Utah Rotarian Says Japan Is Planning Invasion of Country Philadelphia, Feb. 8. —Japancso im migration into the western part of the United States constitutes a "real men ' ace," according to George O. Rolf, president of the Rotary Club of Salt Lake City, who yesterday addressed the members of the Rotary Club of Philadelphia at their weekly luncheon at the Adelphia Hotel. Glenn C. Mead was chairman of the meeting. Dr. Au- Kusi-us Koenig, president of the club, announced a ladles' night, will be held at the Bellevue-Stratford Hotel on Lincoln's Birthday. Mr. Rolf, who has made repeated efforts to have the government con struct a national highway with a con crete base largely for military pur poses. was emphatic in declaring such a highway a necessity. "The west coast is being tilled with reservists of the Japanese army," he declared. "'ln the lower part of Can ada there are more than 100,000 vet erans of the Japanese army. In the State of California alone there are more trained Japanese soldiers than the full complement of the United States Army. "There is no denying that there is a ■problem. Army and navy officers will discuss it and have. Because of re strictions from Washington-—where they went to do all of the talking— these men cannot come forward to tell the people. We have been advocating this national highway with a concrete l>ase so that one military factor might he taken care of. "The section hands of the trans continental railways in the West are largely Japanese and they could crip ple the transportation systems com pletely. That is where the highway would come In. Over it, in the auto mobiles that could be commandeered, an army could be transported. Utah's Resources "And it could be built, by one-third of tli" money taken from the pork barrel to build useless postotflces and public buildings and harbor and river improvements. We think in the West that it would be a fine thing and that military officials should plan it. "Japan is prepared. She has a sys tem worked out. in detail whereby an army of 268,000 men in warships and 1 ransports could be brought from Japan to this country in sixty-three • lays. And we could not even raise that number of men, let, alone trans- port them." Conscientious Beggar Refuses to "Put One Over" on a Woman A professional beggar with a con science is the latest find in this city. John Yates, secretary of the Asso ciated Aid Society, to-day told of a pro fessional beggar who refuses to "put one over" on a woman. The beggar who gave his name as Albert Goshen applied at the aids about a week ago for assistance, but as he was of healthy appearance he was re fused help. Secretary Yates told him that over 300 small children depended upon the society for assistance and that he was robbing them. Goshen stated that rather than rob children he would do anything. He also said that he had been in the habit of trying to "work" charitable societies, but never when a woman was in charge. "I have been at the rooms of the so ciety four times, but always found a woman in charge and never solicited aid" he said. Secretary Yates secured employment for the man at the Harrisburg Pipe and Pipe Bending Works and he went to work last Monday. lie worked un til Saturday when he received Ills pay. He went to his boardlnghouse in Wal nut street, paid his board in full and then dlsaopeared. UNITED STATES SOLDIER SHOT Columbus, N. M., Feb.

THURSDAY EVENING, FRESH SELLING IS INDUCED BY U-BOATS Early Recessions Do Not Tend Beyond Fractions; Bethle hem Sole Exception With Drop of 3%; Rails Better and Equipments Improve New York, Feb. 8. Moderate unsettlement was shown by the mar ket at to-day's opening, overnight de velopments, particularly Germany's submarine activities, inducing fresh selling. For the most part early re cessions did not tend beyond frac tions. Noteworthy exceptions were Bethlehem Steel, new stock, which fell 3% points with a loss of i% for the "rights" and two points for Texas Company, International Paper and Allis Chalmers pfd. Rails were better, Canadian Pacific recovering 2 points with 1 for St. Paul. U. S. Steel and equipment were disposed to improve. The entire list reacted later, however, on heaviness of shippings. The setback in shippings was con current with another advance in in surance rates and was followed by a further reversal in rails, high grade issues yielding to lowest levels of the present movement. Canadian Pacific lost all its early recovery but strength ened again later. Bethelehetn Steel added 2% points to its initial loss and the old stock fell 16 points with an extreme decline of over two points in I nited States Steel. Coppers and specialties of practically all descrip tors were down 2 to 4 points. Lower prices were registered at noon, some issues theti verging upon weakness. International bonds were lower, United Kingdoms establishing new niininmms. Government bonds also receded.

