hjT LIZZIE Q THOMAS
OUS DUTT AJTD JAPAN
• Just as I sat down to send you my
weekly (and weakfy?) greeting my eyes
fell on this notice in a church paper:
‘The Japanese have sent a gift of
SIO,OOO to aid the Young Men’s Christian
association of this country. Os this sum.
$5,000 was contributed by the emperor
and empress of Japan on Christmas
eve, as an expression of their apprecia
tion of the splendid work done by the
Young Men's Christian association for
the soldiers in the Japanese army dur
ing the Russo-Japanese war.
"Major General Hibiki. himself a
Christian, emphasizes the importance of
the Christian leadership of Japan in
the Orient, and urged the necessity of
missionary work in that country.
“For." said he. “if we win Japan for
Christ, we win Asia.”
That statement may sound a bit ego
tistic, but when one knows the nation
one can see the truth of the statement.
They are a progressive, proud nation and
their highest ambition now is to lead.
Many Japanese Christians occupy po
sitions of responsibility in the imperial
government, and their conduct goes far
to leaven the lump.
This year our Sunday school mission
money is to be sent to Japan and I hope
that all of you will give as the Lord
hath given to you. God sends the rain
and dew. the shade and sunshine, wheth
er you have returned to His work the
tenth or have denied the partnership.
Think what this country would be if
Christian influence had not been the
dominating power.
Christianity originated the orphan
homes, the homes for old people, the
poor houses, insane asylums, hospitals
and the Red Cross work. Christianity
put woman on the high plane that she
now occupies and lifted her from a
part of a man’s goods and chattels to
his partner and equal. Even when I
was in Japan it was the usual thing
tor a girl to be picked up. not heeding
her tears and entreaties, and taken to
the house of some man that had seen
her photograph and offered the family
good terms for her.
In Korea the women and girls were
not called by any given name, it was
Mr. So and So’s wife or mother or
daughter. In Japan the head of the
family and all of the advisers were men
or boys. There is no word signifying
husband. Should you meet a woman
and you would enquire about her hus
band you would use the words Dan-na
San, meaning the “honorable master,”
and in speaking of him the wife would
use a word that means “master." The
word a man uses in speaking of his
wife means the “inferior creature.”
The Japanense want to appear well
and for that reason many people who
travel through their country come back
delighted with them and sneer at the
idea of sending missionaries to such a
nation. They assume a virtue they
have not. because they know the way
that the people of America look at
things that are entirely out of their
line of living.
The family name must be kept up, if
there is no boy in the home the wife Is
sent to her home, or another is brought
in and given charge of things or a boy
is adopted. Tn the latter case as soon as
he is grown he marries one of the girls
in his adopted home, and rules the
house.
There are suicides, runaways and some
. very unhappy homes, and, on the other
.hand. I know some very, very congenial
homes in that "Sunrise Land.” If the
man has a nice disposition he grows
fond of his wife and children, but for
some it is torment. The young couple
are always in the home of the man's
parents. The girl Is more like an up
per servant than anything else. She is
on probation for a year, her mother
i in-law judging her fitness to sew, to
cook and to keep house. If a little girl
happens to come first it is ample cause
for the young wife to be sent back to
her father’s house. If she has not pleas
ed the family and the baby Is a boy
they may decide to send her back and
to keep the baby. I knew one poor lit
tle mother to be sent home when her
little boy was nine days old The old
grandmother was jealous of her and
made her son believe all sorts of things.
I knew an officer’s son who was taken
from his mother when he was about
ten or eleven. I used to feel sorry for
the boy. there was a new wife and a
home in a different part of the country.
He grew very fond of me and when he
was unhappy he'd come to see me and
we would learn a new Japanese song or
he would tell me of his mother and
her home. So many times I would
think of our Saviour’s words.'One thing
thou lackest” when with those people
in their case it was the knowledge of
Saviour, the arbsence of Christianity
ut their lives.
I hope that these lines will help
you to see your duty clear and that you
will understand that the mere fact of
Japan being a brave, artistic nation
makes It even more important that
they should be won for Christ. They
ate a light to lead others into darkness
of Buddhism or to the true religion
that makes heaven of even the prison
er’s cell.
Faithfully yours,
LIZZIE O. THOMAS

TWO LITTLE BOYS
The good little boy and the bad little
boy
Both live in the house with me;
But it is quite strange—l can look and
look.
Yet only one little boy I see.
Just one little boy with sparkling eyes
And the funniest pudgy nose.
All brimful of life from the top of his
head
To the tips of ten stubby toes.
And yet there are two of them, 1 am
sure;
For one is a bad little boy.
And I am sorry that he lives here
To bother the good little boy;
Yes, pester and bother the good little
boy
Till he sometimes drives him away.
And the bad little boy is alone with me
For the rest of the long, long day.
And Is asked him to go for the good lit
tle boy
And bring him again to me;
But I take him up and hold him close
While I talk to him lovingly;
And while I am talking hr sometimes
laughs.
But oftener far he cries—
And T see that the good little boy Is
back
As I look In the bad boy’s eyes.

