CHANGES IN JAPAN.
The Iinricksha and the Kimono Seem
to be Losing Their Ancient
Prestige

That familiar ancient relic, ricksha,
slender carriage drawn by man-pow-
err. seems now on the way to its death
bed, to the great wall of curious tour
lists. The existing narrow and bad roads
alone are keeping its life. Whether
for good or for ill, the growing severity
of the worldwide struggle for existence
has been compelling the reluctant Nip
ponese to forsske many of the anti
auated things and institutions that had
long been dear to their hearts. Esthet-
ically disposed men like Lafcsdio
Hearn would have Japan remain for
ever picturesque" and curse the sky
scrapers and factory chimneys; but
notion, like an individual, must live,
and live decently too. Present age
is no doubt an age of machinery; and
no man power can cope with the gen
eral tide of the world and hence the
mechanization of almost everything.
Neither can man power pretend TO ri
val with mechanical force-it must
give way to a roller, an automobile,
and a cinema. And ricksha now must
give way to jitney. II had its day.
But the rickshsmen do not think so.
Thev have the love and respect OF their
trade. When lately the city of Yoko-
hama granted license TO big jitney
bus company, the rickshamen attempt
ted a desperate effort to smother the
| project at the outset, but it proved in
vain. And numerous baby motor cars,
allowing two passengers, will soon be
speedily carrying people around at the
rate of 25 sen per mile. The service is
to start about July Is

A west side Nermonter, travelling
over the Roosevelt highway in Yer
mont by motor car, discovered that
'the worst roads are TO be found on
the western end of the highway and
that east of Richmond the thorough
fare is a constant delight" barring a
stretch of highway between Montpel-
Ter and East Montpelier. II the same
Vermonter had continued the explora
ton of the eastern side Of the state he
would have found plenty of good gravel
roads, even roads of the highest quail
ty. for instance, running along the Con-
necticut river and also the main high
wav between Barre and White River
Junction. He would have LEARNED, too
that much Of the complaint about al
legged poor roads in Vermont originated
in the western part of the state, where
some of the highways are wretched
Those who complained had a right 70
complain about the condition of the
roads in their section but not Of the
state as a whole.

LAKE GIVES UP DEAD
Body of Leslie Hunter Was Found In
Lake Bomoseen.

Rutland, July 29.-The body OF Les
lie Hunter, who was drowned by the
capsizing of canoe in Poorfarm bay,
near the northern end Of Lake Bono
seen July Is, was found yesterday by
w. d. Bull of Castleton and party OF
guests from the Prospect house, who
were cruising about in Mr.. Bulls mo-
torboat. The remains were floating on
top of the water very near the spot
where Fremont Ross of this city said
that Hunter sank when the canoe was
overturned, Ross, who was one OF the
occupants, saving himself by swim
ming ashore, after trying in vain to
rescue Hunter.
Because so much time had elapsed
since the drowning and careful drag
cling had failed to bring the body to
the surface, rumor had gained ground
that Hunter was trying to hoax the
people and had not been drowned. More
and more people and number OF prom
inent residents of the town of Castle
ton had formed this opinion.
Probably never before has the lake
been the scene of such determined
search to find the body of person
who met death in its waters as was
the case in the present instance. Tn
der the direction of Selectman james
Ryan of Castleton a party was organ
lied and with graphing irons, dynamite
and divers they had worked for tbs
last 10 days without getting any trace

WOULD TAKE over
GERMAN TRADE

Washington.-A plan under which
American steamship companies would
take over and operate with American
ships the 60 pre-war world trade routes
OF the Hamburg.American line is be
ing worked out by the shipping board,
subject, Il is understood, 10 the ap
proyal OF the German company.
The proposal was approved by the
senate commerce committee, 10 TO 4,
after Chairman Payne had explained
1t In executive session.
Both Chairman Jones and Mr.. Payne
said the board would not be a party
to the proposed arrangements with the
Hamburg-American line; that it's part
merely would be to furnish ships
either through sale or lease and TO lend
its cooperation In obtaining this bust
ness for American shipping interests
II was said that any arrangement
made would be n cooperative one, that
the Hamburg American line had the
port facilities for handling its pre-war
business, but was without ships, The
routes which the American companies
will take over include not only those
between Germany and the United
States, but also those to South Ameri'
ca, the orient and other parts of the
world.
