They are anxious. they insist. TO

the japanese already on the Coast.
They wish to have assurance that

some force. that the japanese have
never been a coloniziDg people; that
they came first to the United States
at the solicitation Of American EN-.
ployers: that left TO themselves,
there probably would not have been
an emigration In anything like the
numbers that have come TO America.
The japanese assert that they are

wishes OF the American people; that
they are restricting further emigra.

Protest Against
 Paying Taxes
 When Out of U. $.

Buenos Aires, Sept. 18.-Protest against the assessment of the Unit ed States income and excess profits tax upon American citizens and bus mess firms residing and operating abroad is voiced in a resolution ad- opted by the Chamber of Commerce of the United States in Argentina and sent to the government at Wash ington. Amendment to the law is asked on the ground that it is proving an obstacle to the development and extension of United States foreign commerce.
 Collection of the tax not only in- creases the heavy expenses of Amer jeans residing abroad, but constitutes serious handicap to them in trade competition, the resolution states, since no such tax is collected from the nationals of other countries. It is further pointed out that American citizens and business houses must pay heavy taxes levied by the coun- try in which they are located and are thus taxed twice without repre- sentation either. in the government of that country or their own.

West Sayvlle, N. Y, Sept. 1S.-- Propagation Of young oysters all ready to "sct out" guaranteed 10 mrl- tlply with proper care into flour lahlng brood, may result from exncr- imcnts just concluded by W. F. Wells. Of the New York Conservation Com mission, who today reported on his extensive study of oyster breeding.
 Mr, Wells, at his laboratory on the shore of the Great South Bay, has succeeded in keeping alive millions ot young oysters from the larva to the set" stage. In his report he said that hatcheries modelled after his plant can be built wherein the oysters may be incubated until time to set them out in deep waters.
 His method for developing oyster sets from oyster seed, or spawn. removes one of the chief obstacles in the commercial propagation of oys- sters, MT. Wells said
 "The seds are so small" he ex planned, "from the time the ayer laid by the oyster until they are mature enough to attach themselves to q surface in sets, that experimenters have had the greatest difficulty in deVising a practicable commercial method of keeping the tiny she'll fish suplied with fresh supply of salt water and food without washing them all down the drain.
 "When the oysters reach the set stage, they can safely be put in the beds to fend for themselves. After that time the oyster grows very | rapidly for aperiod of some weeks and gains full maturity within three or four years"
 One of the chief obstacles, that of handling the larvae, or tiny eggs, while changing their water, the re- port says, was overcome by the use of a centrifugal machine, which con centrates the eggs in small re- ceptacle. The matching apparatus was made of series of large in- verted glass carboys, fitted with tubes which permitted fresh sup ply of salt water and air to perco- late so gradually that the develop

BLINDNESS IS STILL PREVALENT
 IN ASIA MINOR
AfffflictiOn As Much Noted as in Biblical Day; Many
 Sightless Children

Constantinople, Sept. IS. - Blind ness is no longer prevalent in the Levant than it was in biblical days. Trachoma is responsible for most of the sightless men, women and chil- dren who wander through the streets of Cairo, Jerusalem, Damascus, Smyrna and Constantinople. Through out Armenia, Anatolia and Syria trachoma has been the malady which has given the American Committee for Relief in the Near East more trouble than all others combined. It is especially bad among children. Ii rages in the orphanages where little Armenians, Greeks, Jews and Turks have been gathered by philanthropic organizations which are endeavoring to nurse war-torn Turkey back tc normal health.
 In an effort to check the ravages ot trachoma and save well children from infection, the American Committee for Relief in the Near East is es. tablishing an eye hospital in Con- stantinople where all the tracho- matous children from the various or. phanages in the city will be isolated and given the best possible treat. ment for the disease. The Turkish government has placed a large hos. pital with many cottages at the dis posal of the Americans, rent free and it will be staffed chiefly by Am. ericans under the direction of Dr Blanche Norton, an American relie1 doctor who has just recovered from trachoma which she contracted while treating Greek orphans in Anatolia
 Build New Hospital.
 The new hospital will accommo date about 1000 patients.
 In addition American relief workers are working out campaign against trachoma which they hope the var ious government of the Near East will take up.
 The Constantinople eye hospital i: designed as center. from which { general educational and preventive campaign against trachoma may bt launched.
 All the treatments so far devised for trachoma are extremely painful pr. Blanche Norton, who is just re covering from the malady after fivt months of treatment, says the pal, of the daily treatments is so excruci ating that she can readily understand how frail patients die from the nerv ous shock. It is the hope of th' American committee that the Rock efeller Institution, or some simila, institution will devise treatments fo the malady which are less painful and more certain of effecting a per manent cure.
