claims the daily circulation of about
100000 copies. At present it is ad-
mittedly the most popular and one
Of the most representative news
papers in Japan and is supposed to
echo the sentiment Of a great many
Japanese in Central Japan. In the
leading editorial Of over two and a
half columns in length, for April II,
it says:

There are many and various reasons
to account for it, but the following are
among the chief causes Of the trouble:
IL. America does not fully under

"The school question in Hawaii IS
another manifestation of the selfsame
spirit If the Japanese are permitted
TO apply the self-determinaton prin-
ciple of President Wilson to as bold
an extent as the Italians are doing in
their claim on Fiume; If America is
ready to be consistent with herself to
the extent of applying the same spirit
and tactics which have been used in
behalf Of the establishment of the
Irish Republic, 1t may very readily be
argued that Japan should agitate the
work for the annexation of the Ha-
waiian Islands to herself and their
divorce from the United States, because
there is not the slightest shadow of
doubt that there are more JAPANESE in
the islands than any other race-and
like the Italian population of Fiume
they would prefer being under the adj
mlnlstratlon OF their own mother coun-
try rather than under tho United
States. And even if this cannot he
admitted 1t would seem that they should
be allowed an independent existence

acts of hostility against Japan which
were committed outside of the United
States:

way from the control Of Japan.

In concluding her Introductory
the author reflects:
"She (Miss Booth) would not have
me say these things Of her, for she is
humble, as such a great leader should
be, knowing all her gifts and attain
ments to be but the glory Of her Lord !;

"1n short, the unlawful and unfai,

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
WILL ASSIST SOLDIERS

The Colville chamber of commerce
has organized a department to do
all they can to assist the returning
soldiers in finding employment
where so desired and also to assist
employers in finding competent help.
To this end it is desired that all
returning soldiers of Colville or Ste
vens county who desire employment
will make application to the secre-
tary of the chamber of commerce
stating what they are capable of
doing and what they wish to do, and
also that all employers of labor in
any line of work will also list their
wants so that every effort may be
made to get the two together.
Many of these men are expe-
rienced office men, lumbermen, log
gers, truck drivers, machinists,
engineers, farmers, stockmen, miners
and almost every branch of service.
Employers of labor anywhere are
urged to make use of this bureau,
and thus be factor in placing such
of these men who are in need of
places, thus doing not only yourself
service but rendering some re-
turn to those men who were willing
to sacrifice their all for you and their
country.

SERGEANT GUY C. STURMAN
WRITES FOLKS AT HOME

Sergeant Guy c. Sturman, son of
Mr.. and Mrs. S. C. Sturman of Gif-
ford, writes from Germany where he
is with the army of occupation, tell
ing about his trip. Before his en-
listment, May, 1917, he was with
the J. C. Penney store in Colville.
December 1S he wrote his parents:
eve moved into this place yester-
day and are hardly more than
settled. Four of us are living in a
house that has been temporarily
vacated by the owner and so we
have nearly all the comforts of
home. Don't know how long we'll
be here, but it is safe to say that
We'll be on the move soon, as we've
been doing our share Of moving of
late. AS you no doubt know by
this time, we are a part of the
army of occupation. Our division
is scattered here and there through
the towns and villages of the sur
rounding country, doing guard duty.
The place we are located in at pres
ent is typical of the small German
villages, has few hundred inhabi-
tants, one railway station and no
stores. 1t is nearly due west of Cob

tion of the Rhine and Moselle rivers.

they can muster, while at heart l

Give CONCERT
TO BUY BOOKS
ENTERTAINMENT PROCEEDS TO
START FUND FOR A CIRCU-
LATING LIBRARY
To Provide Reading Material for the
Children of Stevens County
Is Worthy of Support

To meet the book needs of those
children in Stevens county who
would otherwise. be without suitable
reading material, is the purpose be-
hind the concert planned for Mon
day evening, February II, in the
Palace theater on Main street. This
movement has been growing in pub
lie sentiment for some time, people
of the county feeling that the chill
dren Of poor families or those not in
touch with library facilities, should
not be without the wealth of en-
joyment and education to be OBJ
tained from good books.
How great is the need for "story
books" was shown by the eagerness
with which the children welcomed a
few books which were mailed out at
Christmas time to dependent chill
dren in the county. When the fund
is once started, the idea of those be-
hind the campaign is to put good
books for the young people into a
circulating library for the benefit of
those who would have no other op-
portunity to read suitable books. A
committee is to be appointed to take
charge of the fund, the nucleus of
which is to be the proceeds of the
concert which is under the manage
ment of Miss Violet Hailowell.
The concert was first planned to
aid in the Armenian campaign with
William C. Keller as chairman in
charge of arrangements, but when
the city had reached its quota, it
was decided to give it for the CAR
menians at home." Mr.. Keller con-
tinues in charge of the general COM
mittee on arrangements and Quinn
w. McCord has been appointed to
head the hall committee, while Miss
Bernice Lee is chairman of the COM
mittee in charge of the stage and
decorations.
That the benefit concert is to be
popular is shown by the enthusiasm
of those asked to help it for such a
purpose. H. D. Williams offered
the committee the use of the Palace
theater building and others have re-
sponded generously to requests for
help. The program, arranged under
the supervision of Miss Violet Hal
lowell, will be announced later and is
to include music, dramatic and dane
ing numbers by well-known people.
Prominent citizens have expressed
their approval of the movement to
start circulating library for country
districts, telling of personal expe-
riences in some homes where the
reading opportunities for the children
of the family We're confined to some
cheap magazines, the almanac, cat
alogues, etc. To give them child
hoods heritage of folk lore, history
and other literature is considered
worthy of support.

"They say that there will be a

tell us that the priest and church
people stand in with the military
powers against the socialists.
