Predicts Decline in Birthrate

Toxic, August 30.-A solution 70
the population problem OF Japan is
seen by Yukio Osaki, Japan's Liberal
leader, in decline of the birth-rate
coincident with higher standard of
civilization and higher education of
women. "In my lecturing tours in
the Provinces" says Osaki, "many
questions are asked concerning this
problem, the people displaying much
anxiety and little knowledge about it..
Progress Of civilization reduces birth
rate. At present negroes are the
most provocative, then the Chinese
and japanese. The more brain work
japanese women engage in the great
er will be the decline Of their procre-
ative powers. On the other hand,
japanese emigrants abroad do not ex-
ceed 100000, and this poor figure is
an eloquent testimony to the Difficult
ties attending the disposition of the
surplus population by means of emil
grafton. Despite ernnent's eff
forts to induce people to settle in the
Hokkaido, an excellent place for col
onization, the results have been un-
satisfactory. It is, therefore, useless
to try and solve the population prob
lem of Japan by means of emigra-
tion."

Campaign to
Exterminate Ants

New Orleans, Aug. 31.-Ants in
New Orleans are in for a tough time
at the hands of 5000 local women
who have become so aroused at the
destruction wrought by the insects
that they have undertaken a cam
paign of determination. Two and one
half million dollars damage to plant
life is estimated as the annual toll
taken by ants, and to combat this the
women have started fund of $40,-
600 with which to combat thdatosshr
600 with which to purchase 100000
tins of poison This solution does
not cause instant death but permits
the ants to return to their nests to
feed others, thereby wiping out the
entire family. The women hope to
have the ants completely routed by
Christmas.

Driven Railroad
Cars Appear in South

Chattanooga, Tenn, Aug. 31.-The
motors driven railroad car will make
its first appearance on Dixie rail-
road Tomorrow when operation of
gasoline propelled combination pas
senger and baggage trains will be in
augurated on the Tennessee, Ala
bams and Georgia Railroad. The
cars will operate on schedule and
win displace steam-propelled trains
nov used on the road.
The motor driven car is similar in
appearance to the Pullman car. 1t is
of steel construction throughout,
weighs $4,000 pounds and has ac-
commodations for forty passengers.
Like an automobile, the car is oper-
ated with gear shifts, but has six
speeds forward instead of three as on
an automobile; and it's four-cylinder
engine, it is estimated, is capable
of developing sixty-eight horsepow-
er. The car is equipped with air
brakes and all other standard appli-
ances on the modern steam coach
It is capable of making 80 miles an
hour: and will average five to six
miles per gallon of gasoline.
Born of the genius of E. H. Harri-
man and the inventive ingenuity Of
William McKeen, the motor-driven
railroad car came into existence as 8
potential transportation factor or
March 2S,. 1905. Mr. Hartman sug.
I gested the possibilities Of the gaso.
line coach in 1908, and Mr.. McKeer
who also built the first steel freight
and passenger cars, Immediately be-
gan work on his model. Mr.. McKeer
then was superintendent of motive
power and machinery for the Unior
Pacific system, but upon completion
of his invention he was placed at thu
head of million dollar corporation
and the gasoline cars were construct
ed in large numbers as their value
became apparent. In March, 1920
the McKcen company was purchase:
' by the Union Pacific. The cars
/, greatly improved during the seven
e teen years in which they have beer
used, are filling an important place

British M. p. Studying
Syrian Situation

Beirut, Syria, July 15.--Major Gen
erai Charles V. F. Townshend, who
commanded the British forces which
surrendered to the Turks at Kut-el-
Amara in the campaign for Bagdad,
is at present here as the personal
guest of General Gourand, the French
high commissioner to Syria. '~- 49,
General Townshend, after the war,
returned to England from Turkey and
was elected to parliament, where he
has appeared as critic Of the policy
of the British government IN the Near
East. Special despatch from London
in May said the government had re-
fused him a passport to visit Turkey,
fearing he purposed 70 deliver pro-
Turkish speeches. He was believed
strongly to favor the Turkish side of
the argument with Greece.
1t is believed in Beirut that Cen
cral Townshend came to Syria in an
effort to bring about reconciliation
of the British and French policies in
Palestine and Syria. He has been
quoted in a local newspaper as fol-
ment, which had led to Mustapha
lows:
"The Turkish Nationalist move
ment, which had led to Mustapha
Kennel Pasha gaining all the real
power in Turkey, would never have
assumed its present attitude of hos
| tility to the Allies had not the Treaty
of Scvres proposed to dismember the
Turkish Empire"
He believes that the Greco Turkish
war must be stopped, and that the
Greeks should renounce their claims
to any part of Asia Minor and agr, ,e
to the Turks retaining the ethnologi-
cally Turkish parts of Thrace, includ
ing the Moslem holy city OF Adria,

every larege city of the Southeast,
and many smaller centcrs, will be

ing Elk lodge officials which is to be
held Atlanta on Labor Day, Septem-
Der 4, to discuss plans for the 1923
convention of the grand lodge of Elks,
which is to be held in Atlanta next
July.
Every Elk's organization in the
states of North and South Carolina,
Georgia, Florida, Alabama and Ten
nessee will be invited to join with the
Atlanta lodge in providing an enter
tainment program more extensive In
scope and more elaborate In charac-
ter than has ever greeted the grand
lodge before.
The annual convention of the Elks
is the largest gathering of it's kind
in America, drawing between forty
and fifty thousand delegates from all
parts of the country, and thousands OF
special visitors, as WELL The fact that
any particular section is given the
priyilege Of entertaining the grs,

All the lodges in the southeast
worked valiantly at Atlantic City last
July to aid Atlanta in securing the
convention. The Atlanta lodge, in
return, is striving to make the con-
vention prove of the most distinct ad-
vantage to every lodge in the section
Just what is being planned in this di-
rection will be discussed in full at the
conference on Labor Day.
1t is known that one of the most
important matters to be discussed will
relate to the presence in the annual
parade of every Southern lodge, re
cruited to maximum strength. This
parade is world famous because OF
the large number of bands and pa
trolls in line and because Of the many
gorgeous floats and amusing antics of
those who are in line. Thousands of
persons gather each year from dis
tant points to witness this one per-
formance.
While the guests are in the city,
they will be given special entertain
ment by the Atlanta convention
board. The program includes a.
luncheon given by the Atlanta lodge,
an automobile tour Of the city in the
afternoon, and big ball to be given
at the Elk's club, one of the finest
appointed club houses in the country,
