MILITARY ORGAN *ACCUSES PREMIER Views of Old Clique Are Voiced .+ by the Kokumin, Japan —— Toklo, Oct. 5.—Views of the old' militaristic clique are volced by the Kokumin, the militgry and Jingo or- gan. In an editorial, the Kokumin accused Premier Kato of putting Ja- pan among the lesser powers by his armament reduction policies. The Kokumin said: 'Afters the Bino-Japanese war the Japanese beljeved they soon would be able to raise themselves to the posi- tion of a first class power. The vic- tory over Russia strengthened their bellef. The late Emperor and Prince Yamagata and the other deceased elder statesmen were inspired by the one ideal of making Japan a really grent country, “The late Mr. Hara took glory in speaking of Japan being a first-class power, he wishing to remove any doubt about the part Prince Salonji played at the Versailles conference. Premier Kato takes pride that he rep- resented one of the three greatest powers at the Washington conference. Does Premier Kato really think that Japan is one of the first-class powers of this world? “It is Premier Kato who agreed to the American proposal for limiting Japan's naval strength to 60 per cent of that of America and England. Dig he agree to the proposal in the be- lef that Japan is a first class. power or did he consent to a curtailment of Japan's naval strength under the impression that Japan is a second- class power? Or did he have no be- lef in the future of his country and signed the naval agreement to please the Americans and British? Destroyed Conviction “To speak frankly, Premier Kato, in signing the naval limitation agree- ment, destroyed the conviction which the Japanese had held since the day of Emperor Meiji. We do not particu- larly object to the agreement limiting the naval strength of Japan to 60 per cent of that of America and England. What we cannot tolerate is the ten- dency of authorities to limit the strength of auxiliary ships to the strength of capital ships. If Prem- ier Kato were firmly determined that Japan should become a first class pawer he would not have signed the naval limitation agreement. The ex- cuse may be offered by Premier Kato that the force of circumstances com- pelled him to agree to the American proposal. If so, there is no reason why he should not take measures which should make Japan first class in a military sense of the word. In- stead of doing this Premier Kati fis apparently taking the situation for granted. “The factor which determined the greatness of a country is the gental attitude of its, people. Japan made great progress when her people were moving under = the conviction that their country should be raised to the position of a first class power. Bhe i now treading the downward path with her people satisfled with holding the position of a second class nation.” MISS FORSYTH ENTERTAINS, At the home of' Miss Margaret For- syth of 125 Tremont street, |\gst night, a reception and party was held in honor of Martin Malia, of Thomp- sonville, and Miss Anna Shea, of Springfield, Mass., who are to be mar- rled shortly.

A SIN TO LET HAIR FALL OUT 35¢“Danderine” Saves Your Hair—Ends Dandruff! Delightful Tonic Hurry! It's your duty! Each day you see a liftle more hair falling out and you are making no effort to avoid baldness. What a pity. Fall- ing hair means your hair is weak, sick, possibly dandruff is strangling it, or the hair root pores in the scalp are not firm and tight, thus wasting the hair-growing oils. Danderine almost instantly stops falling hair of men or women and cleans every particle of dandruff awty, then the hair takes on new life, vigor and strength to grow strong, thick, and long. Danderine is delightful—not sticky or greasy. Go to any drug store now and get a bottle ee it. Have healthy, heavy, beautiful hair and lots of it.

Strikers' Connsel Charges Bad Faith in Pledges 5—(By Associated Press.)—Appearing before Federal Judge James H. Wilkerson today, Donald R. Richberg, attorney for the rallway shop crafts, accused the de- partment of fustice of lack of good faith in the proposal to expedite final disposition of the injunction against the rail strike leaders.’ Mr. Richberg declared that he and associate counsel had held an Wunsat- isfactory conference with Solicitor Gen. Beck after a futile attempt to see Attorney Gen. Daugherty in Wash- ington with reference to an early final hearing or a review of the in- terlocutory injunction handed down by Judge Wilkerson on September 25. In conmection with his statement to the court in which he recalled that Judge Wilkerson had notified the government it should hold fitself in readiness to go to trial at an early date, with the suggestion that oppos- ing counsel attempt to agree on a trial program, Mr. Richberg deliver- ed to the court a copy of a letter to Solicitor Gen. Beck severely criticis- ing the position of the government attorneys. After delays and disappointments over the October 2 appointment with the government attorneys, Mr. Rich- berg said he had received a letter from the solicitor general asserting the position of the department of jus- tice to be as follows: Text of Letter. “1—1It it were practicable to have three circult judges near the case that percentage would not expedite, but delay it. “2—That the' department {nvite counsel for the defendants to consider agreeing on a statement of facts and asks counsel for the defendants to submit such a statement of facts. “8—If an agreed statement of facts is not practicable then two courses are open: “(A) A stipulation to submit the case on the affidavits with leave to either party to offer additional testi- mony. 2 “(B) A trial of the case largely on depositions taken ’throughout the United States’ except where a stipu- lation of facts may dispense with for- mal proof.” In the letter replying to Solicitor Gen. Beck, Mr. Richberg said: “There are two matters which the defendants desire to have expedited.| First, a review of the interlocutory injunction and second a final hearing of the case. Your suggestions affect only the second matter and practical- ly ignore the matter of probably Chicago, Oct. wse| Tgel from the student body and what SIXTH INNING ' Yankee center fielder, kicking up a cloud of dust as he slid into baseman.

CORN GRIT USED AS MONEY IN HOSCOW People Buy Things With Their *Products of the Ground Chicago, Oct. 5—(By the Associ- ated Press)—Corr grits contributed by western and midwestern farmers are used as money to buy needed supplies for Armenian sufferers, ac- cording to Alonzo Wilson, national director of the Near East Relief, Mr Wilson has just returned from a tour which included Armenia and South- ern Russia. “Corn grits are used principally in original form to feed the starving, but what can be spared is used to buy other things, such as meat,” Mr. Wil- son explained. ‘“Corn grits fetch two cents a pound and have supplanted rubles in Armenia as the accepted currency. Fifteen hundred carloads, carried to the Armenia seaboard gra- tis by the railroads, have been ship- ped to Armenia since last October.
