trickle of goods to reach into the in
terror of China where the forces of
the Central government are battling.
Where the Japanese forces have oc-
cupied China they have consistently
showed their lack of respect for the
culture and customs of the Chinese.
Their morals are low and Chinese
women of all ages have been raw
aged, the speaker pointed out.
The Japanese soldiers have been
quartered in homes of Chinese civil
ians. The Chinese generally do not
heat their homes in winter in order to
save expense of fuel. The civilians in
many cases have offered to get wood
to burn in stoves but the japanese in
stead have burned the tables and
doors of the homes first to show their
disrespect of the Chinese. In a num-
Der of cases other buildings have been
torn dowr to provide proper warmth
for the quartered soldiers.
When the speaker was located in
China as a missionary he was treated
very courteously by the Japanese who
occupied the town in which he was
living. AT that time they were at
tempting to keep on the good terms of
the Americans. A statement on a
door of house that the property be-
Ionged to an American would keep
the japanese out.
Since the Japanese have come into
China the traffic in opium has in
creased. Large poppy fields can now
be seen by any observer and the in
ference may be drawn that opium is
being used to corrupt the native
Chinese.
Although the forces of the Central
government and those of the commu-
nists in China are gaining in equip
ment and military skill it will
take considerable increase in the
harder striking weapons and mechan-
ical equipment before the Japanese
can be driven out of China, the speak
er pointed out.
The round table was conducted
largely by questions being asked of
Mr.. Pannabecker by DR.. Smith. Fol-
lowing the round table forum was
held in which members of tn club ask
ed questions of the speakers.

comparison rest there. Perhaps the powers that enjoined us were afraid we would get drunk: some of the crew were. Which is of lesser importance, a drunken crew member or an intoxicated passen- ger? The answer is obvious. Many of the Lassengers are self-respect- ing residents of Alaska, neither drinkers nor roysterers, but no distinction was made or attempted to be made.
 In behalf of myself and many others equally indignant. I protest this seflseless and arbitrary regi- mentatiCn. If applied to passen- gers the same order should affect the crew. I trust you will consider publication of this letter in your journal so that following passen- gers will not be subjected to the same humiliating experiences.

 Here is matter that should, I believe be brought to your atten- ton in the interest of Alaskans in general and Juneau business men in particular.

Nearly all were in need of articles of clothing or other necessities which We intended to purchase in Juneau.

MAXWELL FINED
 ON TWO CHARGES
Assessed $50 for Resisting Arrest Following Alter=
 cation in Restaurant

AlTaigned on charges of breach ot the peace and resisting an officer Harold Cider" Maxwell, 40, of 2ll Echo Lake road, WatertoWn, was fined $60 and costs by Judge T. E. day.
 According 10 Patrolman John Par ker, Maxwell was arrested after a quarrel in Llndy's lunch on East Main street, Wednesday night. Max well was forcefully put out of the restaurant after he created a dis turbance and used uncomplimen- tary language.
 Judge Conway fined the accused $50 with costs on the resistance count and imposed $10 fine with out costs on the breach of the peace charge.
 Maxwell was sentenced to state prison on April IS, 1887, on a man. slaughter charge and served fifteen month of two to six year term. Others involved with Maxwell were:-
 Anthony LeSelva. q, of 125 Scovill street, charged with interfering with Patrolman Parker as he was at tempting to arrest Maxwell, was given fine Of $1o A breach of the peace count against LeSelva was nOlled
 John Constant, 28, of AZ Spring street, involved in the same fracaS, was fined $25 and costs for resisting arrest and the court nolled breach of the peace count.
 Maxwell was convicted by Judge Patrick B. Sullivan in connection with the dea!h of Barry B. Watts of Oakville who received beating in fight in front of a tavern on WatertoWn avenue on February 28, 1887.
 Watts at the time attempted to act as a pacifier in a quarrel between Maxwell and man named Bren- nan, the states testimony showed after the latter two became involved in a fight.
 AS the fight was carried out later outside the tavern, Watts was struck and knocked to the ground He died later from a brain hem | orrage.
 On February II of last year, Max well again made his appearance in the local city court whe nhe be- came involved in fight with Raf- fael Ruggiero, 65, of 51 Field street in a restaurant on Bank street. Rug ferio at that time was charged with stabbing Maxwell in the arm and chest with a kitchen knife.
 Only for the heavy overcoat that Maxwell was wearing at the time, a knife wound inflicted in the chest would have ended his life. The heavy coat prevented the blade from mak- ing a deep incision, hospital of- ficials reported att he time.

CANCELLED STAMP CAMPAIGN STARTS
English Children Injured in Air Raids Benefit By
 Local Movement

Naugatuck, Jan. 3 - Miss Jessie F. DeShong reports an encouraging response to the request for cancelled stamps which are being collected at the Harris Whittemore Memorial Library for the benefit of the Eng fish children injured in air raids.
 It is requested the stamps be clipped from envelopes and brought to the library or given to some member of the Waterbury Wellesly Club through whom the stamps are sent to a British relief agency. In this period of the year when the mail is so heavy there are more stamps available than at any other time and a small amount of thought on the part of Naugatuck people will mean much less suffering for children. Naugatuck members of the Waterbury Wellesley Club are Miss Frances Burns, Mrs. Harold w.. Brown, Mrs. Harold E. Chittenden, Mrs. William G. Boies, Miss Mar garet E. Bull, Miss Margaret Chit tenden and Miss Emily Sophie Brown
