Solidarity of Anglo-Japanese Al
liance Declared to Depend on
Strength of Empire Mission
to Be Fulfilled.
' TOKIO. Japan, Oct. 30. (Correspond
ence of the Associated Press.) A
larger army and more ships for the
navy were recommended by Count
Okuma, the Prime Minister, at a meet
ing' of the governmental parties called
to arrange their programme for the
Imperial Diet, which will assemble De
cember 5.
The forthcoming session of the Diet
promises to be of more than usual in
terest, for the Okuma Cabinet, as a
Cabinet of the minority parties, must
expect to meet some opposition (from
the Seiyukai, or Conservative party,
which controls the majority of the
aeats In the House of Representatives.
Two New Divisions Wanted.
The Okuma programme, as outlined
at the meeting of his political friends,
calls for two more - divisions in the
army.
! "After careful consideration of the
problem of national defense from the
viewpoints of diplomacy and finance,"
said the Premier, "the Ministry has
come to the conclusion that the inter
national situation does not permit the
postponement of an increase In the
army."
The Premier admitted that the great
er part of the money saved by econ
omies effected in recent - years which
had been Intended for home undertak
ings has had to be used for war pur
poses. Nevertheless, the Cabinet fa
vored two more divisions In the army
and an increase in the navy.
Stronger KTy Needed, Too.
"Army increase Is 'opposed," he de
clared, "on the ground of our growing
intimacy with Russia. The ministry is
doing its best to advance this intimacy,
but this satsfactory diplomatic rela
tionship is no reason for neglecting an
expedient measure of national defense.
Also, we must remember that the soli
darity of the Anglo-Japanese alliance
depends upon the strength of this em
pire. Strong nation, as we are, ours is
a seagirt country, and an efficient navy
Is needed . to maintain our connection
with the continent and to fulfill our
mission."
Japan, he concluded, would have an
Increasingly important role to play
in world events, and all should be
united to face problems that may arise.
Inland Policy Questioned.
It Is regarded as not unlikely that
the Seiyukai opposition will interpel
late the government on the disposition
of Kiau-Chau and the islands In the
Southern Pacific, including the Caro
lines, Marianne and Marshall Islands,
which were recently occupied by Jap
anese warships in the war against Ger
many. '
Already some capital is being Invest
ed in these Islands, and experts from
the ministries of agriculture and com
merce have been sent there to study
' the question of exploitation of the ma
rine resources.
PAGANISM WARNING GIVEN
Conversion of China Only Means of
Saving World, Says Chinese Girl.
BATTLE CREEK, Mich., Nov. 20.
"Unless China is Christianized by the
rest of the world she will eventually
lead the rest of the world to pagan
Ism," declared Miss Hie Ding Lin. a
converted Chinese woman of rank, in
an address before the Interdenomina
tional Medical Missionary Conference
here today. She urged the' evangel
ization of China by native teachers, ed
ucated In mission schools.
Miss Ida M. Scudder, member of the
third generation of a widely-known
missionary family, discussed medical
missionary work among women in
India.
EASTERN COLD WAVE ENDS
Reaction Quickly Restoring Normal
November Temperatures.
' WASHINGTON, TSov. 20. The cold
wave which spread over the Southern
states last night and today, forcing
the mercury below the freezing point
and extending north to the Middle At
lantic states, had spent its force to
night and, according to forecasters at
the weather bureau, a reaction with
quick effect Is bringing higher temper
atures. Reports from Atlanta early tonight
showed a temperature of 24 degrees
prevailing there. At Jacksonville, Pia.,
it was 34; at Mobile 40, Chattanooga 24,
Memphis 34, and Charlotte, N. C, 26.
From Northern Virginia to New Erg
land nearly normal November tempera
tures will prevail tomorrow.
CHOLERA TURKEY'S ALLY
Missionary Says Disease Is as For
midable as Armies.
