JAPANESE YELLOW PERIL Developing the Brave. The child is given every possible en couragement to play and is never whipped by his parents, because it is the Indian’s philosophy that whipping breaks the spirit of the child and the Indian ambition is to be brave and self-reliant. It is a fact that though the Indian child Is not subject to cor poral punishment and the ruder forms of discipline which white children are often made to endure, they are rever ent, obedient, docile and extraordina rily respectful toward their parents and seniors. It Is the Spartan quality which the mother and father strive to develop in their boys. HON. EKI HIOKI Secretary of the Japanese Embassy, attitude of that nation in her future industrial and commercial life. Mr. Hloki lays special emphasis upon the frank and authoritative disavowals of the frequently-reported) ambition of Japan to absorb the Philippine Islands for her own people. “For the sake of argument.” said Mr. Hioki, "laying aside entirely lor the moment consideration of the mo tive of Japan regarding the present subject, let me ask you a question.

Would Mean Gigantic War. “Ami who can bet <*r understand that spirit of the Americans than the Japanese? Therefore, if Japan har bored such a sinister design as is at tributed to her, she must be prepared to plunge in a war far more gigantic than the one just ended against a na tion to which alie owes much that she is to-day and to whose people she owes that moral and financial support so unreservedly given at the most critical period In her history. No, the Philippines are not worta the sac rifice of such a valuable friendship as that of America and the enormous losses In men and money which such a war would necessarily entail. Nor is Japan in a position to carry on an other costly war, but for self-defense. For Open Door in China. “The increased prestige of Japan turned the eyes of the world toward the problem of what influence Japan will wield over China.

CRUSADE HEADED BY PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT TO PREVENT FOREST FAMINE AND FLOOD RAVAGE. RICHARD HAMILTON BYRD. Reserving forests in the west from monopolization for private gain is a government policy with which tlie ; h - o - ple have become somewhat familiar, our national forest reserves amounting now to nearly sixty million acres; but the idea of applying tills principle to the older forests ill the eastern states may be new to some people and yet is becoming a prominent one.
