In the matter of submarines I had to consult other naval experts than the "Jiji' authority who, for some reason (perhaps by request, since the "Jiji" man is supposed to rank very high with Japanese naval officials), put a question mark where the fig ures should have gone.
 It Is understood, however, that Japan expects to build about 14 sub marines a year, which, allowing for retirements on account of age, would give approximately the above result.
 Comparing Strength
 An analysis of the above figures will show that at present Japan has one less major ship, that is, one less battleship, than the United States, two more light cruisers, 220 less de- stroyers and II less submarines.
 By the end of 1923, when the United States will reach her peak (al- ways providing she stops building) Japan will have two less major ships, three more light cruisers, 231 less de- stroyers and about A less subs"
 In 1927-unless America creates a new program-Japan will be nearly even with the United States with two less dreadnaughts, 13 more light cruisers, 47 less destroyerS and 32 more submarines
 Experts would can this "defen- sive fleet,' which is what the Japa- nese themselves call it. All hands here, militarists and anti-militarists, repudidate the suggestion of naval race for the supremacy of the Pacific. Japan has her eyes on Asia, and those whose slumbers have been troubled by nightmares, in which the little brown men of Emperor Yoshi- hito were seen capturing Washing ton, Oregon and California, may as well sleep tight.
 The clash, if a clash comes, will be 1 in the Far East Hence Japan's en- phasis on light cruisers and subma- rineS

and they insist on holding to the
truth in the face Of the whole
worlds ridicule. That makes
them dangerous and undesirable
citizens in the eyes Of the clergy
ridden press. So you will never
see or hear anything good said
about the Adventists or the Rus

And yet these two outcast
groups are about the only people
who do have the truth on these
subjects. Strange how unpopular
the truth is in this so-called

DID YOU EVER THINK ANY?

There are so many things that
need to be discussed that it is
impossible for The Fool-Killer to
talk about them all in one issue.
So it has to sorter take them
up turn about, like going to mill.
You may have noticed that some
issues deal mainly with politics,
while others are devoted chiefly
to theological questions.
The main object Of this paper
when it was started eleven years
ago was to kick up it's heels and
act the fool to make, folks laugh.
But you see a good many things
have happened since that, and
now it's purposei is to make people
think and reason for themselves
about the important problems of
life. OF course if I happen to
drop in something sorter funny
you may laugh at it all you like,
but you mustn't lose sight of
my main purpose, which is to
make you THINK.
Now hunt up all the people
you know that need something
of this sort and get them to sub
scribe.

the body dies?
In other words. have animals

EUROPE'S DEBTS.

In an article entitled The
Debts of the Allies" The New
Republic of June 9Th, discussed
the ten billion dollars that the
Allies owe to the United States,
and says:
The ability of the Allies to pay
either interest or principal is prac-
tically dependent on the collec~
ton of the German indemnity"
That is a poor come-off.
The Allies boast of having
won the war.
They boast Of having defeated
Germany.
But still they claim that Ger
many is able to pay a big indem-
ity, while they the victors-are
not able to pay anything.
Germany, defeated and humiI-
lated, is supposed to go to work
and PRODUCE something to
pay with.
But the victorious Allies are
not capable Of PRODUCING
anything at all. The only chance
for them to pay THEIR debts is
to squeeze the money out of
Germany and pass it on.
If [ was in the Allies place I
would be ashamed to admit that
my victory had left me less able
to pay my debts than Germany's
defeat left her:
According to that, it pays to be
defeated.
What did the Allies win, any,
how?
Bankruptcy?
It looks like it.

TAKE YOUR ORDERS.


1t seems sorter curious when
you stop to think about what
folks are allowed to believe in
this country.
You know there is an old joke
which says this is a free country
and we can believe what we
please. But nobody takes that
seriously any more. We know it
is not true. If it ever was true
that time has passed.
Theologicaliy speaking, people
are permitted to believe what the
orthodox preachers tell them to
believe that and nothing else.
II ever a man dares to hold some
other religious view he is a dan
gerous hereto and must be
frowned upon and silenced if
possible.
You can only have religious
liberty under certain conditions
and within certain limitations.
If you will agree to believe that
the soul is immortal-that people
are still alive after. they are dead
and that the wicked will be
tormented eternally, then you
can believe pretty much as you
please about other things. Those
two points Of doctrine seem to
furnish the passport into the good
graces of our religious censors.
follow all the denominations
pretty closely, and ! take note of
which ones are favorably men,
toned in the big papers and mag
azines. Not that the secular
press has any religious convic-
tons of it's own; but that portion
Of the press which wants to be
considered safe and sane'' is
absolutely dominated by the Or
thodox clergy. And / have never
known it to fail that any sect or
denomination that gets boosted
by this safe and sane' press
turns out to be. one that believes
in the immortal soul and eternal
torment. Even the Dowieites
are getting to be pretty respec.
table because they stress those
two points. The Adventists and
the Russellites on the other hand,
are never mentioned except in
terms of scorn and ridicule.
Why?
Because they deny the devils
lie. They refuse to get tangled
up in that old fog Of tradition a.
bout the soul being immortal and
about the eternal torment of the
wicked. They have the ever
lasting TRUTH on these subjects

The preacher crop seems to have
got frost-bit last spring. Anyhow,
the preacher factories are COM
planning that they can't get any
raw material. Raw is the word.
What they do get is VERY raw;
and it is still raw when they send
it out. What it takes to cook
these raw preachers is a few
doses of The Fool-Kiiler.

THE r

Ai6G LAC tuOugAU aOOOt p0AO VI d
person leaving the body and re-
naming alive after death, made
this reply:
1.-The thinking part goes where
the thinking part came from, and
for convenience we call it heaven"
The thinking part!
And now will somebody please
tell me what the thinking part is?
And where does the thinking part
come from in the first place?
We all know that the thinking
part is the brain. In ether words,
the brain is the organ Of thought
and the center of all our thinking
operations.
Does a baby's brain come down
from heaven and get into it's head
when it is born?
Docs a mans brain leave his
head when be dies and 60 off
somewhere else?
If the doctor would cut open
the skull of q dead man would he
find it empty2
That seems to be the argument
of those who say that the think
ing part'' leaves the body at death
and goes away to some other
place to live.
That theory makes the soul and
the brain the same thing. It is
plain to be seen that the editor
quoted above thought he was talk
ing about the alleged immortal
soul, and he called it the think
ing part" And since it is the
brain that does the thinking, then
the brain must be the soul. Z
Now isn't it a fact that the
brain is a part of the physical
body?
And isn't it a fact that when the
body dies the brain dies with it?
And if the brain dies, isn't the
thinking part" dead?
Then why do they say that the
thinking part remains alive and
still knows everything?
A horse has a thinking part.
So has a dog.
And every other animal.
A horse thinks about dinner
time, and he knows what to do
with his dinner when he gets it. If
a stranger approaches, he knows
the difference between the stran-
ger and the keeper he is used to.
A horse Or a dog can be educated
to do lots of wonderful things
that require thinking.
[ once tried to watch a setting
hen go to her nest that she had
hid out in the woods. She knew
what I was doing, and she had
sense enough not to go to that
nest while [ was watching. That
required some sharp thinking, and
so | know that a hen also has a
thinking part.'
Now tell me this:
Does the thinking part of a
