SPYING BY JAPANESE
D|sLIKEO BY VISITORS
EFFORTS TO KEEP OUT REDS
LEAD TO UNPOPULAR
PRACTICES

TOXIC. Oct. 13.-Referring to
the sensitiveness of the japanese
authorities about the movement of
suspicious foreigners" who arrive
in this country, the Jill says that
no doubt the authorities r wisely
careful to prevent the influx of
such dangerous ideas as Bolshevism
and socialism, but the result is
that foreigners who are very favor
ably inclined toward Japan are not
infrequently subjected to a system
of vexatious spying or shadowing.
The Jill relates that recently an
American whose name is well
known in business and economic
circles in America, while on his way
from Nagasaki to Toxic. is said to
have been subjected to examination
at the hands of half a dozen differ
ent detectives. The American who
is a friend of Baron S~hibusawa, in
the course Vi oil iHlci'iCN WIN h'
drew his attention to what had oc-
Cured during his journey and said
that such an experience, if suffered
by other foreigners, is likely to send
them away with a very unfavorable
impression of Japan.
The Jill also refers to the case
of DIR. Frederick Starr, professor at
the Chicago university, who is well
known among the japanese by the
name of "Ofuda Hakase' or charm
doctor, owing to the great interest
evinced by him in the collection OF
charms from the Japanese temples,
The American professor recently
arrived in Japan. AS soon as DR..
Starr landed at Yokohama the local
police authorities instructed a pO-
lice officer to follow him to Toxic.
Later when DR.. Starr left for a trip
to Mount Full. the police authori-
ties supplied, unmasked, a police
escort to the American visitor and
the officer accompanied him all the
way to the top of the mountain. DR..
Starr is at present staying at Kozu
and his residence, says the news
paper, is unnecessarily closely
watched by the lynx-eyed police.
The Jill adds: alt is the height
of absurdity that the Japanese au-
thOrities should evince suspicion
about the movements of such men
and detail detectives to keep watch
over them

Chilli TRYING TO
FIX RATE OF
EXCHANGE
STERILIZATION Is SOUGHT TO
REDUCE HIGH COST OF
OF LIVING

SANTIAGO. Chill. Oct. S.-The
Chilean government is endeavoring
to relieve the pressure of the high
cost of living by stabilizing the
rate of exchange. 1t has proposed
the adoption of a gold standard and
that Chilean currency should be
made convertible at sight. This
would be attended by the organiza-
tiOn of a central bank to act in the
same way as the federal
bank of the United States. 1t is
argued that this would put the
economical of the cOun-
try on a steady financial basis and
eliminate the private speculation in
gold which is felt to have much in
~fluence on the present exchange
rates.
The rise OF sterling exchange is
attributed in part to an adverse bal
ance of trade against Chilli in 1918
to the amount Of about $4,000, 900.
This difference has to be paid in
gold. consequently the peso declines
in value.
Chileans have been affected by
the increased cost of living like the
rest OF the world and there have
been public demonstrations, meet
lngs of labor men and congressional
debates on restrictions of exports
of foodstuffs and upon providing
work wor the unemployed.
Nitrate which is the mainstay of
Chilean industry, has been out of
the market for several months
owing to the slump in the demand
resulting from the ending of the
war and the scarcity of freight
steamers. This threw thousands of
workers out of employment. To
meet this labor situation the gov
eminent proposed measures provid-
ing for the expenditure of several
million dollars in construction of
highways and railways.

