MACDONALD LEADS POLICY DISCUSSION _Cabinet Meets to Weigh Issues of New Labor Government. GLIMP By the Associated Press. LONDON, June 26—A cabinet coun- eil was held at No. 10 Downing street today under the presidency of Premier MacDonald to discuss completion of the King's speech from the throne, which will be read before Parliament on July 2. | As it is expected the King's speech | will outline the general policy of the | labor government, it is awaited with profound interest. The administration’s attitude toward the naval strength problem, its pro-! posals with regard to the means of seeking re-establishment of diplomatic relations with Russia and its plan for | attacking the unemployment situation | are almost certain to hold prominent places in the speech. Trotsky Action Doubted. It also is believed that the govern- ment ‘may on this occasion disclose its intentions concerning the request of Leon Trotsky to be permitted to enter England. Well informed quarters be- lieve that there is little likelihood the former red army leader, now in exile in Turkey, will be allowed to come to England. - It has been arranged already with | regard to debate on the address in reply | to the King's speech that Harry Snell, | Labor member for East Woolwich, will move the address and Cecil Wilson of the Attercliffe division of Sheffield, will second the motion. Thomas Will Speak. ‘The chief speeches from the govern- ment bench wil be made by Premier MacDonald, who is expected to give a general statement of the government's policy, and by J. H. Thomas, lord privy seal, who is in supreme charge of the Laborites' plans for the reduction of unemployment. Mr. Thomas, it is un- derstood, intends to explain Comons the results of his prelimi investigation and to indicate the meas- ures he contemplates to meet this big domestic issue. Both houses of Parliament met this afternoon to complete the ceremony in connection with the election of the speaker and to swear in members, The Commons members were sul moned to the Upper House and re- ceived notification of the approval of Capt. E. A. Fitzroy as speaker, after which they returned to the Commons where Capt. Fitsroy assumed the robes | of office and took the oath. Th!' of swearing in the other msm- Bers“then began.

To! further the ideal of comradeship as to force as arbiter between na- tions is to further the hope of peace and and happiness of all ‘humanity.” Ambassador Dawes prefaced his re- marks by a personal .reference to the Prince of Wales, when, on Memorial day, the latter visited the wounded and talked with them. The Ambassador said: “He went straight to the heart of the American people, not only as a prince, but as a man.” The prince previously had expressed his pleasure at meeting delegates from all over the world and said the gath- ering was “all the more important for the presence of the American Ambas- sador. ‘This is the first opportunity I have had to welcome personally Gen. Dawes to this country. We greet him as_Ambassador, but we also greet him as ntative of the former service men of the United States.” Earl Jellicoe Toasts Dawes. Earl Jellicoe, in proposing a toast to the visitors, said that Ambassador Dawes had performed a great service and had put his hand to the work of advancing world peace, He thought it might be that in wielding the ax in the matter of naval armaments heavy blows might be aimed at his brother of- ficers and men, who had already suf- . fered hardships from previous wielding of the ax. If any further reduction in the navy was necessary, he hoped it ‘would be possible to arrive a$ some sort of finality, so that in the future they would know the personnel necessary. The American Ambassador, at the dinner, conformed to the regime that he yesterday announced would hold at the American embassy, He drank only ‘water and coffee. LIGHTNING STRIKES POST OFFICE BUILDING No Serious Damage Done by Bolt at Dead Letter Depart- ment. Lightning, accompanying a heavy rainfall yesterday afternoon, struck the City Post Office, but did not do any serious damage, it was stated at the post office this morning. ‘The bolt hit the Post Office Building shortly after the storm broke yester- day afternoon. It hit a portion of the roof just outside the Dead Letter Office and ran down the side of the building, !emundlnx on a platform at the ground vel where several employes of the post office were loading trucks with mail. No one was hurt. A few bricks dislodged by the bolt ‘were being replaced today. The storm brought the Capital relief from the recent excessive heat, the mercury dropping from 83 at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon to 71 at 4 o'clock, and steadily dropping thereafter. No serious damage was reported from the heavy rain. MOBILE UNITS OF ARMY TO MAKE ANNUAL MARCH Becretary of War Directs All Or- ganizations to Start Program This Summer. To_improve the mobility of units of the Regular Army, the Secretary of War has directed all its mobile organizations .to make’ at least one practice march of two weeks' duration and of a minimum distance of 100 miles, during each calendar year, beginning this Summer. ‘These marches will be conducted under Service regulations. 