u. S AND ENGLAND MAY TAKE
HAND IN FAR EAST AFFAIRS

BY The Associated Press.
TOXIC, Sept. A belief prevail
ing i'm Japan hat the United states
and England may join hands in re-
straining Japan in her Far Eastern
policy has been the basis of much
comment in the press.
Japan's brilliant writer, Iichiro
Tokutomi, the editor of the military
organ, the Kokumin, wrote a spe-
cial article on American-English re-
lations in which he called the United
States the "enfant terrible" of the
world. Mr.. Tokutomi regards the
prospect of cooperation between
England and America with some
anxiety. The world will be obliged
to agree with what they agree, he
observes. but he considers himself
with the thought that such coop
Grafton is unlikely owing to Ameri-
can suspicious of England and lack
of world knowledge.
After summing up his conclusions
as to the position of England as ar
bitter of the world, Mr.. Tokutomi
says:
But there m England's COM
petitor, whom England at least in
her heart of hearts fears as a for
midable power. America may be
called an exposition of the worlds
different races. But the mainstay of
the American people is the Anglo
Saxons. England and America are
brother nations with the Atlantic
between them. The destiny of the
world is now entrusted to these
brother nations.
IF they should cooperate in the
work of solving the problems of the
world, however unreasonable the re-
suits of such solution maybe. the
world will be obliged to agree"
thinks Mr.. Tokutomi. But he asks:
as America willing to act the role
of younger brother and follow Eng
lands lead? Americans want to be
the first in everything. Will they
be content to take the second place
in the solution of world problems?"
He doubts il, saying: ITO think that
America will follow the lead of Eng
land as a younger brother dutifully
obeying orders in the solution of the
world problems and will be the
unique supporter of England IS the
observation of a blind man."
Mr.. Tokutomi describes the Amer
leans in this way: I'm a word the
American is a rustic person who
does not know anything about the
world. He enjoys globe trottinS and
Europe is his pleasure ground
where he dumps his money. But or
all occasions he carries his w
country in his travelling bag. Con
sequently aside from satisfying hi:
own desires for pleasure he doe.
not enlighten himseslf very much by
his observations of the world.
In short, Mr.. Tokutomi observes
the va has Americanized the world
rather than influenced America. Mr..
Wilson'S advocacy of the democratic
cation OF the world was in his opin-
ion an illustration of how the Amer
lean tries to measure the world with
the rule he applies to his own u
try. The American considers hat it
is his mission to force Americanism
upon other nations.

EDW. MILLER DIES
 SUDDENLY
Heart Trouble and Alcoholism
 Claims BriCkyard Worker

Medical Examiner Waterman Lyon today gave his finding in the case of Edward Miller. aged 3T years. who was found dead last night at the Roberts street dump, that the death was due to heart trouble and acute alcoholism. Miller, who was em- pIoyed at Towers brickyard. was dis covered shortly after 6 o'clock last night by Edwin Hulteen of Is Roberts street and Charles Oquist of 19 Roberts street. The men had, been watching the actions of the deceased for a few minutes before he sat down at the dump. and when the body fell forward a few moments later they went to investigate. Life was found to be extinct. and the police were notified. Station Officer Herbert C. Lyon and Motorcycle Patrolrnan Will liam Strolls were sent 10 the scene, where they remained until permis- sion was granted by the medical ex- aminer for removal T. w.

 The dead man had been resident of this city all his life and resided for many years on Brook street. He leaves his mother. Mrs. Lindner of Cleveland street. and several brothers and sisters. whose whereabouts were not ascertained at this writing. A short time before o'clock, Miller, who appeared to be under the in- fluence of liquor entered the store conducted by Mrs. C. P. Schaefer at s14 South Main street. He was rather unsteady on his feet, and it was with apparent difficulty that he seemed to know just what he desired to pur- chase After ordering some steak he left the store and started in the di- rection of Roberts street Several people residing in that vicinity noticed the unsteady gait of the man as he entered the dumping grounds. As he reached the slope of the dump, he sat down, and in a few seconds the body was seen by Hulteen and oqufst to fall forward. It was at this time that they went to the place and found him dead.