CONTROL OR GO DRY
ENGLAND IS WARNED
LIQUOR BOARD HEAD SAYS RE-
TURN TO OLD CONDITIONS
IMPOSSIBLE

LONDON, Oct. 13.-Britain must
choose between strict government
control of the liquor traffic or abso-
lutte prohibition, in the opinion of
Lord D'Abernon, chairman of the
liquor control board.
IF the Question is considered
broadly there are only two policies,
control OIL prohibition" said Lord
pre-war conditions would mean
drunkenness, in%efficiency, i'll health,
disease and the misery which has
VIGOROUSLY resulted from drunken
habits in the past.
81 believe that control is possible.
The experience of the war shows
that temperance and efficiency car
be obtained by regulation. be-
lieve the liquor trade is suspectible
to reform. Recent declarations by
leaders in the trade, appear to me
to warrant the belief that the new
school in the brewing trade is gain
ing a hearing, and that they have
realized that. the old methods of thu
anti-reform whole-hOg indulgence
advocates are no longer suitable to
modern conditions. The same change
is in evidence among licensed vic
tualers. / get many letters from
them urging that there be no return
to the old hours. during which their
work lasted IT hours instead of six
daily and when the conditions for
public house servants were a scan
dial.
There can be no doubt that the
position of licensees is enormously
better than before the war. They
work shorter hours, they have not
the same difficulty with drunken
ness and they certainly do not make
less money.

QUESTION
is PUzzL|AG GERMANS
| SONIE FAVOR SMALLER POPULA-
TION MAKING LESS PEOPLE
TO SUPPORT

BERLIN, Oct. 13.-The moot
question of emigration forms a
puzzling problem in Germany, all
the more so because of the huge
taxation that is planned
The empire is divided into two
unequal camps--those who favor
the emigration of between 10 AMI
20 million Germans because they
feel that Germany can only recuper-
ate if it has a smaller population
to nourish and support. and the
vastly larger group that feels emil
grafton must not be allowed be-
cause the forces are needed here to
take part in rebuilding and in pay
ing axes.
Financial experts estimate that a
man represents to Germany a capt.
tai of 20 times his annual earning.
AS the average German workman
now earns 1000 marks, his capital
would be 10000 marks. If 10000
emigrate each year as has been sug-
gested, then the Fatherland is eight
millions poorer each year, say the
experts, and that much intrinsic
capital is permanently lost. AS the
workman is the highest economic
property Germany still possesses,
emigration is a life and death ques-
ton for Germany.
Judge Bamberger of Aschersle-
ben, one of the many who have been
discussing the emigration problem
recently, declares that the new emil
grafton bureau of the government
must restrain each wOuld-be emf
grant at least six months. not only
so that his case may be investigated
but that he may have a chance to
change his mind.

ALASKAN STATES GLACIER
AS GOLD PLACER CLAIM

JUNEAU. Alaska, Oct. 13.-Di-
verting the entire stream of a gla-
cier by can of a tunnel and To-
eating the glacier as a gold placer
claim, is the latest word in Alaska
gold mining. Mendenhall glacier
thus has sprung into fame. The
locator is C. H. Boyles. Recently,
Boyles got his idea for the novel
venture in considering the possibili-
ties of a pool 40 feet deep in the
solid rock in the bed of the river
and about 100 feet from the point
where the river comes out of the
face of the glacier. Eight feet of
the pool is water and 80 feet soft
sand. Paintings have shown con-
siderable gold and black sand in the
vicinity. Hence Boyles took as his
theory that much Of the gold
washed out of the entire valley
above the pool had found lodgment
in the 80 feet Of sand Of the pool.