1t is prescribed that, when practicable, the marches shall be made through sec- tions which will bring the troops in | FUJI AS SEEN FROM THE SHIZUOKA, Japan, May 25, 192¢. AM trying an experiment, sitting cross-legged at a Japanese “table” about 10 inches from the floor, with my typewriter resting where a charm- ing bronze figure has heretofore been placed. This room is one of a suite | of two, opening, as do all the rooms In | Japanese houses, public and private, | into large apartments by the sliding of | partitions. The inn, the chief place of | public entertainment in Shizuoka, is | called the Daitokan, and is famous| hereabouts for its commodious accom- modations. It is certainly an amazing | for intricacy of arrangements, I | am anxiously wondering whether I can find my way to the “office” and the | street when the time comes to make connections with the party for the | day's doings. I know that I go down a hall for a short distance, turn to | | | the right—or perhaps the left—go down | a flight of stairs, turn again, turn oncei more, go up a flight of stairs, turn | once ‘more, then go straight for 'a few | yards, and go down the final flight to | the office. That’s simple in the telling, perhaps, but the doing may be dif- | ficult. My experiment consists in finding out how long I can sit in this post- tion and write. If my legs hold out I may be able to finish this letter be- fore the time comes for the day's start. Just now I was aware of a darkening of _the light and looking up saw an elderly Japanese standing in a little | corridor which runs alongside the bal- cony rail just outside of my rooms, looking _infently upon my procedure. I gave him the smiling salute, pointed to my typewriter, made motions of in- vitation for him to enter, which he declined to do, and went on writing. He was just curious to find out what this tap-tapping noise meant, and after watching me a while, ie has silently slipped away. View Snowy Cone of Fujl. Yesterday was Fujl day. We left Miyanoshita at 10 o'clock in a- big motor bus and drove over the mount:{\ road to Lake Hakone, by the same route I had gone on Wednesday after- noon. As we drove along the lake shore we suddenly saw that for which some of us had been vainly looking ever since reaching Japan, a view of the snowy cone of the most famous mountain in the world. The air was perfectly clear and Fuji showed his white cap brilliantly against a blue sky, Hakone was, however, no mirror for him, for the surface was ruffled with the breeze left over from the veritable typhoon of the day before. There is no discounting the tremen- dous “pull” of Fuji. He is, as his name signified, unigue. For that is the true Japanese meaning of “Fuji,” something rare, exceptional, distinctive, renowned. About this matter of Fuji's name, some confusion prevails in the minds of foreigners in Japan and else- where. The: suffix “yama,” which means “mountain,” is never attached | to Fuji’s name by the Japanese them- selves. For “yama” means any moun- tain, or & mountain in general. Fuji is the one and only mountain of that | name, and to say “Fujiyama” literally | means mountain-mountain, So the | Japanese almost always speak of | the great cone as “Fujisan,” which is equivalent to calling him “Mr. Fujl,” or “Dear Fuji,” or what you will. Well, there was Fujisan, glowing, be- nign, isolated in the sky. And all day long he was with us, persistently, dominatingly, as if to atone for his long seclusion. The afternoon before when the rain ceased and the skies had given sl of clearing, we had driven out to “Long Tail Pass” to a celebrated viewing int in the hope of seeing him, but all we saw was a desperate struggle between him and the clouds, in which he was only partially victorious, showing merely his | southern shoulder dimly for a few minutes. Yesterday, however, he was gloriously triumphant over the mists and even last night, if we could have gained the right viewpoint, we could | have seen him in the light of the full moon, which is rated as one of the wonders of Japan. Divided by Boundary Line. Fuji is so precious a national posses- sion