IDEALS OF JAPAN
AND OF STATES
CLEVELAND, O., Sept. 7 —.Jnpar
has the same ideals as those to which
America is dedicated, declared Tsuti
ejiro Miyaoka of Yokohama in at
address he delivered before the an
mia! meeting of the American Hat
Association. "We stand for the right;
of humanity." he added. Mr. Miyaoki
b rmorly was Charge d'Affaires ant
ci unsellor of the Japanese embassy ir
Washington and is regarded as om
in the prominent lawyers of Japan.
"In this great war," continued Mr
Mikaoka, "it is whispered here ant
ihere whether Japan has not mis
placed herself in siding with the Al
lies against the Central Empires o;
Europe. When President Wilson de
clared that this was a war of democ
racy versus autocracy, manifestly he,
did n ' mein that tills was a war of I
ri pul.Uranism versus monarchism. The
■ people of the United States are the
last people on earth to deny another
j people the right to choose for them
| selves that form of government which
! the latter thinks is best adapted to
themselves. Is not Germany's denial
to some of the unfortunate people
under her sway of the right to choose
their own sovereignty, one of the
crimes which we hold against her?
The United States went into the war
because the German warfare against
commerce was a challenge to all man
kind It is for the vindication of hu
j man right that this nation is stirred
, to the core.
"When it is suggested that Japan
| i;. misplaced in this war because this
I is a war of democracy against nion- j
archy, I see the subtle working of
German propaganda. Germany is de-j
termined that Japan and the United
States shall not bo friends; Germany
' today is sowing the seeds of mistrust
between us with the same inslstance
that has marked her activity in that
direction ever since Japan has be
■ come a factor to be considered In the
politics of the world. If you will re
call with what punctilious observance
of the rules of civilized warfare Jap
an fought her wars of 1894-5 and
1904-5. and if you will consider the
| manner in which we safeguard the
civil liberty of our people at home,
you will perceive that we place jus
tice and right over material prosper
ity and military efficiency, or achieve
ments in science and in art.”
Mr. Miyaoka explained the provi
sions of the Japanese constituion and
legal procedure in Japan and assert
ed, "we do things in Japan much in
the same way as you do in this
country.
"Japan has the same ideals to which
| you arc dedicated. We stand for the
j rights of humanity If in this brief
, address I have made clear to you
some of the fundamental principles on
i which our legislation is based, if 1
| have shown that the Japanese people
are not the kind of people to quietly
submit to the invasion of their rights
| o’ the curtailment of personal liberty,
1 I may congratulate myself on having
i contributed something towards the
1 better understanding between our two
i countries,"

NEW YORK, Sept 7.—Open con
fossion of (ierman plundering of Bel- tt
in in and of plans to continue it were tt
made at a meeting of the German
Economic Commission for Belgium at
Brussels June 19, 1915. A German
official report of this meeting has just r,
now come into possession of the Bel- tt
glan government and has been made
public here by the British Wireless "I
Service. j1
Governor General von Hissing stat
ed at the meeting that the shortage —
of raw materials in Belgium was part- £;
ly due to the fact that they were car- p
ried sway at the beginning of the
war. Thousands of machines, he said,
had been transported to Germany to -y
make war munitions.
Von B'ssion said that he had two £
aims, the good of Belgium and the:
prevention of any revival of Belgian
industry which could harm German
industries. He explained his solid- 5
tude fo- the good of Belgium by add- ;X
ing that "a squeezed lemon loses its d;
value and a bad cow gives no milk." x
NO-MAN’S LAND
The raging battle was over.
The Huns were in retreat;
We Allies had tasted glory
our enemies, bitter defeat.
We were wretched, cold and tired. jx
Exhausted, weary and wet;
But we thanked God with grateful
hearts 1 F
That lie had spared us yet.
1 was wounded and bleeding x
l-'rom an ugly gash in my side,
But 1 knew before the morning light x
In the Red Cross tent I'd abide.
Weakened and full of pain. x
I sank in a troubled doze;
Kind fairies bro't me a happy dream X
When they saw my eyelids close. ! F
The dearest voice in the world
Was singing of love to me! x
The war was over I was home.
With baby Jack on my knee.
A hero 1 was telling all.
While my sonny listened to me;
His mother, leaning 'gainst my heart.' x
Was singing of love to me!
I felt such sweet contentment.
My heart with joy did leap.
When suddenly, in sore dismay,
I saw my loved ones weep!
I woke in awful anguish
In the dark and cold and wet:
Then I knew ’twas but a dream
in wmcn we mre«* «mn .
I i:
I For there in the smoke tilled Ida h
ness
1 lay mong the dying and dead.
A mangled body beneath me;
Heaped all about me the dead •:
There was no voice—no song— :j
No loved one held my hand;
Home was as far as ever.
And I was in No Man's Hand!

Aged French women in the village*

SEATTLE NIVAL ARCHITECT !
DESIGNS NEW WOOD SHIP
SEATTLE, Sept. 7. Members of
the Seattle Shipbuilders’ Association
are hopeful that the shipping board
shortly will adopt a new and larger
type of wood ship, designed prartl
cally entirely by L. E. ("Ted") Geary, I
a Seattle naval architect attached to 1
the new shipping board stafT. i
The Geary type, keels for two ves
sels of which have been laid at the
plant of the I’uget Sound Bridge and
Dredging Company, calls for a vessel
of 5.4oo tons dead weight, giving the
ship a cargo carrying capacity of very
close to 4,000 tons. The ship will
have a Hush deck, with a low super-)
structure, designed to decrease her)
visibility. The plans call for a craft I
I
130 feet over all, a beam of 40 feet
IVj inches, and a molded depth of
!9 feet.
The most unsatisfactory feature
ibout other types of wood ships, ac
■ordlng to government statements,
las been their small cargo capacity,
unounting to only about 2.300 tons
n the largest.
