S. Special interest was attached tit the words of Premier Teraehi thai Japan and tho Putted States wore on the eve of joining their resources in chastening tho common obdurate foe. It is understood that Japan will fur nish what material is possible to the Pniled States, including ships. Count Terauchi emphasized what ho termed 'Mho conspicuous fact in history that Japan owes the greatest debt of gratitude to the I'uited States in formulating tier national policy of energetic, program and international intercourse." Ho milled: "Tho wonderful progress in means of communication has so narrowed tho distance of the great Pacific ocean thai we are like closest neigh bors on either side of a little liver.

"V1SCOI NT KANKKO. "President." to London Professor Dolmer, in his article, expresses astonishment at the abund ance of food tavicabs and horses In London, as compared with those In Berlin. He ridicules the grumblers he has met hero, who have complain ed of the shortage and costliness of food. "They have no Idea," says Pelmer, "how ridiculous such grievances sound to any one coming from a land on the verge of hunger, if not actual starvation. The consumption of food in Germany Is now reduced to a point below which it cannot go without dis aster to public health.' Neertheless, the writer adds, the people in Germany manage to get along and. nltuought they grumble a great deal, they do not dream of giv ing in or slackening their efforts. He says it would he utterly misleading to think that any Herman collapse is in sight. llr CAPITAL $100,000.
