Tokio, Jan. 18. (United Pre-n by
Mail) Chosen with the idea that he
will further the cause of friendship
between Japan and Russia and
strengthen the alliance recently con
cluded between the two erstwhile ene
mies, Viscount Yasuya Uchida, am
bassador to the United States in 1909
11, has been appointed as the new
Japanese envoy to Russia.
Viscount Uchida fills the post made
vacant when Viscount Motonq was
recalled to accept the position of for
eign minister in the new Terauchi
ministry. Besides his term in Wash
ington he has acted as ambassador to
Vienna, minister to China and was
foreign minister in 1911. He is con
sidered one of the most able diplomats
in Japan.
Politicians in Tokio take the conclu
sion of the Russo-Japanese pact last
'spring as tho beginning of a long
term of friendly political and commer
cial relations between the two coun
tries. Hut it is generally believed
that only a beginning has been made.
There is a generally accepted belief
that Russia requested Japan to wait
until the close of the war for signa
ture of additional clauses of the new
convention.
Viscount Motono is given the credit
for laying the foundation of the alli
ance with Russia. His service as for
eign minister is expected to be marked
with pro-Russian tendencies. Upon
Viscount Uchida, however, is placed
the responsibility of promoting rela
tions in Petrograd, so that after the
war, as well us the present, the two
nations will be best aligned for the
interests of the Far Eas.t

SOLID COMFORT
Standing, Sitting or Lying Down
WVsn you stop to think that you spend between five and six thousand
hours everi year in your corset, you must realize how imporfcin. it is
that you have a perfectly comfortable corset.
A poorly fitting corset frequently leads t severe nervous and organic
Ujiililes which cause years of sutlering.
In the MODART Corset we have a garment that always gives genuine
comfort, sitting, standing or lying down.
PAULINE I.KIV.RLK, Sommer Hotel Bldg.
Manchester, Eng., Jan. (i (United
Press by Mail) The British govern
ment's cancellation of the Ameririn
$(0,0()(),l)()() munitions contract justi
fies a sterner British naval policy tho
Manchester Daily Dispatch suggests
editorially.
The cancellation means more than
that Great Britain has overtaken her
requirements in the way of becomim;
independent of American aid, the pn
per says.
"We do not under value Ameri-an
help in this war," it says. "Without it
we thould have been at a serious dis
advantage. But America has provid
ed us with munitions for the sako of
our good graces. Every shell, every
gun and every machine tool has had
to be paid for, or will inevitably have
to be, in goods or gold."
"But that is not all. Almost from
the beginning of the war we have hnd
dinned into our ears that we must
adopt a 'pussy-footed' gait in our ex
ercise of seapower, lest we put up
the backs of the Americans and cause
them to shut down their supply of
munitions. Now that we are getting
into a postion in which we can do
without American help, it is to be
hoped that our diplomacy will pluck up
enough courage sto come from under
the table."
Judge Knowles has denied a motion
filed by defendant for a new trial m
tho case of Thomas Morgan against
James Johns, of Pendleton, in which
Morgan recovered a judgment for
$.r800, for alleged conversion of some
stock in a farming corporation. The
case has been appealed to the su
preme court by Mr. Johns.
A hearing is being held today bo
fore Court Reporter Hanna as referee
in connection with tho objections of a
number of creditors of the Metzler
Hegstead Lumber company, a bank
rupt lumber partnership of North .
I'owuer, to tne iinai account ot w. a. :
Hudelson, of that place, as receiver. :
An application for a further con- i
sideration of the questions involved In
the mortgage foreclosure on the '
Grand Ronde Cash company ware
house property him been filed with
Judge Knowles. The judge recently j
decided that the lien of the street as- j
sessments of La Grande, though made ,
after the mortgage, was ahead of it,
and that the lien of personal property ,
tax taxed by the county against th
real property would have been ahead
of both, had tho law authorizing such
action not been passed a later date
than the giving of the mortgage. The
latter question the judge is asked to
reconsider in a brief filed by attor
neys for the county. '
The city of Cove recently lost in the
preliminaries in the action wherein
the city was justified in taking up
two cows running at large on its
streets, under an ordinance passed by
its council in an action of replevin,
brought by the owner to secure pos
session. The court holds that the char
ter of Cove did not give the city pow
er to impound such stock. The matter
came before Judge Knowles a second
ime recently and he again ruled that
Cove's ordinance was passed without j
power. Jury trial will be had in Feb
ruary. !
Tickers Will Call

Tick! Tick! Tick! "No Quorum
the doorkeeper will lock the doors, the
sergeant-at-arms (via the ticker) will
rotify the absentees and the clerk wil
c.-ll the roll." And the "absentees",
reclining in their private offices i
the Senate office building, several
blocks from the capitol, will glance at
the tape und hurry, via their subter
ranean passageway, to the Senate
chamber to answer "present."
This will be the future procedure in
the upper house of Congress, and pos
sibly the lower, if plans being formu
lated today carry. The Senate cham
ber is to be connected up with tho
Senate office building, across the way,
with a regular "ticker" service, as are
slock brokerage offices.
