n. Pooley. Published ~ Dola. AleaI
II JAPAN'S FOREIGN POLICIES.
an American edition OF which has
been issued by Dodd, Mead & Co,
A NJ. Pooley, formerly Reuters CORE
spondent in Japan, exhibits a pro
nounced anti-Japancse bias. An earlier
work by the same author. Japan at the
Cross Roads. WAS not allowed to be cir
culated in Japan.
In Mr.. Poo!ey's view Japan's foreign
policy is relentlessly nationalistic and
imperialistic, aiming at domination of
China and the Far East. Nippon, ne
says. is the Germany OF the Pacific.
Though an Englishman. he deplores the
British-Japanese alliance and declares
hat the japanese are at heart anti
British.
Mr.. Pooley is ardently pro-Chinesc.
He believes that America and the Euro
ean powers alone can preserve China's
integrity and uphold the open door
Obey. To the Japanese, Of course, It
ems strange that a European should
ticize Japan's desire to get a politi-
and economical foothold in China,
&c Japanese policy is only modelled on
earlier Far Eastern policy Of Great
ritain, France, Russia and Germany.
nave q superior claim in the matter Of
exploiting China, since they are China's
gearest ncighbor and have a close kin
ship with the Chinese in language, race
and culture.
Japan wants TO set up Il Japanese
Monroe Doctrine in the East, and has
rood precedents for such an aspiration.
1t is of little use for European nations,
II for America, to challenge that policy
on moral or sentimental grounds. The
issue is one of Rcalpolitik. 1t boils
down to this: Is it expedient for Eu-
rope and the United States to allow
Japan to create q hegemony over east
ern Asia?
Mr.. Pooley goes to the root Of ths
difficulties between Japan and tn,
United States. He says that the disputes
about immigration, naturalization and
land ownership are trivial. Japan *,
cludes foreign immigrants, practically
prohibits naturalization and makes alien
ownership Of land extremely difficult
She has no justification for complaint
of American treatment Of Japanese
nationals in this respect, except that We
give other foreigners privileges which
are denied to her subjects.
THE real problem says the author
is whether or not the Japanese are
to become masters of the Pacific and the
dominators of Oriental politics. Every
other question which has arisen between
the States and Japan from 1906 to the
present time is, in fact, a local and sub
sidiary one
The author thinks the United States
is right in refusing naturalization to
japanese, because they are not assimila-
bic. They would retain their old ale
glance, he says. Prince Katsura ad-
mitted in 1912:
Japanese who go abroad remain
japanese subjects and no form of natu-
ralization would alter them"
Mr.. Pooley bitterly denounces ia

THEp present widespread interest
in psychic phenomena is n
crest of q wave that started to
move about Two decades sgo. During
the years from 1905 TO 1910 there were
published many books and magazine
articles that dealt with spirituslism,
spiritism snd the manifestation OF
strange and apparently uncharted psy-
chical forces.
The war, with its tremendous death
roll, gave the recedinc wave a new
impetus that eliminated in 4 record
height IN definite statements TO the
press, and in pamphlets and in books,

and lesser fry in the psychic swarm.
The student of the literature of the
new science. or OF an old set OF semi
mystical theories reYamped, perceives
with satisfaction a trend toward q
scientific, critical study and appraisal
sf all recorded psychic phenomena OF
to-day.

Of spiritism in its broad scope and
content, there are visible pin-points
of vivid light, d~iminutive apertures in
the black veil between the worlds of

For the Unbellever

When the Archbishop of Canterbury.
at the recent Lambeth Conference Of
the Anglican clergy, recommended W.
Whately Smiths The Foundations Of
S~piritualism (Dutton) as q reliable
textbook on the spiritualistic theory.
ne picked the one modern book that
can be read with satisfaction bv an un-
believer. The writer Of this review is
an agnostlc in his attitude toward ev-
erything that savors Of s%piritualism.
We went through this cautious little
book with pleasure. It states the case,
pro and con, succinctly and with clar-
ity. Mr.. Smith has winnowed out a
few cases Of significant phenomena
from a huge bin of chaf. He admits.
finally, that there rave been a dozen or
so perfectly authenticated episodes in
the maze of incidents recorded BIZ spirit
ualists and experinenters that battle all
efforts to explain them away as mere
freaks of telepathy or as combinations of
chance in human mental activities. They
seem to Indicate the existence Of life
alteT deaJh, a survival that does not con-
note immortality. Spiritualism asa SCI
ence or as a religion, have it as you will,
produces, through these few circum-
s~tantial proofs, if such they be, q spc-
cies Of view into the life TO come. Mr..
Smith gives a table Of six plausible
conditions Of that life, as predicated
in these so-called revelations. Here
are two Of them: "a man is the same
five minutes after death as he was five
minutes before it, except that no has
added one more item to his stock Of

4 Standard Work

One of the standard works on &C
cultism is Isabella Ingaiese's Occult
Philosophy tDodd. Mead & Coz, first
published in 1908 and now reissued in
an amended and enlarged form. Where
many treatiscs OF this naturo arc tire
some in their Wandcrings through thin
atmosphere Of the intangible and prob
lcmatical, this book goes directly TO a
presentation Of the arguments for re-
Incarnation and the achievement Of
perfection through merging Of the self
in the containing Self Of the Universe.
No two straight-thinhjng persons arc
likely to arrive AZ similar conclusions
in their study Of occult phenomena and
theses, bat few sincere gropers for
Truth Will deny the benefit derived
from al effort TO live in harmony With
the avs established through an obcdi-
encc to the occultist's statement Of the
relations Of seN and Of parenthood.

