Cured to the Japanese government
that a gentleman's agreement needs
revision" said an official Of the
foreign once in an exclusive state
ment here today.
$50 far the japanese government
has lived up to this agreement con-
scientiousIy. We are doing all that
is humanity possible from outside
to see that il is observed. H. how
ever. the American government
should take up the matter, then
naturally we should consider its
revision. So far. however, no such
move has been made by either SIDE.
Japan is not asking for unrestricted
immigration to America. II desires
only that the Japanese already there
be accorded the same treatment the
other aliens receive.
Amazed BY Fuss.
We were amazed by the fuss that
has been kicked up over a handful
of Japanese in California who can
not number more than $4,000 at
generous estimate. 1t is absurd
that such a handful should threaten
the industrial Japanization OF the
Western coast"
Although japanese papers have
been printing long news dispatches
regarding the agitation in Califor-
mia, particularly the investigation
now probing the Japanese question,
there has been remarkably little
editorial comment. The California
question has been overshadowed for
the moment by the civil war in
China, the Siberian situation and
the Diet in session.
Yorozu, one Of the leading Tokyo
journals. this morning contains the
first bitter attack on America in
week. 1t says:
America is no longer the land Of
Lincoln but a country of selfish
devils. America has embarked on
polio yof selfishness threatening
greater harm to the cause Of hu-
manity than German militarisrn.
Americans have become diseased
with Japanophobia. Japan. metiCu-
lously observing the gentleman's
agreement. has kept in effect the
strictest regulations on passports to
America.
She no longer permits picture
brides to receive passports and even
prohibits immigration TO Mexico be
cause il has been charged the Japa-
nese enter America across the Mex
lean border. Japan has done every
thing America could expect. Now
America wants TO deprive the Japa-
nese in America OF their vested
rights This causes doubts as to
the soundness Of American civiliZa-
tion. Agitation described in recent
dispatches from America are fanati-
cal and difficult to believe"

COIN FISHING
ON BROADWAY
Gum Fastened on Stick Let
Down in Grating and
Cash Recovered.

The Broadway fishing season in
New York has opened auspiciously
and groups of enthusiastic anglers
are to be found on almost any
block nowadays. Undisturbed by
the roar of traffic and the curiosity
of the thousands of passing pedes-
trians these fishers follow the sport.
and find it profitable as well as ex-
citing. With very few exceptions
these Broadway anglers are small
bootblacks and newsies, but now
and then one finds an adult trying
his luck.
The fishing holes" are the graf
ings over the subway tracks. and
the fishing" tackle is a distinct
departure from the popular idea. 1t
is simplicity itself. but like the
crooked stick, wrapping cord and
bent pin of the country boy, seems
to be highly effective when prop
erly welded. The lure of these
fishers is a piece Of stout twine, a
piece of wood about a foot long and
a chunk of chewing gum.
Coins spotted Through Cracks.
The twine is tied to the stick
and the gum is stuck on the lower
end of the stick. Then the fisher
man peers down through the graf
ing until he sees what he is look
ing fora copper. nickel, perhaps,
or some article that has been
dropped by a hurrying subway goes
or other pedestrian. and which has
found a resting place among the
sweepings on the screen which
hangs about six feet below the side
walk.
Really it is surprising how many
coins can be spied there If one takes
the trouble to look, and these street
urchins do not seem to mind the
trouble by any means. When one
of them spots a penny or nickel or
whatever II is, he examines his
chewing gum bait. II IL has grown
cold or solid he chews it to the
proper consistency.
If it is too dirty even for this
method he borrows a match and
heats his bait till 1t softens. Then
he carefully lowers the gum direct
ly over the coin and then-plop-N
falls and sticks the coin fast.
That's all there Is to it. 1t works
hne. As one grimy little, olive
skinned American in the making
said:
IAN you gotta do is to have a
straight eye and keep the gum soft,
why, say, some days I get plenty.
i've made 16 to 81 cents often in a
day. and I've pulled out a nickel
and cents so far today in two
hours. It's soft-thats what 1t isl"

One evening Pilkins went down
to the red brick house in Gra-
merry Square, and made what
he thought was proposal to
Alice V. d. f. Alice. with her
nose turned down, and thinking
of his money, considered it a
proposition, and refused it ano
him. Pilkins, summoning all
his resources as any good gem
eral would have done, made an
indiscreet reference to the ad-
Vantages that his money would
provide. That settled il. The
lady turned so cold that Walter
Wellman himself would have
waited until spring to make a
dash for her in a dog sled.

INDIA PRODUCING CEMENT.

Within five years a. new industry
has come into being in India, which
seems, at first thought, oddly out Of
keeping with that land Of ancient
ways. One does not think Of cement
construction as characteristic of In
aia, yet in the years Immediately
before the war so much cement con-
stIaction was there in progress that
vast quantities of cement were being
imported not only from England,
hat also from Germany, Belgium,
Italy, Austria and Hongkong. Until
1914 practically no cement was
made in India. Then the first Of
the three modern cement works was
started, and now India produces
about half of the cement needed for
Indian construction.

APPROPRIATE ALTERATION.

pain aggravated his naturally irasci-

was accustomed to divert his mind
by painting. His models were al
ways soldiers. In this relation the
Germans tell story.
One day he kept a tall grenadier
posing for long time. At length
the picture was finished. The king
turned to the man, and, in terrible
voice, asked:
'FWhat do you think of that?"
