(EsUblished 1017) a third country in the World as regards the density of popula tlon says Mr. Muto, "and since her population is Increasing: at an annual rate of something like 600,000, the country is more and more becoming dependent on for eign countries tor the supply of food stuffs. f As all the possible outlets for her surplus population hare been closed, it will be necessary for Ja pan to develop Industries so that money with which to buy food may be obtained, h "Bnt Japan is lacking in raw materials, the cost of fuel is high and, in -addition, the rising cost of production tends to retard the growth of industries and the development of export trade. Taking 100 as the index figure for prices and wages in 1900, these figures rhow 'are 264 and 415. ' ! A' ' "The remarkable rise in prices as noted above is due," Mr. Muv to 'Bald, "to the heavy burden of taxation, adoption of a protective policy inflation of currency, ris ing wages and Increase of con sumption.' In recent years wa'ges have made a tremendous advance, but the, efficiency of workers has been falling in Inverse proportion, while the consumption of com modities, especially articles" of luxury, has been Increasing at a remarkable rate, i In other words the consuming classes have 'been steadily -increasing, but the pro ducing classes are declining. ''Herein1 lies an economic crisis that is impending. Unless th people are awakened to this im portant fact and ; strive to . amel iorate the existing state of affairs Japan will be planted into a very grave crisis."

Belgrade, and the local courts are trying to solve the riddle. "The information thus far available points to a war ro mance In Siberia between a Bos nian soldier and a Japanese wo man, and further knowledge Is being sought "through diplomatic channels at rToklo. ,: A thief stole a document from a translation bureau here, and Was captured. He admits be did not get what he was 'after. He says he sought a will made by the Japanese woman in question, who is described as wealthy. This man Is the authority for the fol lowing tale. - Ivan Mrkonja, a Bosnian, 30 years old, belonged t6 one of the Austrian divisions which desert ed the- Central (powers and joined with the Russians. When the Bolshevist revolution came Jand the Russians disbanded the old army, ' Mrkonja joined one of the wandering . bands - which fought Bolshevism, and wandered off to ward Siberia: He was swept on eastward with the Czecho-Slovaks whom Trotsky- sought to exterm inate because they would not join the communists. Mrkonja's detachment was so hard pressed that he and all his associates fled Into the Siberian forces and scattered. In the for ests Mrkonja met a" Japanese wo man wandering alone. She' knew little Russian, but managed jto tell him that her husband had been killed while fighting the Bolshevists. She had been con demned to death, but escaped In to the j forest. ' Mrkonja and the woman cur- chased a team and made their way southward into Mongolia. There they found an interpreter, and the woman explained to heiT rescuer that she was a member of the family of Toganhama, and that her husband had left her a valu able silk business. Iri expression of her gratitude to Mrkonja, she asked him to accompany her to Tokflo and take charge of her bus iness. The Bosnian consented and remained in Tokio for over two years. He was successful in developing the business, but became home sick for Bosnia and decided to re jo ta his wife and child. He con fessed to the Japanese widow that he Was married. She insisted that he must return to Japan and bring his Bosnian family with him. , Also, she Is alleged to have made a hand-written will in which he was designated as the sole heir to her estate, said to be worth several million yen. Mrkonja came to Bosnia. I He remained with his family for only a few days, and then suddenly . disappeared. His w;f e in Bosnia does not know . where ' he is, and j testimony introduced in the court bas not made it clear whether .Mrkonja, or somebody else, had placed the much-sought Japanese will In the hands of the transla tion bureau from which the thief tried to steal it. 1 The Belgrade police have en listed the aid of the government, which has directed that diplomat ic inquiries be made in Tokio con cern Vng the Togahama jfamily. Totally Different Method , A member of an athletic club, after swimming the ength of the large tank in the basement of the institution, came out puffing and blowing, apparently exhausted. ! "You don't manage your breathing right," said the swim ming instructor: "It ought not to tire you so. As to the upper, part of your body, including your arms, yon use exactly j the same muscles and in very 4 much the same way in swimming as in saw ing wood." j j "No, sir," gasped the swimmer, j "When it comes to sawing wood, ' i use the muscles of some other man."
