DECLARE JAPAN
CAN NOT AFFORD
AMERICAN WAR
View Held by Well Informed
Among Residents of East
ern Nation.

BIZ United Press
TOXIC, Dec. 17.@"Japan can not
afford even to consider a war with
the United States. She might, how
ever, we'll consider an armed strug-
gle, If necessary, to protect her com
merce with the great American
market"
This statement by n of the best
informed foreign observers in japan
largely summarizes the opinion OF
Americans resident in Japan, on h
repeated scares in jingoistic news
papers Of an Observation-Disclosures war
Americans resident in this country
are convinced the Japanese do not
consider the possibility OF conflict be-
tween the two nations and they see
in the recent address delivered py
Ambassador Matsudzira, the Japan
csc representative in Washington, In
hiss peech at the Japanese day cele-
bration at the Philadelphia Sesqui-
Centennial Exposition, a virtual Of
fetal recognition by Japan Of h
,elation between the two nations.
Stresses Inter-D Dependence
Matsudzira emphasized the econo-
mic inter-dependence between Japan
and America, pointing out that Japan
is the best customer Of the United
states in the Pacific and that Amer1-
ca is the greatest purchaser OF jap
anese products.
IT ia common knowledge in Japan
that the economic positions OF h
Empire depends very largely on
American purchases Of Japanese raw
silk. The United States takes prac-
ticallv all the silk raised in Japan
for export, and loss Of this market
would mean little short of ruin %
Japan.
Needs United States Cotton
Similarly Japan depends to a CON
siderable extent on the United States
for her supply of raw cotton al
though the past fiscal year has seen
a great development in consumption
of Indian cotton by the Osaka mills.
Ambassador Matsudzira's speech
was printed extensively in the Japan
ese press and 1t is the almost
unanimous opinion Of conservatives
hat the address will do much TO-
ward ironing out the bad-feeling left

"Oh, l guess everything will be
all right, said the rabbit lady. And
she and Uncle Wiggily managed to
find room for the company and the
forty 'leven little bunnies at the
table, though some had to sit ON
the laps of others. Then they be-
gan to eat, and such wonderful
meal as it was. There was little
trouble, when Jingle. who was sit.

things into her sister S mouth in
mistake for her own. And that also
happened to Tinglc and Tangle.

the room seemed to shrink.
Then, all of a sudden, there was
louder bang than ever and big
crack showed in the side of the

50 much and had grown 50 large
that, packed in as they were, they
had burst the bungalow.
"Oh, look at that!' squcakcd
Nurse Jane.
'Never mind!' laughed Uncle
Wiggilv. That crack won't do
any harm. The bungalow will spring
together again this evening. And
it now let's in fresh air.' Which
was nice way to look at it,
think.
ANYHOW, there was more room
after the bungalow cracked and
spread out sideways. And when the
dinner was over and every one had
had enough to eat, the company
went home and then the crack drew
together and closed.
1T was wonderful Thanksgiv.

STUPID IN THE DARK

~-Dr William J. Mayo, famous surgeon of Rochester,
Mimi has this explanation of the credulity shown by
many otherwise level headed men and women in med
iunstic SeanceS:
Sight gives man 95 per cent of his mental powers,
and so he accepts msinterprets lot of dubious
physchic phenomena because they performed in
the dark where only five per cent of his intelligence
is operating
"The investigating spirit of man leads him into dark
places says DR.. Mayo when he goes into dark
places such as spirualistc seances, without light
and those always conducted in darkness-a
goes deprived of his chief means of obtaining in
formation, the eye.
Under such conditions, in the dark the scientist is
as likely to be led astray anyone else
This may charitaby explain the attitude Of distin
gushed and highly intelligent like Conan Doyle
and Sir Oliver Lodge.
There is probably another of less ef-
fectve than darkness in promoting misconceptions OF
things and heard in seances, whether public
private, professional or amateur This is confusion
regarding the real nature of human SOUL Few inqur-
have any clear idea of what the soul is and few
psychic mediums, however honest and sincere, to
dc any critical thinking about the powers they
dealing with.
Some students who have gone deeply into the ques-
ton of human psychology insist that most of the hon
est phenomena of psychic seances be explained
uy the operation of the mediums sitters subscon-
seious mind The rest they say, may be caused by
Sem-materal body-"asral" or 'octoplasrnic'-a