WANTS TO HELP THE SOLDIERS
Dear Miss Thomas: We take The
Semi-Weekly Journal and I do enjoy
your letters. They have helped me so
much. I wouldn’t care for It if it
wasn’t for your’s and Mrs Felton’s
chats
When I last wrote to this paper I had
four tn the family. Now it is sad to
say there are two chairs vacant. It
makes me sad. so sad when I put the
dishes on tbe table I don’t feel like eat-

ing much. My dear, dear boy joined the
army last April. O, I grieved so much
till I couldn't grieve more. I saw it
was vain, ami I have given him up to
God to watch over till he comes back.
June 21 my dear husband was called
home to rest. It seemed like I had more
than 1 could bear. I am left with one
son. No one knows but those that give
them up. son and husband, what it is.
All 1 can do is to ask God to help me
live so that I can meet my dear ones
on the other shore. I haven't seen my
dear boy in five months.
If the president wants part of my
canned goods he can get them. I haven’t
thought of hiding any. I do wish I
could do something for my boy, and the
other dear boys. I will do it. I don’t
use half the sugar I did. I do try in
every way to save in everything I can.
I can knit socks and I am willing to
knit some for the soldiers, if they
want me. I am in poor health, but will
do my bit with a willing heart.
My home is broken up. I had to sell
it. I couldn’t stay, and I will move to
Athens, Ga., soon, and I’ll go to the Red
Cross headquarters and see what I can
do for th© dear boys in the trenches. I
do feel so sorry' for all the mothers and
wives.
I enjoy’ all the letters and hope that
this page will be filled with them.
MRS. A. F. DAWSON.
AFTER MANY RESOLUTIONS
Dear Mrs. Thomas: As 1 finished
reading the Household I could not re
sist getting my paper and pencil, al
though I haven’t much “book lamin'.”
The bay is beautiful this morning and
so calm that every shadow of the
trees reflects in away I cannot de
scribe.
After a cold spell, the sun is shining
and I will carry my geraniums out in
the yard again. I hear our children
whistling for a bird that sits on the
fence posts and waits for them to find
a worm. The bird will sit on their
hands and pick up the worms.
While all nature is rejoicing, how
sad is the war and rumors of war.
I will tell the sisters how I do my
bit in cutting my bread bill in two. I
have a large sausage mill fastened to
; my cooking table and I grind dasheen
I and put it in my corn bread pancakes,
I biscuit, the sweetbread which is so nec
i essary where there are hungry chil-
I dren. We like these much better with
it than without it. I did not realize
I what a Godsend dasheen was till I
] read Uncle Sam's bulletin on it.
Come again, Kitty Wells. Long live
Mrs. Thomas and Mrs. Felton. An old
reader but new writer.
EMMA SINGLETON.
Wetappo, Fla.
! Dear Household: Will you let one of
the pioneers come in? lam with an old
lady ninety-three years old. She is
blind, can’t see at all, but she knits
wash rags for the soldiers. I like my
work fine. I. too, have time to knit,
crochet and read. and enjoy all.
Shall try to get the Household
pages from papa’s soon, and then
I will enjoy my reading more. I
can’t tell how much I wish each member
would write to our page. Please do.
There used to be a number of letters
twice a week. We felt like we knew
each other. Come again. It doesn't re
quire much time, and the pleasure it
gives others is worth a lot more than
the trouble and time. Tell us your ex
periences since last you wrote We
need encouragement, and cheerful let
ters now If we ever did. So many of
us have dear ones in France and in the
camps that we put our minds in a griev
ing way. Letters of cheer will help us.
I have dear ones away. But I am not
alone in that. Would be glad to read
letters from Mrs. Alexander now. con
cerning the twins. Guess they keep her
mind this side of France and the
camps.
Christmas was pleasant, but I was
not at home more than thirty-six hours.
Os course I enjoyed the time immensely, j
I am only about two miles from home
now.
The new year seems right bright to I
me. I think life is what we make it, i
to a great extent, so let us look for our i
blessings, and when we count them we i
can’t conscientiously look too much on
the dark side of life.
Come one and all and tell us all about I
yourselves,’ give reasons for your ab
sence, for we feel we have a right to
know about our dear old jnembers.. As
for me, now, I have been so busy ani
from place to place so I haven’t tried
to write often. Seems to me Mrs. Rus
tic and Euclea could write oftener.
Would be glad of cards from my old
friends of the Household. Receiving
and and answering mail is one of my
greatest pleasures now.
Here is wishing each one and our
dear editress the happiest New Year
ever. Sincerely.

