JAPAN AND THE PHIIIFPIXES'
Reports from the Philippines iQ* j
d'cate the emergence there of a
pro-Japanese party, which is rising
to follow Japan in an "Orient for)
the Orient " policy, says the Chris
tian Science Mon'tor. Adherents of
tt-is party are in some cases able
.aj long-time advocates of national
independence an-1 revolt against the
United States; and In other'
Instances they are men who have
been chiefly conspicuous for cham
pionship of Pan-Orientalism. But
only recently have any considerable
number of educated aud prominent1
Filipinos shown an inclination to
affiliate with a movement which has'
its organ;zing headquarters in Ja
pan and tarries on an educational
propaganda in islands of the l'a- I
cific 'hat now are in European aud
Am»r'can hands. That this primacy
o' Ja pan should now be so freely |
assorted and assented to by any con
sidtnable number of the Filipinos
indicates the change that has gone
on si:ice Japan defeated Russia,
won Great Britain us an ally, and j
foujht in a war in which it took j

been assumed that thfo results of
Spii.ish a:.d America:, costa'.-t
the natives would induce alignment
with western rather thai, with east
ern peoples. Now Filipinos are ev i
deutlv r.sir.g to challenge that as
sumption, to array themselves
definitely with Japanese and to join
with other Asiatics in a distinctive
ly Asiatic renaissance. They are
calling for mediating persons who
will travel ai.d lecture and bring
knowledge of the Oriental nations
oi'e tc the other. They expect to
summon conferences which will
really be what their name implies.
Tcey plan to use the press freely,
and tc put civic experts out la

KNIGHTS OF GREEN CLOTH
.VIIE PASSING THROUGH
Dawson News, Sept. 1: Some who
are in touch with the birds of pas
sage report that quite a number of
nimble fingered card sharps have
b*en passing through Dawson of
late headed for the camps on the
Alaskan side of the boundary, where
they hope to make a winter cleanup.
Some of the gamblers are said
to be coming north for the reason
t.icv have heard there is easy iro
iug in the Tan aim and tho Kovu
kuk camps, and that tho man with
a surething game is sure to have
plenty of suckers bite at his littio
tricks. On the other hand, the
nurd times outside and the tight
ness of money have mado the fields
there none too verdant for the poker
•ind blackjack artists.
It is understood the "cleanup"
experts are tarrying »o longer in
Damson than they hare to, as it
is reported the camp was pretty
well cleaned up by Whitohorse, Ju
jieau et al. on tho bull game, and
there are too many eyes open and
toe many strong arms of tho law
in'waiting about tho metroplia for
the gentlemen of industry to hope
to operate hero with any profit.
kovukuk is Said to bo tho ob
jective of some of tho gamblers,
and Tolovana may attract a number
Fairbanks has had her share, but
sil'.ie she continues on tlio pay
streak and tho police down there
are not any too swift and have no
funds for traveling, it is said some
of * iio five-ace nabobs may try that
camp for a sesison.
Ruby, Marshall City, Iditarod and
Xoaie are turning loose some gold
iltist this season, and the mystic
knights may open business in thoso
quarters.
Lux is just the thing for doing
a little laundering while traveling.

asked helplessly.

if I wouldn't go to a business broker
who then would I go to—a bartender?"
"Never mind!" Mr. Shimko exclaim
