TOXIC, May g. Foreign Minister Mat sui today asked and obtained assent from the Prince Regent to forwarding the Japanese pro- test against American enactment of the Ameri- can immigration bill barring Japanese from the United States.

 The protest was placed upon the cables for transmission to Ambassador Hanihara at Wash ington shortly after the Foreign Minister had left the imperial palace, and the ambassador will deliuer 1t to Secretary Of State Hughes.
 This action by Japan indicates that the nation IS determined to force recognition by the United States that the Japanese is not an Asiatic as de- fined by the immigration laws, and that the sub- .;ects of Nippon must receiue the same treatment as those of the Nordic races.

REAL PATHOS.

When, months ago, a little girls life was accidentally taken as she played, running into dangerous spot, the people of the city felt deeply the sadness of the event and to those who knew and loved her there ewnt many expressions of sympathy, some spoken, some wSitten and some carried to their hearts on the invisible waves of thought which influence those of whom many people are thinking.
 But in the city there was one man who felt the tragedy of her death far too deeply for expression; one man who remained haunted by the mem- ory of her fading out Of joyous life. And that man was one of the most cheerful of souls, always ready to do a favor, to give an encouraging smile. to do a good turn for anyone. And that man, too, was the one who drove the trolley car which killed the child, Entirely without fault he was; the &C., cident could not have been prevented. But nevertheless the horror of the thought that he had in any way been connected with her death remained with him, sapping his strength, de- pressing his heart. And so. when ill., ness came to him. he no longer had the power 10 resist the sickness. He had little courage to live. He died, and 1t is not hard to believe that one of his last thoughts was of this little child who, through no fault of his own had met her death.
 This man was John o'Connor. of New Britain, long known for his un- failing kindness and thoushtfulpess. Many the passenger on the trolley who remembers him as the motorman who had kept his car waiting while the intending passenger hurried down the side street to 'ratch it. His more in iimate friends remember him for oth- CT kindnessos, and many, many ac- quaintancos remember him for his cheerful smile in day when men are often too sclf-absorbed, too busy, to stop to smile for the sunshine they bring to the world.
 John o'Connor's death was hastcnej by meusbry of tho death Of that little girl. To those left to grieye for him, especially to those to whom he was most dear there goes out again that feeling of sympathy. There is, too, the conviction, that today John o'con- nor's spirit is with that of the little girl and that he knows she has long understood how John o'connor's heart wept when she died. That is im- mortality.

THE FORESTS.

One of the few general remarks that may be made without qualifca- ton is that nothing of value is de- stroyed without a reaction which is disadvantageous to men. It is rare that one walking or driving over a highway which passes through a for est or a grove of trees even, thinks of the practical value of the forest or the grove. The nature-lovcr appre- ciates their beauty and would protect them in a general way. But he is quite apt to knock the fire from his pipe, or throw away his cigarette even as he reflects upon the glory of the great trees.
 According to authoritative statistics many human lives are lost and over s16,oeo,oe0 worth of timber and property is destroyed each. year by forest fires. Most of these fires. if not all of them, are caused by careless ness such as the thoughtless actions just referred 10. Quite aside from the lost beauty. the practical loss which is absolute, inspires sincere urging each spring that the people all over the country consider themselves guardians of these assets hssonginE in way 10 sli of us.
 To make the warning complete a few suggestions. made by those who have studied and know the causes for most fires. may be summarized.
 Break your match in two before throwing it away-thus you will be sure that you have put it out.
 Don't throw a lighted cigar, cisa- rette or the ashes from your pipe over the side of the ear.
 When building a camp fire pick a bit of bare ground or rock if pos- sible and be sure it is distant from brush.
 Report fires you may see or hear Of and find out what the fire regulations are in your state--some prohibit the building Of camp fires without per- mits.
 Especially important in regard to camp fires is the one previously men tioned in years past in The Herald. Don't imagine that because you have apparently stamped it out it is out. Sometimes, when the ground is dry, you merely stamp sparks into the in- fammable ground full of leaf mould which will feed the spark, Gravel and non-inf,ammable dirt is safe.
 It is not a small matter as those. fa- miliar with the subject of forest fires will testify. Protection of our forests is one of the duties that devolres upon all men personally and Of which they may not relieve themselves by dele gating such duty to an oaiciai. He must have cooperation.
