Such Is View of Michigan Man Who

WASHINGTON, March 18. "Tho
etrifo of industrial competition is the
only war which the United States
will have cnuso to wajjo on Japan."
This is tho view of Representative

"War that is, martial war is, in
say opinion," said ho today to tho
United Press, "only remotely poa
iblo between the United States and
Japan. Fronting each, as wo do,
Don tho Pacific, tho commercial
battleground of tho future, striving
each for tho same vast markets, we

and Japan soon will be, must be, if
eho 'is ito survive in this industrial
age. Surely it does not follow that,
because we are both trying to bhild
the engines, clothe tho bodies and
feed the months of hungry Asia, we
must fight, any more tliau we have
fcad -to, or bhall have to, fight our
commercial rivals, Canada, England
and Germany.
"Believing deeply in tho wisdom
and statesmanship of tho government
at Toldo, I have novor feared that
the question of immigration alone
could embroil our two nations. Ja
pan does not want her people to em
igrate in largo numbers. In fact, for
many cjutnrics to leave Japan, or,
having left it, to return, was punish
able by death. While all this is
modified by modern conditions, still
I do uot believe the government yet
wants its bono and sinew, its indus

land. "And so, when it appeared that

WASHINGTON, March 18. The
senate committee investigating tho
cost of living hold a short open ses
sion this afternoon and then sat in
secret session for 15 minutes.
Edward Hall, a grocerj-man of
Washington, who, starting in 1895
with a cash capital of $2000, has
built up a business of $100,000 a
year on a basis of u per cent net
testified:
"A family of five can livo plainly
and well in Washington with a gro
cery and provision bill of $30 a
month, exclusive of milk and ice, and
have meat twice a day.
"Prices have advanced on many
nrticles in tho time I have been sell
ing groceries. Tho big advances
have been in pork nnd poultry. These
are selling at practically double what
they did ten years ago.
"The advance on beef and lambs
has been abont 15 per cent. Tho ar
tides that havo not advanced are
canned goods, except canned meat
and fish, nnd vegetables. Fruits arc
slightly higher.
"One thing the public doesn't un
derstatid is that we aro paying more
at wholesale for many grades of
goods thnt are ntill sold at the same
old price. This is true of packago
cereals. Every now and then tho
manufacturers advance the whole
sale price, bnt they don't change the
published retail price on tho package
tho same old dimo."
S. K. Harrison of Baltimore pro
duced bills from wholesalers which
showed a constant increase since
1892, with occasional variations.
Tho committeo announced that it
would hardly sit again this week.

becauso of different standards of
living which wore almost certain to
provoke ill-feeling and perhaps con
flicts, should stay away for the best
interests of both peoples, the To km
government nt once took the sound
and friendly course of keeping those
people at home. It
there is small clfance of that ques
tion being niado the further cause of
irritation between two countries that
havo so many reasons to be freinds,
and none for being enemies.
"War talk will do for some, but
not not for those who know Nippon
and her people. We ought to know
Japan better. I believe Senator
Boot, when secretary of state, once
said the better two peoples knew one
another the less chance of their
fighting, and I subscribe to thnt sen
timent." i

conference today with Assistant
Secretary Wilson of the stnte de

that France, Germany and tho Unit

suggestion which would be made to
Great Britain looking to the removal
of objections which she had made to
a final settlement respecting th6 di

The difficulty which Great Britain
finds to an agreement respecting the

The officials express tho view thnt

The case and convenience with which so
many delicious dishes may be prepared in an
electrical chafing dish make a strong appeal to the
young wife as well 39 the seasoned housekeeper,
She has found that a dialing dish affords not
only a quick and economical means of preparing
impromptu repasts, but also that it enables her to
prepare on the dining room table many dishes that supplement and
round out the bill of fare previously prepared on the kitchen stove,
If you do not possess one of these useful articles, or arc using one
of tiic old style alcohol burners, come in and sec the new General Elec
tric chafing dish. No fuel is required, consequently there is no flame,
smoke or soot to guard against. It can be used in any room where un
electric lamp socket is available. It is sanitary, convenient and safe.
It is handsomely designed and finished, and makes an ideal gift,