SANTO DOMINGO IN
FAVOR OF MARINES
SUGGESTION OF SPAIN FOR RE.
MOvAL OF MARINES NOT
FAVORED

! oAAN 0OAAN Il 49, 800
tin Tracieso, of the Santo Domingo
claims commission of 1917, has re-
Gently arrived here from Santo Do
mingo on his way to New York and
Washington to submit to the United
States government a memorandum
on conditions in Santo Domingo.
Mr.. Traviesto, who was formerly
lieutenant governor of Porto Rico
and a n~ativeNof this island, said he
doubted very much whether the
! Spanish colony in Santo Domingo
would support the suggestion made
by prominent leaders, deputies and
senators of Spain that this would be
an opportune time for the United
States to withdraw it's troops from
Santo Domingo. 1t will be recalled
that this suggestion signed by a
number of leading Spaniards was
forwarded by the Spanish govern
ment to Washington a few weeks
ago.
Mr.. Travieso said he had heard
of the Spanish suggestion while in
Santo Domingo but that apparently
little was known about 1t there. Il
have talked with many S~paniards in
the island" said he, land their con-
ditiOn is so much better today,
owing to the temporary American
ar nov fhon If UnC
during the revolutionary days of
the various independent Dominican
governments, that l am sure they
would be opposed to any change
that would tend to make their con
ditions less favorable than they are
today.
people of Santo Domingo are firmly
united he continued. They do
not want to be a part of the United
States. They want their country
preserved for them until such time
as the word independence will be
synonymous with liberty"
Mr.. Travieso said that the mill
tary government in many ways had
been most successful in Santo Do
mingo and he thought it had taught
the Dominicans that a government
could be maintained by adequate
military forces. In his opinion the
time had come VIII, a civil govern
ment should be established largely
among the Dominicans themselves
with the support of the United
States and American troops to main
tain order if necessary.
He expressed the opinion that
the United States should declare it's
intentions regarding it's future pol
icy in the island and said that
Dominicans now are opposed to
military occupation because they are
uncertain when it may be termin-
ated. He believes the leaders would
support the American military eff
forts enthusiastically if they could
do so without at the same time be-
ing accused of being traitors.
Since the American military oc-
cupation in November, 1916, said
Mr.. T~ravieso, revolutions have been
stopped, order has been established
and the country is in a more pros
porous condition than ever before.
Property wne and the more sub
stantial element throughout SantO
Domingo, he declared, are largely
agreed that it is for the best in
terest of the country for the Ameri-
can supervision of the Dominican
affairs to be continued until it is
safe to turn the government back
to the Dominicans themselves. but
all Dominicans are united in want
ing their independence as a nation
maintained.

reau Of Animal Industry, cattle
dipping will not begin in Ietfer-
son Davis parish until April 7t1
instead of March 18th, as pre-

ton Of the range cattle at this
time due to unusual bad cOndj-
tionS throughout the winter sea-

In setting the date for dipping it
appears that the destruction OF
the tick occupied the greater al
tention and the condition of the
herds, which in this section arc
forced to russell for their feed dur
ing the winter months, was not
fully considered.
April 7th seems to satisfy alt
interested and it is reasonable to-
presume that the tick will get his

EVERY Discharged SOLDIER
GETS S6O.0OBONUS

The revenue bill now in effect
provides that every discharged
soldier, and those to be discharg-
ed will receive a bonus of $4,000.
1t is eStimeted that at least 1850
1000 have been discharged from
the service already who are entitI-
ed to the benefits of this act. Al
though payments will be made as
rapidly as possible it will take
considerable time to write and
mail that many checks. There
are a great many in this section
already discharged who are en-
titled to the bonus and therefore
the method of securing it is here
published:
Section It of the revenue act
papproved Feb. n, 1919, author
ICES the payment of a bonus of
$4,000 to officers, soldiers, field
clerks, and nurses of the army
upon honorable separation from
actual service by discharge, reSig-
nation or otherwise, This bonus
is not payable to the heirs or rep
reSentatives of any deceased SOL
dier.
Those who are discharged here
after will receive this bonus on
the same roll or voucher upon
which they are paid their final
pay.
Those who have been diScharg-
ed and have received their final
pay without the $4,000 bonus
should write a letter to the zone
finance officer, Lemon Building,
Washington, D. c. stating their
service since April. 1917, the date
of last discharge, their present ad-
dress to which they desire their
bonus check to be sent and en-
closing with this letter their dis
charge certificate or military Or
der for discharge, or both, if both
were issued.
Upon receipt of this informa-
ton the zone finance officer will
cause checks to be drawn and
mailed to the claimants in the Or
der in which their claims were re-
ceived. The discharge certificate
will be returned to the soldier
with the check. There is very lit
tie chance of the discharge pa
pers being lost if they are sent to
Washington mad their presence
there is necessary in order for
payment to be made.
