Poetry of China
Is World's Best,
Declares Poet
Japan, Howe ver, Lead World
In Drama Field, Witter
Bjnner Tells Omaha Fine
Arts Society,
"In i few ytari, occidental poU
are go'ng to turn to the poetry of
China with reasoned reverence,
"aid Witter Bynncr in hi talk be
fore the Fine Arts society Tuesday
afternoon at the Fontenelle. lie in
tinted that oriental poetry had not
had a fair chance in this country,
for the "translations are overladen
with imagery, color and decoration
which are not in the originals and
which detract from their strength."
Mr. Bynner has recently returned
from a year in ..Japan and China,
and his subject was "A Poet's Im
pression of the Orient," but for the
most part his remarks were such as
any keen, sensitive and observant
student of the countries might have
made, He did not confine himself
to poetry or the drama, but spoke
quite freely of racial traits and
political currents.
Racial Vanity Dangerous.
Of the Japanese, he said that the
floating peak of Fuji Yama was
symbolic of a Buddhistic quality of
peace and wisdom which broods
over the people, and which Amer
icans overlook in their estimate of
Japanese character. He' quoted
Tagore's remark to America con
cerning the Japanese:
"You have made them over in'
your own image and you now ".re
" afraid of them." Mr. Bynner likened
them to the German people in senti
mentality and collective efficiency,
and in an unquestioning obedience
which betrays their better qualities.
Their vanity is dangerous, particu
larly their racial vanity, he said, be
cause they are the first who have
believed in a "divine right of race."
Although they do not profess
Christianity yet they live it toward
each other and in their reverence
for the Deity. The impression of
insincerity which they create arises,
in reality, from an extreme desire
to please..
Think By' Centuries.
"The abrupt rudeness of the
Chinese is positively refreshing after
a few months in Japan," said Mr.
Bynner,-. who finds in the Chinese
more qualities in common with our
own, a sense of humor and propor
tion, logic and a kind of horse-sense,
combined with tolerance, a toler
ance the missionaries deplore, for it
regards all religions as equally com
mendable. Both races are alike in
feeling a "deep and. utter contempt
for us r in spite of our success in
plumbing," he added.' "They do not
live in the span of a single life,
but look backward and forward .and,
think by centuries.".- ' -.-i
Of Japan's plea for more territory
for necessary expansion, he ' de
clared, "They do not need it.- When
they' go to Manchuria, and Formosa
they do not go. as colonists, but to
fill definite positions. . What thty
want is the control of natural re
sources for future use. I admire
many of the traits of the people, but
I deplore the policy of their govern
ment. And yet, their government
is only aping the governments of
Europe. It is struggling to survive,"
and it is significant that it is the only
Oriental power which has not iallcn ,
under fc-uropean control or become
disintegrated by European . - influ
ences." . ....
China is a Europe.
"China is not ' a nation, it is a
Europe, and that is what we do not
realize when we say, 'why doesn't
that country get together and settle
down,' Each province has its own
language, customs and .aspect. Their
people differ in looks as Scandina
vians from Italians," said Mr. Byn
ncr. Most of Japanese art and sculp
ture is derived from the .Chinese,
and Mr. Bynner found their archi
tecture inferior to the more massive
and impressive Chinese style of
building. The Shinto temples of
Japna are mere rough log affairs,
quite bifre within, and are supposedly
torn down every 20 years to indi
cate that man is fleeting. But in
the realm of the drama, Mr. Byn
ner, himself a dramatist, considers
that Japan is leading the world.
Recitei Japanese Poem.
The speaker gave a vivid and en
tertaining imitation of the heroic
manner of speech which is used on
the stage, a guttural sing-song with
great variation in pitch and marked
rhythm. The actors are all men, but
they are highly finished in their por
trayal of women's parts. . '
He quoted a Japanese poem, com
plete in three lines. '
"An old pond
A leaping frog
The sound of water."
With the Japanese mind to inter
pret it, the few words mean vol
umes. .
In closing, Mr. Bynner made &
plea for the -understanding of other
races rather than, their exploitation
by America. i '
"There is no use in disarmament
conferences, in wars, or in politics,
he said, "until we accept the peoples
of the earth on a simple human
basis."

Great Increase
In Panama Canal
Traffic Forecast
Famous Engineer Rerom
mends Construction of Sea
Level Channel Be Started
Without Delay.
By HOLLAND.
Lieut. Col. Fhillippe Bunau-Varilla,
who was the chief engineer in the
construction of the Panama canal
when the French government con
trolled that project, is quoted as hav
ing said a day or two ago that the
American people should not permit
another month to pass without be
ginning work so that the canal can
be made, as the Suez canal now is,
a broad sea level channel. This
work could be completed in a few
years, he says.