BATTLE CREEkT Mich:', Nov. 20
The menace of cholera constitutes a
defense of Turkey against the Rus
sians fully as formidable as the Turk
ish armies, according to Rev. George
C. Raynolds. of Van. Turkey, before
the medical missionary conference
which ended Its session here today.
Mr. Raynolds also said the possibility
of a holy war seemed remote because
of the indifference of the Moslems
generally to the alleged appeals of
the Turkish leaders.
The educational sjstem of Japan
was likened. In point of efficiency, to
the system of American schools by Dr.
Nannie R. Gaines, who lias spent many
years In mission work in Japan.'

ADVERTISING TALK NO. 11.
Why Do People Read
Advertisements?
Can you answer that question? You know they
do. You read them yourself. Advertising is news.
That's why advertisements are read. That's
why you read them. You want to keep abreast
of the times. You want to know what is new in
the world. 'Ask your wife. She wilt tell you
instantly why she reads the ads. She learns of
the new styles in dress of new foods and deli
cacies, and a world of other things.
Advertising is a sales force without a . peer.
You pay the bills. How much of your expendi
tures do you supppse is influenced directly by
advertising? Look over your monthly bills and
estimate it. Ask your wife what influenced her
to buy the articles you are paying for. "I saw
it advertised in The Oregonian." That will be
her answer almost always.
Now, if advertising in The Oregonian draws
the dollars out of j'our pocket, doesn't it stand
to reason that you could draw the dollars oatof
the pocket3 of Portland's husbands and fathers by
advertising in The Oregonian yourself?
The Oregonian will carry your message your
news into more Portland homes than any other
medium. The Oregonian thoroughly covers the
territory adjacent to Portland. Drop in and let

Product to Be Bought at Fixed Mini
mum and Profits Over Cost to
Be Distributed Inspection
and Advice Provided For.
SALEM, Or., Nov. 20. (Special.)-For
the protection of growers, to put an
end to the contracting of the product
as at present and to induce the brewers
to buy American-grown hops instead
of European hops, representatives of
associations of California, Oregon and
Washington, at a meeting here today.
decided upon the organization at once
of three corporations, one for each
state.
The meeting is considered the most
important ever held by the hopgrowers
of the United States, and action was
not taken until after consideration for
several days of various plans. For the
present, at least, the suggestion to or
ganize a Pacific Hopgrowers' Associa
tion, with amliatetd associations in
Oregon, California and Washington, has
been abandoned.
Articles - of Incorporation for the
three corporations will provide that
they are -to continue In existence at
least three years. The capital stock
of each will-be Uxed-by a board of
directors and probably will be $500,000
for the California association and 8300,
000 each for the Oregon and Washing
ton associations.
Price Guarantee Proposed.
It was further agreed:
"The corporations will adopt stand
ard and uniform contracts under which,
they will purchase the growers' hops
outright with a guarantee of a mini
mum price for his hops, graduated
downward from choice to common
qualities.
"All samples to be forwarded to cen
tral organization of each state in plain
ly numbered packages, to be graded
by experts in the employ of the asso
ciation. All disputes regarding quality
to be determined by. arbitration.
"Beside the minimum price guaran
teed the grower on his contract, he
is to receive a dividend upon all money
received as the selling price above the
minimum price paid for his hops, less
a small commission to go Into tho re
serve fund of the corporation.
"In case of different prices being re
ceived for the same grade of hops at
different times of the season, due to the
fluctuations of the market, an average
will be struck of all prices received
for all grades and growers will receive
the benefit resulting from a rise in the
market.
"Growing crops of membars of the
associations will be under the inspec
tion of regularly employed and compe
tent held Inspectors to advise the
grower of the best methods for the cul
tivation, care and harvest of bis crop
in order to realize the- highest quality
or product.
Early Organisation Planned.
"Organization will proceed as soon
as 70 per cent of growers are signed
as members and as early as possible, in
order to handle the remainder of this
year s croD.