RECORD-NEWS CIRCULATION
NOW GREATEST IN della
WARE VALLEY

The results of the campaign have
been eminently gratifying to the
LAMBERTVILLE RECORD and the
NEW HOPE NEWS from the stand
point of increased circulation. 1t has
been impossible to list all the new
subscribers turned in at the last
minutes of the campaign, and no
definite figures can be given at this
time. But it is safe to say from a
survey of the six weeks work by
the contestants that the RECORD
NEWS circulation is now the great
est in the Delaware Valley from
Trenton to Easton.
The proportions of new subscrip-
tions was surprisingly high. There
averaged about five new subscrip-
tions to every one old subscription
renewed. J. S. Lackey, the Cam
paign Manager, says this Is an
unusually high pecentage, compar-
ed to campaigns he has conducted on
other papers. This means that the
percentage increase in circulation is
even greater than was anticipated at
the beginning of the campign. And
the RECORD and NEWS are better
able than ever to reach the public
in creating business for their adj
vertisers.
The advertising rates will remain
the same, and merchants can feel
more assured than ever that the use
of these columns will bring good re-
turns on their investments in ad-
vertising.

left standing over the crossing
until 1927.
During that nineteen minutes

We're piled up on both sides of
the tracks.
In the meantime the engine
of the train was switching cars
in the yard-disdainful of the
outrage being perpetrated on
interstate traffic.
The last car of the train
was pulled only partly across
the street. If the engineer had
pulled the train fifteen feet
further it would not have
blocked traffic during it's nine

POLICE COURT NEWS

Court of L. w. Smith, Magistrate
William Moran, of New Hope, was
arrested on South Main street by
Constable William Morse, for being
intoxicated. He was arraigned under
the City Disorderly Ordinance and
fined $500 and costs.
A case tried in the Small Cause
Court before Justice Smith between
Jacob Marut, plairtiff, and Alexan-
der and Mary Mashouski, defen-
dants, who formerly lived in West
Amwell Township, but now residents
of New York City, resulted in the
defendants getting the decision in
their favor. The suit was instituted
by Marut, a real estate dealer of
West Amwell Township, for COM
mission on the sale of defendants
real estate.
1t appeared by the defendants
testimony that there was really no
sale, but that the farm was jointly
owned by them and another party
and that there was mortgage
thereon, and the farm was simply
transferred over to the partner fol-
no money consideration. There was
not enough evidence to show sale
and the Justice decided in favor Of
the defendants. They filed set
off or counter-claim, that Marut
owed them the sum of $49.80 on q
note, and plaintiff admitted owing
same. Judgment was given to the
defendants for that amount, and the
costs incurred. Attorney w. F
Hayhurst appeared for the defend
ants, and Attorney II. G. Prall fol

PLAN LIBRARY
IMPROVEMENTS
Commissioners Asked To Appro-

MANY NEW BOOKS


Lambertville-The Board of Trus-
tees of the Free Public Library
have drafted a resolution petition
ing the City Commissioners for
$4,000 for the purpose of properly
furnishing and equipping the Lii
brary. The request was submitted to
the Commissioners Monday evening
by Mrs. Winifred w. Hunt, secre-
tary for the Board.
The Commissioners gave favorable
consideration to the request, and
the matter was referred to Attorney
Charles A. Malloy so than an or
dinance could be drafted to cover
the appropriation. The Library has
been appreciably improved under the
new administration, many new books
have been added and efforts made
to better serve the public. 1t is to
be hoped that arrangements can be
made for the opening of the Library
every evening, for many are confus-
ed as to the hours and evenings
now in operation.
