RUIN PROPERTY OF
Food Riots. Extend to Chief Cities
of Island Empire and Troops
Have Been Called" Out.
LOWER PRICES ARE ASKED
-Police in Some Places Show
Sympathy for Mob and Refuse
to Disperse the Arrgry Crowds.
Tokio, Aim. 16. (U., P.) Soldiers have
been CHlled-oTit in practically every large
city of Japan to aid the police in re- j
straining mobs which have resorted to
wxnton destruction of the property of !
rich men. The riots are the outgrowth
of the rice riots which began a week i
sgo. Mobn at first contented themselves
with raiding rice shops and demanding'
"'iower prices.
Japanese farmers have hoarded
120.000,000 bushels of rice, the rioting ;
people declare.
In some places the police have shown
sympathy for the mobs and have re
fused to dlsjcrse them. Disorders which
started In Tokio Tuesday were quelled
by police with the aid of troops.
Social Crisis Is Predicted
Washington. Aug. 19. (U. P.) Food
rioting t'n Janan threatens to develoD
into political revolt unless prompt steps
are. taken by the Tokio government to
provide rice for the population, accord
ing to the unofficial view here today.
ierman agents may be worklrg among
the masses to ntlr tip disorder by taking
advantage of t he . prof i leering situation,
which 1m rapidly becoming acuto there,
it Is believed. Anti-annexationists, who
are strenuously opposing Japanese plans
for Intervention in Siberia, are also be
lieved to be spurring the peor le to bold
steps, which might unseat the present
ministry.
Officials here were reluctant to draw
conclusions from the rioting reported In i
all parts of the island empire. That the :
grm of class revolution may be spread- '.
lng to Japan is regarded as possible. ,
Japan's political system has modified ;
greatly In recent years and the demo- j
i ratic ferment of the western nattbns is i
becoming stronger, especially since the i
war began and the ' democratic nations I
have become more closely associated j
with Japan. j

Rioters are reported to have stoned
..homes of the wealthy, breaking into
restaurants and rice depots and attack
ins geishaelrls as they rode through the
streets.
Predictions are freely made here that
a social crisis is faslt approaching.
State department officials attribute
the outbreak entirely to the desperate
food situation in Japan. Rice has prac
tically doubled in price since the war
began, and wages have continued very
low. Japanese speculators have been
hoarding rice to force a higher price,
and the government is greatly concerned
over their actions. Steps to break up
'"the rice trust have alreaVly been taken.
1 Among them is prohibition of exporta
tion of rice. Measures against rice specu
lation may be taken and it is almost
certain that the government will buy
vast 'quantities to distribute to the
people at cost
Officials scout the theory that pro- I
German and Bolshevik activities are
responsible for the uprising and declare 1

AN. APPRECIATION
. The executive committee desires to
express Its appreciation of the mag
nificent manner in which the citizens
of Portland are giving their time,
their money and the use of their
automobiles to the city's guests on
this occasion. Hundreds of automo
biles are in use to receive visitors at
the depots, escort them to the Liberty
temple, and take them to rooms
throughout the city. Ten thousand
homes have been thrown open to the
visiting veterans and their families.
We of the executive committee, who
have had the work of planning for
the encampment, and who have is
sued the call for assitance, are deeply
grateful to all.
Our people should remember that
Portland is the only city in the en
tire Pacific Northwest ever to re
ceive the honor of entertaining the
national Grand Army of the Republic.
They will never come to the North
west again. Many cities all over the
country have sought this honor in
vain. Let us show ourselves worthy,
as did those who constitute the
Grand Army of the Republic in the
dark days when our national union
was threatened.
