SOWING THE SEEDS OF
FRIENDSHIP.

A proud and chivalrous people such
as the Japanese will not easily forget
the promptness with which the United
States came TO their help at the time
of the greatest material disaster in the
history of Japan. Hardly had the re-
port of the catastrophe crossed the Pa
cific than official and unofficial
agencies Of relief in this country were
set in motion. The response to the call
was instantaneous.
The help which America has given,
and which she will continue to givej
as long as there is need for it, should
go far toward disarming the hostile|
feelings which some Japanese, as in-|
dividuals, have cherished toward the|
United States. Suspicion and hostility
towards this country have not been|
altogether absent of recent years.
There have been attacks against
America in the press and elsewhere.
These manifestations, although we
cannot believe they express the senti-
ments of the great majority of the
japanese people, have nevertheless
been an irritant in international re-
lations. Now, under the shadow of
great national catastrophe the Japa-
nese people have seen that our pro-
fessions of good will are genuine, that
we wear no mask of feigned friend
ship. Thus Japan's disaster may not
be altogether a thing of destruction.
Her ruins may not be wholly a loss.
There may be a spiritual, an ideal
istic gain in all this loss of lives and
of property.
The memory of the succor as tend
ed by America, let us hope, will long
remain as the determining factor in
disarming Japan's suspicion of the
motives and the purposes of the
United States.-Boston Transcript.

HONOR.

Just what is honor? The word has
a noble sound and should have a
noble meaning. A great gentleman
once described himself as man of
honor, who deemed it his duty to pro-
tect women.
YES" said a cynic, "from every
man but himself"
The upholding of "honor" has led
to much duelling in the past, out OF
which came some doleful tragedies,
but in these cases usually only one
individual fell.
National honor" asserts itself upon
a larger scale. 1t sacrifices the inno-
cent, it slaughters thousands in its
avengings.
We no longer fight duels to satisfy
individual honor, but the nations have
not yet come to the pass where they
can become impersonal. The dream of
Versailles seems still a dream. Yet
the time must come when it will prove
a reality.-New York World.

BY THE PACIFIC OCEAN.

Here, room and kingly silence keep
Companionship in state austere;
The dignity Of death is here.
The large, lone vastness of the deep:
Here toll has pitched his camp to rest:
The west is banked against the west.
Above you cleaning skies of gold
One lone imperial peak is seen;
While gathered at his feet in green
Ten thousand foresters are told
And all so still so still the air
That duty drops the web Of care.
Beneath the sunsets golden sheaves
The awful deep walks with the deep,
Where silent sea doves slip and sweep.
And commerce keeps her loom and weaves.
The dead red men refuse to rest:
Their ghosts illume my lurid West

Begin Here Today.

Hope Ranger, daughter of Loring
Ranger, is missing and a reward OF
hundred thousand dollars is offered
| by her wealthy father for ner safe re-
| turn. Assisting in the search for
Hope are her fathers two friends,
Eustice Highly, attorney, and Juarez
Charlie, adventurer.
A command comes from Hopes abb
ductors for Ranger to deposit in a
specified place hundred thousand
dollars worth of bonds. This is done
according to instructions.
At Dr. Bristow's sanitarium a
friendship arises between DIR. George
Kelsey, who is detained there, and
Vera Ccpley, patient, who is regis
tered as Nurse Anita COpley's sister.
Alderman Higgins is making his home
at the hospital and DIR. Morton is an
assistant there. Now go on with the
story.
She was sane. He knew it. He
could not be deceived. The idea that
a person Of her self control. her clear
perception, was harboring delusion
was nonsense. And if She said she
was Hope Ranger, it was so. He be-

seemed to have direct application.
He reached over to his book shelf to
take down the volume he wanted,
and as he did so, a folded, yellow piece
of newspaper dropped Out-that fraS-
ment of Sunday supplement. He had
thrust it in there as boOk-mark.
Spreading it out on the table, he
studied its array of portraits. There
could no longer be any doubt. The
hair was arranged differently, but the
features, the contour, the expressions
were the same as Verna Copley's.

ARMY A|RPLANES WILL. JOIN BATTLE
 AGAINST WEEV|LS
Three Ships Are Assigned Ag- ricuIture Department for Experiments in Louis
 jana Cotton Fields

WASHINGTON March 13.--Three army airplanes with necessary per sonnel were assigned today by order of Acting Secretary Davis to the de- partment of agriculture for use as a comba; s;ait against the boil weevils in Louisiana. The assignment was for period of eight months. during which the airplanes will work under the auspices of agricultural depart ment officers in Louisiana, seeking means to eradicate the boil weevil menace to the cotton and other crops of that state.
 Secretary Wallace requested IS planes. five for a period of 12 months and eight for four months. Secre- tary Davis said he had conferred with Major General Patrick, chief of the army air service, and found such a shortage of equipment and person. mel as to make full compliance with the agricultural departments request impossible. In assigning the three machines and pilots, he said. the war department had made maximum eff fort to cooperate.
 The airplanes will be used with special spraying equipment to fly over the fields in Louisiana, spreading a substance of pois- onous sort to the boil weevils to the ground. Previous experiments of this kind, it was said, have been suc- cessful to high degree.
