Washington ID. c.. Nov. 2i.-Al;ho
both the British and the japanese are
stiii putting forth propaganda on be-
half of a renewal of the Anglo-Jap-
anese Alliance, it seems to be now the
general opinion that It will not be
renewed and that its termination Wlii
be Il great factor in establishing peace
on a sound basis in the Far East.
That the Japanese want this alliance
and that 1t would be an advantage TO
them In the future as IL has been IN
the past is obvious. Japan's career OF
economic and military imperiahsm'
which has carried her into Sibcria.
Mapchuria and China. has been made
possible largely by this British sup
port II this alliance were continued
on the same terms. Japans Imperial
isuc career could continue and the
miiitnristic forces in that country
would be strengthened. II tho alliance
is genuinely rcnounced by Great
Britain and Great Britain is genuine
ly in accord with tho United States In
Asiatic policy, Japans imperialistic
ambitions will be most effectively
| against which she cannot possibly
hope to prevail. The liberal forces in
Japan will he strengthened.
This curbing OF Japan's militaristic
career therefore stands out with in-
creasing clearncss as the great OBJ
ment will be n long step toward inter-
national peace. IN shc opinion OF the
best-informed observers. provided II
can be done without alternating all
Japanese confidence in tho western
powers. Japan has survived as ma
tion solely by reason of her military
and naval strength. She has sccn every
| other Asiatic nation exploited and
robbed OF autonomy and integrity by

big stick Is based on logic and eN-
pcrience. That IL why even tn" liberal
/ forces in Japan rally behind the gov
crnmcnt immediately when an cmere-
ency arises. Japan must be convinced
| therefore. not only that her present
course in China. Manchuria and ST.
IBERIA must be abandoned. but also that
her integrity and autonomy and her

 Make Big Raise

Havana, July 19.-Cuban sugar dealers and manufacturers wish to raise s50,000.000 in the United states 10 carry the industry through the coming season. with only incidental government aid. 1t was learned to- day by Gen. Rafael Montalvo, who headed a delegation representing the sugar industry at conference with President Zayas.
 There was no desire. according to General Montalvo, to have the gov ernment pledge any of it's revenue as guarantee for loan to save the industry, but simply that govern ment act as intermediary. He esti- mated that the coming crop would be 50 per cent less than the last.
 Another commission representing leading industrial, commercial and agricultural organizations also con ferred with the President on the necessity of initiating negotiations at Washington to facilitate the sale of Cuban products in American mar kets and to bring about a revision Of the reciprocity treaty, 1t was announced that committee would be named tomorrow to proceed immed ately to Washington and that the Cuban minister had been directed to act as the governments represents tive in all negotiations entered into by this body.

------------.os---------- COMMONS TO HAVE
 A SAY ON DISARMAMENT
By Associated Press

London, July 19.-The pre- miers of the ver-seas dominions met today for the first time since Presi- dent Hardings invitation to con ference at Washington and dis cussed the question of dominion rep resentation at such a conference. So far as disarmament is concerned, the dominions are willing to allow the imperial government to decide what should be done, but Australia and New Zealand especially wish to have voice in any decisions regarding the future of the Pacific.
 Canada is not so much concerned as her policy, 1t is pointed out, is practically identical with that of the United States.
 President Harding has been i'm formed of the desire of the dominion premiers that advantage be taken of their presence in London to sub feet the Pacific question at least to a preliminary exception here, accord- ing to the London Times. The pre- miers hope to be in position at their meeting Wednesday, adds the Times ito take a definite step for ward in this matter with the con- currence of the United States"

His battle against the league leading Chickasaws at Rick wood last Saturday showed that he was in the best form possible, and much of the hope of the locals cop ping the coming series from the Memphians rests in the work of "Whitey," who will probably pitch one game in the double-header Fri day.
 Whitehill got a slow start this year on account of trouble with his arm, but is now in shape to deliver his best when called upon.

The statement said the Steel Corporation. u rough it's subsidiaries, was the largest producer of coal In West Vir- ginia, employing more men than any operator in the region adjacent to Minso county, and was planning, in conjunction with the Norfolk and Western railroad to extend opera tions in the Mngo field.

LEADING RATTLEsNAKE HUNTEr

Boyden R. Sparkes, in Leslie's.
 When one has tramped and camped in various portions of the United States. including California, Texas and Florida, without ever having. seen live rattlesnake outside of a cage 1t is startling to discover that the dreaded ophidians have a frontier within sight of Manhattan.
 From the tower of the Woolworth building on a clear day the rock scar on the face of Mt. Crotalus, in the Ramapo range, may be identified with the aid of binoculars. That gray ledge near the summit contains the den, the winter home, of every rattler that during the summer hunts it's prey and avoids its enemies on the green slopes and the farms that en- croach upon the mountains base.
 "Crotalus" is merely an alias pro- vided for this particular overgrown bill by pr. Raymond l.. Ditmars, curator of reptiles at the New York Geological park.
 It Is Ditmars' task to replace the snakes that succumb each year to the nibbllng of cockroaches and lesser vermin In the reptile house cages, Therefore. he is chary of revealing the hibernating places of these pois- onous creatures, lest they be visited by farmers and destroyed with dyna- mite.