Many Records Given
And 20, III this authoritative book
VIC have record after record Of tho
formation, apparently out Of nothing,
or from cffluvla created IN and freed
from the body of the medium, Of sub
stances that mimic fabrics of mans
handlwork and time snd again bear
the contours of human forms and
faces. OF course, such a history IS
enthrallingly interesting in places, al
though tedious in its general longevity
and the prolixity Of its record. The
book, as a total, is monumental. stands
at the dividing line between fact and
phantasm in psychic research, cannot
be overlooked or lodged as fantastic.
We wish to criticize one conclusion
arrived st by the author and his co.
operators. In the experiences with
Eva { flnly faces were seen in close
JuXtaposltion to the medium, and they
we're caught by the camera. The sup
ported theory outlined in this book is
that the medium, while in q natural
mental state, looked over certain
magazines and had photographs Of the
King Of Bulgaria., ex-President Pom
care, President Wilson and other no.
tables caught on the sensitive plate of
her mind, later to be projected in tele-
plasmic form into the free air Of
human observation and captured by the
camera. That these appearances we're
motivated by discarnate spirits there
is not all iota of proof, nor is it
claimed that they were. They we're
manifestations of a force not yet ap-
pretended ever in its fringes of
power. What we wish to say in way
of criticism is this: The photographs,
to our mind, do not reveal likenesses
OF the men named sufficiently strong
enough TO warrant the claims advanced.
The whole matter is astounding With
out the dragging in Of kings and presi-
dents.

Breaking Into Fiction

The literature of psychic phenomena
IN the division of fiction is still small
IN bulk. especially as to stories that.
are handed to US as accounts of &C
tual happenings witnessed or felt bv
human beings. A little book that
movers near to being a classic in its
field is Sydney Dickinson's True Tales
Of The Weird (Dufield). The opening
story in this set OF four brief ones
and one long one is the deservedly
famous and really beautiful "a Mys-
terry Of Two ~ContiNents,' the facts of
which have been so stanchly vouchcd
for that one hesitates to question. We
advise all who are to any degree in
terested in the fiction or the reality Of
psychic phenomena to get this book
and read slowly and thoughtfully the
record Of the %violets and daisylike
flowers that %journeyed mysteriously
from Italy to Massachusetts. We take
refuge In our comfortable agnosticism
when confronted by affairs and mat
tcrs Of the kind related in True Tales
Of the Weird. These things may be,
re say, but we don't know why or
how.
We have maintained that Che essen
tial element Of psychic revelation, the
thrill of the abnormal and ~incxplica-
Bile, is best staged III fiction in the
short story. That horrible book, Ora
cula, would be far more chilling il con-
denscd and given d rapid cresccndo.
Proofs Of our contcntion are found in

chic Stories C~Cro~oll). q collection of

ASSOCIATED CHARITIES
ORGANIZED IN DAWSON
OFFICERS ELECTED AND COM
MITTEES OINTED AT
MEETING SUNDAY.

A fair crowd met at the Palace
theatre Sunday afternoon to consider
the organization of associated chart
ties for Dawson. A good deal of in
tereSt and enthusiasm was shown by
all present. Rev. Grille acted as chair
man. Rev. S. F. Lowe stated the OBJ
jeCt of the meeting and on motion
proceeded to the organization of the
United Charity Association Of Dawson.
Before putting the question the chair
man called for discussion of the mo-
ton, and a number of interesting talks
were made by representative citizens.
Mr.. Grille spoke from the ministerial
viewpoint, followed by Judge J. G..
Parks, Mr. ]. c. Hollingsworth, Rev
Reese Griffin and Mr.. H. A. Petty.
A nominating committee was appoint
ed to propose officers, and reported
the names of ]. c. Hollingsworth,
A. J. Hill and c. A. Wall as executive
committee; B. c. Perry treasurer and
Mrs. Dan Finn secretary. = 1t was
recommended that a committee be ap-
bers.
The Boy Scouts patrol did their
part in distributing and collecting
lIlClllDCt Slllp Ndl Us. NCIAly -llIlIG lllClll-
bers were enlisted at this meeting.
Hundreds more are needed, and are
urged to help in making the organiza-
ton success.
Rev. S. F. Lowe, as chairman of
the committee on arrangements, rem
dered valuable service, and Contribut-
ed much to the interest and success
OF the movement. He and Judge ].
q. Parks were named as a committee
to draft a constitution and bylaws
for the government OF the association.
Preceding the business of the hour
the Jennings quartet and a large choir
rendered sacred songs and an anthem.
These popular musicians were enthu-
siastically received and very gracious
ly responded to the repeated enCores.
Mr.. Louis Petty gave an excellent
reading, The Uncrowned Queen OF
America, which was both appropriate
and appreciated.
1t is thought there will be little
trouble in getting almost every citi-
zen OF Dawson to become a member
OF the Associated Charities when the
purpose of the organization is fully
understood. This public movement IS
not intended in any way to interfere
with private charities that is a part
OF the life OF many individuals, but
is to safeguard the public against inn
posters, and at the same time have
always on hand fund to aid all wor-
thy cases OF need without embarraSS-
ment to the unfortunate.
