The state commissioners will do all they can to assist and promote the plan. Commissioner Smith, of the federal bureau, says he favors Block Jsland for the reason that it is the centre of the fishing industry of the state and its natural facilities make it the Dest adapted place. Congress has appropriated $25,000 for the establishment of the station and Commissioner Smith informed the state board that he will ask for an additional appropriation to supplement the lobster hatchery with a lobster rearing. plant.

CHINESE QUESTION WILL LOOM UP AFTER THE PRESENT WAR. Former Japanese Minister Says Japari Should Prepare for Commercial Competition. Tokio, Nov. 19.—(Correspondence of THe Associated Press.).—China will loom up as a great question after the present war, in the opinion of H. Ijuin, former ~Japanese minister to Peking, and Japan should prepare her- self now for a solution of the Chinese question. In a magazine article, Mr. Ijuin warns his fellow countrymen that while the Buropean war continues George Griswold, marched to the lodge room, where the lodge was opened and the degree work was exemplified on a western powers may seem to be taking- little or no interest, but that after the war their ambitions for a share in Chinese commerce will revive. He even goes so far as to express the opinjon that if the powers were unable t0 -agree “on-the Chinese question Beauty of contours distinguishes this coat of Hudson seal, banded, collared and cuffed with muskrat. This same fur on the bottom of the velvet skirt gives a very rich effect. Nothing could be smarter for fasteners than the three huge seal button: second international war would be certain to ensue. In consequence of this general sit- uation, Mr. Ijuin, while not a partisan of a formal alliance with.Russia at the present time, strongly recommends that Japan and Russia maintain their existing cordial relations and be ready to face any emergency that may arise in connection with the Chinese prob- lem. He said: “The policy of Japan and Russia may have much to do with maintaining peace after the European war, Nations will fight to prevent calamity, but some of them will fight quicker to maintain commerce: and this renders the Chinese question a very delicate one. ‘Whether there comes a war of arms or not, there is certain to be a peaceful war of com- mercial competition in China. In this struggle for commercial supremacy some nations must inevitably take an inferior position, leading to bitter ais- satisfaction and danger, as they benold the prosperity of the conqueror.” The ex-minister thinks that the Japanese need have little fear of com- petition in arms, but that they cannot be so sure of themselves when it comes to the peaceful competition of com- merce. Japan must therefore do ev- erything to ensure a commercial vic- tory. If Japan made an alliance with Russia, most publicists would un- doubtedly think that it would be large- ly to guard against Germany. “The sudden recovery of Germany,” wrote Mr. Ijuin, “would be a terror to Japan. Of ‘course, it is natural to suppose that Germany will do all within her power to divorce Japan from China and to do everything possible against the inter- ests of Japan. But Japan may hope to be immune from German _inter- ference for at least four or five years after the war, before which time Ger- many cannet be expected to recover former conditions. At any rate, Japan has no real fear of Germany, else she would never have declared war against her. Japan entered in the war with Germany with her eyes wide open to the resuits.” The minister's idea was to keep the Anglo-Japanese alliance secure, and wait patiently for more light on the question of the proposed Japan-Russia alliance. If the latter is consummated the greatest care should be taken to see that it militates in no way against the alliance with Great Britain. The developments of the situation in China—the reports of dnrest and pos- sibility of outbreaks, and especially the movement for a restoration of the monarchy—are causing a good deal of concern in Japan and form the_ sub- Ject for ministerial conferences. Japan will presumably fulfill a programme based on the principle that, as the great neighboring oriental power, she holds or should hold the predominat- ing role in the affairs of China. Ac- cording to the newspapers here, in case China decides to return to the mon- archy, Japan is likely to take the lead in securing the recognition of the great powers for the new form of govern- ment. President Yuan-Shi-Kai is quoted as being desirous of making sure that the new imperial govern- ment would receive recognition from the powers before taking the final steps, and as being convinced that he must first secure the recoguition of Japan as emperor, feeling that after- ward Japan's allles—Great Britain, France and Russia—would fall into line. The attitude of the United States on the question of recognition is a estion that furnishes a great deal of speculation. One wrizer says: “But even If the Washington govern- ment should refuse to fall in line with other powers under the apparent lead- ership of Japan, it is believed that it will not affect other governments in taking concerted action In giving the necessary recognition to the new gov- ernment in China.” HOLLAND'S BARB WIRE BOUNDARY LIN Sentries of Each Country Stand Guard On Either Side. Amsterdam, Nov. 19.—The barb-wire boundary between Holland and neighbors, Germany and Belgium, pre- sents a remarkable picture at some points, where it bisects farmhouses, towns, or even cuts straight across the platform of frontier railway stations. There is one place where the street is divided up the middle, so that Dutch and German shops face each other across barriers, of barb- wire. On the further side of street runs street rallway, which is in Germany twelve feet wide which is neutral ground. Then comes another fence, and the narrow bit of road and pave- ment bevond it are in Holland. At each street corner are narrow open- ings to allow passage from one coun- try to.the other, sentries of each coun- try standing cafeful guard on either side. It is the main street of a busy town, and the ordinary town life flows back and forth, while little ~ Dutch street bovs talk to the German street Down this street at the beginning of the war the boys through the meshes.

