the entire fund this year.
The specifications for the new

In That State.

Japan is wonderful nation in a
very great many ways. II has accom-.
plished marvels, II has leaped forward
at almost single bound into front
place among the world powers, but
we are convinced that the greatest
thing about Japan Is Its women.
All women are. of course, charming.
but our observation is that the women
OF Japan are especially and particu-
larry so. We see much of them here
In California. and we have an oppor-
tunity to judge.
To begin with. the majority of them
are very pretty, and all of them have
u certain grace that can come only
from centuries Of gentleness and good
breeding. They have soft voices.
There Is an irresistible appeal in their
manners.
II Is often commented that the men
OF Japan have adapted themselves to
Western ways with an incredible ease
But they have not equaled their wom-
EN- In the performance Of this difficult
self To Occidental customs and habits
In many social functions as well as
In public. numerous japanese women

The grace OF their bearing and the
charm OF their manners have deeply
impressed all with whom TREY have
come In contact. Japan is nation
that had no music, yet the most popu.
lar singer on the operate stage today
Is Japanese woman. And this Is
only an instance OF their conqueSts.
We do not think there is any rea-
son to worry about what Japan will
or will not do In the world. Any ma
ton that can produce such women as
that nation produces will not only
succeed, but will endure.-LOs Angeles

Bob Martin Seeking
 Go With Carpenter
A. E. F. Champion Thinks He Can Beat Frenchman and Purse of $7O,OOO Has Been Offered By Colorado
 Promotor--Martin Coming Along Rapidly

New York, Jan. 17-From way off in Pueblo, Colorado, comes an epistle from Jimmy Bronson, who is manag- ing Bob" Martin, the A. E. F. and Inter-Allted heavyweight champion. Bronson simply wants us to know that despite all the talk of four and five hundreds of thousands for Dempsey and Carpenter battle there is bona ide offer of s75,000 for Car pentier to fight Martin. Then he adds that the American Legion proposes to offer a championship belt to the | winner.
 1 It is hardly possible that the French | idol will consider this ocer at the l present moment. Still. there Is a, for l 1orn hope that this combat with Dempsey may fall through. If such 1 should be the case he may listen to this somewhat small enticement. No matter how the situation de- l velops, Bronson is going along shov- ing Martin slowly up the ladder ot l fame. That A. E. F. title is bound l to be an attraction, especially with the boys that wore the khaki. 1 While Martin hasn't announced his intention to trek eastward, that event | will happen sooner or later. There isn't the slightest doubt that his debut here would be greatly attended. fol everybody with a drop of real sport ing blood would love to see the cham
 pion of the Allied armies-North ana
 South. Billy Roche, who managed
 the boxing activities of the K. of c
 in France, has a lot of respect fo1
 Martin, for 1t was under his manage ment that Martin won his glitterint
 title.
 Roche Is now directing the hopes O another A. E. F. champion - Gen
 Tunney. Gene won the light heavy
 weight crown of the Allied armies ant
 in his few appearances showed trace l of real ability.

ONCE WEALTHY
 TURF FOLLOWER;
 DIES WATCKMAN

New York, Jan. 17-From being the owner of Gen. Monroe, winner of the first Suburban Handicap. to being 8 watchman at the car barns of the Yonkers City Railroad was the fife of Edward J. McElmeel-and now he is dead.
 He died yesterday at the age of 65 at his home, 143 RiverdaIe avenue, Yonkers, and is survived by three children.
 Gen. Monroe won other turf classics including the Saratoga Cup twice, but he earned his greatest fame as a six year-old in 1884, when he beat War Eagle and Jack of Hearts among others in the first Suburban Handicap, race that has now grown to be one of the most coveted fixtures in the racing world.
 MT. McElmeel refused an offer of S32, 300 for the horse, made by Fox Hall Keene, and the next year Gen Monroe fell and broke his shoulder in a race at Brighton Beach and had to Se shot.
 From that moment. the fortunes of his owner changed, and a series of financial reverses brought him to the position he held when he died.