This statement echoes assertions
made by General Serrell some years
ago. He knew the Panama isthmus
in all its various characteristics. He
was one of the engineers who sur
veyed the route for the Panama rail
road. He built the first suspension
bridge over the Niagara river and
also demonstrated to the state of
Massachusetts that it was possible so
to tunnel the Hoosac mountain as
to provide a double track roadway
so that a railroad could be operated
between Boston and Troy. His
reputation as an engineer was very
high. x
General Serrell vai convinced that no
canal could be constructed connecting
the . Atlantlo and the Pacific so as to
Klve adequate eervlce and complete sat
isfaction, unless It was made a sea level
canal. He frequently forecast the enor
mous traffic whloh ultimately would pass
through a Panama canal. When de
cision was made to construct the canal
with large locks, General Serrell, having
obtained necessary concessions, pur
posed the construction of a true sea-level
canal situated about 100 mllea south of
the proposed Panama canal. One lofty
mountain stood between the Pacific and
Atlantic ooast and the rest of the way
was a level plain extending from- the
Atlantic to the Pacific. .
Planned Waterway Tunnel."
General Serrell proposed to tunnel this
mountain, carrying the construction worlc
to such a height that vessels whose mast
reached high could pass through. When
this was done a sea-level canal could be
built at comparatively small cost. It would
require only certain construction work at
the Pacific end in order to equalise the
difference In tidal level between the Pa
cific and the Atlantic. General Serrell
was well started in this work when
death overtook him. It was then aban
doned. He always predicted, however,
that even if his own plan failed the
United States would find it ultimately
necessary so to improve the Panama
canal as to give it a broad and level
channel Btretching from the Atlantlo to
the Pacific.
Warner Miller, at the time' he was
United States senator from New York
and later, earnestly urged the construc
tion of the proposed canal by the Nlcar
augua route. The great lake In the cen
ter of that republlo could be utilised. In
any event, according to Senator Miller,
it would be necessary ultimately to con
struct a sea-revel canal. It may be that
Colonel Bunau-Varllla had Informally
learned that already government engi
neers are discussing the expediency of so
reconstructing the Panama canal as to
make it a true sea-level canst. He is
known to be in somewhat close personal
touch with some American engineers.
Possibly his suggestion may lead to ser
ious consideration of the plan.
Canal Commerce Increasing.
Already commerce passing through the
Panama canal la Increasing so rapidly as
to suggest that If this increase be con
tinued the capacity of the canal will be
tested to the utmost. At this time at
tention Is directed to the enormous move
ment of llumber from the Paclfio coast
through the canal to Atlantic ports.
Just before the completion of the Pan
ama canal, James J. Hill, when on one of
his visits to New York spoke of the op
portunity which the canal would furnish
for floating lumber from California,
Oregon and Washington ports and also
from Vancouver by an all waterway to
our Atlantic ports. He spoke somewhat
seriously. He even went so far as to In
timate that one of the traffic opportuni
ties which he had In mind when he
caused the Great Northern railroad to be
completed was the hauling of lumber
from the far northwest to the Mississippi
valley and even farther east. He per
fected plans Involving railroad and traf
fic agreements by means of which he ex
pected to be able to secure return traf
fic, principally from the south and the
southwest so that his transportation
movement would be profitable each way.
All that Mr. Hill then forecast is now
realised. Vancouver and the lumber dis
tricts of the British Pacific coast began
some years ago to ship lumber by way of
the Panama canal to Atlantic ports. The
rates were so low and the lup-.rer prices
so reasonable that it was sosslble to
market much of this lumber the mid
dle west In successful competition with
lumber hauled by the railroads.
Railroads Unable) to Compete.
About 0 per cent of the lumber cut
and prepared upon the Pacific coast for
shipment to the east now passes through
the Panama canal. Nearly 1S0.00O tons
were thus transported from the Pacific
coast between January 1 and July 1 of
this year. It may be that the high rail
road rates in great measure explain the
domination of the Panama canal for
transportation of Imber. But It Is be
lieved to be a serious question whether
the railroad rates can be so reduced as
to make It possible to gain some part
of the valuable lumber trafflo which Is
now carried on almost entirely by water.
While it Is not truo that the Panama
canal was not constructed at enormous
cost by the United States for the pur
pose of providing successful competi
tion to the railroads, for the Interna
tional features associated with the build
ing and operation of this canal were chiefly
In the mind of the government, never
theless It Is the fact that this waterway
so well constructed. Its tolls are so rea
sonable, its operation so satisfactory that
commerce Inevitably la making greater
and greater use of It.
