PEKING, November 17.-Lord North
cliffe, the British publisher now on a
tour of the orient. in an address be-
fore the Anglo-American Association
here today declared. -, 49,.
IF the United States is ever men
aced in the far east. if at any time
her magnificent work in the Philip
pines is disturbed, is there any reason
why Singapore should not be avail
able for her fleets? Great Britain and
America must hang together in the
far east, on sometime or other they
may be hanged separately"
Lord Northcliffe declared that never
in history had Anglo-American friend
ship been more necessary. He said
America, Canada and. thousands OF
Australians were much concerned
over the pro1ongation of the Anglo
Japanese alliance. which had bene-
fited Japan beyond her widest
dreams.
He continued:
Four Govern Japan.
Japan at present is in much the
same posi- tion as Germany before the
war. Nominally a democracy. she is
absolutely governed by four men
whose intentions might be Judged by
examining the constantly changing
map of the far east and the immense
expansion Of Japanese armament.
THAT the Japanese military party
is hostile toward the United States
might be gathered from their many
publications. which obviously are ap-
proved by the rulers of Japan. But
Just as we took little notice of Bern
hardi before the war, 80 the .Ameri- :
cans aer not worrying about such
books as If Japan and America Fight,
by the famous soldier, Gen. Sato. or
Shall Japan and America Fight? by
Seramoto, or a dozen other such pub
lications. These works show q Ia
mentable ignorance of the United
States, of her economic power, of her
feet and of her capacity for raising
armies.
Australians Detest Alliance.
Moreover. they even display abso-
Lutte ignorance of the state of feeling
throughout Australia. The masses of
the Australians detest the alliance as
heartily as the Canadians. These
Japanese war books, which accurate
ly represent the. military party of
Japan, constantly twit the United
far east They seem to regard Pearl
harbor a. the nearest important sea
station.
when the Americans came to our
assistance in 1917 there were certain
bases in southwestern Ireland to
which we gladly invited thern," added
Lord Nordcliffe, who continued with
the suggestion of the availability of
Singapore, anad concluded:
with tho Irish question settled I
believe a cordial Anglo-American
handshake will result" --.s,s 49,

Special Agents in All Big Cities

Washington. Feb. 26.-Two hundred

of Immigration Caminetti warned to-

ers.
1.-The immigration officials and the
state department agents. abroad are
now constantly on the alert against
the migration of procurers, women of
undesirable character and criminals
to the United States,'' said Caminetti.
But hundreds of persons of low
moral character succeed every year in
obtaining vises for their passports in
Europe and try to land in New York
and other big cities of the United
States. So far. the immigration serv-
ice has succeeded in turning most of
these back at the ports of debarka-
ton. But few few slip past.
1.-The most difficult thing is round
otherwise, have obtained entry into
the country" said Caminetti. For
this purpose the immigration service
should have a group of trained inves-
tigators who could check up on all
suspected persons for many months
after their entry.
MANY who are suspected now must
be allowed to enter because they seem
to possess all the necessary qualifica-
tions. Just now this follow up work
must be done by the regular immigra-
ton officials in the big cities whose
duties already are very complex and
heavy. They are unable to give to any
one class of work the time and con-
sideration it should receive

lire, in turn, performs its annual
northward march at regular pace
which at this time averages 10 miles

its heels. and those feathered migrants
which act as official pacemakers for
the lines, are already with us.
Most everyone has seen the robins.

Migratory statistics are based on the
habits of adult birds. Little or moth

of the young of the. previous years
nestings Perhaps Topeka's robins
may lend a clue.
Among the young raised here In
1920 were several whose coloration de-
parted considerably from the ordi-
nary color scheme of the robin. The
tail feathers in some three or four in
dividuals noted were predon1nately
white. The albino tendency even ex-
tended to the body. These birds are
with us again and have been noticed
on two occasions this past week.
Whether or not they will remain here
is a question, but inasmuch as the
spring migration is q huge game of
leapfrog, it is probable these birds will
stay.
And what does this movement of
the birds mean? Again we repeat
that spring stands just outside the
southern gate of the city and ID is time
to clean the rubbish from the yard and
plan the garden. But don't forget the
feathered harbingers of the years most

some scattered grain. and a friendly

WILSON DEFIES THE UNIONS
Gives Approval to r. r. Bill Labor
Chiefs Demanded He Veto.