All the vilages on the frontier lead a confusedly bisected existence, a belt of barb-wire as it were separating their heads from their feet. In these places the work of the Dutch sentries s mainly to search the people who pass, lest they carry on or out illicit merchandise. The German guards are mostly concerned with keeping a 100k~ out for deserters or the able-bodied Belgians who seek to escape - from German rule. At a few points the German side of the barb-wire fence is fuhther protected by wires carrying electric current, and searchlights play up and down the line during the night. In the towns which are ‘bisected by the boundary line, there are two or three contrasts which etrike the ob- served immediately. AIl the soldiers on one side of the line are in one tyye of uniform, while in the other halt of the town there are just as many_soldiers, but of course in a dif- ferent type of dress. The sentry boxes on one ide ‘are red, white and blue, on the other side they are red, white and black. Part of the town of Baarle-Hertog is Belgian, but it is saved from Ger- man occupation owing to the fact that it is entirely surrounded by Dutch tortitory—a little Belgian island in the middle of Holland. There is no necd of sentries here, and there is no wire to mark the invisible frontier which runs through the middle of the main streets. From here to the real frontier one travels over a well-paved roadway which is Dutch, while the diteh at the side is Belgian. At the rallway station, which is Paarle in Holland, and Wielde in Germany, the frontier runs straight through the ticket office and out across the plat- forms on either side. A line of col- ored tiling in the floor marks the boundary, and the words “Nederland” and “Belgique” are set into the con- creto on either side. On both plat- forme the sentries of the two coun- tries face each other at a distance of a yard or mso apart. AMERICAN MILLIONS DEVELOPING CHILEAN MINES Ventures In South American Country Give Much Promise. “Big Business” interests of the Uni- ted States have for some time been making large investments in various Latin American countries, particular- Iy i mining enterprises in South Ame:ica. The huge scale upon which some of these ventures have been pro- jecte is brought out in an_article in the August number of the Bulletin of the Pan American Union, Washington, D. C.. contributed by Mr. John Paul Bushrell, f ormerly ~of Washington but now located . at . Chuquicamata, Chite. Amcrg” the enterprises enumerated are thc Armour packing plants in Argentina: the Dupont nitrate mines in Chile; the Bethlehem Steel Com- pany’s immense iron mines near Co- quimbo, Chile; the Morgan interests in the Cerroede Pasco Copper Com- pany's mines in- Peru: the Braden Copper Company’s extensive copper plant at Rancagua, near Santiago, Chile: and last, but perhaps greatest of all, te Guggenheim corporation, known as the Chile Exploration Com- pany, now completing the gigantic copy industry _at Chuquicamata, near the town of Calama, on the Anto- fagasta Railway. The mineral region of Chugnicamata is situated in the barren Chilean “pampa”, 150 miles from the port of Antofagasta, at an altitude of 9,500 feet, and 40 miles from the snow-cap- ped peaks of the Andés. The exis- tence of the ore body has long been known and in fact has been worked on the surface for many generations by the natives; also to a small extent by Englisir companies. It is a large body of disseminated ore of consider- able length and breath and of un- known depth. Samples taken at 1,200 feet below the surface show copper in greater quantities than near the sur- face. The actual superficial area showing coper covers more than 150 acres. Numerous mining and engineering problems presented themselves, some on account of the character of the ore and cthers on account of the location. The electrolytic pracess for obtaining the ccpper being detided upon, & tremendous amount of electrical power was required. Owing ‘to the scarcity of rivers or water from any source in this immediate section, it was found necessary to build a power plant on the coast at Tocopilla and to carry the power 110,000 volts by a transmis- sfon line of 100 miles in length to the mill site at Chuguicamata. Incident- ally new types of towers and insula- tors were devised by the company's experts, who also overcome the prob- lems attendant on the quick temper- ature rises and the high altitude. Water for general as well gs for do- mes*ic use was made available by the building of many pipe lines from the mountain streams of the Andes and pumping it long distances to the stor- age tanks on the property. The wa- ters of these streams, however, are mot potable, because of the great amount of ritrate in_the eoil through which they pass, and consequently the drink- ing water has to be brought by tank cars from springs at Paniri and Tatio in Bolivia. The mill is three-quarters of a mile from the mine proper and is connected therewith by a railroad of standard gauge which uses large lo- comotives of the latest type, imported from the United States. According to Mr. Bushnell, the min- ing camp is a model of its kind, Care- ful atrention has been given to the conditions and accommodations of the employees. There are now about 350 North Americans and Europeans and more tuan 3,000 natives housed on the To meet the 'questior ~of sanitation efficiency the company. se- cured the services of one of Gen.
