JAP S HAVE. MAN
WHO SPEAKS FOR
THE EXECUTIVE

TOKYO R.-Just as America has
her white House spokesman" Japan
has an official spokesman" who rep
1esents the government in relations
with the press.
The Japanese official who repre-
Sents the government with the CORE
spondents, both foreign and Vernacu-
lar, is Marquis Kin-ichi Komura, son
of the late Marquis Jutaro Komura,
the famous statesman who negotiated
the Treaty of Portsmouth which
ended the Russo japanese war
Like "spokesmen" the world over,
Marquis Komura rarely if ever per-
mits himself to be quoted when he
discusses news events with the COR
respondents. He answers questions
and diSseminates whatever informa-
ton the somewhat secretive govern
ment permits to be broadcast. His
official title is director of the in
formation bureau of the foreign Of
flee" But high Japanese officials
dislike the quoted word. Consequently
official spokesman makes everything
more or less pleasant.
Marquis Komura lives two lives.
One life he spends in uplifting the
foreign correspondents with his al
most perfect English, and the other
in battling with the large number OF
native newspaper men who must daily
interview the spokesman" at the Tor
eign office. The foreign news writer's
go into session with the marquis each
morning at II, Sundays and holidays
excluded. The Japanese press repre-
sentatives, of whom there are more
than so stationed at the foreign
office, are received an hour later.
The foreign and native searchers
after news never meet the ''spokes-
man" together There are said to be
several reasons for this. One un-
doubtedly is the difference in Ian
guage Most of the Japanese re-
porters speak little or no English, and
but few of the foreign correspondents
converse in Japanese with such flu
ency as to discuss matters of state.
Also 1t is said, it is sometimes neces-
sary to give out slightly different
versions of a news to the two groups
But thus far, the spokesman" has
always dealt with perfect franknesS
with his foreign inquisitors.
Marquis Komura was born in 1882
and entered the diplomatic service
upon graduation from the Imperial
university.

HEAD OF UNIVERSITY URGES
CHANGES IN TREND TOWARD
HIGHER EDUCATION OF ALI.
BY DIR. FRANK L. McVEY
president of the University of
Kentucky

Attendance upon college has become
a matter of national interest. With
the large number of new aspirants
for college admission each year, the
Importance is not only one that con-
Germs the colleges, but parents and
students as we'll.
Are there any tests that may be
applied by parents to this recurring
question of ''Who should go to col
lege?"
Speaking broadly the boy or girl
who detests his high school studies
and who does not possess an intel
lectual interest will gain little or
nothing from college.
There is no magic about college,
1t does for the student what he does
for himself in taking advantage Of
opportunities, offered bys college. AS
an institution it provides facilities for
the training of students for profess
sional careers. 1t offers opportunity
to widen ones background, increase
culture and lay the foundation for a
more interesting life.
These are legitimate purposes that
have training and discipline as the
real reasons for going to college.
The great vogue for college today
rests upon the natural disposition Of
youth to seek youth In no other
place can more attractive young peo-
pie be found than on the college
campus. If youth now goes to college
to. play when it should be undergoing
discipline in industry or. business
the good that may be done by college
contacts is purchased at too high a
price.
The college is place OF training
and study. 1t must become more and
more that particular thing if it is
to do it's part Without question that
consideration is clear in the minds
of faculties and administrative Off
| GERS, butt the problem is so wide ana
so deep that it involves many views.
Curricula of secondary schools, am
bitions of parents, social standards
opportunities open to forward looking
youth and glamor of college life are
all parts of the problem. The most
encouraging factor in the whole sit
uation is the steady rise in college
standards, the new emphasis on pur-
pose and the limiting Of extra and
outside activities.
Going to college is an important
matter, for it involves four years OF
youth. The expenditure of that time
is Justified if it is used well and
wisely. This the college hopes is the
real purpose. Of a college course.

Tailor Has No Hope
For Payment In Lite

LONDON R).-One firm of Savile
Row tailors advertise proudly that
they never expect to get paid except
by their clients executors.
They have long since realized that
some of the upper layers of Lon
dons society strata believe it to be
"quite the thing to stand off ones
tailor regardless of their personal
affluence, and have capitalized it.
There is an exodus just now Of
the best London cutters, who, it
seems, are all going to Germany, be-
cause of better working conditions.
There are still many fat Englishmen
who live next door to Sayile Row
that go to Germany for their suits.
German tailors, so they say, are the
only tailors in the world who can
fit fat men,

POST WITH FEDERATION
Rev. c. v. Van Der Linden Begins
Duties With Organization
of Churches.

Rev. G. V. Van Der Linden began
the duties of hospital chaplain July l
under the auspices of the Federation

ago, shortly after beginning his work
in that position.
Mr.. Van Der Linden was for several
years pastor of Anacostia Baptist
Church, so is already well acquainted
with the city. 1t was felt by those in
charge that some one should assume
this task as promptly as possible. so
that the contacts already made might
be continued and there should be no
neglect of these important opportu-
mites for service. This appointment
Is temporary, continuing during the
Summer months at least.
Definite plans for the Fall and Win
ter have not yet been made. This
whole situation will be considered at
the next meeting of the executive COM
mittee, which will be held about the
middle of September. The officers of
the federation believe that Mr.. Van
Der Linden will do efficient service
and he has entered upon the work
with enthusiasm.
