JAPANESE ROYALTY
MAKES MONEY GRANTS
Imperial Household Prdcti-
caEiy Pays Taxes to Cities.

TOXIC, Dec. 1.-The Imperial House.
hold Department has decided TO make
grants 70 different localities throughout
Japan approximating the amount OF
taxes which would have TO be paid for
tracts OF land owned by the Imperial
Household If they were owned by private
subjects The grants. which we're
handed 70 different communities NoveEs-
ber 3, amounted to $4,000, OF which
Toltio-fus share was s1,250
The financial difficulties OF cities,
towns and villages OF late have been
brought to the attention OF the DEPART
ment which has been studying the ques-
tlon for some time. The Investigation
recently was completed. and the idea OF
making tho grants was executed at the
beginning Of the present fiscal year. II
will be carried out annually. The prac-
tlcal effect will be to pay land tax on
tho property owned by tho Imperial
household.

are an unhappy people. Perhaps that
accounts for this trait. but their lot Is
so infinitely better now than II ever mas
been II is reasonable to suppose that
more constructive traits will develop
with succeeding generations. However
that may be, when the Japanese started
10 police the country they mad thelF
hands full.
In the days previous Corean mobs
found little difficulty in overpowering
their own police The uniform COM
manded no respect from them and the
swords OF the police elected no fear
because they wero dull. Mobs had their
own way. With the installation OF Jap
anese police. however. the situation
changed. That is. ii changed when the
gendarmerie was brought In. because
the Japanese civil police were unable 10
cope with the situation.
Unfortunately because of the vast eX-
panse OF the country. not enough gem
darmes could be furnished TO really
maintain in order through force OF num-
bers. so many OF them were mounted and
sent scurrying hither and thither over
the land to give the appearance OF pelnS
present In great numbers.
II was in consequence OF this scarcity
of numbers that the abuses OF which we
have heard developed, because for many
OF the villages only one Japanese gem
darme could be spared. In the remote
sections, so remote that even the rice
had to be sent by parcels post, the Jap
anese gendarmes were given Corean as
sociates These were on the ratio OF
three to one and because of their isola-
ton and minority in numbers, the Japan
ese officers found themselves powerless
to maintain discipline. So, when the
Coreans inaugurated a system of abuses
of their power as officers Of the law, the
Japanese In charge of these isolated
groups found that they had to submit to
the schemes of their Corean assistants
or be put down.
The Japanese Government, having
learned of these abuses. was effecting
the needed reform when the revolution
disrupted everything, so now, the Gov
ernment Is picking them up again to so
ahead with the revision OF the police
system as though nothing had happened.
If the missionaries and the scribes and
Pharisees will just lie dormant for a
little while. the work viii go on of de-
veloping the Coreans into peaceful,
useful people who will be able to get
some joy out of living.

and IL will be necessary then to draw
upon the power house erected in connec-
tion with the scheme for the electrifica-
tion OF the Melbourne suburban railways
up to a limit OF 10, 900 kilowatts.
Electric power supply has now become
a state concern. and the Electricity
Commission has received Parliamentary
authority to erect a generating station
at Morweii eighty miles east OF Asl-
bourne, wnare there exist enormous de-
posts OF brown coal. Intensive boring

station. These quantities are sufficient
to provide for the continuous operation

10000 kilowatts for a period OF $50
years. while outside this area there is

rubber goods. comprising principally

interesting as an indication of the adj
vance OF American products in the Lat
in American markets when 1t is known
that formerly our expectation to the Ar
gentine of rubber goods comprised but
small quantities of hospital and drug

II is claimed. however, that the prod
ucts the United States now sell to Ar

that beyond this fact the American ways
OF dealing have not given general sat

fore feels that the time is ripe for the

MELBOURNE, Nov 25.-New sources oc

Trade Now Enjoyed by Ameri-

How completely the products of Great
Britain foTrnsrly dominated the I'M
portant markets of South America, and
how even in the face of almost insur-
mountable obstacles lack of transporta-
ton, and falling off of production IT has
maintained its supremacy In many types
Of products. is graphically set forth In
series OF commercial seports compiled
and issued by the AnEIo-South Ameri-

While the reports are primarily written
for and directed to British merchants
and manufacturers with a view OF as

Gains by United States.
A fact of particular interest to busi-
ness men Of the United States is that
while Great Britain continues to main
tain her lead in the sal~ of some classes
OF products the United States has far
surpassed her in that regard in several
important commodities. This is espe-
cially true of the sale of rubber products
in Argentina, and the introduction on n
large scale of paints and varnishes Of
American manufacture.
AS an, indication of this the report
Of the Anglo-South American Bank has
to say: I'm the year 1913, paints, col
ors enamels and v&nishes were inn
ported to the Argentine to the value OF
S1,971,746 gold, OF which the United
Kingdom supplied 40 per cent. Germany
was the second country of supply and
the United States furnished 1875 per cent,
In the year 1918 these products were i'm
ported in considerably smaller quantities
but representing higher value, esti-
mated at s2.3S0,O74 gold, of which the
United States supplied some 20 per cent
leaving the United Kingdom with SO

THE LINE OF LEAST RESISTANCE.

From the vantage point of his
rooms in the parish house Holder
reviewed the situation. And de-
spite the desires thronging after
him in his flight he had the feel
ing OF one who, in the dark. has
been very near to annihilation.
What had shaken him most was
the revelation of an old enemy
which. watching it's chance, had be-
set him at the first opportunity:
and at a time when the scheme OF
life. which he f1attered himself to
have solved forever, was threaten
ing once more to resolve itself into
fragments. He had. as il by
miracle, escaped destruction in
some insidious form.
- He shrank instinctively from an
analysis of the woman in regard to
whom his feelings were so compli-
Gated, and yet by no means lacking
in tenderness. But as time went on
he recognized more and more that
she had come into his life at a
moment when he was peculiarly
vulnerable. She had taken him Off
his guard.