Washington, Feb. 26.-President
Wilson today approved the Winslow
bill allowing immediate payment to
railroads OF part of the funds due
them under the guarantee clause of
the -Cummins act.
The bill was passed by congress be-
cause of treasury ruling that the roads
could not get the funds until q final
accounting had been had with the
government. Railroad officials said
this might take several years and that
they needed money Immediately.
Labor leaders in session here had
asked the president to veto the Wins
low bill. declaring it would result in
the railroads getting vastly more than
was due them. Both the treasury and
interstate commerce commission, how
ever, approved the. bill, it was stated.
The amount which the railroads will
finally collect has been estimated at
about 100000, 900. They will not get
all this immediately

Kathleen Foley Died AS a
Result of an Involuntary
Dream Accident Page
industrial Economist of Los Angeles Who Has Studied
Psychic Suggestion, Offers Solution of Topeka
Death Mystery.

death. it can be attributed to nothing
else than psychic phenomena.
Precedent in Case.
Death thru involuntary psychic
suggestion is not without precedent.
One of the commonest known in
stances occurred but a few years ago
during the initiation of a man into a
fraternal organization. In the course
of the ceremonies the novitiate was
charged with some mythical offense
and sentenced to death by decapita-
ton. In grewsome and impressive
procedure. escorted by black-robed
figures, he was brought into the ex-
ecution room, beheld the executioner,
red robed and bearing the sanguinary
ak, was forced to kneel with his head
on the block and then, at a spoken
word the executioner raised his ak
and brought it down almost to the
neck of the victim, while at the same
time another individual SLAPPED a cold.
wet towel down on his neck. In this
instance the suggestion was too much
for the victim who expired with his
head on the block.
Again to the student in the fields
of psychic research, it is recognized
that there is no known instance where
in an individual who dreams of falling
. terrific distances ever reaches the end
of the dream, the conclusion of the
fall where, logically, he would crash
at its end. The argument advanced
presumes that where the dreamer
dreams the conclusion of his fall the
shock kills him. While this is mega :
tive argument the fact remains that
there is no known instance recorded of
any one reaching the end of a dream,
fall.
OF Nervous Temperament.
In the instance of kathleen Foley
we have a woman of highly nervous
temperament, easily subject to psychic
suggestion and addicted to extraordi-
narily vivid dreams. Previously she
7, had dreamed of an assault, also in her
| home. dream so vivid and so impress
| sive that its impression upon her was
of fact incident" rather than OF
dream Incident. And so. on the
night when she staggered, gasping and
| choking, into her mothers room and
| insisted that she had been assaulted
and poisoned. there can be little doubt
but that she had just awakened from
a dream of such incident, a dream sc
vivid. SO realistic that it left its i'm
press upon her subconsciousness as ar
| incident of actual fact. an impress sc
vital, SO conclusive that the pathologi-
| cal reaction to the psychic suggestion
was the precise symptomatic reaction
to the poison her subconscious intelli-
gence insisted had been forced upor
| her. Her subsequent death was tbs
logical conclusion of the psychic sug
gestion even as it was of the patho-
logical condition created by psychic
suggestion.

But seven were caught. Rescue teams
from all parts of the state rushed here
and tried in vain TO reach the men.
All thru the night they worked, but
the fire gained headway. They gave
up hope. The men couldn't be alive
in that flaming inferno. So with tears
in their eyes they sealed the shaft to
keep out the oxygen and put out the
fire The last hope seemed gone.
VIII Know by Monday.
Then from St. Louis came the order
of officials of the company to drill and
hope sprang up anew. FeverishIy the
engineers went to work. The driIlers
moved up their machinery and hope
sprang again into the heart of the
mems families
Tomorrow, maybe, but probably
Monday the steel point will drill into
the gallery where the men are be-
Heved to be-wf1ere possibly they have
succeeded in erecting some kind of q
wall to keep out the flames.
