The postponement of the Interna-
tional exposition, Premier Kabura
says, is not purely due to financial
reasons, but owing to the fact that
it will be impossible to make a cred
table exposition in three years time
on an appropriation of $4,000 900.
AS the appropriation necessary to
complete the exposition at an earlier
date would be inconsistent with the
economical plans of the government
for the next five years, it is consid-
cred wiser to admit the fact than to
fail in making a complete success OF
the exposition, which will now be
held in 1917.
In this manner Japan admits her
financial stringency. but insists on
the utmost economy and depends up
on foreign countries accepting the
situation as an act of wise economy
on the part of the nation.

for yours truly, he would give but one
assist TO a man starting a double play
and would credit any batter with d sac

came up eighteen times during game.
The scorers are cutting q lot OF ice in
these baseball days. Players are bought