that he is divided by a boundary line so as to give half of him to each of two prefectures, so that there will be no_ jealousy between them. Yester- day the governor of the prefecture of which Shizuoka is the capital rode with us on the train from Numadzu, ‘where we were entertained at luncheon, and looking out of the car window, told us proudly that half of Fuji was under his jurisdiction. As we drove in our motor bus to- ward the sea with Fuji gleaming off to the north of us, yesterday morning we were suddenly aware that the road ahead was crowded with motor cars | and with persons standing in the cen- | ter. Flags appeared on some of the cars. There were noises and motions that indicated that we were being “re- ceived.” Sure enough, the crowd in the road proved to be a welcoming com- | mittee from Numadzu, headed by the | mayor and leading members of the business community. We halted and our party alighted and there was a | formal reception in the highway. Then | we re-embarked and drove speedily to the town, five miles away. . ‘We have had many honors in Japan, many notable attentions by eminent personages and _delightful entertain- ments, but nothing has touched us more than the hearty welcome given us by these pecple of the two lesser cities which we reached yesterday, Numadzu and Shizouka, The Numad- zu delegation led us through the streets of two villages before we reached the city itself, going at a lively pace which threatened death to hundreds in the swarming communities, Out beyond Numadzu we spun, to & Testaurant or club built on & promontory, the Japa- nese name for which is “the lying cow.” That was given to it because its original formation looked like a re- cumbent bovine. But the enterprising capitalist who bought it and used it {:)r building this resort cut down the ow’s head.” It juts into the sea at point at which views of great charm are available. The snow-capped Nip- pon Alps show brightly in the sun at a distance of a hundred miles. Fuiji looms up close at hand, . The curve of the bay suggests Naples. On the beach are hundreds of fishing boats awaiting the subsidence of the sea. Entertained by Geishas. We had luncheon at a long table right out in the sun with the lively sea breeze cooling us from the increasi; contact with attractive and interesting surroundings and having recrea advantages.

As soon as he had given the “go” sign all the brokers, seated around a long wooden flat- floored trough, clapped their hands in unison several times and four atten- dants, standing in the trough with pad- dles in their hand, began to roll forth | the cocoons, one basket at a time, the brokers making their bids by means of chalk marks on wooden discs, each of which bore the token of the individual. Sales were quickly effected, basket after basket being thus disposed of. After each sale a hand-clapping signal was given. | Leaving the cocoon exchange we drove to the railway station and en- trained for Kanaya to see tea growing and experimental preparation. Motor cars took us up a high hill to an im- mense tea plantation. The fields look like endless growths of boxwood. The tea bushes are low and trim and rounded. ~ This crop is perhaps the neatest of all under cultivation by man. Inasmuch as we are to see more tea today, I will not go into details about this product, save to say that we were strongly impressed by the fact'that the Japanese tea growers are anxious to convince the American tea drinkers that their product is the best to be had. Statistics indicate that the exports of Japan tea, which is green tea, are not as large as heretofore. Whether this falling off is due to a chanhge of taste in other countries or to some mere passing condition is not evident. But the price is lessened and so is the total annual export, But the product is kept to the highest possible standard. Teéa Chief Topic of Talk. Shizuoka is the center of the tea trade. Here are located the organiza- tions which control the output and the processing. Tea is the chief topic of all talk. Tea dominates the atmosphere —tea and Fuji, who smiles down on all this activity with benignity. The government experiment station is situated in the heart of a plantation waich was begun some 70 years ago by the son of the last shogun of Japan, who after the change of regime which deprived the shoguns of political power retired to the country and became a “gentleman farmer.” * The Tokugawa family became powerful in politics and trade after the lapse from virtual royalty. One of these scions of the shogunate built himself a palace in Shizuoka, which is a very ancient city with a most romantic history. In after years this