MIR. Greenleaf and Mrs. Preston by
Mrs. Wales, were exceptionally well
taken. The entire play was clever
and more than pleased a large aud
fence.
Sunday-Fifth Day
For the Sunday prelude Mr.. Cor
don introduced BANDS rchestra I'M
der the leadership of Mr.. Herbert
Naumen. This organization is made
up of college men, coming from as
many schools. These young men
have been on the Chautauqua plat
form for several seasons and were
well fitted to present a pleasing half
hour entertainment. They played
very we'll selections from "The Bo-
hemian Girl" opera by Balfe, and a
sacred medley overture, 81 Love to
Tell the Story" arranged by All
Hayes. Mr.. Naumen, the director,
then sang "Amorilla" by Claim. Mr..
Burdette Bailey, an artist on his
xylophone, delighted his audience
with several good selections. The
prelude Of the afternoon was conclu-
dtd with the novel number, "The Evo-
luton of Dixie" by M. l. Lake. This
number presented Dixie as it might
have been played during the ages be-
ginning with the Garden of Eden,
and taking it down thru the many
types of music to the Grand Opera of
today.
DR.. Sudhindra Bose was then intro
duced for the lecturer of the day.
DIR. Bose was born in India and after
securing his education there came to
America to go on with his studies.
After graduating from several of the
best universities, he was chosen to
take the chair of political science in
our own State university at Iowa City,
where he is still teaching. DR.. Bose
knows the Orient and it's problems
as only an eudcated native can, and
he pointed out to us that the oppor-
tunity of the United States was in
deed in the Far East. The past war
has served to bring lands much closer
together and it has made the people
friends and not enemies. 1t has
caused new era to exist between
our United States and foreign coun-
tries. When we set about to solve
the problems of Europe we must not
forget that it is absolutely necessary
to consider the Orient as well as the
Occident. For the Orient is occu-
pied by one half of the human race.
In our survey of the problems in the
east it is we'll to consider the three
greatest ountries-Japan, China and
India.
For centuries Japan has led life
within itself, not caring to study 9TH
Ell people or mix with them in any
way. In 1852 an expedition was sent
from the United States to see if we
could not break down the barrier that
had existed for so many years. These
men of ours went armed with what
they hoped would impress the Jap
anese the most, for they took with
them farming implements, firearms,
two locomotives, telegraph instru-
ment, eight bushels of Irish potatoes,
some paint and some whiskey. ia
pan saw the advantages of having
these things and many more, and
threw open their doors to the outside
world for the first time. And in only
sixty years Japan has become the
paramount power of Asia. She has
not forgotten that is was thru the
United States that they learned to be-
come great and Japan is still very
grateful to US for our help. In these
comparatively few years Japan has
developed in many ways and now has
a very strong army and navy for SO
small a country. All Jajanese men
are trained to be brave and strong,
and they make splendid soldiers.
There are now two problems exist
ing between the United States and
Japan: 1. Japanese can not hold
land permanently in our country.
2. They can not be naturalized.
Japanese working people have been
excluded since 1907. Japan is only
as large as California and her popu-
lation is increasing a half million a
year. The Japanese are excluded
from Canada, Africa, Australia and
several other important countries.
The question is, where will the Japa-
nese go for they would starve to
death if they all tried to stay in
their own country. Since they must
go somewhere these people are flock
ing into Korea, and China and in
Korea are SO numerous that they have
gained control and are now subiu-
eating the Koreans to worse than
Prussian punishment. There are 20
