These statements which were made to the Associated Press were lso looked upon as paving the way for an international discussion of naval policies. Representative Jap anese declared that if the naval race between Great Britain and the United States ' continues, Japan must be bilged eventually to drop out be cause of financial considerations. lukto Ozaki, ex-minister of Justice and one of the leaders in the move ment for a curtailment of naval ex- enditures. delivered lectures to great crowds In 15 cities recently and he announced that 98 per cent of the people who heard him expressed hemselves in favor of armament re ductions. Publishing Vice-Admiral Kato's statements to the Associated Press, the newspaper Nichi Nichi Shimbun of this city, quoted naval officials as saying that the minister of marine clearly explained Japan's position. They were of the opinion that Presl- ent Harding would call a naval con ference, but emphasized the fact that the real difficulty would coma in finding a formula for carrying out a reduction of naval programmes. -The Yoml-Url Shimbun of this city, declared it was convinced that M. Kato consulted the cabinet before making his statements, and there fore, they could be interpreted as em bodying the Intentions of the govern ment. The newspaper said that con sidering the minister's Insistence be fore the diet upon his project for an eight-battleship, eight-battle cruiser project, his new declaration was sur prisingly inconsistent and liable to confuse people as to its real sig nificance.

When her son, ex-Prince Joachim committed suicide in Berlin last July, ne was in Bucn a serious condition that news of his death was keDt from her for a long time and it was said sne never learned he killed himself. Last autumn, the ex-empress' con- aiuon gradually became worse and on several occasions her children were called to Doorn. but her strength was sucn mat sne rained bravely when the end was believed imminent. Since the first of this year it had been known that she was gradually sink ing. Ex-Emperor and Prince Adalbert were at the bedside when the ex- empress died. They had been called by Dr. Haesner, who attended the ex-empress throughout her residence In Holland. Death Comes as Shock. The death came as a shock to the dwellers in Doom castle, as during last week the patient's condition had seemed less serious. Nevertheless. last Saturday. Dr. Haesner, after con sultation wth Professor Hymans, the Dutch heart specialist, thought it advisable to send a message to Princess Victoria Louise, the only daughter of the ex-emperor and em press, calling her to Doorn. The princess, who then was in Vienna, had not reached Doorn when . her mother died. Last night the patient was only semi-conscious. She was kept from suffering by freauent hypodermic in jections, but her breathing appeared to become hourly more difficut. Ex-Kaiser Stays Until End. As the day broke breathing be came still more difficult, for the fall ing patient and her pulse grew weaker. It was then evident to the physi cians that the end was near, and Dr. Haesner varned ex-Emperor William and Prince Adalbert of its approach. The ex-empress became unconscious and her breathing-became fainter and fainter until at 6 o'clock life left her frail body. ' The ex-emperor stood at the bedside with bent head as death came to his consort and he remained in the room for some time afterward.

Unless the gov. ernment interferes, memorial services an attack calculated to cause dissat isfaction among the civil populations. Matthews,- speaking from a plat form in Hyde ' park yesterday, was alleged to have declared: ."Now la the time to overthrow the rotten government system and the capitalistic class." The London Times warned its read ers against expectation that the ne gotiations would proceed smoothly, or that work would be immediately re sumed, as the fundamental differences between the parties still remained acute. Estimates of the cost of the miners' dispute to the country, including the loss of unmined coal, unpaid wages, decreased railway traffic and the cost of emergency measures, place the bill v. hich the country is paying because of the strike at nearly 16,000,000 a week. Leaders of the "triple alliance," of labor viewed the situation today as being considerably improved, John Robert Clynes, chairman of the par liamentary party, being qnotea a saying he was satisfied a solution of the problem could be found. Labor Victory Claimed. Dally Herald, organ of labor, de clared. "the first round has been won by labor," adding that reports of rail men opposing the strike were untrue or grossly exaggerated. Information has reached tne gov ernment. said the London Time3, that everywhere but in Fifeshlre, the min ers were observing Instructions from their officials not to interfere with safety measures and pumping, which have already begun in South Wales and elsewhere. Mr. Lloyd George today told the miners and the owners: We have definitely concluded that we could not recommend to parna ment that we continue paying profits to the owners, and the owners to the men, from the general taxes of the country." In proposing the full plan for set tlement, the premier said: "First, let the mine owners present their case for their new scale. They should put their case fully. Then the miners should present their case, or their view of the owners' new demands, with any schemes or plans they may have, stating their case fully and en terlng into the whole matter exhaus tively on both sides. Basis for Settlement Asked. We want these two counter pre' sentments to . be the basis upon which we can examine the whole sit uation on both sides. Then I sug gest that you intrust to a small body the examination of those proposals t quite informal body and a quite in formal examination and that this small body should report afterwards to the full body here, and that then we should endeavor to arrive at a de cision." The miners' executives conferred for some time after the owners and premiers. At the conclusion of the miners' meeting, one of the miners characterized the situation as hope ful, saying he believed that there was no danger that a triple alliance strike would be begun Tuesday night Manifesto Is Issued. The triple alliance tonight Issued a manifesto setting forth its case in detail for firmly supporting the miners in resisting the "monstrous proposals of the mine owners and defending the standards of living of the working class and the vital trade union policy of national wage agree ments." The manifesto blamed the premier and the government for the trouble and strongly protested against call ing up the government's odious expe dient of forming a volunteer force as an instrument against organized la bor, whereby the government lightly assumed the responsibility of pro voking bloodshed and civil war.

' PARIS, April 11. (By the Asso ciated Press.) It is no longer doubted in circles here, considered to have the best sources of information, that France will, either alone or In com mon with the allies, take radical ac tion against Germany if satisfactory assurances regarding the payment of reparations are not forthcoming by -uay 1. What form the action will take i st'll only a matter for surmise, but semiofficial opinion is that it will be such as to impress the German peo Pie as they have not been impressed since the armistice. Th occupation of the Ruhr valley and entire 'ndustrial region of West phalia has been advocated by some Others are convinced that the French army should this time go to Berlin in order to make sure, they argue, of finishing a task which they hold would be accomplished much more cheaply in the long run by this method than through the successive application of lesser penalties. it is thought in official circles here that the Berlin government is well awara that there remains no room for procrastination after the end of this month. Hence, after failing to interest the United States in her case, as the French interpret the out come of the recent correspondence between Berlin and Washington, Ger many is understood to have made I tentative effort to draw Switzerland into the reparations question as mediator. It is understood Czecho-SIovak'a disposed to join in the application of economio penalties against Germany. ana even to contribute if desired. A change in the French govern ment in May, with a cabinet headed by Former President Poincare in power, is predicted in well-informed parliamentary circles In case Premier Brland should not succeed in putting eiiecuve pressure upon Germany.

Fabulous tales he told of his travels and the wonders which he had seen. Much he marveled at the bank notes which in the poetical language of the Flowery Kingdom were called "flying money." He tells us these Chinese notes consisted of pieces of cotton paper about a palm in length and breadth upon which certain lines, resembling the seal of Mangu Khan, were printed. These notes must have greatly facil itated the early commerce of China. For thousands of years Chinese merchants have had their caravans, their trade routes, and their far-away customers.
