To Complain
The Skagway public school debating:
society decided yesterday aftertJOOQ
that the Indian has greater cause for
conplaiot against the white racs in
A nerica than has the negro. The
question was ably debated and the de
decision reached by a narrow margin.
The question was stated as follows :
"Resolved, that the Indians of Amer
ica have been oppressed more by the
white race than have the negroes,"
Miss Fay Stinebaugh, assisted by
John Lomtnel, conducted the affirma
tive, and Mis* Alma McBrien champi
oned the cause of the sons of Ham.
There were no judges and the deci
sion was left to the house, which di
vided equally. The president oast the
deciding vote for the affirmative.
Ia addition to the debate there was
an interesting program. Miss Ethel
Black and D. N\ Hukill recited; Miss
Viola Myrick gave a vocal solo, and
Miss Kthel Weste a piano solo.
The subject for debate next week is
the following resolution :
"Resolved, that the president should
be elected by the popular vote of the
people instead of by the electoral col
lege, as is now the case."
M!ss Emma Boone, assisted by Miss
Ida Dillon and Willie Ward, will charn
I pion the affirmative, and Chester Pul
len. assisted by Miss Ethel Black and
Frank Doree will urge the continuation

Why a. Japanese
Boy Went to War
[Original]
While acting us newspaper cor
respondent wltli the Japanese Jinny In
Manchuria I mot u young oiliccr oc
cupying u very Important position on
the stuff of one of the generals who
looked better fitted for the schoolroom
than for war. I asked him how one so
young happened to come to the "front'"
and attain such high rank in the serv
ice, and he told me the followlug
story:
Six months ago I entered our mili
tary school, which I li n e been tolil
was modeled on your sch ml at West
Tolnt The boys I found there were
ail very young, because nil the older
ones had been prematurely graduated
and sent up here, the vacancies being
tilled by youngsters like myself. The
otlicers on duty, too, were very youn
Coming from the country anil not of
the samurai, or, military, class, I know
nothing about the army regulations,
scarcely realizing the difference be
tween an otHccr and a cadet. Indeed,
at the school there was not much dif
ference. some of the instructors hav
ing been made canet oilieers after a
year's study and put lu as drill mas
ters. One of them, L'euienant Ishi
mura, a beardless boy. put on a great
many uirs and took speci.l pVasuiv
In doing so toward v.e. I was very
patient under his strictures, but at
last they became unbearable, and I
rebelled, lie kept up a perpetual
sneer at my marching In the drill
squad, and, noticing, or affecting to
notice, that I curried my belly forward
Instead of my chest, he siru I; nie In
the former, causiug me great pain.
I'nder the impulse of resentment at
the unjust treatment 1 knocked him
down.
Mr act was mutiny, and mutiny is
punishable with death, but Ishimura
had no right to punch uie as he hail
done and was puzzled to know what
to do iu the matter. After eonsulta- 1
tion with several of his brother officers
he decided t*> tea eh me a lesson by
means of a bluff. That night I was
taken out of bed and marelieil silently
to a room where sat about a table
several cadet officers who proceeded
to try me for mutiny. They played
their parts so well that I was complete
ly deceived. Wheu at tile e melusiou I
was convicted and scutonred to be
shot, I had no doubt t! it the court
was bona tide and the >? : :? m would
really be carried <>".t. T!i ? liy thi-i^r
about It that surprised me v..:- tb it I
was to be taken at once t > a w.> > ! near
the academy and ex. -ic I. 1 begg'il
for time to write a letter to my par
ents, giving my rea .us f ? the di<graee
I had brought on the family and bid
ding them farewell. No attention was
paid to my request, and. having been
placed iu the center of half a dozen
cadets, I was marched out of the bar
racks. Every now and again some one
of the ooys who were evidently thrown
out as scouts would fall back to re
port something ahead. Then one would
halt and wait. I did not know at the
time what they were doing, but learned
It all afterward. The wood was
reached without serious interruption
and I was placed at the center of an
opening iu the trees. The cadets were
drawn up as a tiring squad, and I was
asked If I had atiythiug to say before
being executed.
"Only," I replied, "that Lieuteuaut
Ishimura is a coward or he would give
me an opportunity to tight him on
equal grounds before I die."
There was a consultation in whispers,
and I was told that Ishimura would
meet me. We were given swords and
set to work. Ishimura had considered
me easy to disarm, which would end
the contest, but while he was trying
only to disarm me I was trying to kill
him before being shot. My situatiou
gave me au unnatural strength and
rapidity of movement. Making a des
perate lunge, I pierced his sword arm,
rendering it for the time being use
less.
The youngsters, who were in . the
wrong from the beginning, were
thrown by this Into deeper water. Aft
er a hurried consultation I wa< placed
again before the firing party and told
that my second offense of wounding
an officer was worse than the first and
I was to be shot at once. I was so
pleased at the punishment I had given
my tormentor that I felt comforted.
Taking a cigarette from my pocket I
lighted it and smoked while the firing
party were loading their gnus. When
they raised them and aimed at me I
puffed away, thinking that I was tak
ing my last smoke. The order to fire
was given, there was a flash in my
face and? I stood unharmed. The guns
had been londed with blank cartridges.
"Gentlemen," said the superintend
ent of the academy; stepping from be
hind n tree, "this farce has gone far
enough. Lieutenant Isliimura, go to
your quarters under arrest As to
you," addressing me, "It Is not expect
ed that you should so soon understand
subordination, and you have shown
natural qualities of a soldier that
make your presence at the front de
sirable. Tomorrow I shall send you to
my friend General N., who I have no
doubt will find use for your soldierly
abilities."
IT be had simply done as he said I
should have been well pleased with
the result, but the next day when we
were drawn up on parade he hobbled
out on to the ground? he was minus
an arm and a leg lost In Manchuria?
and, calling me to step to tli? front,
reviewed my case, censured nil who
had been connected with my mock
trial and execution, then pronounced
me a graduate (which meant that I
was a second lieutenant), aud ordered
me to prowed at once to the front.
Befure I left he presented me with a
letter t>) General X., who at once ap
points me a member of his staff.
