TOXIC, Japan, Jan. 3.-Simultaneous
with the movement in the United States
TO throw German out Of the schools
comes the organization in Toxic TO at
tempt to have japanese children in
California and Hawaii given a complete
education in the japanese language.
C. Kioke, former Japanese diplomat.

Il would not go so far as to suggest
that the japanese government should
subsidize Japanese language schools i'm
California and Hawaii v said Koike. "but
these schools should be encouraged.
"These children are an important
connecting link between Japan and
America. The japanese language
schools in Hawaii are poorly organized.
japanese children growing up abroad
should be able to secure in japanese an
education equal TO the American school
course in English"
Others urge on the contrary that II
the japanese are. to make good their
claim TO eventual American citizenship
they should become Americanized and

WOMEN COMING HOME.

By The United Press.
LONDON, Dec. II. tBy Mail).-Ameri-
can, British and Dominion women,
stranded on the other side Of the ocean
from home, are going to be repatriated
very soon the British government has
decided.
Sixty thousand Canadian women are

to be lifted so they can return home.
The first lot OF the sailed late in No
vember. Others will follow as rapidly
as possible.
The number Of American Women is
negligible, according to the American
consulate. The American government
did not put any obstacles in the way
OF American women wishing TO cross
the ocean, as did the British govern
ment, and the American consulate in
England has been visaing women's
passports all along. Those who are
stranded here remained voluntarily
rather than risk U-bOats.
The British governments decision TO
refuse passports TO British women dur
ing the war left English women in
foreign lands completely cut of from

BERLIN, Jan. 3-German naval OIL
GERS were strong for graft. It was thi:
fact that caused the break In the morale

"A special source Of discomfort lay in
the circumstances that great quantities
Of provisions which were intended for
the crews were constantly removed
from the ships by order OF the
superior officers and clandestinely con-
veyed 20 their own families" he writes
In one case an admiral. a rich man
without children, but employing a large
staff Of servants, made considerable
deductions from his monthly pay TO
exchange the money for food. which he
sold at a considerable profit TO sundry
persons in his native town.

WHALE MEAT FOOD FOR JAP.

TOXIC. Japan, Jan. 3.-Whale meat
has appeared on bills OF fare in Euro
pean countries and in America during
the war, but In Japan Il has been a
food for hundreds OF years.
The capture Of whales in nets and
the ceremonies and feasting which fol-
lowed have been a matter OF interest
in Japanese history.
When the harpoon gun and steam
whaling vessels made their appearance
in European waters, the Japs were
quick to adopt the new methods OF
whaling.

ierman cunning brought to high state
OF efficiency. Whether or not the Boil
shevik forces are now using similarly
secret weapons. the need for action, for
legislation, is urgent. The future can
not be provided against too soon.
In the consideration OF this whole
question there will arise first OF an the
matter OF deportlng every naturallzed
American who has played an active part
In such enemy propaganda. The system
must be ended for all time. To get rid
OF the interned aliens alone viii not
begin to meet the evil. Many OF the
most vicious German propagandists took
out their citizenship papers as a pre-
caution against just such contin-
gency. Deportation must be the univer-
sal punishment OF every secret propa-
gandist and Il must be applied against
those whose false Americanism has been
already revealed.
Therefore. the present move OF the
Department Of Justice, sound and need
ful as II is, must be regarded as only
the first Of a series OF precautions
Secret propaganda must go the way OF
secret diplomacy The latter fosters
war through the trickery Of a few. The
former works not less effectively
through the subtle poisoning OF the
many.

Soccer SOlOns
To Place Blame
For Riot at Game

meeting of the National Challenge
Cup competition committee of the
United States Football Association,
which controls and directs the national
soccer championships, is to be held at
the Hotel Aston, starting at 10 o'clock
this morning. From it will come con
siderable of interest to the world of
part of it in New York and contiguous
territory.
The draw for the third round of the
current title play will be conducted,
but Of greater interest in the metro
politan district is the committees in
vestigation of the disorders attending
the second round game between Robins
Dry Dock F. c., of Brooklyn, and the
Federal Ship eleven, of East Newark,
last Sunday, at Clark's Field, East
Newark
Various players and managers and
secretaries of both clubs have been
ordered to appear before the committee
in this meeting, and, in consequence
of their testimony and that of certain
neutral witnesses to the acts which led
up to a near riot in which the game
terminated, heavy suspensions and fines
are almost certain to be imposed.
Player Muir, of the Federal Ship
team, will have to answer for anassault
upon Referee James Walder, of Phila-
delphia, who, on account of the en-
croachment upon the field by specta-
tors en- masse. was compelled to call
the game when five minutes of the sec
ond half remained to be played. The
score then stood 3 to in favor of the
Robins team and that score probably
will be allowed to stand as the result
of the game.

a touchdown. Bach kicked the easy
goal.
The touchdown put considerable life
in the Flushing players and shortly
after they had kicked off they re-
covered the ball when Gustafson fun
bled in hitting the line. Smith later
attempted a placement goal from the
31-yard line but the kick was blocked.
But fortune again favored Flushing
Flushing on its rivals 22-yard line.
Again Blocker shot a long forward
pass to Bancroft who was standing
on the Aurora line. and who made the
touchdown. Smith caught Bleecker's
lick out and Bach immediately added
the easy goal. The first half ended
minute afterwards.
With the beginning of the third
quarter, both elevens made frequent
use of the forward pass. Flushing
got another chance toward the end of
Flushing punt, Knabel recovering the
ball for the long Island team. Burton
and Smith then hit the westerners' line
for first down, placing the ball on the
West Aurora 31-yard line when the
third quarter ended.
Flushing then hit the Aurora line
for three successive first downs, Smith
scoring a touchdown after Aurora had
held for one down on the 2-yard line.
Bach missed the goal. Determined to
avoid shut-out, Aurora kept con-
tinually using the forward pass but
the alert Flushing players always
broke up the play.
Regaining the ball, Flushing tailed
another touchdown through some fine
line bucking by Bach who finally put
the ball on the 6-inch line from where
Bach added the goal.
Immediately after this play Captain
Captain Roberts, of Aurora, caught a
punt and, evading two Flushing tack
lers, was headed for the Flushing goal
line. 1t looked as if he would score
both managed to nail him after he
had covered fifty yards. Three Aurora
forward passes failed and the contest
came to an end after the next play.
