OLD-TIME METHODS STILL BEING USED I IN LAND OF JAPAN By Clarence Axman, t 'Written for the United Press.) - NEW YORK. Dec. 20. At the end of a 17 day voyage from here we ar rived off Yokahoma. There weren't any battleships In sight; nothing but a million little boats called sampans, looking as though they had sailed out of old prints we saw in school. At long intervals a motor boat pass ed, a clumsy affair seeming to have ta lot of engine trouble. At the customs house, ready to lake us to the hotel, were five rick shaws and two automobiles, the lat ter of the type around which center all the joke. The trip to the hotel was an eye opener. We looked about for horses, but didn't see any as all Vehicles are drawn by men, occas-J sionaily relieved by a sleepy team : of oxen. On several corners were men in ! smart looking uniforms, carrying swords. Ah, our first glimpse of the army we thought, but they were po licemen. As .we rode through the streets we strained our eyes looking for the western ideas the Japanese have been appropriating so Indust riously, but they were not In sight. Little boys were playing ball in their wooden clogs; women with unfast ened kimonas walked through the streets indifferent to the gaze of the western eyes; men carried the skirts of their kimonas up to their waists so the edges would not be muddled by the streets. Tiny shops were ev. erywhere. All through the day we looked for western ideas, but we say only two; a member of the court dressed In a silk hat of 1898 vintage and a shab by Prince Albert coat that came to his knees. That night we read In a Yokahoma paper that the govern ment desired to show the Japanese aeroplane and that one was being carried throughout Japan for exhi bition In various cities. . It would be In Yokahoma the following day. We decided instead of viewing the lone aeroplane to take a trip to Kam ikura, the fashionable watering re sort, and see as much of rural Japan on the way as we could in six hours. We started at 8 o'clock next morn ing, and two minutes after we had passed the city limits of Yokahoma we were in the middle of ages. Ev ery man and woman was working in the rice fields or on a farm with im plements which their ancestors had used for centuries. Villages were neat, tidy affairs. without factories. The only western ideas we saw during the morning i were picture postcaiM stands and ! American cigarettes. We tried to' smoke some of the hitter, but Jap- j anese matches are for ornamental purposes only. When the automobiles passed lit tle children the only sign of future soldiers they waved their hands and shouted "Banzai.". We were told that when the motor cars first put in an appearance the children threw stones at them. One day the em peror gave a decree to school prin cipals, asking children to wave their bands and shout a greeting of wel come to passing tourists in motor cars. This was read in all schools in Japan. The emperor's merest wish is law. Overnight the hostility dis appeared, and now when you ride in an auto down a, country lane In Japan you feel as a king must In riding through the streets of an European capital. JS'ot seeing any Japanese peril in a country of agriculturalists and small shop-keepers, we decided to go to the city billed as the "Chicago of Japan," where we must certainly see the thousands of plants that at a moment's notice could be turned into ammunition factories. But again we were dlsupoiiited.'' It looked more like Muncie, Indiana. WASHINGTON, Dec. 20, The heavy cost of the urcaldont'a Mimi cal! policy when tho figures are pre sented to congress will astonish tltut body, in view of the lack of accom plishment that hus attended the ex penditure. The effort to canture Villa dead or alive and prevent that entorprlsing' murderer from ravaging the border of the United States has already cost more than J 100,000,000. These fig ures are not olllcial because tho nd- , ministration is withholding alt In formation respecting the high cost of experimenting along tho lines or peaceful intervention with armed forces. But they ore rellublo, not i withstanding, and the oxnonso Is In- creasing daily. It is also known that the cost In otlleers and men to the regular army and the militia has been much heav ier than the war department Is will ing to admit. Ofllccrx Klllcl or Doubled.

Investigation has revealed the names of 20 olTtcers of the reg ular army retired from service for disability between May 23 and Oc tober 11. Ten otlleers have been killed in ac tion or have died from the effects of wounds or disease In Mexico and on the border since May 14. In the national guard 459 officers were allowed to resign for various causes, after they reached the bor der. Of these 117 were Dhvslcallv disabled. 'The remainder were al lowed to resign because tbey had families dependent upon them. The states in which there were the great est number of resignations were New York 85. Illinois 26, Alabama 26.

Altogether the figures Indicate that conditions affecting the health and welfare of tho troops In Mexico and on the border, were considerably worse than represented by the war department. Army officers say that i tne percentage of physical disability is "rather high" for troops not act ually engaged In warfare. 4 Kxpctlitlon (.'out 913.000,000., The extraordinary expenditures on the Pershing expedition alone have now reached a total of $15, 000,007, the greater purt of this amount hav ing been spent on additional equip ment and the establishment and maintenance of a line of communi cation that once reached 4400 miles Into Mexico. More than $60,000,000 has been expended ,on the mobilization and equipment of the national guard, and several large items are still unac counted for. Army officers say that $100,000,000 Is a conservative esti mate of the outlay on the punitive ex pedition and the defense of the bor der since the Columbus raid lust March. - The Vera Cru expedition, which failed to compel Huerta to salute the flag cost $12,000,000, and after that the government spent several millions more in getting Americans out of Mexico. With conditions In North ern Mexico getting worse instead of better, there Is no telling wlen there will be a reduction of the A .rent nat of Mexican anarchy to the American people. The cost of malntalnl tiff nonpi ulth Mexico for the last 10 months has been greater than wna the .nui -.r constructing the Panama Canal dur ing any similar period of time. If the present rate of expenditure con tinues, tho peace policy will have noBt more than the Panama Cannl.