palace was taken for other uses, and today its garden is incorpo- rated in the grounds of the Pugetsuro restaurant, to which, after we had cleaned up here at the hotel from our day's driving and sightseeing, we walked, Just a few rods. Our Numadzo reception was hearten- ing. Our Shizuoka reception was thrill- ing. After we had gone upstairs in the restaurant to a delightful apartment overlooking the garden we were greeted by the sound of a whistle. Our atten- tion was attracted to the garden. A sudden spizzling of a firework startled us. A rocket-like thing went zimming across the little lake and banged into something solid on the other side. There was a splutter of fire, then a big “set piece” sprang into view, with the word “Welcome” in big letters. After this surprise we were prepared for almost anything in the way of friendly gestures. We went upstairs again to a long banquet hall, with the usual cushions and little low tables for a native feast. We had a delicious Japanese dinner served by about 20 geishas, some of whom performed dances. Twice during the evening the whistle blew and we went to the balcony ind witnessed fireworks displays, each juccess, and each with a touch specially pertaining to our visit. ‘They certainly know how to entertain here in Japan. But I do wish that the typewriting tables were a little higher. I have managed to last throughout this letter, but only by dint of stretching my legs out under the low structure. 1t is not exactly according to style, but it is better than sitting cross-legged.

FIRECRACKER THROWS GLASS IN BOY’S FACE Premature Celebration of July 4 Results in Season’s Second Casualty. ‘Thirteen-year-old Alfred Dintaman, residing at 1230 Neal street northeast, is convinced of the danger resulting from setting off firecrackers in con- nection with the celebration of Inde- pendence day. Long ago the District Commissioners banned the use of such explosives as being dangerous and not in keeping with the safe and sane method of cele- brating. Their sale in the District is prevented, but it is possible to purchase them across the boundary, Alfred, according to the police, par- ticipated in a premature celebration in the yard of Wheatley School, Montello avenue and Neal street northeast, early last evening, the celebrating including the placing of a lighted firecracker in | a bottle. Explosion of the firecracker resulted in the bursting of the bottle, pieces of the broken glass cutting the boy’s face. He was not dangerously wounded, phy- siclans at Casualty Hospital reported.

Y., made public yesterday, it was explained by Cathedral authorities today, carries out Mr. Cochran's previously expressed intention of founding a perpetual en- | dowment fund of $50,000 annually for the $350,000 College of Teachers now in course of erection on Mount Saint Albans. In making this explanation, Right Rev. James E. Freeman, Bishop of Washington, said that Mr. Cochran, who provided anonymously for the College of Preachers, gave the bullding as a to_his mother, the late Mrs. F. Cochran. Expressed Intention in 1927. ‘The original gift, announced in Oc- tober, 1927, provided for a $250,000 structure and at that time, the Cathe- dral authorities explained today, Mr. Cochran expressed his intention of pro- viding a $50,000 annual income to be used in carrying forward the institu- tion's activities. In 1928, Mr. Cochr: gave $50,000 to the Cathedral as the in- come for that year, and is understood to have made provision for the 1929 income, After his original gift of $250,000 for the College of Preachers, Mr. Cochran later gave $150,000 for the construec- tion of a chapel, fer furnishings and landscape, making a total of $400,000 gzgnsh, which includes the income for Aims of College Set Forth. The terms of the gift set forth the | aims of the college, Bishop Freeman lannom‘\ced today. They were as fol- ows: ._“The supreme end and purpose of the Christian religion is the enfranchise- ment and enrichment of the human soul. To interpret to men the mind of the Master; to give them an under- standing of the deep and satistying values of life; to teach them to employ rightly the means necessary to salva- tion, is the high and holy privilege of the Christian ministry. To this end the college is founded, in the sure con- fidence that the bulwark and sustaining strength of the Nation is in an abiding and unchanging practice of the Chris- tian religion. The college is designed to | give to its students a comprehensive and | broadly Catholic vision of the history and unity of the Christian church since its inception. It will lay unfailing em- phasis on those central and evernal teachings of