DRY WAR CHANGES FROM LAND TO SEA

It is dry day indeed when the newspapers do not carry some news from the prohibition department or the federal government. Since Col onel Andrews got at the head of the department it has figured in the news even more than usual, cul- minating in an almost daily story regarding the "vast Improvements, or the shake under way
 The news that approximately 700 dry agents will lose their jobs, that the elimination of 400 persons from the bureau in Washington itself IS likely, and that 200 general agents throughout the country will be em- nloved instead of 900 as at present, suggests the probability that the prohibition unit has been over manned right along. With so much deadwood in the service, small Won- der results have been below one half of one percent effective.
 Tho elimination of agents on the land, however, must be at leas, partly countcrbalanccd by the ad- dition of man-power on the sea The use Of the coast guard in ward ing off and chasing rum runners must mean the addition of large numbers of men in this part of the service. It appears entirely likely that economics on the dry land sec ton of the dry department will Dc more than balanced by additions upon the sea. It requires men tt man these ships and Colonel An drews insists he requires man! more 10 combat the rum fleets. Ihi' being the case, it is likely that, 1T view of extra costs on the sea, 1 is necessary to cut down costs ol ! the land.

JAP QUESTION IS
 REGARDED AS VITAL
Feeling in Australia Said to Be
 Of Marked UneaSineSS

Honolulu, July 2 RD--Goneral feeling in Australia is one of mark cd uneaSiness regarding Japan, $. II. Roberts of Victoria, Australia. told the members of the Insttutie of Pa cific Relations, which opened here yesterday. The meetings were held in secret due to the belief that frecr and frank discussion may be had than if they were public.
 T. z. Koo, China, said the read iustment of the affairs of China was vital 10 the peace of the Pacific.
 Hugh Gym. Korea, said Korea lacked the means to start industry and establish commercial relations, which forced the Koreans 10 emi- grate to Manchuria and Saghalien.
 Conrado Benitez, Philippines, dis cussed the independence agitation. Professor J. B. Condilffe, New Zea- land university, said New Zealand's s | immigration restriction lost it's dis tinct racial tendency and is now viewed mainly as expressing the right to control population. There is a strong objection to unrestricted coolie immigration but practical ex- cluson is carried out without ap- parent friction by what amounts to the quota.
 While increasing friendship and cooperation between the English speaking people is welcome, New Zealand does not look to the United States for political or economical support. Any suggestion of minimiz- ing the British connection is unWel- come ill New Zealand opinion.
 Dr. M. Sawatnagi, Japan, said Ja' pan depended upon continental Asia for most of her economic and com. mercial relations. Harmful restric. tions of trade and transportation should be removed and the stric prohibition of illicit traffic in opium and other necessary drugs was need cd. The principle of equality of eco homie opportunities should be ex tended to all parts of the Pacific bSp6Cldlly III lllS JlldlludLtu lCi lltol ies, he said. Japan faces the prob lem of er-population, which coult be remedied either by emigration Standardization, or more intensive cultivation of the land. It was tht duty of each nation to treat residen aliens fairly. He qboted the recen legal reforms in Japan, the right t' land ownership and the abolition 0 dual naturalization.
 s. II. Roberts, Australia, said tn popular term Is "Australia's policy i white Australia" but aS this gay quite a wrong orientation of the col or element the delegation had sub stituted the term immigration pol icy" After experiments with chea' labor Australia had formulated definite policy providing for the eX clusion of any person Of any na tionality if he could not pass a die tation test in any European Ian guagc. No specific country or rae was mentioned. Tt is not primari a racial basis. The aim is primari economic, 10 maintain the standar of living. Cheap labor Of any kin will be excluded"

Riffian Leader to Be
 Offered Peace Terms

Paris, July Pl-The French for eign office today received informa- ton that conditions of peace to be offered Abd- EI-Krim, the leader of warning Rifrians in Morocco are be- ing prepared by the Franco-Spanish conference at Madrid. There is lit tic confidence here that Abd-El- krim will accept.
 The peace terms will be offered Abd FL krim in the name of Spain, although representing both French and Spanish views. The intention is to give the Riffian leader a chance to show whether he wants peace on what the French and Spanish regard as reasonable terms.
 The purpose of the Madrid con- ference is 10 determine a joint pro gram whereby France and Spain may end the Moroccan warfare in- itiated by the attacks of Ahd-El- krim.

