12 SUGGESTS JAPAN BUY PHILIPPINE ISLANDS FROM U.S. Writer Would Also Purchase Dutch East Indies to i Meet Population Toido, Sept. B.—The suggestion that Japan purchase the Philippine islands from the United States and the Dutch East Indies from Hol land as a means of solving the prob lem of Japan's ever growing popula tion is made by o. writer in the Her ald of Asia, a conservative Japanese weekly journal. The writer contends Japan is bound to expand territor ially as she is expanding in popula tion. Pointing out that the popula tion has more than doubled in the last fifty years, being now over 67,- 000,000, he estimates that at the rate of increase the population will in another fifty years have reached 114,000,000. It is not too much to hope, he argues, that "some day justice and destiny will decide that all the islands on this side of the Pacific, north of the equator, will come un der the jurisdiction of Japan." He asks the question whether America intends to keep out Japanese emi grants and still hold the Philippines permanently. If not, why should she not some day sell them to Japan .' He adds: "Having closed her own doors to the Japanese, this would be a gracious act on her part and one that would be but naturally ex pected from a country boasting of so much philanthropy and Christian altruism." Would Aid Defenses As for the Dutch East Indies, the article contends the inhabitants are more akin to the Japanese than to Holland and that Japan could ad minister the islands with greater benefit on the whole to the people I and to herself than could Holland which, moreover, is a small country untroubled with surplus population. It is pointed out also that the Dutch East Indies form the southern line of Japan's defences and that more than once the independence of these islands has made them a menace to her safety. After remarking that the Japanese do not like to settle in cold climates like Hokkaido or Siberia, the writer concludes: "Certniply it would be better to let Japan have them than to let them pass into other hands, a contingency that Japan could not contemplate. There was no surp prise when America purchased the Danish West Indies. There should he no surprise if Japan should pur chase the Dutch East Indies. Were Japan once in command of the Sunda straits she could slacken her naval program and feel at east both as to defences and population for all time to come." Geese Too Thin, Thief Returns Them to Be Fattened Berne, Sept. B.—The crime wave that has been sweeping Germany since the armistice, is not devoid of some refreshing incidents. Berlin papers tell of the sense of humor displayed by a thief who stole two geese from a farmer at Maisbach near Heidelberg. A few days later the geese mysteriously reappeared. One of them had a ribbon nround its neck to which was tied this note: "Back from captivity. Feed well for two 4" lore weeks; too skinny now." New York Lawyer Found Dead in Bed New York, Sept. B.—James W. Osborne, former assistant district attorney of New York and widely known as a criminal lawyer, was found dead in lied in his apartment at a hotel here yesterday. The body was discovered by his son when he returned to the hotel after spending Saturday night with relatives. The cause of Mr. Osborne's death was given as angina pectoria. Mr. Osborne had remained in his apartment alone Saturday night, Mrs. Osborne having gone to visit her father. He had spent Saturday afternoon playing tennis, and after returning to the hotel late in the evening, ate a hearty meal. This, physicians said, probably caused acute indigestion which brought on angina pectoria. Mr. Osborne who was 51 years old, was born in Charlotte. N. C. He came to New York when he was 25 years old, nnd five years later entered the district attorney's of fice. He served under successive district attorneys for fourteen years, later entering private practice.

Va., Sept. B.—The several thousand miners who took up a march across country Saturday with the avowed purpose of forcing nonunion miners In Logan county to organize were prevailed upon to desist in their efforts. After al .most hourly telephone conferences throughout the greater part of the day between Governor Cornwell, in this city, and Frank Keeney, presi dent of District 17, United Mine Workers, the men were started back to their homes late yesterday after noon from Danville and Clothier, at which points they had camped over night. They were brought back in special trains sent to the rendezvous by the Governor, and the union offi cials said that all would return to work this morning. The men had taken up the march without instructions or counsel with President Keeney. Rumors and re ports that are said to be false nnd misleading inflamed the miners, and with one section of the little army it was the determination to rectify the reported conditions in Logan county. Some of the reports that, reached the miners in the Kanawha field were that women and children were being murdered by mine guards RATIFICATION URGED AS CURE FOR "RED" DANGERS Wilson Says at Dcs Moines That Bolshevism Threatens Un less Treaty Is Accepted Promptly Without Change Dos Moines, lowa, Sept. 8. A possibility that Bolshevism may spready in threatening proportions to the United States unless the peace treaty iH ratified promptly was sug gested !>y President Wilson in an address here Saturday irght. The whole world wah waiting un easily, he said, while the poison which had wrecked Russia was spreading among peples who did not yet know what guarantees there were to be for liberty in the new world order. Labor and capital in the United States, he asserted, could not pro ceed intelligently with their set tlements nor could great problems like the railroad situa 'on be solved while the suspense continued. Mr. Wilson defended the Shan tung provision of the treaty and said the league covenant section referring to the Monroe Doctrine had been inserted to "give the Mon roe Doctrine right of way in the Western Hemisphere." He declar ed his conviction that it would do so. World In Need of Peace "The world is dsperately in need of the settled condition of peace," said the President, "and it cannot wait much longer. It is waiting up on us. That is the thought, that is the burdensome thought upon my heart, that the world is waiting for the verdict of the nation to which it looked for leadership and which it thought wuld bo the last that would ask the world to wait. "The world is not at peace. I suppose that it is difficult for one who has not had some toucll of the hot passion of the other side of the sea to realize liow all th 3 passions that have been slumbering for ages have been uncovered and released by tl,e tragedy of this war.
