BUNKER HILL MEN
 ENJOY CLERGYMAN
Rev. Floyd Roberts Tells Group Japan Positively
 Not a Democracy

"Japan is positively not De- mocracy," stated Rev. Floyd Roberts, Second Congregational church mis- s!onary in Nagoya for many years, in an interesting address last even- ing at the monthly meeting of the Bunker Hill Mems league attended by approximately 65, one of the largest turnouts in many years.
 "The man In the street is hot supposed to think, for he's afraid the military government would choose war with the United States and otter powers on whom they are dependent for raw materials and the like and believe that war with these powers would be suicide although they are afraid to express their fears openly" he added.
 MT. Roberts outlined Japan's prob- lems and showed interesting movies of the country which he claims Is slightly larger than the State of California but which is supporting 30 million people. After the movies he held an open forum and ques- tions were asked from the floor.
 Fifteen per cent of the land there Is suitable for farming. The coun- try has no natural resources like the United States, but nevertheless the country has been brought up to a first-class power within Q very short tine. Transportation facili- ties there are very good, railways ard planes always operating on time. Universal education there is compul- sorry and 98 per cent of the popula- ton may be termed illiterates. Ja- pan stressed strong army and navy, more than other countries who stress only one or the other" added the speaker.
 Japan considers herself the champion of all races, due to her progressiveness and believes in the motto might is right. Plenty of hy- droe-lectric power Is available there which is taken from the mountains" he concluded. The speaker was in- troduced by Rev. Alan M. Fair bank.

Increase Noted In
Diphtheria In State

Calling attention to marked in
crease in diphtheria in the State, DR..
r. H. Riley, Director of the State
Health Department, urges parents
who have neglected to have their chill
dren protected against this disease, to
take them to their doctor or to the
nearest health department clinic and
have it done without further delay.
He reminded parents that through
the use of what is known as "toxoid,"
children can be protected against
diphtheria in the same way that they
can be vaccinated against smallpox.
The disease is particularly hard on
young children and every youngster
should be given the toXoid treatment
before he or she is year old, if pos.
sible, and certainly before the child
enters school. Toxoid clinics are held
in all Of the County Health Depart
ments, and in the Baltimore City
Health Department centers, for the
protection of children who can MOI
have it done otherwise. Full informal
ton as to places or hours for these
clinics can be readily obtained from
the health officers and public health
nurses.
There were fifty more cases of
diphtheria reported to the State De-
partment of Health during November
of this year, than during November of
1910. The total number of cases re-
ported in November, 1910, was 30; %
from the counties and 2 from Balti-
more City. The total reported in
November of this year, was 80; Sc
from the counties and IL from Balti-
more City. Flare-ups in different
parts of the State have been RESPONSE
BILE, DR.. Riley said, for a marked in
crease in the total number of cases
reported during the current year.
During the eleven months which ended
November 30, the Department was
notified of the occurrence of 210 cases,
ITO in the counties and 40 in Balti.
more City. The total reported for
the entire twelve months of 1910 was
1853; 100 cases from the counties and
40 from Baltimore City.
"The aim of every health officer"
DR.. Riley continued, lis to have every
young child in the area ever which he
has supervision, safeguarded against
this dread disease. Thousands of par
ents have availed themselves of the
opportunity afforded by the local
clinics to have their children protected
against it. The results have been
shown in a gradual decrease in sick
ness and deaths from diphtheria. The
number dropped from $500 cases and
1872 deaths in 1920, to LOO cases with
go deaths in 1880, and to fewer than
100 cases with 7 deaths in 1910.
Though sickness and deaths from
diphtheria have been cut, down to less
than one-tenth of what they were
twenty years ago, there is always
danger that the child who has not
been protected against it, will take it
from some other child, or from some
body who has had the disease and who
may be carrier Of it. Parents are