 o. What is the ceremony Of beating tho bounds" as practlced In England?
 A. This is the popular expression in England for the periodical sur veys or perambuations by which the ancient boundaries of parishes were preserved. Formerly the cerc- mony took place annually, but now 1t is observed less often. The pro- codure, according to the common custom, Is in this wise: On Holy Thursday or Ascension day the clergyman of the parish, the paro- chial officers and other parlshioners. together with the boys of the parish school, headed by their master, so in procession 10 the, parish boundary. | It IS their duty to trace very care | fully every foot of the boundary even If ladders must be used in climbing ever buildings and other Instructions. 1t is desirable 10 have as many boys as possible, At each boundary mark a halt is made and the boys beat the mark with peeled willow wands to impress it's location not confined to tho above perform ance of the boys, but where it was desired to preserve evidence of par ticular force the singular eXpedient was used of whipping the boys them selves on tho spot, or one of them. who received q stated fee for the permitted castigation out of the parish funls-it being thought that the impression made on the mem ory was thus nIoro likely to be lasting. The custom is a Teutonic institution taking its rise in the procession" of the ancient mark or township. This procession was led by the priests who performed sacrifices on altars placed near the borders. When the Germans were converted, the Chris tian priests took the place of the pagan, and the heathen sacrifice was supplanted by the mass. The pro- cession is Ill maintained in Bavaria, as also in Russia. Similar duties
 were performed by the appointed
 perambulators in the New England
 colonies and by the processioners in
 early Virginia.
 Q. How long has the honey bee ; been known?
 : A. The common honey bee is supposed to be of Asiatic origin and ; was domesticated about the eastern I end of the Mediterranean at tho
 dawn of history, the bee keepers of Egypt Syria and Greece practicine many of the arts used with bees at
 present, such as moving them to
 new pastures from time to time, etc It travelled into Europs with the t Roman civilization, if not before, and , came to America with the carly , colonists.

der the quota law, The same rule, 1t is said, has held good for other southern European nationalItlos, ltaly's quota was filled, but the quota was based upon the low relative Italian immigration Of a generation ago,
 Wo are still receiving immigrants from many countries, but from only % of them are we receiving in eX- cess of 100 each. Germany showed the highest total of cmtgrauts to the United States the past year. with more than 50,oOo entering tho land. The otheN in five figures have been England and northern Ireland, including tho Irish Free State. These three nations had tho largest quotas and naturally filled them. Other northern European nations with larger quotas than the others, also nllcd them.
 Tho National Industrial Confer cnce board has called attention to tho fact that there has been fall ing of of Il per cent In the i'm migration of common labor from Europe, adding that we now arc receiving more skilled labor than common labor, England is de- clarcd 10 be somewhat alarmed over this phenomenon as, although it would like to sec about q million persons emigratc, 1t doesn't wish them to be its skilled laborcrs.
 The Conference board, getting down to brass tacks, quoted figures 10 show that during the ten months mp to April, 1925, 44,750 unskiIled workers left America to 790S who were admitted. The board was of l the opinion that the United States may face toward an acute industrial labor supply problem, which has already made itself felt in the scarcity of common labor. One Of the statistical bureaus recently is' sued figures showing that the market value of common labol had already considerably advancec throughout the country, and tha' the time may soon come Whel common labor will be commanding wages out of all proportion to those paid skilled labor.
 The requirement of the law giv ing to American consuls in forcigl countries the duty of sitting th' applicants for entry into the United States appears to be working wei with one exception at least, There never was much objection 10 thl' feature of the law as it tended tt eliminate many journeys 10 ouI shores only 10 result in journey' back. We are now getting 30o,0O' immigrants year and when all i said on both sides of the discussion about the law, this total is not yer, small Whether the quotas will b changed to some extent in the ncX few years is drhatab|o and rathe doubtful The law was put tlroug during a Republican adminisiratlo and congrcssmcn of both partie supported it, Eastern Congrossme as a rule oppostd the law, but the did not, and do not nov, hold