the Master which secure to the Christlan ministry its power and usefulness—through its sacramental of- | fice in the priesthood; through its edify- ing and inspirational office in the prophethood, and through its comfort- ‘l'?o'od and consoling office in the pastor- “Mr, Cochran,” Bishop Freeman said, “was & man of such retiring and mod- est habits that he was little known to the public. He scrupulously avoided anything that would give him distinc- tion or notorfety as a man of large affairs or as a philanthropist. Repeat- edly, in large gifts that I was priviley to administer for him, he insisted that no one was to know who the donor was. Discussed Work on Cathedral. “When on & visit to him in Paris two years ago, he discussed with me the | large work now going on in connection with Washington Cathedral. At that time I told him about a then new en- | terprise, known as the College of | Preachers. He immediately disclosed a keen interest and offered to erect a suitable bullding and to guarantee its | maintenance by an endowment.” The corner stone of-the building was laid by Bishop Freeman in May, 1928, and construction now is well advanced. | 1t is planned to hold the first confer. ence in the new structure in Septem- ber, with the formal dedication sched- | uled to take place later in the Fall. The design is ~colleglate gothic to monize with the architecture of the Cathedral, The building will have accommoda- tions for 25 resident students and apartments for the warden and his two | assistants. There will be a chapel for | devotional exercises and a great com- | mon room about which the life of the | college will revolve. The refectory, or | dining will be unique in that it will contain a reading desk, from which one of the students will read sloud dur- ing meals in accordance with a me- dieval custom. Oxford Method to Be Followed. ‘The Right Rev. Philip M.

They are sharply divided, however, over the question of marrying women “with a past” or who drink, smoke or swear, it is revealed in returns from a questionnaire sent to each of the young men by association officials. All but one of the men said they considered the love of some woman essential to man's happiness, and all but three agreed that children were neces- sary to a happy domestic circle. One man hoped for five or six children, while others said two or three would be enough. Seventeen said they would let their wives handle the money in their home, 11 were positively oppesed to such a course, 7 were in favor of “allowances™ for wives and 5 thought a joint finafice | scheme advisable. Some Hold “Love Is Blind.” All but five men said they admired the modern girl, but most of those who answered had suggestions for her “im- provement,” ranging from “less neck- ing, drinking and smoking” to “less deceit,” “more prudence” and “more modesty.” ‘Ten held that beauty was an indis- pensable attribute to a wife, 13 took the opposite view and others replied “it helps,” ‘“preferable,” ihe must be ‘three-fourths beautiful ‘love is blind,” “she must make the best of her looks,” etc. A majority were against wives con- tinuing in office work, but some thought | “Y" BACHELORS SET UP BROAD With Not Too Much Beauty and Brains, but With Lots of Affec- tion Desired. | OR IDEAL WIVES & year or two of work after the honey- moon wouldn't hurt. Many of the men disclosed they are saving up to get married, the amounts being put’away annually varying from $25 to $1,000. One said he wouldn't marry until he had $20,000 in the bank. In answer .. the question “What qualities do you consider most impor- tant in a wife?” there was a diversity of replies. Among these were that she should be “open-minded,” of a loving disposition, ed of a sense of humor, faithful, domestic, educated, conversational, healthy, energetic, in- telligent, neat, personable, a good cook, sportsmanlike, even-tempered, economi- cal and up to date. Fifteen were o) to demanding that a girl “reveal any mistake she had made before marriage,” while 11 felt they should know all. Many said that, knowing of the girl's past, they would be willing to marry her, providing she had reformed. Others said: “If you love the girl, you will forget”; “I'm no angel, and I wouldn't expect her to be one"; I are not always the girl's fault’ f she was weak before, she will be “‘Marriage shoul founded on trust in each other’ would rather hear about it from her than some one else”; * wouldn’t dare ask her, because she might ask me.” As for the girl who drinks, smokes or swears, 20 stated they didn't think <he would make a good wife and 9 sald it wouldn't make any difference. One | thought,_drinking and smoking were O.
