Attention Heaped on
The Baltic States
Riga, June 11.?More friendly attention
has been heaped upon the
0 Baltic states by various European
- powers since the Rapallo treaty, the
- trade agreement between Russia and
3 Germany was signed April last, than
during all the time since their ereaie
tion by the Treaty of Versailles.
l" This is because of the geographical
P position of the states, forming as
they do the most accessible 'bridge"
'9 between Russia and Germany.
? Shortly after the signing the Germans
started the ball rolling by a
? "hand shaking" expedition headed by
' ? Herr Blucher, Berlin's commissioner
for the Baltic. Hetr Blucher visited
n Kovno, where he spent several days
with the Lithuanians, thence on to
Riga for conferences with the Latvians,
giving assurances in Riga as
, , he did in Kovno, of Germany's friand.
ly and peaceful intentions which! in
g the eud, would bring only good, econ
Iomicauy ana omerwise, ior tne young
republics which lie between East
Prussian and Russia. From &>ga. |
Herr Blucher went to Reval on the
same mission, and afterward to Hels.ingfors,
holding conferences in each
place. The Germans in May inaugurated
an airplane service connecting
the capitals of the new Baltic states
with Koenigsberg in East Prussia,
whence there is aerial service direct
to Berlin. The Germans also are
planning to improve the Baltic raili.ioad
service which, indirectly, connects
Berlin with Moscow.
Upon the heels of the Blucvher mission
quickly came the recognition de
jure of Lithuania by France, and
since then French Missions of various
kinds have been pouring into
Kovno, arranging for the opening of
trade relations on a most friendly
basis. Now France and Germany -are
vieing with each other to Curry Lithuania's
favor.
The French missions in Riga and
1 Esthonia have increased their .personnel,
and 70 leading Freneh manufacturers
wil^ participate in Riga'3
approaching trade show. The French
exhibits are to arrive on special
-steamships, and the show will be
visited by delegations of .business
men and several -members of the
French Parliament. The Fnench Na
tional Bank of Commerce has sent a
representative to Riga to establish
eonneetions with Latvial capitalists.
Two French destroyers are making
courtesy visits to Riga, Reval and
Helsingfors.
The British have not been far behind.
They have sent many missions
to the Baltic states, and London, and
(Manchester business men are seen in
the principal cities.
Boys Suspended from School
Kyoto, Japan, May 12 (By Mail).?
The boys of the high school of Kyoto
who passed a vote of "want of confidence"
in their principal were suspended
for a week. This "drastic
step" as the Japanese papers describe
the action of the school authorities
is unusual in the frequent "strikes"
at school boys in Japan, Jfchey usually
being settled by compromise in
which the boys generally secure ..the
enforcement of some of their 'demands.
The non-confidence vote in Kyoto
was based on the alleged "despotism"
of the principal in discharging .old
professors. As a conference between
the principal and the scholars could
- not come to an agreement the suspi
pension of the boys was decided upon.

Moanonitas Settle in Mexico
El Paso, Texas, June 11.?Men
nonitas from Canada "who settled tw<
months ago in Chihuahua, Mexico
are laa ruing to btriid and occupj
adobe dwellings of Mexican pattern
Contrary to pessimistic and sensa
tional report c, the colonists are get
ting on well with the Mexicans am
are wel pleased with the country, according
to a score of Americans
Canadians, Mexicans and Mennonites
who have been on the epot. The latter
say the colonists hare transform
ed the valley of San Antonio from t
barren landscape to a place of stir
ring villages, spacious barns, gar
dens and trees. The Mennonites oc
copy 200,000 acres.
Lurid stories stating that the pil
gritns from Canada have "faller
among thieves" are emphatically de
nied from responsible sources. It i:
asserted on the contrary that ther<
is no banditry nor friction in the Mennonites'
quarter; that "they like tin
Mexicans and the Mcidcans like
them," and that a second 1,000 Men
nonites -wil leave Cftnada for Chihuahua1
hj June.
John F, D. Wiebe, who helped thi
first thousand Mennonites get locatec
in their new promised land, has just
returned from the colony. Since hit
negotiations to get the sect frou
their Canadian homes into Mexico h<
has been made agricultural agent foi
the Mexico Northwestern railroad.
"The Mennonites like .their Mexi
can neighbors and the Mexicans lik<
them," he said. "The Mennonites ar<
busy planting and plowing, and build
ing houses and barns. Their childrei
are in school, and a substantial build
ing is used for school and church
Their cattle are fat; there is no sick
ness, andreverything is all right wit!
them." i
Afexican Consul General Luis
Montes d? Oca, of El Paso, whose of
fice helped arrange the passage of th<
first 1,000 Mennonites, and othei
Mexican ^officials denied the report
that Mexico does not want any mor<
Mennonite settlers.
"A thousand more Mennonites wil
leave Canada early in June, according
to present plans," said Mr. Wiebe
"Freight rates have been adjusted ir
their fayor, and rates through va
rious ports of entry have been equal
ized, and the next train load will comt
through .El Paso. New rates wil
save the colonists $1,800 to $2,50(
on a trajnload of freight, and th<
Mennonites now are getting ready t?
leave."
Among persons who corroborate"
Mr. Wiebe's report were Charle
Moeller of El Paso, Rev George Buh
ler of XJanada, Jacob Wiebe, Klaa
Riede, Franz Froese, Abram Peter
and Peter Neufeld, Mennonites o
Canada.
Tourists Heavily Taxed
Some, June 1L-?Seeking the mon
ey of the. tourist in Rome, the mu
nicipality bethought itself of collect
ing from him a lax of IX) percent o
his hotel UU, simply for the privilege
or aojounungL to the city. But then
was violent .opposition from the pub
lie in general and hotel keepers ii
particular, -with the customary refer
ence to the killing of the goose tha
lays the golden eggs, and the pro
posal, for .the time being at any rate
has been sbolved.
Already a tourist in Rome pays
tax, based on his hotel bill of te
percent for service, supposed to b
in place of tips, and a luxury tax o
from seven percent to 12 percent
The new tax would have made i
third enforced contribution.
Ten percent in the bill instead o
tips does not work out very wel
The tourist avers he has to tip any
way to get good service, and th
servants say they do not by an;
means receive their share of the con
siderable sum produced by l,his levj
The hotels of Rome, closetl durin
the war, are reopening, but proprie
tors are complaining of eoccessiv
costs. They declare that before th
war they could feed a servant fo
35 cents a day, and that now the
must pay three dollars for the sam
food. All this may be true, never

