The Improvement club had not heard of nny change In tho multiplication tables, nor of any recent discoveries in addition, sub traction or division necessitating fundamental changes In the teaching of Arithmetic.

Car dinal Mercier arrived today on tho transport Northern Pacific. Belgium's beloved spiritual prince,. guardian of the welfare of 2,500,000 ( Roman Catholics In the little king dom whose first fierce resistance stayed the German avalanche. Car dinal Desideratus Mercier, was born ion November 22, 1851, in Drama ,1.4 11 1 !!, , iu Aiieuu, a viuuge oiny a lew miles from famous Waterloo. Typical of the heroism of King Albert's countrymen, this physically frail but Intellectually powerful prelate of the church, stirred tho whole world to admiration of hl3 courage when, on the first war Christmas, In 1914, with Germans everywhere in Belgium, he issued, his famous pastoral letter, denounc- esvar, Including Generals Koch and Schoch. AIR ROUTES FORMED. Japan's ever growing population is ling the invader and urging his peo-. made by a writer in the Herald of Asia, a conservative Japanese weekly Journal. Tho writer contends Japan is bound to expand territorially as sho Is expanding in population. Point ing out that the population has more than doubled In the last fifty years, being now over 57,000,000, ho esti mates that at the same rate of in crease tho population will in another fifty years have reached 114,000,000.

MENDING IT!! tion whether America intends to keep out Japanese emigrants and still hold tho Philippines permanently. If not, whv should she not some day sell them to Japan? He adds: '-Having clsred her own doors to tho Japanese, this would be a gracious act on her part and one that would bft but nnl urally expected from a country boast ing of so much philanthropy and Christian altruism." As for the Dutch East Indies tho article contends tho Inhabitants are moro akin to tho Japanese than to Holland and that Japan could admin ister tho islands with greater bene fit on the whole to the people and to horsolf than could Holland which, moreover, is a sinnll country untroub led with surplus population. It is pointed out also that tho I Dutch East Indies form the southern j line of Japan's dofences and that moro than once tho independenco of those islands has made them a men ace to her safely. After remarking thnt the Japancso do not liko to settle in cold climates like Hokkaido or Siberia, tho writer cencludes: "Certainly it would bo bettor to let Japan havo them than to let them pass Into othor hands, a con tingency thnt Japan could not con tomplato. There was no surprise when Amorica purchased the Danish West Indlos. There should bo no sur prise if Japan should purchaso the Dutch East Indies. Were Japan once in command of the Sunda straits she could slacken her naval programme and feel nt ease both as to dofencos nnd population for all time to come."

The surrender of the remain der ot the Kolchak southern army Is expected. plo to resist in these werds: Defies Germany "Germany has violated her oath.. Wo can neither number our dead, nor compute the measure of our ruins. Occupied provinces are not,--conquered provinces. The authority of the invader is no lawful author--. ity. Therefore, in soul and in con- science you owe it neither respect, attachment nor obedience." Later ,In protesting against the., deportation of the Belgians for forced labor, he threatened Germany with,., "tho reprobation of the civilized' world, the judgment of history and, tho chastisement of God." Fifteen thousand copies of the cardinal's letter were seized and de- stroyed, tho printer was arrested and fined and the brave priest waa4 kept a prisoner in his palace by order of General von Blsslng "untll a retraction of the pastoral had been. signed." The cardnal not only re fused to retract his statements but became oven more defiant. V Persecuted During War " He was given his liberty, finally, and cantinued to use his voice and-, pen against tho "mailed fist" In crys tallizing world opinion against tho Central Powers. All during tho war, j however, ho was subjected to petty persecutions and his secretary and othor aides were thrown into Jail. Ho went through the bombardments of Antwerp and Mallnes and braved tho perils of the common soldier. Cardinal Merclor comes of a dis tinguished family, other members of which have won honors in tho church. Ono uncle, tho Rt. Rev.
