empire, is
melting popular feeling against Amer
lea and thus paving the way for pos
sible open demonstrations.
Representative Japanese deplore
the press campaign and have begun to
criticize the government for it's fall
ure to check the literary OutburStS, on
the ground that they are going so far
that they are liable to engender I'LL
feeling.
Threaten U. S. Embassy.
The participants in mass meeting
held Sunday, at which some anti
American speeches were delivered, an
the demonstration in front of the
American embassy. The police, now
ever, interfered and prevented this
step.
The belief is expressed here that the
basis for the agitation is fear Of the
growing influence of the United
States in international affairs, as evil
denced by her position at the peace
conference and that it will act as a
curb on what are regarded as Japan's
legitimate aspirations in China and
Siberia.
See Korean Plot.
After declaring that renewed at
tempts for anti-Japanese legislation
on the Pacific slope indicate that the
Americans prosecute Japan in every
thing, while wearing the mask of lib
erty and fairness, the HOchi Shimbun
charges the Americans with having in
cited the Chinese to make the secret
treaties public and also accuses Amer
lean missionaries of fomenting the
Korean instruction.
The YorOdZu ChOhO says the Ameri-
cans responsible for attempts at anti
Japanese legislation are nothing bet
ter than barbarians; that their actions
are more Jespicable than those of the
Germans. whose barbarities they at
tackled.

should have a right to answer the
questions in his own way. He pro-
tested against the apparent desire of
the two Republican Senators to place
a false construction upon what Col.
Robins said.
An outbreak upon the part OF Sem
ator Nelson occurred when Col.
Robins sought to show that some Of
the Finnish White Gaurds, who
marched against the Bolsheviks, were
commanded by German generals. Sen
ator Nelson disputed this statement
Col. Robins said he was sorry, but
had in his possession a letter signed
by Gen. Mannerheim, a German, in
command OF a White Guard division.
Senator Nelson insisted that Gen.
Mannerheim was not in Russia at
the time. Col. Robins smilingly ex-
pressed regret that he could not agree
with what the Senator said as the
facts did not prove it.
VIII Put Letter In Record.
Senator johnson stopped the
quarrel by suggesting that Col.
Robins put the letter in the record,
which he agreed to do.
The reason why Elihu Root was
unacceptable to the Russian peo-
pie when he was sent over there
by President Wilson was again
gone into. E. Lowry Humes, coun-
sci for the committee, sought to
draw from Col. Robins the names
OF hefnewspapers which had pub
lished attacks on Root. In his tes-
timony Thursday. Col. Robins said
~,
Root to such an extent that the
Russians looked upon him as the
representative of special privileges
and would have nothing to do with
him.
When Humes asked for the names
of the publications, Col. Robins de-
clined to answer. He inquired OF
Chairman OYerman whether it was
the purpose of the committee to
go into such matters. He said it
brought in "an extra local situa-
tiOp which has nothing to do with
the general situation"
Senator Overman told him he need
not answer II he did not care to.
But Humes was not satisfied and
a few moments later asked again
if he would name the papers to
which he referred. This time Humes
had the assistance of the two Re
publican Senators, who apparent
ly believed that Root was entitled
to some sort of protection at their
hands. The following passage oc-
CURED:
Root Placed in Bad Light.
Humes: DO 1 understand that
you refuse to give the names of
these publications which published
the attacks upon Mr.. Root?'
Robins: My position is perfect
ly clear. said that on account of
controversy between Root and
certain public man of great
prominence, controversy which
had preceded the Root mission to
Europe, Mr.. Root had been placed
in very unfavorable light and
caused him to be regarded with
disapproval by the Russian people !"
