Latah county officers elected in

on Monday, January 13 and after that
be held by a republican for the first
time in at least 10 years. Several

JAPS SURPRISED
At AMERICAN SPEED
ISLAND EMPIRE WANTS NO WAR
WITH SWIFT MOVING AMERI-
CAN PEOPLE

TOKIO.-(By Associated Press)-
| The rapidity with which the United
States prepared for war and the mag
nitude and success of her military op-
erations continue to draw expressions
of admiration from Japanese. Gen
orally speaking, the public in Japan
regarded the United States as a peace
loving nation, which, having no bent
for war, could never do much in the
building up of a great army.
The wonderful transformation of
America in the war is the subject
of many articles by prominent publi-
cists. Thus, DR.. Shigeo Suyehiro, pro-
fessor of Kyoto University writes:
"There is no Disgusting the fact
that prior to the war the Japanese
did not believe in the military
strength of America, but the present
titanic struggle has demonstrated
beyond all doubt the error of the Jap
anese estimate. The United States
has become a great military power
at bound and her navy is only sec
ond to that of Great Britain. The
financial resources of American are
something tremendous. It is stated
that America would be able to keep
the war going for quarter of a
century at the rate of expenditure
which she spent for the first year.
Nor it this all.
"The Americans are as great spirit
ually as their country is almost limit
less in her resources. Just imagine
that the Americans-whom the Jap
anese consider as slavish worshipers
of Mammon-w working for their coun-
try at an allowance of 81 year; they
endured the hardship of meatless and
wheatless days in order to obtain a
supply of surplus provisions available
for the allies; and no dissentient voice
was raised against the proposed re-
striction of the manufacture of liquor
"The material and spiritual sacri-
fices made by the Americans in the
cause of the war as evidenced in these
and other things are really wonder
full, showing as they do the greatness
of America and her people,"
DR.. Suyehiro thought that it would
be the height of absurdity for Japan
to pick quarrel with such a great
country without sufficient casus
belli Japan should stand for an open
door policy in the Far East, but in
return she should receive similar
treatment in Indo-C China, Canada,
Australia and New Zealand. He said
that America had been excluding JAP
anese' migrants but he thought it |
very doubtful whether she was suf-
justified in SO doing. Japan,
he said, should strive to have the
United States correct her attitude, not |
by brute force but by appealing to her
sense of justice and humanity, and
this he applied with equal force to
British and French territory where
against the Japanese is
in force. !,

on the first day school opened 80 per

and it is believed that within a week
or 10 days, if the influenza disappears
from Moscow, the enrolment and at
tendance will be normal. There are six
new students enrolled this week. A
nurse is employed by the school board
and has charge of the health of the
students, all of whom are carefully
watched for any SYMPTOMS of influenza.
