Sees Peril for Japan in u. 5.

The Japan Advertiser, an American news
paper in Tokyo, reprints this from the
Japanese magazine Gandai which attrib-
utes it to the pen of an anonymous jap
anese staff officer:
'~Those who have watched the course of
events are agreed that after the war the
countries which will control the destiny
of the world will be Japan, England and
America. Apart from the question of ia
pans position in the coming world, Amer
lea has reason to put obstacles in the way
of our national progress. Japan is coun-
try which sends undesirable immigrants to
the United States, Japan is a competitor of
America in the economic field of China.
Moreover, Japan is country which is
likely to participate in the coming conflict
between England and America on the side
of the former. Although America will not
go to war with England in the near, future,
the progress of Japan thing that Amer
ica has reasons to deprecate. But America
knows too well the cause OF Japan's de-
velopment, hence Americas endeayors to
put check to the enhancement of Iapan's
army and navy"
The best method of cuEtailing Japan's
army and navy is to attack her militarism.
The Americans know this. In other words,
they know that the best way of enfeebling
Japan's defense is to antagonize the civil
population and the army. And the Ameri-
cans are right in hitting on this way, since
Japan's militarism is being discredited by
the civil population. The enemy is not
Germany, but is German militarism' is the
banner under which the allied troops, to-
gether with the American, fought the Ger
mans. Now that Germany is down, pow
erless to do mischief, the allied countries
and America are turning against Japan and
her miitarism.
"When the question OF renewing the
Anglo Japanese alliance arose year ago
in England, public opinion was in favor
of continuing it, but when the opinion of
America and the British dominions was
sought, it. was found those countries op-
posed the continuation of the alliance un-
less Japan promised to abandon her mill
tarism. And the opinion of America and
the British dominions carried the day The
maneuverings of America in this matter
may better be imagined than stated.
Needless to say, Americas activities
are based on its wealth, its military power
| and what is called the American soul u
Americas almost inexhsustible wealth is
common knowledge. AS for its army, she
made great increase in her army since
the conclusion of the late war. As for the
navy. she will outstrip England in naval
| power by 1925.
"The question which naturally arises
here is, what is Japan doing in anticipa-
ton of these American warlike prepara-
tions?"

Although the grand jury had been
dismissed until Thursday, Circuit
Judge Charles Hardin called it into
session this afternoon to investigate
both the abduction and action of the
mob.

talk to him several minutes this af-

certain Jenkins was the one who hit
him and added that the white boy did
not strike him and said very little:
The negro, he said, jumped out Of

the sinkhole and striking him re

the white boy. That was the last he
remembered.

1.-TWO crimes have been commit

and Government.
Members of the mob who storm

breaking down several doors and
damaging public property, are guilty
of acts of treason. They are lifting
their hands against the Govern
ment These offenders should be
brought to sense of reason.
He urged the jurors 4to conduct
their investigation 4npartially and
act courageously.
Authorities are still silent, but it is
understood that no new evidence has
has been unearthed. Hope of estab-
fishing identity of the guilty person,
through comparison of fngerprints
with those on the bucket and jar

w. D. Samuels stated Tuesday that
it was almost impossible for one to
spend much time about the uptown
streets without being asked by some
stranger regarding housing accom-
modations. 1T is a fact, he also said,
that there is an unprecedented demand
for houses in Richmond and that if
there were one hundred houses built
in one day, they would all be occupied
within week. The city is rapidly
being transformed. Many of the old
landmarks are being razed to make
way for more modern buildings and in
the meantime there seems to be a
steady influx of new residents, or
those who desire to become residents
of Richmond, providing they can get
some place to "reside"

Still IN CLARK

Deputy Sheriff j. D. Bush of Clark
county, a brother of Deputy Sheriff
SAINT Bush, of Richmond, together
with Dan Insko, another deputy,
raided Clark county's first moonshine'
still. 1t was found in an unoccupied

essary to walk almost two miles be-
fore the place can be reached Henry
Mckinney, John Will Mckinley, Will
Holder, Jr., and Hamp Turner are in
Jail at Winchester charged with moon,
shining. The apparatus consisted of
a grinder; a "worm" formed of iron
pipe which evidently had been fill
ed with sand and wound about a
tree trunk, and an ordinary large tin
can fastened to the end. The officers
discovered 20 gallons of mash and
about q peck of corn.
The discovery of the still followed
a free-for-all fight among the men,
when Henry Mckinney secured a
warrant for the arrest of the other
three. When John Will Mckinney
was arrested he supposed the charge
was moonshining and told of the
whereabouts of the still and fur
nished the officers with key to the
place
The door was locked and the still
temporarily abandoned when the
raid was made. Henry Mckinney
had formerly occupied the house
and recently had moved to Boones-
boro. The officers discovered at 9th
er points traces where the still had
been operated. Each of the prison
ers 'put the blame" on the others.
John Will Mckinney has cut on the
mead as result of the fight.

ward Revision and Elects
Grade Teachers

An increase of over $4,000 per an
mum in salaries paid to the teachers
OF the Richmond city schools was pro-
vlded for by the members of the CITY
Board of Education at their regular
meeting Tuesday night. The scale of
salaries for the ensuing year was fixed
at from $40 to sol in the grades, an
increase over the former salary scale
which was from $57 to $75 per month.
Salaries for the colored teachers were
not fixed at his meeting, nor were the
colored teachers elected. This will be
done by the Board at its regular meet
ing the first Tuesday night in May.
The teachers elected for the grade
work in the white schools were:
Second gradc-Misses Curtis Nc
Kinney and Geneva McCarty.
Third grade-,Miss Nettie Oldham;
one vacancy. ....
Fourth gradc-Misses Bessie Dud-
ley and Jeanette Pates.
Fifth grade-Miss Kathryn Parke;
one vacancy.
Sixth grade-Miss Mabel Kunkel;
one vacancy.
Seventh grade-Miss Alice Baxter.
Miss Baxter is from Midway and will
be a new member Of the faculty.
Miss Curaleen Smith was reelected
to high school work. Miss Lucille
Dean will also be or the high school
faculty. She is from Garrad county.
She is a member of the graduating
class at State University and is cap
tain of the girls' basket BALI team at
that big institution. She comes highly
recommended.
The principaiship of the high school,
made vacant by the resignation of Rev.
D. H. Starns, is still untitled.
The Board is working on its budget
for next year and will have it in shape
before the May meeting of the City
Council in May, at which time it will
ask for the school tax levy for the en-
suing year. The school levy for the
past year was "A cents on the S100. A
maximum tax levy of $1.50 was al
lowed by the recent legislature, but,
of course, this amount will not be ask
ed by the Board, which is anxious to
keep the tax as low as is consistent
with its hope for modern school sys-
tenn for Richmond. There will have to
be an increase over last year, members
of the board gay, to take care of the
big increase in teachers salaries. Then
too, quite a sum will have to be spent
to put old Madison Institute building
in habitable shape, The site is a splen-
did one in every way, but the board
members say that they will have to
spend quite a sum to make the place
modern in any respect.
Superintendent J. Howard Payne en-
tertained the board members at his
home with a delightful supper.
