VA, January 3.—Japan has n advantage of the recess in the in- fonal opium conference to issue a ‘green book telling about what the rry Blossom Empire has accom- d in fighting the oplum evil. The Japanese pamphlet bears the au- thor signature of Sagataro Kaku, former 1 governor of Formosa, who has been e leader. though the silent onhe, of the Nippon delegation. Mr. Kaku asserts that the reason why Jupanese people have not so far ‘allen into the opium habit must be at- ibuted not only to the government's efforts, but also to the sincere desire of the Japaness people to suppress the habit. He praises Viscount Goto for a far-sighted polley which has brought euch happy results in the lessening of the use of opium in Formosa, and éx- préesses the opinion that no epium policy can hope to meet with #ucocess unless arked by moderation and accompanied s by a personal Interest in the lem Mr. Kalin says that the use of opium | in Formoea will probably come to end with the death of the present addicts, or no opium is allowed to the youns, and he cites the case of Formosa as an example for other powers, believing it demonstrates that the opium scourge can be overcome by the exerclse of | vatience and strict control .EIGHT MEN ARRESTED IN RUM LABEL PLOT Band Accused of Selling Printed Matter to Bootleggers and Beer Runners.

Special Dispateh to The Star. ALBANY, N. Y., January 3—A sad blow has fallen in the office of Mrs. Florence E. S. Knapp, the new secre- tary of state. It took the form of rules promulgated to the woman em- ploves as a special week end present. In_brief, here they are: No gossip in the offics; no visiting during working hours; be on the job at 9 o'clock sharp. When stationery or supplies are needed, don’t leave your desks to go after them, but ask the messenger. The firet and second rules were a distinct shock to those clerks who know the practices that exist in some of the other State offices. So many women now hold jobs in the office of the secrctary of state that Mrs. Knapp announced she would have to seek authority for appoint- ment of & male messenger to handle “from the Bahamas by the ported 7 can Museum of Natural History. ri R 2> some of the heavy books with which they have to deal.

Secretary Wilbur has received and read the report of the special naval board of inquiry which investigated in New York the publication of cor- between Capt. Hugo W. at the War College, New- port, . and Capt. Robert L. Berry, in chatge of naval recruiting at New York, held to have contained certain confidentfal Information. The report has been referred to Rear Admiral Latimer, Judge Advo- cate General, for review, and Secre- tary Wilbur would not disclose in advance of the report from Admiral Latimer whether court-martial pro- Geedings against either of the officers -weére contemplated. The ingnity board did not disclose anything not already known o the Navy Departmant, Socretary Wilbur sald. One phase of the Investigation might be referred back to the board for further consideration, he added, although this was not cértain. In any event the Beoretary indicated that he would withhold final action until he had before him the opinion of the Judge Advocate General and had also consulted the Bureau of Navigation, i in chargé of commissioned personnel matters. The information revealed in the published correéspondence had to do with results of a war game played out on the gameboard at the War College in Néwport. While the specific disclosure involved may not be vitally important the attitude of the Naval Secretary has been that {mformation of this character must be treated as strictly confidential by al officers and there has been some suggestion in the Osterhaus- intended to impress erally with the obligation that with commis- sloned rank not to reveal matters which might be of value to an enemy.

BETTER YEAR SEEN FORD. C. RETAILERS Much Optimism, Both for Business and Employ- ment, Is Expressed. Washifigton faces a year of con- stantly increasing retail trade, with a good outlook and much optimism ex- pressed for 1925. The bullding pro- gram for the year will be somewhat curtailed notwithstanding that plans for two large office buildings have been prepared and will be carried out s00n. While there will probably be less bullding of apartment houses and of- there is expected to be great ty In home construction and ob- servers regard the future with the expectation that this work will afford #teady employment to skilled and un- skilled workers in the building trades. The vear opens with a surplus of clerical workers apparent, largely due to a general reduction {n Government personnel, and with a surplus of sales people. Tt s doubtful that this con- dition will improve to any considerabje extent during 1925, according to Hobert M. Pilkington, director of the Gov- ernment employment office at 1410 Pennsylvania avenue, who has made an extensive study of the probable employment conditfons during the year just begun.
