WASHINGTON'. March 17. Negotia tions for transfer of 150.000 tons of Japanese shipping: to tho United States have been completed on the basin of two tons of steel for one ton of dead weight of ship capacity. This agreement Is understood to be in the nature of a preliminary one In tended to bridge over the period of negotiations now being conducted by American Ambassador Morris at Tokio for a wider and more permanent under standing. Signing of the agreement is all that remains. The Vnited States first asked for S00.000 tons of ships and negotiations proceeded on that basis until the Rus sian debacle brought up the possi bility of Japanese action in Siberia. Japan was unwilling: to relinquish more than 150.001) tons, asking in return the lifting of the steel export embargo so that she might replace the ships with new ones. As one ton of plates makes about three tons of shipping, she will gain 60 per cent shipping capacity in the cud. Prices -which the United States and Japan will pay for the ships and steel, respectively, have not been made public. It is understood that the Shipping Board, which administers tho law sus pending the prohibition against foreign vessels entering trade between Ameri can ports will put no obstacle in the way of Japanese shipping firms obtain ing permits for trade between the Pa cific Coast and Hawaii. While the big Japanese liners always stop at Holo lulu between Yokohama and American ports, they have been prohibited by law from taking any passengers or cargo between the island and the main land of the United States. PAJUS, March 27. Intervention by Japan in the Kuropean war was soli cited by France at the end of August, 1914. according to a detailed account by M. Bernard, the historian, as pub lished today in the Excelsior. Theo phlle Delcasse took charge of the For eign Office on August 2S. His first I step was to draft a note to the emperor of Japan, In his own hand. M. Bernard says the noto was communicated to the British Ambassador. The reply was that Japan's policy was entirely Ori ental and that her army was not pre pared for active outside that sphere. M. Bernard denies, on the authority of M. Delcasse himself, a report which has been current for a long time that Japan demanded the cession of Indo china by France as the price of her intervention.

Let us live well, eat well, digest well, work well, sleep well and look well; what a glorious condi tion to attain, and yet how very easy it is if one will only adopt the morning inside bath. Folks who are accustomed to feel dull and heavy when they arise, splitting headache, stuffy from a cold, foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach, can, instead, feel aa fresh as a daisy by opening the sluices of the system each morning and flushing out the whole of the internal poisonous stagnant mat ter. Everyone, whether ailing, sick or well, should, each morning, before breakfast, drink a glass of real hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it to wash from the stom ach, liver and bowels the previous day's indigestible waste, sour bile and poisonous toxins. The action of hot water and limestone phosphate on an empty stomach is wonderfully invigor ating. It cleans out all the sour fer mentations, gases, waste and acidity and gives one a splendid appetite for breakfast. The millions of people who are both ered with constipation, bilious spells, stomach trouble; others who have sal low skins, blood disorders and sickly complexions are urged to get a quarter pound of limestone phosphate from the drug store. This will cost very little, but is sufficient to make anyone a pro nounced crank on the subject of inside bathing before breakfast. Adv.
