BY III SIBLEY.
(Starf Special.)
TOKIO, Japan, July 21. Wine,
women and song nre offering quick
notion for war time riches in Japnn.
In this hcydcy of unusunl .vros
pcrily the J upn for n thrifty
nation, arc spending money with u
prodigal hand.
Drink is almost universal. Willi
their light diet of fish and lice, the
nntivcsj however, cannot lake us
much intoxicant ns moat -eating west
erners nnd still retain equilibrium.
Four or five of the liny cups of
sake, or rice wine, which is the na
tional stimulant nnd served hot, pro
dnco n potent effect. Ono Or two
bottles of beer, nnother popular bev
erage, bring nbout like results.
The rich indulge freely nt their
sumptuous banquets nnd the poorer
classes on their holidays.' During
the cherry blossom season there is
much drunkenness in the public
pnrks and numerous tea house dis
tricts. It is utmost invariably good
nntiircd intoxication and ono rarely
sees a display of ugly nnlure.
The picturesque Geisha girl is the
greatest extravagance in Nippon, for
her entertainment involves much ex
lense. Her position is peculiar,
probnbly without parallel in any
other country.
Primarily she is ' n public enter
tniner, trained from childhood to
dunce, sinjj, and make herself gener
ally agreeable to men. She is nol
necessarily virtuous, but this is no
discredit from the Japanese view
point. A mnn may go to a ten house for
tiffin. After two. or three cups of
sake he will desire n' vivacious .-oin-pnnion.
A Geisha irl is ordered
from a nearby stalion. ready to dis
play her accomplishments in the fine
art, of pleasing. Thus the money
joes. The easy "tea house habit"
is so seductive nnd' convenient thnt
ii lias caused the ruin of many prom
ising young business men. '
Tho Geishas range in ago from 10
to 20. Koch bus her particular ac
complishments. The very young
girls arc limited to dancing nnd sing
ing, but the older ones nre versed
in rcpnrleo and playing ihe koto nnd
samiscn.
At elaborate banquets, which fig
ure so prominently in "Tokyo high
collar" life, a (icisliu girl is usually
provided for Iho entertainment of
each guest. The fees of Ihe highest
class Geishas from the Sliimbashi
district require a heullhy purse to
satisfy.
Then there nre girls of the "Yo.-hi-warn,"
who must not be confused
with the Oeislins, since they nre reg
istered officially. F.vety city has ils
Yoshiwnra girls. In Tokyo are sev
eral hundreds of these women kepi
virtual prisoners iu ornate quarters.
The status of these unfortunate
women is tragic. Obedience nnd
filial devotion lire the Japanese wo
man's first duly, nnd she does what
she is ordered to do without ques
tion. If n father or brother, who as
sumes Iho bead of Hie house upon
the death of his father, should get
inlo debt or desire lo borrow money
tti set himself up in bn-Mness, he
may put his daughter or sUtov iu the
Yoshiwnra as security lor n loan.
The girl may slay Ihcrc Iwo or
throe years - or for life.
With much singing nnd daneinu.
with red-lipped bounties ami with
virulent wine the war-weullliy Jap
anese is spending bis vn,-t pro! its
with a prodigal hand.

visiting her sister, Mrs. Paul Manor,

PRESIDENT MAY TAKE
" ' ' ' HAND IN SHIP ROW
' WASHINGTON, July 2 1.' Tho ship
building row showed evidence of lm
portiint'dovelopments beneath the
slirfnco today and there were persis
tent reports that Major General
Goethals, manager of the fleet cor
porntion, had asked President Wilson
to relieve him of his duties.
General Goethals declined to dis
cuss the reports and at the white
houso it was said President Wilson
knew nothing about them.
Chairman Dcnman and tho ship
ping board have had differences with
General Goethals. Dospito the re
ports, however, there were indications t
that the shipping board and Genera!
Goethals were nearer together than at
any timo since tho- disagreement
arose.
Tho suggestion was made that Pre
sident Wilson may have refused to
consider General Goethals' resigna
tion and intervened to settle Iho con
troversy. General Goethals has an
early morning engagement for tomor
row to soo Mr. Dcnman.
The reports of General Goethals'
request to bo relieved . of the. ship

credence in high official circles and
the silence of whito house officials
was attributed by some io a desire lo