STRIKE IN GERMANY
BEATEN BY POWER
OF ARMED FORCE
i Lack of Funds and Fear of
Death and Starvation Halt
Uprising, Workers Returning
to Their Jobs
GENEVA, Feb. s.—German strikers
threw a bomb against the imperial pal
ace in Berlin, according to dispatches
received from that city today by the
Journal de Geneve. No details were
given.
WASHINGTON, Feb. s.—The Ger
man mailed fist has won against her
striking workers.
Lack of funds with which to finance
their movement, fear of starvation
threatened by the Teuton war chiefs
and the presence of guns and ammuni
tion, both of which the military prom
ised to use freely on organized crowds,
has sent most of the workers back to
their industries.
The strong arm—always Germany’s
favorite diplomacy—now promises to
be used more relentlessly than ever.
She finds herself today not only threat
ening with guns her enemies without,
but forcing her own people to work at
the point of the same weapons. In this
fact, officials here today saw the possi
bility of promising events in the fu
ture.
The reported arrest and sentence of
Wilhelm Dittmann, radical Socialist
deputy, for participating in the strike
movement, indicates the length to
which the war lords are determined to
go.
The situation as developing in the
central empires today permits of only
two courses, as international experts
here see it. • The peace sentiment
throughout tho Teuton countries has
reached the stage where half-way meas
ures, deceitful diplomatic moves and
other devices of the German chiefs
practiced to humor the people, can no
longer “get by.”
The experts believe: Either Ger
many must make an honest, unmasked,
open move for peace or Germany must
more than ever throw control of the sit
uation into the hands of the military, cut
off peace talk as she stopped the strikes
jand depend on a military victory on
the west front to re-establish the confi
dence of her people.
If the kaiser is given pause by the
recent uproar in his country, he will
choose the first course, but if Teuton
precedent is followed, the second course
will be pursued, it is believed here. •
The kaiser has passed through his
greatest internal disorder to date, with
the military colors still triumphant.
What will develop the next time the
workers revolt —and how soon such in
cident may ccgne—are now contemplated
with interest by officials here.
Meantime, America’s war work is
speeding up as at no previous time Jn
the war. And greater confidence is reg
istered that this year will develop the
telling stroke, as demanded by Presi
dent Wilson.
Suffering in Germany
Worse Than imagined
LONDON, Feb. s.—Secret knowledge
j in the possession of the British govern-
I ment regarding conditions in Germany
may have influenced the uncompromls
-1 ing attitude adopted by the inter-allied
council at Versailles.
Food conditions in the central em
pires are known to be increasingly se
rious. The Russian "Storehouse” Upon
which the central empires were count
ing to relieve their own hunger is
locked, because Trotzky, Russian
foreign minister, outmaneuvered both
the central powers and the Ukrainians
Germany’s plight is indicated by the
recent order forbidding relatives to
send parcels of food to officers held
prisoners in England and France and
directing that money be sent instead.
This has resulted in deciding to cut off
export of thousai.-.ls of parcels from
Germany weekly. The exchange tele
graph declares that mail from relatives
I to prisoners here totals 500,000 letters
a fortnight.
Incoming letters, it is said, reveal a
state of affairs in Germany infinitely
worse than heretofore reported.
Diseases due to under-nourishment
are increasing, it is reported, and dis
content is evidenced among all classes.