The delegates today, tfefore reaching
a decision, conferred with the follow
ing bankers, who approved the project
ot tnree state corporations, said the
banks would give It their mora and
financial support and that It was feasi
ble in every way: H. Hirsbberg. Inde
pendence: John H. Albert, Salem: Will
iam S. Walton. Salem: J. M. Poorman
Woodburn. and S. B. Elliott. Salem. It
is thought many more bankers would
have been In attendance but for a mis
take in date having been made in the
Invitations extended them.
Hector McPherson, dean of the de
partment of political economy of the
Oregon Agricultural College, aided the
delegates in working our their plan of
organization. Others who took a prom
inent part In the proceedings were Ij. H.
AlcMahan, of Salem, who presided
George Hewlett and P. E. Bl alack, of
Hopland, Cal.; E. L. Cunningham, of

Board to Set Price.
Under the agreement reached the
minimum price to be offered the grower
wiu be fixed each year by the board of
directors of the state corporation. It
probably will not be less than 11 cents
tor choice bops, 10 cents for primes,
9 cents for mediums and 8 cents for
commons.
The corporation will sell the hops, if
possible, for a price higher than that
received by the grower, and the grower
will receive the benefit of the advance
over what he previously received, less
a commission to the corporation of half
a cent a pound to defray the expenses
of the business management. It is be
lieved that through this arrangement
demoralization of prices such as have
occurred in the past can be avoided
and that there will be less opportunity
for speculation. It is not the Intention
of tho associations to antagonize repu
tablo dealers, but It will aid them in
every way possible to maintain prices
The delegates deny any Intention of
the associations to fix arbitrary prices,
which will be governed by supply and
demand as in the past, they declare.
They hope, however, to increase the
demand by inducing the brewers of
this country to favor American-grown
hops.
BUSINESS MEN WILL QUIZ
All Residents of City Eligible to
Take Examinations- of Civil Service.
So that a civil service examination
to be held December 8 at the City Hall
to secure eligibles for the positions of
private secretaries to Commissioners
may be open to all competitors on a
fair basis, arrangements will be made
for the handling of the oral part of
the examination by a committee of
prominent business men. Members of
the Civil Service Board feel that in
asmuch as they are acquaintained with
the persons now serving as secretaries
business men should conduct the oral
part of the examination so that there
can be no suspicion of favoritism.
The oral examination will be the
most important part of the test. It
will be for the purpose of determin
ing the personality of the applicants.
The examination will be open to all
residents of the city.

TOUR PROVES REVELATION
Philadelphia Hat Maker Sees in
Coast Great Opportunity for
Growth and Compares It
With Conditions in East.
BY ADDISON BENNETT.
Jacob J. Seeds, of the hat manufac
turing firm of J. J. Seeds & Co.. Phil
adelphia, accompanied by Mrs. Seeds,
spent yesterday and the day before in
Portland, making their headquarters at
the Benson. Yesterday afternoon R, M.
Gray, the Morrison-street merchant,
took Mr. and Mrs. Seeds and the writer
on a sightseeing trip through the resi
dence and wholesale sections of the
city and then over the hills west of
town.
It would have put to flight the grav
est doubts of the stoutest pessimist
had he been along to hear the expres
sions of Mr. and Mrs. Seeds as to the
beauties they saw and their belief in
the future of Portland. Mr. Seeds
knows a good deal about the United
States. For 35 years he has been in
the hat business In Philadelphia, as
was his father for the 35 years
previous.
"Occasionally I take a trip over the
country to see the conditions at first
hand and get better acquainted with
my customers," said Mr. Seeds. I am
sorry to say I missed Portland until
last year; I will not miss it again, for
we sell much goods here. And 1 cer
tainly do like Portland. Mrs. Seeds is
also a staunch Portland booster wher
ever she goes.
"Here we are late in November. Penn
sylvania and all of the Eastern states
are in their Winter garb, water pipes
are freezing, furnaces are put to their
utmost limit to keep the buildings
warm and here yau have as beautiful
an Indian Summer day as I ever wit
nessed. Look at the lovely lawns, at
the roses In bloom, at the vines and
shrubbery In Spring garb!
