supply of almost the entire country,
have seen fit TO arbitrarily advance the
price of their product 100 per cent. This
discovery was made by the department

call public attention to the evidence

effectually controlled the price of the

Primarily our object was to call atteR-
ton to the immediate effect this would
have on the death rate of children in

PUSHING THE LIMIT.
Russian Moderation Net by japanese
Aggression.

Paris. Jan 16-Officiai sentiment con
corning the RussO-Japanese situation IS
rather less bUOyant- tt is explained that
while the conditions are not hopeless they
undoubtedly are discOuraging. Although
no information is given as to the grounds
for the present feeling, II probably is que
TO the receipt of fuller Information re-
garding the nature. OF Japan latest oe-
mands
one of the foremost members OF the
diplomatic corps said today that strong
feeling existed in the highest official
quarters that Japan had gradually en-
iarged her demands until those of today
scented Moreover. 1t is the belief Of the
officials here that Japans steady aug
mentati0n of her demands is due largely
10 her belief that Russia Is DESTROYS Of
avoiding war and that Therefore il Is poi
icy to push her demands to the furthest
Dangerous Game.
Thus far only. brief synopsis Of the
various demands have been given to the
public. and it is said the exact text or
the reply is necessary in order to show
the gradual expansion of the japanese
/ contentious But after summing M
general comparison of Jap3ns demands,
the officials are firmly convinced that
there has been a steady increase and they
regard this as one of the most dangerous
features Of the situation. as Russia S de-
sire TO avert war has encouraged Japan
to develop her claims until they are lar
beyond those which Russia was at first
Z ready TO cOUcedc-
In particular it is the official view
that JaDan's demands for rhc integrity
of China and full recognition OF Chinese
authority over Mauchuria represent 8
considerable and important advance over
the early representations It IS pointed
out that at the outset Japan and praetic-
ally all the powers recognized lSussla-s
special interests in Manchuria, but the
view now prevails among the officials
and diplomats here that Japan's demands
seek to minimize and restrict those spe-
cial interests within impossible limits.
Japan's Position.
Touching the reports that japan Is
ready to 80 to war TO sustain the princi-
pie Of the open door in ManchuTia and
the territorial integrity of China, the Dip
iomat previously referred 10 said that
Japan is hardly in position TO make
war on such grounds. as Russia mas al
ready given assurances on both these
points IT, he added. Russia previous
assurances were not made in good faith,
then Japan will BE- brought into the posi-
ton Of making war because Russia does
not keep her promises Moreover. II is
eontended ia the highest official circles
that if Japan IS not willing to accept IN
good faith Russia previous promises
principle Of the open door, why is Japan
asking for more promises from RuSsiay
Finally the diplomat summed up state
and official sentiment here by saying that
Japans claims are considered TO have
reached an extreme which is not likely TO
receive favorable consideration from Rus
