troops and was created a knight

of Sir Robert Borden, prime min
ister, followed long-oontinued fric
tion with his colleagues. An inves
tigation, conducted at Sir Sam's re
quest, into charges that he had made
3rofits from army contracts com
pletely exonerated him.

war and to promote greater effi
ciency, Sir Sam at one time proposed
a Canadian war council organized in
30ngland with a deputy minister of
ffllilitin. at Its hAri. Thu rana Hqn

death. He was always deeply inter
ested in military affairs and in bring
ing about the closest possible affilia
tion between Canada and the British
empire, and in many years before the
world war visited New Zealand and
Australia to induce them to prepare
to aid Great Britain in her wars.

TOKIO. Aug. 23. (By the Asso

growing hold on the political situation
has caused the Japanese to .compare
him with Premier Lloyd George of
Great Britain, remains adamant on
the question of disclosing the names
of Japan s delegates to the Washing
ton conference. The premier, it is de
clared, will await the return of Vis
count Chinda and Crown Prince Hi
rohito from their European tour so as
to consult them in the matter
If Mr. Lloyd George and Premier
Briand of France definitely decide to
go to Washington, it is declared that
Premier. Hara may go for a fortnight
so as to make the circle of premiers
complete. Should neither Premier Hara
nor Viscount Chinda go to the con
ference, it is considered almost a
certainty that Viscount Uchlda, the
minister of foreign affairs, will head
the Japanese mission. Among the
likely candidates mentioned for places
with the mission are Admiral Kato,
minister of marine; Viscount Ishii,
ambassador to France; Baron Hayashi.
ambassador to Great Britain, and
Baron Shidehara, ambassador to the
United States.
Admiral Baron Uriu Is prominently
talked of as a substitute for Admiral
Kato, while Viscount Kaneko's friends
are advocating his nomination as a
representative of the privy council and
also because of his familiarity with

Washington Executive Says He
Will Refuse to Sign Bills for
Extra Appropriations.
OLYMPIA, Wash., Aug. 23. (Spe
cial.) That no deficiencies in the ap
propriations for state departments or
state institutions will receive the ap
proval of Governor Hart should they
be presented at the next session of
the legislature in 1923, was made
plain by a statement of the governor
yesterday at a meeting of the admin
istrative board, when unanimous ap
proval was given to the course as
outlined by the governor.
When the administrative code began
to function in April of this year. Gov
ernor Hart requested of the ten di
rectors that they save 15 per cent of
the appropriations made by the legis
lature for their respective depart
ments and the governor announced
that according to the reports he has
received most of the departments
have been able to make this saving.
Should any unusual condition arise,
the approval of the administrative
board will be necessary before any of
the 15 per cent may be expended.
Inasmuch as the several depart
ments of the code have so far been
able to show a saving. Governor Hart
announced at the board meeting that
he felt that the institutions of higher
education should do the same, and in
rrder to impress upon the manage
ment of the different schools that no
deficiency bill will receive his ap
proval, although passed by the legis
lature, he has arranged meetings to
be held the latter part of this week
with the managing boards of the
schools drawing near the financial
limit, in which they will be informed
that they must function within their
appropriations.
Governor Hart believes that his
stand is a distinctive step for the re

a very common practice in times past
