Cause necadence Natives in Alaska
 Was Described
Cigarettes, Candy, Late Dances Unsanitary Homes, Cited AS Reasons For Illness Among the Natives of Alaska-NOt Used to White Mans Ways.

Attempts by natives to live the life of white men on a natives income is, in large part, the explanation for the prevalence of tuberculosis and other dis eases among their race, Dr. Nor ton Meyers, Indian physician for the Bureau of Indian Affairs, said.
 Dr. Meyers has been with the bureau in Alaska for seven years, with headquarters at Akiak, on the KuskokWim river. He was in charge of the bureaus hospital at Akiak until it was closed two years ago, and later went to Ka- nakanak.
 "The native will spend his last penny for cigarettes, liquor and candy. When it comes time to buy the substantial things of his diet he is broke and must go back to his fish diet until he tires of it, when he will eat crackers and water, and then more fish.
 Another white mans habit he has adopted is to go to dances late at night and dance until ear ly morning. All this goes toward depicting his physical resistance to disease. He falls an easy prey to whatever comes along.
 Dr. Meyers made trip to Nel- son island in the spring of 1895, being the first white doctor to at tend the natives of that island. The natives still depend largely on the old time medicine man or shaman who Weaves a spell about the sick person in order to make him well.
 But Dr. Meyers says that white ways are decimating the natives by disease by lowering their re- sistance.

LONDON, February 27.-Europe's

Japan's internal upheaval would leave
its mark on the cause of world peace.
London's press asked openly: "Will

ual power for the Japanese militarist
bloc. saw q danger Of dictatorship
based on indifference to western
civilization and a determination to
make Japan the master, at least Of
Asia.
France. with q yet-unratified
Franco-soviet military assistance pact
under parliamentary debate, viewed
the unveiled concern the possible ef-
feet Of the Toxic events on the Soviet
union.
Berlin Sees Pact Blocked.
In Berlin the thought was unoffl-
cially expressed that the Japanese
assassinations and their possible con-
sequences in relations with Russia
might 4lelp block the Franco-Soviet
accord.
Under the projected Franco-Soviet
pact, the two countries would assist
each other against aggression only on
the Western Soviet and the Eastern
French borders, but it was believed
war in the Far East would impair the
value Of the pact, so far as France is
concerned.
Geneva, likewise fearing the at
tempted coup might further strain
Russo Japanese relations, heard also
that Japanese business men have
been told to do everything possible
to avoid a crash of Japanese secur-
tiles.
Despite the concern reflected by the
London press, some persons here held
hope for formation of a Japanese
cabinet prepared to carry on the com.
paratively liberal policies of the slain
premier. Keisuke Okada.
The Telegraph pointed out that the
rebel officers had not reckoned with
the possible effect of their action on
the Navy.
Nays Reaction Weighed.
Both the premier and the former
premier who were murdered were ad-
mirals, appointed to their posts to
balance the great and growing in
f1uence Of the army" said the news
paper. 1T is significant and perhaps
ominous that an appeal was made to
the fleets to restore order.'
Competent London observers laid
the revolt to militarist discomfort with
conservative government action on tor
der disputes involving Russia and the
question of North Chinese penetration.

orderly crowds shuf1ed over icy pave
ments, seeking to press close to the
center of action where the rebels
seized government residences and stra-
tegic centers.
A strong Gordon Of troops, acting
under the martial law, kept the throngs
moving, however, clearing a distance
as far as possible from the trouble
zone.
The government and military au-
thorities alike insisted on keeping civil
ians outside any district of further
conflict.
Emperor's Rights Invoked.
The proclamation of martial law,
signed by the Emperor, countersigned
by the Goto cabinet ministers and
promulgated yesterday in the Official
Gazette as an imperial ordinance, de-
clared:
Having seen that an emergency
prevails and after consulting our privy
council, we have ordered our govern
ment to promulgate and to apply the
necessary. regulations of martial law
to the given district (Tokio) under
article 8, chapter /, of the constitu-
tion."
This article reads, "The Emperor,
in consequence of urgent necessity to
maintain public safety or to avert
public calamities, issues, when the
Diet is not sitting, imperial ordinances

All victims were comparative lib
erals and thus opponents Of the Fas-

Gen. Watanabe incurred Fascist
enmity especially because he replaced
their favorite, Gen. Mazaki, now being

other object of the assassins' campaign,

All leading generals. including the

Enlisted men formed the major part
OF the rebels ranks, and government

A belief grew in political circles
that the 'Emperor's advisers would
urge the Right Wing elements to be
given a chance to form cabinet to
see whether they would be able to
conduct the government.
Even Liberal political sources shared
this belief, confident that such an
experiment would produce a strong
public reaction to the Left, permit
ting early restoration Of normal
government.
The fact that Admiral Kanji Kato,
retired former chief of the navy gen.
eral staff, joined the deliberations with
the war council was interpreted to
mean ultra nationalist views were pre-
vailing in strong support of Kato, a
leader of the ultra-patriotic faction of

"The military was badly beaten Tin

Japanese people as anything other
than the military retaliation. In any
event, there is a better demonstration
than ever before of the displeasure
within Japan toward the military die

Tweedle-dee, in case you are
curious, is a pig and, believe it or
not, his owner wanted DR.. Milton

him.
The porker, it appears, didn't
eat the usua' refuse generally con-
Sidered an ideal diet for pigs. No,
indeedy! He subsisted on the very
best canned dog food. What, his
owner wanted to know, did the
veterinarian think Of canned dog
food as a diet for Tweedle-dee?
DR.. BoSley admitted he didn't
think much of it. He suggested
that SKINNED milk, chicken corn
and cabbageS would be better
Pigs, he explained, is pigs, and
they don't require the dainty diets
