Christian Idea as to the Sacred
ness Of Life.

Suicide, which has always been
prevalent In Japan, is, according to
the japanese press. even more rife
than ever since the financial crisis In
the Land of the Rising Sun, says the
Literary Digest in recent issue. The
Osaka Mainichi, which sees peril to
the nation in the prevalence Of self
slaughter, Acknowledges the excel
lences Of the Christian view that sui
eide. instead Of being merely an apol-
ogy for failure, is crime. Many sui
cides in Japan are due to the fact that
the Japanese have less attachment
to life than foreigners" and also to
the traditions Of feudal times when
they belittled life.
The Osaka Mainichi says further:
Death-much more suicide-means
evasion Of responsibility and
the notion that those who commit sui
eide have the keenest sense Of respon-
sibilityl Is wrong. Suicide is the en-
bodiment of egoism and irresponsibili-
ty. One Of the strong points Of the
Christian people is their conviction
that to- kill ones self is as criminal
as to kill others"

CHESS COMES EASY TO HIM
Youthful Prodigy Declares There 10
Nothing Wonderful About His
Mastership Of Game.

Chess Is the easiest game Ia the
world to me. During theslong duh
days Of the war my father used to
play all the time with his friends. At
FIRST I did not understand what the
chessmen were for, and wondered
why father would sit for hours and
gaze at the board with its funny-look-
ing pieces. One day when l did not
want to go out and play l watched
him play his game. I became inter.
ested. / bothered my father so with
questions that he chased Sne out OF the
game as soon as he was through
with his friend. I waited eagerly for
him to get through. He played a
practice game with me, and I under
stood every move after that. The
next game we played, ! beat my father,
who is a very good chess player.
There is nothing wonderful about my
way of playing the game. My secre-
tary, Mr.. Azenberg, says that 1t
comes from reincarnation. A baby
is born with good brains, and they ex-
plain it that way. They say that his
ancestors or some spirits have given
this power to him because so much
ability In one person must have taken
q long time to develop. When play
chess can plan my moves six or sew
en- moves ahead, and most players
can only go three moves ahead of the
game. / can't help 1t at all. ] was
born. that way. like to play with
poor players. At West Point, where
/ beat 10 games and drew one, there
were only nine good players; the 9TH
ers had no business trying to play
me at all.
have played lots Of fine players In
chess. During the war beat the
German governor at Warsaw, and he
was an old man and fine player.
Then drew a game with Rubenstein,
the Russian champion, and also drew
with Griffin in a blindfolded game In
England. / have not played Lasker
yet. but one Of the 81 / beat in Paris
says he drew game with Lasker, and
another said he beat Capablanca. In
America, my hardest game so far has

years old, at West Pofnt.-Samuel
