BANKS ADVANCE MONEY.

Tokio. July 26.-The Bank of Ja- pan advanced money to relieve the financial situation with such gener- osity that early in May its outstand- ing loans amounted to 55,000,0oO yen. Some urge that the bank should raise its interest rate. for the effect of its present policy might cause recrudescence of speculative fever. The generosity of the bank has all ready caused a decline in the rates of interest on short loans and the gen. eral public is less cautious than be- tore.

"JEST RUNuNATIN." (Robert Russell.)

Opinions is most necessary in the lives we lives, but every man should cautious be in any that he gives. He isn't playin' fair if he jest grabs one from the air and then pro- claims it loudly-that ain't hardly playin' square. Perhaps lot of folks believes that he is smart an wise an don't inn agine that he sees fool visions in the skies They hears his talk or reads his words an gives 'em lots O weight. when possibly they're influenced by what the feller's ate. Beware O them thar fellers who is al lgs so dead sure that theirs is jest the only way all evil things to cure. Beware O the incorporate in talk as well as rGoZe; tho wise place little confidence in them: they've 'nought to lose.

BO0TLEGGING GAME
 IS PROMISING JOB
Small Fines Do Not Stop Actiob
 Of Liquor Dealers

Ottawa, July 26-As long as profit from bootlegging are what they are, {; and the only deterrent is a hns. oi1 s2oo or so, there will be big money in the bootlesging game, and it will be very difficult for the authoritie. on either side of the international line to stamp out the traffic ! That is the summary of opinion ex- :, pressed by Ottawa officials as to the situation regarding smuggling oi liquor from Canada to the United States. Further. high officials of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police say that while they are doing all in. their power to check infractions of the fed eral laws in this respect it is really for the American authorities to see that liquor does not reach the thirsty souls beyond the imaginary line 5000 miles long.
 The situation apparently is thai from three provinces in particular there is a large trade in bootlegging to the United States. These are Ontario, Quebec and British Colum bia. At the same time a respectable quantity of fiery liquid is finding its way across from the Maritime Provinces and from Manitoba. .
 At Windsor and in the surrounding districts the Mounted Police are car rying on a constant campaign against the illegal liquor vendors, and many have been hauled into court and con- demned to pay fines from $200 up. One parched Detoit man, however, is said to have parted with $500 foE; three cases of Scotch whiskey, which reached him via the underground .aute" a short time ago, so that the to e~ be nn in the illegal trade are known Windsor and issa,. Information rom sa authorities here that snn, sn.lnnates .o Nne that vicinity have found it norn u itable to smuggle liquor across tRe border than to farm, and have l4St' their their farms run to weeds while they pursue the elusive dollar via the bootlegging route.
 Quebec, it is stated, is the mecca for thirsty thousands of Am ericanS every weekend, and automobiles passing back and forth carry their loads of human and other freight, bound for the Sahara across the border. Under these conditions, Canadian authorities admit that it is practically impossible to enforce the stringent liquor laws at present in force. '
 The chief reason for the difficulty of enforcement, according to an official of the Royal Canadian Mounted Po- lice. who have under their jurisdiction the carrying out of all federal laws, is the fact that many people are not in sym pathy with the liquor legislaf tion, and the securing of contrabaKq liquo is regarded in many quarters as
 -l.. grace.
 However, if the carrying of liquor into the United States from Canada is to be prevented, it is intimated that it will have to be done by an army pf customs inspectors and police on tho American side of the line rather than in Canada.

FOUNDATION WORK.

The Court of International Justice is living thing. The delegates to the conference at The Hague. of whom Elhu Root was one. are satisfied with the work accom- plished. IL is believed the League of Nations will take ad- vantage Of it.
 Republicans. Democrats-cven bit ter-enders'' in the former party. and the people at large believe and know that some sort of relationship must be established between the countries of the civilized world.
 The League of Nations, with reser- vations approved by Governor Cox, if he Is elected President. may be the form in which this understanding is expressed. Another plan may be fol- lowed If Senator Harding is elected. The former is more definite because 1t is a working thing today; the latter may be accomplished. The whole idea, as conceived in the idealism of Presi- dent Wilson is Utopian, but not beyond the powers of men whole
  things in world life.
 And it is believed that at the foun- dation of such a meeting of the minds of nations, remaining as the stabiliz- ing force which will help to carry it through troubled waters. there will be the International Court of Justice.
 Tn Domestic affairs. in everyday life. in small matters as we'll as big, no business could be carried on with out the courts which bring unpreju- diced minds to the settlement of diff faculties arising from the honest diff ference of opinion of men. and from the human desire. SO apparent in many persons, to gain an advantage over his fellow.
 Of course a similar situation will arise among nations. The Interna- tional Court of Justice will play a big part in the successful working out of whatever plan is adopted. It is we'll that this country had a repre- sentative at its first deliberations such as E1ihu Root, unofficial though his position was. He now knows the characteristics of the minds of the men who met to arrange for such court. and he possesses the legal acumen to discern wherein their method of reasoning differs from the mind of the American. It is believed that he found smaller difference than would be supposed. for logical minds work similarly whatever their na- tionality.
 Heed. therefore. should be given to the results of the deliberations of these men at The Hague, for in them rests the principle that will. it Is be- lieved. eventually become the import ant part of the association or league in which America will participate.

Mr.. Spier is still a young man

result of years of strenuous labor

He is a player of forceful energy
and he may well be counted at once
as one of the foremost of the
younger generation OF local pianists.
This artistic has studied under the
leading instructors in this country
and abroad and his work fully
demonstrated the fact.
The program listed the following
numbers: Beethoven's "Sonate quasi
una Fantasia" Op. 81. No. 1: Grieg's
'TBallade," G minor; Chopin's Five
Preludes." C major, A fiat major.

DISTRICT FISCAL BILL
UP BEFORE CHRISTMAS

| Unexpected progress on the Dis
trict of Columbia appropriation bill
as result of the first days hear
| ings prompted the prediction yes
terday by Representative Charles
r. Davis. chairman of the District
of COLUMBIA subcommittee of the
House committee, that the measure
would be concluded and ready for
Introduction in the House before
the Christmas recess.
All three Commissioners-J. Thil-
man Hendrick, Miss Mabel Board
man and Col. c. w. Kutz-appeared
before the committee yesterday to
explain various items submitted in
the estimates for appropriations.
Because two of the Commission
ers have had no previous experience
in explaining to Congressional COM
mittees the necessity for various
items of expenditure and Col.
Kutz's testimony necessarily must
be confined to construction and
technical subjects, it was antici-
pated by members of the committee
that the hearings would be slow
and long drawn out.
They were surprised, however, at
the quickness with which the new
Commissioners grasped the situa-
tion and were able to answer a
rapid fre Of questions without a
practical knowledge based on past
experience. Chairman Davis ex-
poets to continue work on the Dis
trict bill until it is concluded.