Should a sea-level canal be constructed.
It probably would be possible considerably
to reduce, tolls since the cost of taking
a vessel through the canal would then
bo reduced. Probably lower freight
rates on shipments of lumber from the
Pacific eostt to th east will soon be
granted. Bat can tneso rates be put so
low aa to match the low rates which are
maintained for passage through the
Panama canal, without compelling the
railroads to carry this traffic at a loss?

and Financial News of
Chicago Grain
By CHARLES D. MICHAELS.
Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
Chicago, Nov. 8. Almost tvery
one on the floor of the Board of
Trade was trying" to uncover the
reason for the change in sentiment
regarding: wheat and the bulge In
wheat prices. Some were inclined
to believe that the big buying was
for the account of Armour and they
were following his buying in market
commitments. However, the buy
ing was mainly for the account of
some of the tig pit professionals and
a lack of selling pressure made it
easy for the bulls to effect an ad
vance. Resting spots were V3(
ljcgc higher. -Corn finished J3J4c
higher, and oats scored a similar
upturn. Rye was lc higher and
barley was VAc higher.
While wheat prices were again
higher; it is doubtful whether the
tone could be called better. It Is
true that sentiment was more friend
ly to the buying side, but the de
mand lacked solidity and was mostly
by pit professionals. There was
good commission house buying ol
December and this same sort-ot
buying has persisted for three days
and the trade is becoming impressed
by it.
Uttle Market News.
Talk of the market having turned for
the better la freely heard. There was
little In the news which could be called
bullish aside from the stronger cables, in
fact there was little news in circulation
to affect the market. Local receipts
were estimated at 10 cars,
Corn was quiet, but firm. Locals were
good buyers and there was some buying
by houses with, cash connections, May
was relHtlvely easier, owing to resting
orders- to sell that future at 630 in the
pit. There seemed to be a bet'er tone
to the shipping demand for corn, some
shippers said. - There was an export In
quiry and bids were not far away from
a working basis, utierings to arrive irom
the country were exceedingly light. Re
relnts were estimated at 165 cars.
A fairly good class of commission house
buying, together with tne nrmneas in
wheat, served to 1 advance values in oats.
The buying was led by concerns who had
been more or less active on this Bide the
last two or three days. Some pressure
was encountered from the local crowd, but
it failed to mako much of an impression
on prices. Buying of December against
sales of May at a difference of 5 cents
also was in evidence. Receipts were
estimated at only 60 cars.
Kye was firm. Cash No. S sold at
76M.C. Receipts were nine cars.
Pit Notes.
Minneapolis cash wheat premiums wera
unchanged. Trade was dull. Winnipeg
reported a good demand with premiums
firm. There was good buying In the
Winnipeg market by export houses.
The drouth in the western and south
western portions of the winter wheat belt
Is hpirinnlnar to attract more serious at
tention. The area affected covers eastern.
Colorado, western NeDrastca ana jiansas
and a good Bhare of Oklahoma arid the
Panhandle district of Texas. Fort Wortk
Elevator company, in a message to Lam
son Brothers said 8,000,000 acres of winter
wheat were suffering materially from tho
drouth and that much of the seed had
not sprouted, while tho acroage would be
much smaller than Intended. Colorado
messages were to the same effect and
Nebraska advices were pesslmlstlo In re
gard to the outlook.
Liverpool wheat prices advanced sharp
ly again and this tended to make a mora
cheerful sentiment, offsetting the effect
of the easier Argentine prices. It was
said that Argentine had removed the
export duty on wheat. On passage stocks
showed a decrease of over 3,000,000 bush
els and this, with the fact that there was
no longer pressure to resell from the
continent, Influenced the stronger at
Liverpool. 1 ,
A leader In the cash grain business. In
siimmlm? no Dresent wheat conditions,
said that the conatructive side of the
murket was logical now because or ine
smaller receipts, the fact that Canadian
hedging pressure had passed the peak,
that reselling from the Continent had
ceased, while English markets had hard
ened, and the posslbilitly of less favor
able developments in the Argentine. These
factors, in conjunction with the fact That
prices were the lowest In years, waro
taken to make a stronger situation.
' fc'hippeir here' reported a bot.er in
quiry for corn and said that soma of the
biat wert close to a working bapin.
Northwest Interests were credited with
heinir thf -nrinelnal buyers cf wheat this
morning. Hedging pressure on the spring
wheat markets has Decome rrmcn smaiier.
Some of the leading bulls of two
months ago are-sald to be reinstating
lines on a moderate scale. This buying,
alcng with that credited to local elevator