EUROPEAN MONARCHS.
I Except France and Switzerland, every
i prominent country in Europe had its
! monarchical ruler at the outbreak of
1 war in August, 1914. Russia has lost,
its czar and King Albert of Belgium is
iin exile at this time. All our allies are
monarchies, except France. It is hard
to understand conditions as we com
! ment on our liabilities and assets in
i war matters,
Germany and Austria have monarchs,
and Austria’s ruler is only the tool of
I the kaiser. Bulgaria is mixed up with
i Turkey and both have monarchs.
It is predicted, and confidently hoped
for, that this European war will re-
■ map Europe. It may and it may not, be
; cause Poland is in absolute control of
Germany. It looks like Germany can
; push a button in Russia and the mob
I will do the rest. With Austria-Hungary
;in close alliance with Germany, with
Turkey in close alliance with the ene-
■ mies of the allies, with a king in Italy,
' things are very much mixed as to where
I monarchs fade out and democracy
i comes on the stage. England is what is
known as a limited monarchy. Canada,
our near neighbor, is a part of the Brit
-1 ish government, with home rule and
other privileges, unknown to Germans
and her warlike allies.
The republic of France differs from
the republic of the United States in
: many’ essential particulars. It is w’ell to
' understand this now. To be entirely
candid, this government of ours is still
on trial. It has lasted a good many
years—since July 4, 1776, —but it is, by
comparison, a new government com
i pared with European governments now
lin bloody conflict. There is so much
I confusion, things are of such mighty
1 magnitude, and difficulties are so many
that I think we in the United States
should unite in Kipling’s Recessional —
“Lord. God of Hosts, be with us yet.”
Snch a January!
The month is going out fast and it
has been a record-breaker to be sure.
From first to last rain, snow, sleet and
blizzard temperature prevailed. The sun
when it came out once and occasionally
could not melt the sleet on the limbs
of the trees. It was bitter cold nearly
all the time.
If the coal situation had been less
acute the suffering would have been, in
a measure, more tolerable. But this hard
old January month is getting off our,
hands. Good-by, and for all the suffer
ing that you have inflicted on the sol-,
dier boys, in camps and French trenches,
we can hardly ever forget you! The only
thing you can do for us will be tho
recollection that you have made war
times so gloomy and so terrible that;
maybe peace will not be long deferred.
“Blessed are the feet of those who,
shall bring the glad tidings of great,
peace!"
The mortality in camps has been par
alelled by the mortality among aged
people. Mental suffering has a great
deal to do with our physical being.
It was often remarked during the Civil
war Snd immediately thereafter that
elderly people died off at a high per-,
centagc rate. Those of you who over
look the mortuary record in the daily]
papers will remark the excessive death)
rate among men and women near to and)
over seventy. These are depressing,
things to dwell upon, however. “Smile
age” is the new’ name for cheerfulness,
under difficulties. Smileage will con-:
tinue with us as the word “camouflage”
has grown tenacious. The latter word,
stands in the dictionary for deceit—hid-
I ing something, etc., etc. Gloomy old,
January did not put on any airs. It put)
its worst foot forward all the time. ,
Doesn’t It Make Ton Shudder?
When I read in a newspaper that a
cotton bale haxi to be examined at the
warehouse tor some reason only to find
that a human being s remains were im
bedded therein, and that the poor negro,
by, some strange fatality, had his life
crushed out of him in the cotton coin
press and nobody the wiser.
The manager of the business of bal
ing cotton gave all the facts that he
could furnish, the negro helper had been
left there while he went to his dinner
and he supposed the poor victim de
cided to lie down and sleep inside the
baling machine. Not knowing this the
manager started the machine and never
suspected the awful happening until the
cotton bale was opened. I have a sort
of creepy feeling every time it crosses
my mind.
And I have frequent shuddering spells
i when I read about the awful slaughter
of human beings over in French trench
es, especially when our own soldier boys
are the victims. My old heart longs
for peace so that these soldier boys
suay get home to thei’- friends and thei'-
fiothers. I never shall forget how T
elt when the word came that our sol
dier boys in the Civil war could come
home and stay at home, although we
had to accept defeat and experienced
surrender.
The south had reached a place where
our troops were fighting against hope
and I heat d some of them talk about
how they felt when they started home
ward from Appomatox Courthouse.
They were in sore want and with sore
feet, but that meant but little compared
with starting home, and to be alive.
The only cheap thing in the world
today is human life. How I do long
for the time when we can lie down at
qight and i feel relieved of this awful
strain of anxiety and apprehension.

May Be Served Extra
WASHINGTON. Feb. s.—After con
ferences today bet wen Director Genera'.

field it was definitely decided that the
heatless Mondays can not be aban
doned, as had been hoped, because
storms and cold have so badly crippled
the movements of fuel.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.—A two-ounce
bread ration was ordered by the food
administration today for patrons of ho
tels. restaurants and dining cars. This
allowance is about that now observed
in England.
Telegrams went out today to the
food administration’s hotel representa
tives in every state designating the
new ration. Not more than two ounces
of bread may be served‘to any one at
any one meal except that when rolls
or bread made from corn, oatmeal oi
bran ore served and when only one
kind other than wheat bread is ordered,
a portion may consist of four ounces.
Rolls may not weigh more than one
ounce each.
Public eating places are now licensed
under the new bread regulations and
the bread ration rule is issued under
this authority. Hotel representatives
have been instructed to see that imme
diate observance is given in hotels for
Monday and Wednesday as wheatless
day, Tuesday as meatless day, Saturday
as porkless day and that there is one
wheatless meal and one meatless meal
every day.
600 Steamships Will
Observe the “Less” Days
WASHINGTON. Feb. s.—Operators of
more than 600 steamships have agreed
to adopt the wheat and meat-saving
menus proposed by the food administra
tion for ships plying in the Atlantic
and Gulf’ of Mexico.
With eight wheatless meals a week,
one meatless day a week and one meat
less meal a day. it is estimated that
a reduction of about 50 per cent in
wheat and meat consumption will be ef
fected. In addition, consumption of pork
is to be cut about 75 per cent by serv
ing that product only three times • a
week.

NEW YORK, Feb. s.—Mr. Hoover,
won’t you have some whale meat?
Thirty members of the American Mu
