far as Baron Hayashi knew tonight these

But the Japanese Minister laid consid-

patch from Paris yesterday announcing
that the French Government did not be-
lieve that war between Russia and Japan
would break out. and said:
'"rhe French Government must be in a
better position than that of any other
Power to know the nature of the Russian
reply. If they are honest in saying they
don't believe there is danger of war they
must be pretty certain Russia will agree
at least TO the spirit of the japanese pro-
posals.
Up to now we have had no indication
Of this, and unless Russia does agree
there scarcely seems any way of avert
ing war. ] only trust NJ. Delcasse will be
successful
Minister Hayashi definitely said that the
Russian evacuation of Manchuria is not
one of the Japanese cardinal demands
Baron Hayashi has declared that in the
event of war he had the best authority
for saying that France would not ioin
forces with Russia, even should China CO.

Doctor Runge will open offices in the
Venol building, corner of yandeventer and

Although Doctor Runge refused to say
why his resignation was forwarded at this
time, it is believed that he decided to quit
rather than engender friction with Health
Department officials.

regarding others higher up. The name of
Doctor Runge was mentioned in this state

Doctor Runse was appointed by Mayor
Henry Ziegenhein. He was reappointed
by Mayor Wells last spring. He has served
the city little more than four years.
