| Inc japanese are intelligent, warlike
and industrious. They are crowded
| at home and getting more crowded.
They are living In cramped condi'
| tions on a meager diet. Naturally.
they are seeking to improve their con-
dition by emigration, penetration, col
onization and conquest. That's why
they are In California, Hawaii, Siberia
Korea and Shantung and would IKE
to be In Canada, Australia and New
Zealand. Most nations fight only when
war is thrust upon them. Japan con-
siders war simply n policy OF stare
which conditions may or may not
make expedient
zap, of course, has a past. The
German-owned island north OF the
equator, turned over to japan by the
mandate, include the Marianne or La
drone. the Marshall and the Caroline
groups from north to south; they form
sort of strategic semi-circle around
the Pbr .ppines. The Carolines, OF
which zap Is one, number 700 Islands,
most of which are small atolls. Their
total area Is about $50 square miles.
The principal islands are Babel
thouap, 106 square miles and 10000
population; Ponape. 1874 and 1000;
zap, 20 and 2,750; Ruk, so and 12,OOo;
Kusaic, As and 400.
The Carollnes were discovered In
/ 1927 by Diego da Rocha, Portuguese,
who named them the Sequieras. In
1856 Admiral Francesca Lazeano gave
them their present name in honor of
his king, Charles II of Spain.
David O'Keefe of Savannah, Ga,
recalled the existence of the Carolines
90 the civilized world In 1878. He was
shipwrecked and cast up on Ynp.
Thereupon he married a native woman
and proclaimed himself king of zap.
Spain ousted this self-proclaimed king
Of zap.
About this time Germany cast covet-
GUS eyes on the Carolines, recognizing
their strategic position as to Japan,
China, the Philippines and the Dutch
East Indies. So the German gunboat
[ltis holsted the German flag IN zap
and other islands In 1885. Spain pro-
tested. The Pope was named arbitra-
tor and upheld SPANS claim, granting
Germany important trading rights
Fourteen years later, after the Span
ish-Amerlcan war, Spain sold the Caro-
lines and Ladrone islands to Germany
for $4,000 900. Guam was excepted, as
II had come into the possession Of
the United States In 1898.
zap next attracted attention In
1914, when British cruisers destroyed
the wireless station and cut the Gu
bles. A month or 50 later japanese
fleet took possession. This was sur
prise, as Great Britain had officially
announced that Japan's activities In
the war would not extend beyond the
China sea. In answer TO an inquiry,
japan assured Secretary OF State
Bryan that the occupation was for
military purposes only and would not
be permanent.
zap, together with the other Caro-
line islands, is Of considerable mill
tory Importance. 1t lies at the gate of
the Orient. Americas route TO the
Philippines runs by way OF Hawaii
Guam, zap and Manila, AS a Jnpa-
nese naval base, II would be a menace
both to Guam and the Philippines.

AS to Jap and scrap-that is story
yet to be told
Before the World war, you see. the
United States enjoyed direct cable
communication with China by way of
zap, then German possession. Dur
ing the war Japan diverted the cable
routes with the result that American
business and press dispatches must
now be sent by way of Manila.
On November 9, 1920, the United

Yet in December, 1920, the council

His argument Is that the Ameri-

THE QUIET ONES

Some people quietly proceed. and
take no part in fuss or broil; they
Go their stunts with grace and speed,
and make no rackets as they toll Re-
firing gents, they are not sharks for
any pomp Or circumstance; they do
not rise to make remarks whenever
they see half a chance. They do not
ask Us for Our votes and argue in the
busy marts and if perchance they
lose their goats they bear their sorrow
in their hearts. And in this world of
endless noise. where human fivvers
rant and roar, we learn to love the
quiet boys who smoothly do the use
full chore. They jog along their even
groove, and draw good pay and earn
it all; and real chaste volumes to
improve their minds when evening
shadows fall. They'll be on time, as
sure as fate, on time for work when
morning comes they'll have no stories
to relate of high adventures in the
slums. All through the years they
work, serene. these quiet. self-effacing
lads: and this old world is worse,

Honoring the Children

The an-day outing of the public school chill
dren, the entertainment of the Wernle orphans
by the Elks, the annual picnic of st. Andrew
church, and other picnics to be arranged by
churches supporting parochial schools, combine
to give virtually every child in Richmond a day
of pleasure.
1t is wholesome to cultivate this spirit. Euro
pean countries are far ahead of US in conducting
outings for their children. Public outings and
picnics arranged for limited number Of children
are common occurrences there, while they are the
exception here.
We are too prone to mask and hide our senti-
mental nature. Most of us refrain from an exhi-
bition of buoyant joy. This has been character
stic of the American nature, but it seems that
we are beginning to change little in this re-
spect.
Participation in affairs arranged for children
will soon break down our reserve and teach us to
enter freely into their games, much to our own
benefit and improvement.
And not the least to benefit are the children.
No one who saw them marching along Main
street yesterday regretted that the school
authorities had arranged the outing Every

were going to the park for day of wholesome
pleasure.

Petty Thefts in Glen Miller Park

A few thoughtless persons believe that they
may help themselves to the flowers, ferns and
shrubbery in Glen Miller park. They forget that
if every person helped himself to what he wanted
the park would soon be ruined.
Plants are set out in the park to beautify it,
and to make it attractive for the whole commun-
ity. A flower carelessly plucked, fern removed
here and there shrub taken without permits
sion, may seem to be a small thing but multi
piled by scores and hundreds, it will destroy the
beauty of the park.
Authorities are asking citizens to cooperate
with them on this point. They believe that the
public will act favorably the suggestion and
assist in maintaining the park.
