Talk About Jack Barry.
Much talk is being heard around
the circuit that Jack Barry, the only

been given out by Harry Frazee along
this line. however. and it may be
nothing but mere rUmOr.
The principal weakness OF the
champions Is in the box. The failure
OF Herb Pennock TO show winning

MANY CANADIANS
STILL IN EUROPE

| The work of sending Canadian SOL
diers to their homes from overseas
lis progressing very slowly, according
to information received in a recent
mail by c. V Anthony of Nenana,
who has a soldier-son on the other
side Of the Atlantic
! The letter received by Mr.. An
thony states that there were 100000
Canadian soldiers still in England
at the time of writing, and they
were not sure when they would be
sent hime, although the movement
toward Canada was proceeding as
rapidly as transport vessels would
permit.
Of the 100000 soldiers still re-
naming in England, fully 10000
have their families with them, for
the most part newly-acquired wives,
which adds considerably to the trou-
bles of the transport officers.
Young Anthony is one of the
many to join the ranks of the bene-
diets overseas. He captured a most
attractive-looking young lady, and
they are now eagerly awaiting their
turn to board a steamer for Canada
The young man was wounded in

never been fully disclosed to the
father. But the injuries were suffi-

RACIAL EQUALITY.

Failure of the peace conference
at Paris to adopt Japan's propose
of racial equality was denounced By
Marquis Okuma, formerly premier Of
Japan, in an address he delivered
recently before the japanese Civil
cation society at Yokohama
st is a blot on justice and hu.
mainly that the whites, who consti.
tute less than one-third of the
worlds population, assume the con,
troll of the world, and l declare that
justice and a humanity which do
not recognize racial equality are
scarcely worthy of the name" he
said. Germany has hitherto been
"a great influence in the world, and
this influence is about to be replaced
by Anglo-American influence which
will produce far-reaching effect on
the future peace of the world and
the veal of mankind"
Concluding, Marquis Okuma said
that the Japanese are considerably
inferior to Westerners in intellectu-
al powers, physical strength and
wealth. and they must show no hest
tation in possessing themselves OF
whatever is required to make them
the equal of others. He added:
There is nothing wrong in secur-
ing development, morally, economi-
cally and socially. If the best eff
forts are made in these directions
1t is to be hoped that no great DIFF
fculty will be experienced in sur
passing the arrogant Westerners and
bringing them to their knees"

HAWAIIAN JAPANESE.

The annual report of Governor
C. ]. Mccarthy of Hawaii to the
secretary of the interior. for the
year ended June 80, 1918, estimates
the population of the territory at
256,000, an increase of 64,271, or
33.49 per cent, since 1910, when
the last official census was taken.
Honolulu is estimated to have a
population of $4,000. Of the total
population of Hawaii, 100000 are
Japanese, according to the COVER
nor's estimate; $4,000 Hawaiians or
part Hawaiians; 10000 Filipinos
$4,000 Chinese, and $4,000 divided
among the Caucasion races. Figures
are not given for Koreans and other
Asiatic races.
Exports for the fiscal year ex-
ceeded ISL, 100000, with imports
aggregating s11,374,718. Sugar to
the value of more than $70,0O0,0O0
was exported, with pineapples taking
second place. The governor called
attention to the fact that in recent
years the Philippines have been the
chief source of labor for Hawaiian
plantations.
The birth rate for the territory
is given as 36.71 per 1000. Board
of health statistics show that the
japanese birth rate in Hawaii is
42.87 per 1000. These figures re-
call the prediction made few years

THE NEW LEVEL.

In the sixteenth century, wher
Cortez. Pizarro, and others set Span
ish valor to footing the treasure Of
the New World, they were putting
jackscrews under nearly all the
prices in Europe. Men are apt to
think of business as personal; it is
hard for them to see general eco
nomic principles even when feeling
the effects. So, relates a recent
editorial in Golfers, many people
kept on protesting the new state of
things and working for a return to
the old order of lower prices. But
it never came. In our day vastly
greater and more dynamic treasure
has been discovered in the new CEN
tralized and scientific banking use
of credit. The civilized and active
trading nations of the Entente have
already drawn on this modern Ell
Dorado for some S35, O0O,OO0,0O0 Of
new money. BY doing so they have
also drawn on human skill and en-
ergy for total of current produc-
tive work much beyond anything
ever thought possible before. This
change is as vital as that which took
place in the sixteenth century and
quite as likely to be permanent in
its effect on human affairs. Those
who can reckon the general shift
and growth of civilization are tax
ing advantage of this change, lay
ing their plans and striking out for
larger things. Those whose mental
stride is too short to enable them to
keep step with events are lamenting,
holding back, and predicting doleful
things if prices do not go lower.
But the older pessimism shut down
no mines in Mexico or Peru, and the
American treasure gave Europe a
new economic impetus and a stronger
leadership of the worlds business.
In its turn the new treasure of our
time will bring forward the leaders,
both men and nations, who can WELD
its power for the best results.
