Mr. G. F. Wonton, head foreman of the
Bysulla Fira Biatlon, Bombay, has seen alghteen years Fire Brigads. Service in Indis, it is not surprising therefore, that, sa a result of this arduous occupation, he fell victim to severe Boisties some years ago. Cared of the Soistios by a surgical operation, this debilitating disease left him an emaciated, nerve-tortared wreak, until Dr. Williams' Pink Fills dispelled his pains, built up his nerves, and set him on his feet, once again a strong, vigorous, and it may be added-exosedingly grateful man.

AMERICA AND JAPAN.
VIEWS OF ME LATE ME. D. W. STEVANS
HE. Baron Kogo Takahira, the Japanese Ambassador to the United States bas written an interesting article on the late Mr. D.-W. Stevens, who was for many years adviser to the Korean Government, and met his donth Inat year at San Francisco by the hands of Korean 188assic. The Minister writes:
Perhaps the best evidence of Mr. Stevang'e loyalty to-America and Japan za furnished by a letter he wrote while in Tokyo to a distinguished offer of the America avy just before he started on bis ill-fated trip to Washington. A sopy of the lotter has been hauded to me, and I have been authorid to die it. It is as follows:
"Tokyo, December 24, 1967,

I wall probably Isave some time before the middle of January, and therefore, if all goes well, it will not be Isng after the arrival of this latter before I sball bare the pleasure of meeting you per sonally.
"You have already noticed, of course, that the departure of the set from Hampton Roads has been made the occasion of comment by a timber of prominent ofloisle and journalists in Japan. These expressions of opinion were elicited in response to requests from the United States, and are a true reflex of the risk hears expressed on all sides in this country.

The immigration question, as on at all familiar with the subject knows, presents a difficult problem. But a solution onorable to both parties can be found; and, as there is no good resson wby both of them should accommodation and good-will, I am conddent not deal with the matter in a spirit of mutual that such a solution will be reached. But, should Congress take the bits between ite teeth of sugar which cat swasten that pill to the and pass an exclusion bill, there is no amonat Japanese palate. There will, as before said. be no war, and the Philippines and Hawaian have always been, but the warm regard for Telanda will be as safe from attack then as they

Pardon me, my dear, if I appose to bo plying the part of a male Cassandra; but believe me, it is not without good reason, Ldate back, you know, ta the days of Ringham, those were not very far removed from the days of Perry and Townsend Harris; and I hare seen the lies which great mon areated strengthened by repeated proofs of unselfel friendship by the United States for this the most progressive and receptive among the nations of the East. Coincident with that, I have witnessed the growth of the firm belief ou the part of the people of Japan that the American Government and people are more than friends is the hnokn-yed and formal-sense of diplomatic as age, but sincere friends upon whose fraternal sympathy and regard they could always rely in the settlement of the perplexing problems created by their natural and legitimale national aspirations. It seems to me, therefore espaoist ly regretable that the warmth of this feeling, BO Destal to us in the fulfillment of our oWD reasonable ambitions in the Orient even if we regard it from a wholly selfish standpoint- should be coated by setion on our part. Abere all does this seems a pity, when auch action is the result of apprehension of dangers largely illusory, but which, eres at the worst, can ba avoided by the exercise of forbearance and practical good sense.