HERE'S A CURE FOR JEALOUSY Dorothy Dix Gives Tip on How to Get Test of Green- Eyed Monster A woman who la deeply in love with , her husband, und who frankly ac knowledges that she is intolerably I Jealous of him, without any tangible cause, wants to know i£ there is any cure for jealousy. The only cure for jealousy is com mon sense. The onlj remedy for the green eye is to look a situation so straight in the face that the jaundiced halo with which you see it surrounded fades away, and you behold it clear and normal, instead of distorted by a bilious haze. or Course It Hurts Of course It hurts a wife's pride and vanity to tind out that she is not all in all to her husband as he is to her. But if every woman who has made that discovery went about beating upon her breast and tearing her hair, we would not be able to get through the streets for the curia and transfor mations that would encumber them, and this world would be nothing but a wailing place. Men's hearts and women's hearts arc run on different schedules. Wom en are monopolists in love, while men are free traders, and it's perfectly pos sible for a man to be devoted to his wife, to prefer and admire her above all other women, and still have eyes for every other pretty skirt that crosses his pathway. Therefore, however aggravating it may be to a wife to tind out that her husband enjoys a passing flirtation with another woman, and that he still likes to be teased about being a gay Lothario, she needn't suspect his faith fulness on this account. Nor is it any indication that he is weary of her. She's still his wife, and just being a man's wife gives her a prestige in his eyes that no other woman possesses. For this reason if a man is good, and kind, and tender to his wife she is wise if she shuts her eyes to the fact that he is prone to be a little too soft where a pretty face is con cerned, and that any little two by four debutante with fluffy hair and big eyes can make a fool of him. Every wife, who makes a success of matrimony, has to forgive I her hus band something, and put up with something, and flirtatlousness is not in the same class with temper, or grouchiness, or stinginess. Never Nag Certainly the jealous wife docs not help her cause by nagging; for thero is no way so swift and sure by which to drive a man away from you to an ; other as by nagging. Let a wife make herself a perpetual faultfinder at home and she sends her husband straight as a die to the other woman to be comforted. Thus has many a wife developed her husband's slight fancy into an affinity. Nor is anything to be gained by watching a man. The most perfect system of spying breaks down at somo point, and if a husband or a [•wife wishes to deceive the other, there |always comes the opportunity to do it. Jn the end it is bound to be a ques tion of honor between the two, and so the wife who goes through lier husband's pockets looking for letters In feminine handwriting, and who pops into his office to see whether he has a good-looking stenographer or not, and who makes him establish an alibi for every minute that he is out of her sight does nothing to safeguard her own interests. She only puts a premjimi on his de ceiving her, for her suspicions make him feel that he'd better get the bene fit of her doubts. One had as well be hung for a sheep as a lamb, you know. You CHII Help It Of course the Jealous woman will say she can't help her jealousy. That's nonsense. Love is more or less a mat ter of self-hypnotism anyway, and any woman can keep the good thought on her husband's affection for her Just as effectually as she can dwell on his faithlessness and doubts of him that torture her. So I say to this jealous wife, for get your husband's one little step aside. He good to him. Be cheerful, and affectionate, and charming to him if you want to keep him and make him think you are the pluckiest little woman, and the finest comrade a man ever got. There's not much, you know. In a green-eyed nagging wife to keep a man nailed to his own fireside. That's the reason that jealousy is a boomerang that always flies back and annihilates the Jealous one. FEBRUARY 8, 1917. P. R.R.

Mrs. Visconti Gives Name of Her Informant to Probers in Secret Session Washington, Feb. 8.

I-.awson that Secretary Tumulty and others had profited in the stock mar ket on advonce information of Presi dent Wilson's peace note, she declined to answer in public on the grounds of "her constitutional rights," but of fered to testify in secret sessioh.

B.—lt is reported on good authority that Peru and Chile will address protests to Germany In regard to the German measures of naval warfare. Brazil Will Hold Kaiser Responsible For Results of Ruthless U-Boat War Rio Janeiro, Feb. 8. Brazil's reply to the German note, to bo made public to-morrow, will in terms polite but firm declare Brazil's intention -to hold Germany responsible for conse quences which may result from the new suhmarine warfare. The reply expresses the desire of the Brazilian government not to be compelled to break the amicable re lations it r.lways has maintained with Germany a fact, however, which will not prevent Brazil from taking meas ures of protection and from protesting against the menace to Brazilian com merce and navigation contained in the note of the imperial government con cerning measures for the marine blockade. Brazil bases Its protest upon the fol lowing four fundamental principles: First, the extensioi nof an inad missable blockade; second, the un expectedness of the communication, which gives only the short interval of five days before the putting into op eration of submarine measures against any and all vessels, a fact which pre vents Brazil from adopting measures with regard to several Brazilian ships now at sea or anchored in foreign ports; third, the ignoring of all rules established by international law and the principles set forth in solemn treaties and conventions, the signa tories of which are Brazil and Ger many herself; fourth, Brazil's objec tions to the declaration that no coun try should dissent from Germany's purpose to employ all means to ren der effective her blockade under the conditions mentioned In her note.
