Tells of Aims and
Ambitions of Japs
And Chinese in Asia

Williamstown. Mass, Aug. 10
Ascribing Japan's changed policy
toward China to a growth of liberal
tendencies, Yusuki Tsurumi in his
second lecture before the institute
of politics tonight explained that
what is called Japan's cultural work
In China is IAN expression of the
growing desire of the Japanese to
take up anew the study of oriental
civilization" 1t has a deeper mean
ing, he said, than is concealed in
the bombastic cry of Asia. for the
AsiaticS."
The people of Japan and China, !"
said Mr.. Tsurumi, ARE turning once
more upon themselves, exploring
their own resources of spirit and
seeking way to victory along paths
that are linked with the glories OF
the past" He contrasted Japan's
new attitude with the foreign poll
cy which reached its climax in
1915 when Japan rendered to Picking
the world famous p demands" The
new Chinese policy Of Japan, he
stated. was accompanied by a clear
Japanese disapproval of the foreign
control of China in any form.
Dwelling on the rise of liberalism
in Japan, the lecturer traced the
progress and the obstacles Of it's
growth and predicted that the man
hood suffrage bill would pass both
houses of parliament and become a
law next winter. He gave the cost
Of elections as one of the handicaps
on liberalism and referred to the
American immigration bill of 1924
as bringing in it's train grave con-
sequences for the future of Japan"

Predictions OF A Russian

Seventy-se years ago the great
Russian novelist, Feodor Dostoevski.
then a young man, foresaw the
catastrophe which was to over
whelm his country. This is shown
in series of his letters which are
published, for the first time in any
language in The Forum. Writing to
his friend General Rzewaski. on
June Is, 1S47 he says:
you know that l have always at
times had premonitions as to the
future. and lately these premonitions
seem to have increased, so that I
sometimes find 1t uncomfortable to
fight against this conviction of the
misfortune to come. And it seems
to me so strange to hear my
friends prophesy for me n great
literary future, when ! know no
such future Is in store for me. that
humiliation is the only thing which
awaits me; me, and our country.
Because Russia's future Is as dark as
my own. Soon. how soon, / don't
know,--no one knows or can tell
but soon she will no longer be a
nation, no longer be an empire, no
longer be feared or be loved. but lie
vanquished and bleeding under the
feet Of some conuueror come from
Europe or from Asia, or simply risen
from her, risen from among her
children.
Il seem to see all this. to gaze on
BROKEN. murdered. destroyed Rus
STA. and then the spectacle changes
and / see myself broken man,
whose dreams, ambitions, hopes
have been crushed out of existence,
useless human being. And when
all these things pass through my
brain, l try to open my eyes, to
chase away all these spectacles of
distress and of agony, and l cam
not do It. I simply cannot. Life fills
me with dread; with an unknown
terrible dread. the dread of mani
festation of the power of God which
] shall not be able to bear. which
shall make my bones SILVER In their
envelope Of flesh. My God, what ia

Calumet TAKES
SHORT CONTEST
FROM GANNETTS

Playing four innings by agreement
the Calumet Club took the measure
of Gannetts by score of SO at Will
Iiams Field last evening. The late
ness of the Millionaire contest made
it impossible to play full game and
the two captains agreed on four in
nings before the game.
The Calumet Club won the game
in the first off Ellis, three of the first
four batters hit for extra bases, Cote
hitting Ellis first offering for a hon.
or and Giroux and Pomerleau get
ting triples.
Gannetts scored in the second and
third but were unable to tie the
count. The best play of the game
was Kinds catching off Doyon in the
first. the fast shcrtstop running
nearly to the gate to pull down what
looked like a sure hit.
The teams played until the first
of the fourth when it looked light
enough to play another inning but
after two were out and a run had
been scored by Calumet in the last
of the fourth it was decided that the
darkness was too pronounced to con-
tinue and the game was called.

Unemployment Reasons
Sought By Labor

Geneva. July 80 "a. P. by Mail)--
The unemployment suffered through
out the world from 1920 to 1923 is
closely connected with the periodical
crises which have afflicted the work
ing classes and humanity as a whole
for a century, according to a report
issued by the international labor Of
flee, which gives the results Of an
international inquiry into the sub
ject.
The report remarks that this con-
clusion is contrary to q fairly wide
spread idea. 1t declares that while
it is true that the great questions
of international relations resulting
from the war and the treaties of peace
have gravely affected the national
economy of many countries. result
ing in the complication and aggrava-
ton of unemployment, the inquiry
indicates that apart from certain ex-
ceptions. available statistics show
scarcely any correlation between
changes in unemployment and the
fluctuations in foreign trade.
The report adds that in many
countries the period of most intense
unemployment was accompanied by
a greater volume Of exports than at
some other date.

BEN HOUSER TO
HAVE ALL THE YEAR
JOB AT BOWD0IN

Ben Houser will continue as base

was definitely learned yesterday when
he stated that he had talked over the

him that at a meeting Of the Bowdoin
Alumni Council held Monday night it
had been decided to make his job at
the college an all-the-year one at a
salary commensurate with such an ar

figures but said that a contract was
in the mails for him to sign calling
for his services for a fixed term of
years and that the salary was agree
able to him.
The decision Of Bowdoin authorities
to retain Houser at an appreciate in

he was considering a very fattering
offer to take the position of coach at
Bowdoin calls for activities other than
that of baseball. the details of which
are to be worked out later. That he
will assist in other sports, particularly
football, Is very probable.
Ben since going to Bowdoin has
turned out several championship teams
and perhaps none were so notable as
the trick he turned this spring. Out
Of a bunch Of green players which
made very poor showing in the early
exhibition games of the spring, he
whipped them into such shape that the
college title was won in the face of
dire predictions by all the dopesters
of the State.
At the close Of the Maine State
League season, which comes after La

where he will confer with college ath-

duties.
