REPLY Ambasador Forwards to -His Govern ment President Wilson's Answer to Protest Against California's Legisl ation Not Made Public. Sacramento, Cal., May 21. Gov. III ram W. Johnson Monday signed the alien land bill, against which Japan protosts and which tho California leg islature passed by an overwhelming1 majority over tho remonstrances of 'President Wilson and Secretary Bry an. Tho, act will go into effect Au gust 10, 90 days aftor tho adjourn ment of tho legislature, May 12. Governor Tohnson, In signing tho 'bill, gave out tho following statemont: "I repeat what 1 have before said: That California for tho. first time In its history has nn alien law. Any mnn who wishes another kind of a law may consistently Invoke tho Initiative No man who really wishes an antl-allen law will sign a referendum aB to this law. If another law is sought it may bo presented by means of the Initia tive, and In tho meantlmo tho present law will bo In operation. To tie up tho present law moans no law until November, 1914." Washington, May 21. The reply of - the United States to tho Japaneso pro test against tho enactment Of the Cali fornia alien land law was handed to Viscount Chlnda, tho Japaneso ambas sador, by Secretary of State Bryaa Monday. At tho same time a copy of the reply was cabled to Toklo for per sonal presentation to tho mikado's government by the American cbargo d'affaires. Owing to tho fact that Japan flatly refused' to mako public tho text of her original protest against the enforce ment of the b.111, government officials here said that tho United-States could' not publish tho text of tho American reply, which is couched in terms which correspond to tne protest in such a manner that tho latter could bo do ducod from tho former, 'tl Is undei stood, however, that tho Bryan reply Is every bit as frank-as was the pro test and that it outlines the United States position In no uncertain terms. Japan Is Informed that this govern ment is bound by the action of tho Cal ifornia legislature and governor, but "that tho administration has dono and will continue to do everything in Its . power to prevent the least breach In the friendly relations between the two governments. A new treaty is hinted ".at In the reply and it is furthor stated , that tho enforcement of tho law can probably bo deferred until aftor nego t tlatlons for this new treaty aro well " under way. ' This Is tho last step of this govern ment with respect to the Japanese sit uation. The next move will como from Toklo, and government officials said that it could not forecast with any de gree of certainty, but Governor John eon's action In signing tho bill would undoubtedly bring the situation to a ,, crisis.

KRUPP WORKS ARE CITED Secretary In Speech at Peace Meeting Asserts Atempt Is Made to In crease Dividends by Inciting Fear of Hostilities. Washington, May 20. In an ad dress at a meeting of tho Washing Ion Peaco society Sunday held to celebrato tho fourteenth anniversary of The Haguo Peaco tribunal, Secre tary Bryan created a stir by ntfcick Ing tho batteship building and armor plate companies. He said that they were responsible for many war scares just for tho sake of Inrrpfising their dividends. Ho re ferred to the recent charge by a mom her of tho German Ilelchstag that the Krupp works bought space in Germnn and French papers and hinted that similar conditions exist In this country. "War is never tho outcome of logic, but always tho result of sentiment," said Mr. Bryan. Tho secretary's address was re ceived with wild demonstration and at tho request of Representative Dart- uuiul a rising vole ot tlianks was given him. After tho. meeting tho crowds surged into tho streets before Mr. Bryan had a chance to leave, and ho was forced to shake hands for thirty minutes. "Wo understand as we grow in in telligence, what subsidized patriotism meaus; what it means for people to hide behind tho plea of patriotism as they attempt to advance their 'own pecuniary Interests. The world is learning that back of much of the furoro for war, back of much of tho string of the passions of tho pooplo Is the interests in armor plate and In battleships on the part of corpor ations whoso business it is to build theso battleships and to make this armor plate. It has even been found that men in one country will spend the money to stir up in another coun try a feeling against their .own coun try. If you can think of a baser uso of money than that you will have an inventive genius of which you may be proud. Is there any baser money than that of money used to stir up feeling against one's own country in order to coin that feeling into larger dividends and more business? "Not only that, but I bolievo that with a greater intelligence, people will begin to discriminate between patriotic newspapers and .newspapers which aro more Interested in big head lines and sensational .news than in the spread of truth.

HARMAN HAS RULES FOOD COMMISSIONER ISSUE9 REGULATIONS TO DEALERS. PLANS STRICT ENFORCEMENT Sanitary Lnwsof Nebraska Are to Bo Invoked, to End All Food Stuffs Shall Be Kept In Condition. Lincoln, Nob. Puro Food Commis sioner Hnrmnu has completed a bul letin of instructions to all handlers of foodstuffB of ovory nature as fol lows. x Adulteration of food products will bo deemed to exist If food In tho pro cess of manufacture, preparation, pack ing, storing, bale, distribution of trans portation Is Mot securely protected from flics, dust, dirt or from other for eign or Injurious contamlnatlonrnlso If tho utensils or receptacles used for handling food aro not In a clean nnd sanitary condition. Tills particularly applies to Boda fountains, restaurants, meat markets and all other places where food and dairy products are kept during the summer months. Ready-to-Eat Foods. The sanitary laws of Nebraska are euch thnt thoy demand that all ready, to-eat food products served, prepared or sold In any way must bo kept in compllanco with the law nnd at all times must bo properly protected In ovory way. This especially applies to necefisary coverings of container In which said food is kept. Tho definition of food as defined In tho sanitary law says, "Tho term 'food' as liorulu used shall Ineludo all articles UBcd for food, drink, confec tionery or condiments, whether simple, mlxod or compound, and nil substances or ingredients used In tho preparation thereof. Protection of Foods. Tho doom, windows and other open ing ot food producing or distributing establishments during tho fly soason shall bo lltted with self-closing screen doors and windows screened with screen of a not coarser than a four-teen-mesh wlro gauzo.

As a matter of protection to their own business Interests and to every person engaged in tho handling of food products, it Is necessary for them to comply with tho Nebraska sanitary laws In ovory wny. Tho public is also entltlod"'to this very necessary consid eration and protection, and must havo It against all odds and beyond any question. I have found It truo by ac tual demonstration that tho best method of enforcing popular law Is by a direct appeal to tho public, but In this Instance am making nn nppeal to both tho purveyor nnd consumer for a betterment of sanitary condi tions on ovory hand. To tho purvoyor of food I would say: Look well to your products; to tho consumer, Look, woll to your purchases of food pro ducts. See that thoy aro properly handled.
