Japan's Best Interpreter a
Westerner
I-oveiB of the rare ireniua of I.nf-
cadio Ilcarn will be irlad to know of
tho recent issue of a little book of
reminiscences of his life In Japan by
hit- wife, Setauko Koizumi. Thu ten
der and humorous delineation of his
poignant sensitiveness, his love of
beauty, his child-like joy in playinic
with his children, explains most con
vincingly why Ilcarn, half-Irish, half
Orcik, should, after many adventures
i.i many lands, at last have found
home and happiness in Japan.
Anil now that Japan is of such in
tense and immediate interest to the
United States, new interest will doubt
less be uiven to the works of Ilcarn,
the most sympathetic interpreter of
Jnpnn to the western world.
"Japan; An Attempt at Interpreta
tion" is a serious study of Japanese
life, character, politics and religion.
Hut the little stories, essays and
sketches scattered through the other
volumes nre no less illuminating.
No superficial attempt to Judge the
standards of thu cast by thoao of the
west enn give, any real insight into
the workings of Japanese or Chinese
minds. Ilearh, who lived so many
years among the Japanese, who taught
Krglish literature to hundreds of Jap
anese school and college students, did
perhaps more than anyone else
sinking passenger and hospital ships,1
secret agreements with the Irish nnd'
the Flemish, the smuggling of exp)o-
wives, discuse bacilli and incendiary in-j
strurnents into neutral countries and.
everywhere bribery, fraud and theft."
All this, he says, Is but a part of i
the account the allies have to present,
to Germany. The Germans must ac
knowledge its justice, in all i-articu-:
lars where it is just, instead ot crying
out defiantly against it. They must
also do their best to convince tho
world of the honesty of their revolu
tionary movement, which so many for
eigners regard as a fraud, and to per
suade the allies that Germany really
places her hopes on the abandonment
of militaristic ambitions and the ere
tion of n world of pence,
This, indeed, Is the way of salvation
for the German people, and the only
jway.
Rescuine Fish in Iowa
Brings Big Returns
The headline "Millions of Fish Are
Paved in Iowa" arrests the attention.
That state is not ordinarily famed for
its fish industry.
Nevertheless, It is reported that
more than 17,000,000 fish hawo been
saved through the United States Fish
rescue stations, in Iowa alone, since
tho month of August.
During the highwatcr seasons of
the Mississippi grent numbers of fish
go Into quiet waters out of the main
channel to spawn. As the floods abate
and the dry season advances, these
fish nro left in landlocked pools nnd
ponds. They have.no means of egress
to running wnter. They become more
and more crowded as the pools grow
smaller, and those that survived the
other difficulties would freeze t'i
death in the winter if they were not
rescued. The rescue crews seine thu fish and
transfer them to running streams.
Some of them have neen used to re-