Hawaiian Race is
Not Dying Ou
Honolulu, T. H.. May 18 (Bv Mail!
r?The Hawaiian race is not "dyinj
out," but in reality is "marrying it
self out of existence," according to i
statement made here by Miss M
Heater Lemon, registrar of vital sta
italics.
Although there has been no ma
terial increase in the death rate o
pure-blooded Hawaiians .during th
past four years, the birth rate for th
calendar year 1921 showed a materia
decrease as compared with those o
the four preceding years and indicat
ed that Hawaiian men and wome
are destroying their own race b
marrying into other groups, she sail
"It will be seen readily that thi
praetice. will tend to inerease the par
Hawaiian population and at the sam
time decrease the pure Hawaiian pot
ulation insofar as the future is cor
eerned," she added.
During the fiscal year ending Jun
80, 1921, there were 169 marriage
between pure Hawaiian couples. I
addition to these, 66 Hawaiian me
married women of other races ap
142 Hawaiian women were marrle
to men of other groups. Birtl
among pure Hawaiian families dui
ing the calendar year were 42 less i
nvmberfthan those registered durin

. Smuggling Alcohol
Into Norway
i _____
j Stockholm, June 9.?The smuggling
of alcohol into Norway has be*
come a well organized and growing
trade, and this in spite of the extendi,
sion of Norway's territorial waters
for a distance seaward of ten miles.
3
Over 100 vessels were waiting reeently
outside the Norwegian fjords for
s customers to tako liquor already pur^
chased. Light wines and beer only
are legal in Norway, drinks containing
more than 15 percent of alcohol
being barred.
Stroenista, a small place in Sweden
near the Norwegian border is an
important center for the smuggling
flotillas which are composed mostly
of German and Danish Vessels. These
p
boats enter port and have their
e cargoes sealed by the Swedish cusL'
toms people. The skippers meet
their Norwegian customers in the
1 town and arrange for the sale of the
liquor, after which they put to sea
* outside the nationality limit and
break the seals. The Norwegian
buyers meet at a rendezvous and the
transactions are completed.
a Tn this way enormous quantities of
n liquor are brought into Norway and
^ prices are steadily declining. Also
there has been an increase in the
" number of cases of drunkenness,
n which in Christiana is reported to be
twice as large as in Stockholm.
^ The Norwegian government derived
an annual revenue of about 46,000,000
krone from liquor before the
e establishment of prohibition, but to^
day this has been reduced to virtual*
" ly nothing.

? Says Milk is an
Unnatural Food
e
London, June 9.?"Is there any one
r subject today upon which doctors
v agree?" asks a sceptical newspaper
comment on the advice of Dr. Cecil
0
Webb-Johnson, who has said: "Never
j di'ink milk; it is an unnatural food
, save for the young."
tl Giving his reasons for this revolu?
tionary opinion Dr. Webb-Johnson, a
specialist on diet, said to a questioner:
^ "We are the only animals in the
world who drink milk after infancy.
' The domestic cat, it may be pointed
? out, drinks milk ufter it has grown
* up, hut this is purely a domestic
u habit.
"The idea has been handed down
" through generations that milk is a
good thing to drink when you are ill.
?' I think it is the worst thing, and I
f never allow my patients to have it.
e It causes constipation, flatulence, a
e dirty tongue and leads to rheumatism,
backaches and tired feelings.
' Taken in excess it often causes ap *
pendicitis.
n "Nature does not intend milk to be
y taken after the purpose for which it
was provided has been fulfilled. I
9 prefer hard food always. Frequent
ly?sometimes habitually?people will
e go whole days without hard food of
any description. That, for one thing,
'* is bad for the teeth. Celery, apples
and other things that make you bite
should be on the table evqry day.
!S "Nor is milk good for the body in
n addition to ordinary food. It makes
n one fat, and a fat person cannot be
^ healthy."
