East and West

From Converting the Missionary" by
 Earl Herbert Greasy, in Asia" Nigga zine
 What, finally, is the signifca nee for the west of the civilization of the far east? The missionary gets a hint as to the answer of this question immediately on his return home, when his baggage suf- fers more in brief trip tkan in re- peated journeyings in theN Orient He finds this typical of a defect in the na- tional economy whereby one works for hours to repair damage caused by the haste of another. Because of the care and patience which they bestow upon their use, orientals get long service out of utensils so f1imsy that Americans could scarcely make shift to use them at all In cultured circles the frugality of the far east reaches it's perfection in very fine simplicity. The recent coronation ceremonies in Japan soreIy disappointed many of the foreigners who had trav- eled far to behold pomp and pageantry 1nseparably bound up with all of this is the leisureliness of the orient It is true that that indefatigable worker, the Chi nese, seems always to be doing something but there is no speeding up and he is never in hurry. The oriental simply refuses to rush, and, although the mis- sionary finds this chara cteristic immeas- urably irksome at first it later leads him to considerable thought. The classic comment on the situation from the ori- ental point of view is the remark of member of a Japanese delegation, trans ferred from local to an express in the subway in the course of being shown about New York Inquiring the reason for the change the party was informed that three minutes were thus saved. It is reported that on emerging at their des- tination the leader of the delegation turned to their guides and blandly in- quired, Now that we have saved three minutes, what shall we do with then?' This is a point the west might well pom der.
 During his furlough at home the mis- sicnary more than once feels the lack of the courtesy for which the far east is famed. He is accustomed in the orient of seeing students rise and bow at the beginning of the recitation, and he feels i'll at ease when no one at the occidental university takes note of the entrance of the professor, and the opening sentence of the lecture cuts across buzz of con- versation. In making call he is not seldom out into the hall of the apart ment at parting and is left to find his own way out of the building. The first time this happens he cannot help feeling a little queer as he recalls how some Chi nese friend escorted him clear to the street, or how some official had the great doors of the 'yamen" opened and bowedSl him out with all ceremony. All such things take time, to be sure, and seem troublesome and useless as well, but to one who is accustomed to them they add much to the amenities of social inter- course. and invest with dignity many occasions of life.

Canada Begins to See the Financial
 Light Dawning

Ottawa, Ont, Nov. 24-Federal government officials, who have been pointing out that Canada's net debt has been steadily increasing since the armistice was signed, and that Cana dian credit and currency value have been impaired, seemingly are begin- tics of the Dominion finances for De- creased $35.545,000 during the month but that this was sharp reduction over the September increase which was $65,00O,000.
 Canada's net debt is officially to- tailed as $1,749 ,331 .000. This IS slightly more than $500,000,00O high CT than the debt was year ago. War expenditures since April 1, of this year, totalled S206,00O,000, according to federal statistics. According to Dominion officials, it was more ex- pensive for the Dominion to mobilize it's forces than it was to keep them in the field.
 One encouraging feature of the latest report is an increase in reve- nue. The total for the seven months since the beginning of the fiscal year, April 1, is $186,400,000. The total for the corresponding period of 1918 was $164,400,000.
 Great increases in ordinary expen- ditures were reported this year, be- cause of renewal of building activ- ties. During the period for April to Oct. 31.. the government spent $24 ,0O0.0OO fo rpublic works. includ- ing railroad construction. The 1918 total for this period was $9,OOO,O0O.

now of New York and connected with | the American Book company, was named as one with whom the candi- date conferred.
 These circumstances were also used as basis for the allegation of the second indictment, that there was a general conspiracy to aid the senator to obtain office illegally. There are two counts to this indict- ment, one in relation to the primary affidavits and the other to the cleo l tion statements.
 The second indictment starts with count which charges expenditures in excess of the legal limit in the primary and election combined; the second count alleges the same charge with relation to the primary alone and the third repeats it, as to the election alone. The fourth count charges violation of the state election law in that more than S6,750 was spent in the two campaigns.
 In this connection it was pointed out while the federal law does not forbid advertising in newspapers, the Michigan statute specifically ex- cludes such prediction practice. The statement of expenditures list ed by the Newberry campaien man. agers includes items which total about $148,000 for newspaper adver- tising.
 The count details that with the excess campaign funds, district and county agents and managers and numerous secret propagandists and detectives were hired and their ex- penses paid; moving picture films were bought and much literature dis tributed, all of which acts are al legged to be in violation of the Michi- gan law. The government agents said they had proof one movie film alone cost $8,006.
 Money to Voters.
 The fifth count charges conspira- cy to commit thousands of offenses against the federal act of October, 1918, forbidding payment of money to voters.
 The sixth count alleges that cer- tain, defendants each contributed more than the total amount allowed by law knowing all the time they were violating the statues and that certain of the defendants induced others to give by falsely represent ing the amounts already contributed to the campaign.
 It alleges further that more than $100,000 of the amounts so contrib uted were converted to the person. al use of certain politicians. It is also charged that more than $10O,- 900 was paid to newspapers, cam paigners of all degrees, for office and hall rent, dinners and other en- tertainment.
 The charge that James Helm was hired on salary and expenses to run against Ford in the democratic pri- mary follows, and then come accusa- tions that republican candidates for county offices were paid money up- on condition that they support the Newberry senatorial aspirations. The count concludes with allegations of wholesale bribery of voters, elec- tion boards and other officials.
 The extreme penalty which may be imposed under the indictments is a fine of $10,000 and two years im- prisonment.
 The court proceedings today last ed less than 10 minutes, but served to wind up the activities of a grand jury that was first convened six weeks ago. After one weeks work the jury recessed for a week. but the last 2S days have been steady grind for the inquisitors and the federal officials concerned in the case.

More Jobless Arriving
27th and 9th Divisions Are
Still Seeking Positions for
Men; Thousands at Work

The New York director of the United
States Employment Service says there
are 100000 unemployed men in New
York, including soldiers, sailors and
marines.
The last Of the 2,762 officers and men
of the old Goth arrived on Friday.
Large contingents of the 10000 of
the 77th Division are coming in almost
daily.
The last of the 2,700 men Of the 11th
Engineers will probably arrive to-day.
American soldiers still in Europe
are applying for employment through
the government at the rate of 10000
q week.
These men must have Jobs.
What is to be done about it?
The pressing issue, according to
Robert Grier Cooke, president of the
Fifth Avenue Association, can only be
met by as unselfish an attitude among
the employers of the city as the troops
displayed in the ranks. He stated yes
terday that the speedy reabsorption of
the discharged service men was an i'm
pelling necessity, first, for the proper
support and recognition of the return
ing soldiers, and, second, as insurance
against the dissemination of radical
ism among unemployed.
Gravity of Situation
"The gravity of situation where
thousands of our service men are left
to wander the streets without work
must appeal to every thinking business
man." said Mr.. Cooke. 81 believe, how
ever, that the job for the returned SOL
dier is here, resolving itself into the
problem of connecting the man with it,
I've have had difficulties in persuad-
ing the men to so back to their former
occupations. In this respect | believe
the soldier himself can assist in re-
ileving the situation
"On the other hand, any effort on the
part OF the business man to make Way
for the soldier, sailor or marine in the
industrial and commercial life of the
city regard not only q duty but a
necessity.
with the revival of business coming
on the question, | feel, is rather a tenn
porary one and will in all probability
he remedied within the next few
months, not without, however, the full
est cooperation al ali employers of la
