By Japanese Leaders

an attack by the United States.
This helps to fire their ami
mostly against men and things
American.
Japan is playing the same
old game for the same old
stakes for which she has been
striving even since 1894, when
she eliminated the Chinese
navy as a factor in the bal
ance of power in the Pacific.
It is an Oriental game In
which Japan claims everything
upon the chance of getting
something that will put her
nearer her goal.
And the stakes in this game
are the conquest Of Asia and
supremacy in the Pacific.
At the next naval confer
ence, Japan will demand
equality in every class of COM
batant ship with the American
and British navies, recognition
of Japan as the sovereign Of
ManChurla, ana or tne former
German colonies in the Pa
cific north of the equator, and
admission of japanese immi-
grants to the United States,
Canada and Australia on q
quota basis.
Japan got so much from
the United States at the
Washington and London Naval
Conferences under the Hard
ing and Hoover administra-
tions that she is apparently
determined to ask for more.
Fortunately, however, for
the national honor and ma
tional security of the American
people there is a Roosevelt in
the White House today wno
knows Japan and how to meet
her challenge.

Rare Books

A stroll through the marvel
lous library of the celebrated
collector of rare books and
manuscripts, DR.. A. S. Rosen-
bach, revealed the fact that
some of the most precious pos
sessions of literature had a
narrow escape from destruction
before they ever reached
printer or publisher. Sir Philip
Gibbs relates that the most
anguished hour of his life was
when he discovered that he had
left the manuscript of his first
novel, THE Street of Adven-
ture," in a railroad station.
But luck was with him and the
missing sheaf of papers was
turned up.
Lord Tennyson, after writ
ing In Memoriam," left it be-
hind when he moved from one
flat to another. BY a fortunate
chance the manuscript was re-
covered by his friend, Coventry
Patmore.
Thomas Carlyle. after COM
pleting the terrific labor Of
writing the first volume of his
French Revolution" destroyed
all his notes and sent the
manuscript of the book to John
Stuart Mill. And Mills house
keeper picked up a sheaf OF
papers from a table and used
the sheets to get her fire
going.
When Mill reported the loss
Carlyle, crusty old Scotchman
that he was, felt physical
agony, as if an iron hand was
squeezing his heart. But he
sat down and rewrote the book
from end to end, and we will
never know how the second
labor compared with the first,
great as the second turned out
to be.
Joseph Conrad temporarily
lost the manuscript of "AlmaVer's
Folly" in a railroad station
restaurant in Berlin, and near
ly lost it again in South Africa.
Rudyard Kipling so greatly
disliked his "Recessional" that
he threw the finished poem
into the waste basket. Mrs. Kip
ling found the discarded sheets
and sent them to the London
Times. The editor of the
Times sent to Mr.. Kipling a
blank check.

Japan is under the dominance
of a government today that is
doing it's utmost to inflame the
japanese people against the
United States.
In Japan the government con-
trolls the press, and the Japa-
nese press for many months has
been broadcasting mendacious
matter designed to arouse the
animosity of all Japan against
America.
Denials of these falsehoods
carry little weight because the
Japanese people know that the
government speaks t roug h
their press, and they trust the
government.
This year the problem worked
out in the maneuvers OF the
japanese fleet in the vicinity of
the Bonin Islands involved a
theoretical attack by the United
States fleet upon Japanese ter
ritory.
The maneuVerS extended
south of Japan proper to the
area lying between Formosa on
the west and the Bonin Islands
on the east-midway between
Japan and the Philippine Is
lands.
These maneuvers have just
ended with the grand review
of the fleet off Yokohama
where it was inspected by EN-
peror Hirohito with one million
of his loyal subjects assembled
to witness the impressive spec
tacle.
Generally the problem as
signed the fleet at these an
nual maneuvers is guarded as a
great secret. This year it was
broadcast to the japanese peo-
pie. They were led to believe
that they are in real danger Of

Strange and persistent are
ancient beliefs. And sometimes
with more in them than cold
science can fathom-something
just beyond the ken of mind.
There's the Able Mermet, in
Paris, who has attracted world
wide attention by asserting
that a great underground river
of pure water flows at a depth
of 1900 feet near Paris. And
adjacent to this subterranean
river, the Able asserts. is a vast
storehouse of gas which could
illuminate the French capital
for generations. Now, the odd
thing about this discovery is
that Able Mermet made it
with a divining rod, forked
twig of hazelwood.
The tip of the rod bending
stubbornly toward the ground
revealed to the French clergy
man and scientist the presence
of this vast, hitherto unsus-
pected store of good water. :

Not All Luck

The principal investigator OF
the magical rod was Prof. w.
F. Barrett of England, sclen-
tist of distinction.
Making liberal allowances
for failures, of which l have
not heard" said Prof. Barrett,
st have no hesitation in saying
that where fissure water exists,
and it is very difficult to dis
cover underground water, the
divining rod finds it too often
to make it merely a matter OF
luck" :,
The "dowser," as they call
the man who carries the forked
twig. walks slowly over the
ground in which the water is
believed to be. He balances the
rod lightly over his fingers, or
holds it easily at the tips. With
unaccountable violence it moves
suddenly and resolutely, twist
ing or bending toward the
ground, pointing to the hidden
water.
Not so long ago a crowd of
800 looked on intently while a
divining rod was being tested
near Rochester, N. Y. And water
was located in most of the 20
tests. All over the United States
people are using divining rods
or some contraption designed to
"eavesdrop" on 1Tature's secrets.
A few months ago the
dowsers of the world held an
international conference in
France. Two hundred men
and women, equipped with
magic rods of hazel, willow or
holly, roamed the countryside.

It is the price of success and
you should expect it.
But if you temper your sue
cess with humility, you will not
be aggressive enough to make
a real success in any executive

That does not mean you
should be arrogant to hold a
high position but it does mean
that a man of power has to
show a firm, unflinching front.

He is married and his wife has

My former sweetheart came to
