Then | announced that Max Schar-

join us presently. This was greeted
with hurrahs. At that time there
wasn't an American student who did
not recollect Max's great run from the
ten-yard line. (But where the deuce
was Max?) l took a little flag from
my pocket and stuck it into the vase
of poppies, and the boys clapped their
hands. You never realize how beauti-
full your flag is till you see it in for

much time, as Ellis train departed at
ten. 1t was now a quarter of nine.
We had come to the relishes when
a party of four officers took the table
nearest US. They hung up their sabers
on the wall-pegs, and sat down, order
ing q bottle of light wine. Usually
there were five chairs to the table, but
even if only two were being used no
one had the right to withdraw one of
the vacant chairs without the most
elaborate apologies. This is the law of
courtesy in Barscheit. In America it
is different; if you see anything you
want, take it.
Presently one of the officers-I knew
none of them save by sight-rose and

 JAPAN PAYING
 HUGE SUBSIDIES Diet Finds It Necessary to Re- strict the Practice Owing
 to Its Financial
 Troubles. SOME LINES D0UBLy PAID Island Empires Disbursements to En- courage Navigation Are Sec.
 ond to Those of
 France.
SOME LINES DOUBLy PAID

Tokio. Sept 7.--The amount of the subsidies granted under the steam navigation and ship building encour- agement laws Is steadily increasing and the question of the amendment of the laws in order to check a further increase was taken up in the diet dur ing the last session. The terms of contract for the grant of the special subsidies Co the European and Ameri- can services of the Nippon Yusen Kaisha expire at the end of the pres ent fiscal year, and the department of communication has been considering the question whether 1t is' necessary to continue the grant. and if necessary. what amount should be granted.
 The department Is also considering the adoption Of the steam navigation and ship building encouragement laws. The estimate of the special subsidy for steam service for the present year amounted 10 6,ss6,30O yen, that of the steam navigation encourage ment bounty to 3,4SS,955 yen, and of the shipbuilding encouragement boun- ty to 1.995.440 yen. making a total of 12.363,695 yen. an increase of S,OS6,- 622 yen on the estimate for last year. The amount of the shipbuilding and steam navigation encouragement sub- sides continues to increase year after year Steamship companies which re- ceive special subsidies for their ser vices are also granted encouragement bountles. and in this way derive double subsidies. This now appears to be recognized as objectionable by the administrative reform committee.
 A certain official in the finance de-
 partment Is quoted as saying that Japan pays next to France the high est amount of subsidy to steamship companies of any nation. There would be no harm, he thinks, in pay ing such a large amount of subsidy to marine business If the finances of the empire would allow of such an expen. allure, but under present financial conditions 1t Is necessary to restrict the amount granted to the reasonable level not SO low as to retard the de- velopment of the steamship services The retrenchment of. these subsidies he regards as one of the first thing to be undertaken in the. sphere of ad. mnistrative and financial reform,
