JAPAN'S CABINET
TROUBLE UNSOLVED
NOn.PoIitical Interests Urging
Continuance in Power of
Count Okuma.

Toxic, Aug. IA solution Of the
Cabinet crisis is not yet in sight. The
situation has been complicated by the
opposition Of the Elder Statesmen TO
Takaaki Kato, Minister of Foreign
Affairs. whose handling of the Chinese
question they have criticised. On the
other hand, representative japanese
not connected with politics are urging
the continuance in power OF the Cab
met, headed by Count Okuma as Pre-
mier
This party. under the leadership Of
Baron Shibusawa, chairman of the
Toxic Banking Association, and Buei
Nakano, president of the Toxic Cham
Der of Commerce, is seeking to con
vince the Elder Statesmen that Cab
met change is not desirable in war
time, when state affairs of paramount
Importance remain unsettled, including
readjustmcnt of financial problems
arising from extraordinary war ex-
penditures and projected naval expan-
sion. The assertion is made that
great difficulty would be experienced
in forming a new ministry willing and
able to cope with the crisis
The opposition charges that the
Okuma Cabinet came into office
through the misuse of funds and ir-
Irregularities in the election. Since the
charge was made by the Elder States
men that the Kato policies had placed
Japan in a position of isolation, the
Cabinet has been pushing pro-
gramme of rapprochement with China,
kato himself defending his position
in series of public addresses.
Creation of a coalition ministry
similar to that of Great Britain has
been suggested

and necessitated the landing of ar
expeditionary force from the United
States. Marines from the cruiser Des

laume was taken by mob and assassi-
mated
A request for the guard was pre-
scented by the French Minister at Port
au-Prince and cabled TO Washington
by Rear Admiral Caperton, in command
of the American expeditionary force
The French Minister had expressed an
urgent desire that his legation be
guarded by French sailors, as the Des
Carries had arrived at Port-au-P Prince.
The minister thought also that the
French guard would be able to tighten
the burden on Rear Admiral Caperton' S
400 men TO some extent.
Secretary Daniels conferred with
Secretary of State Lansing, who could
see no objection to the landing of a
small detachment from the Des Cartes
for the special purpose of guarding the
French Legation. No complications
would arise from such action, in the
Secretary's opinion, and Rear Admiral
Caperton was instructed TO afford the
minister all facilities for landing the
French guard.
Port-au Prince was reported quiet
to-day. The battleship Connecticut.
with 500 additional marines, is on the
way to the island republic, and will be
followed by the hospital ship Solace
and the navy transport Hancock Other
reinforcements may be sent if there
are any more attacks on the city by
revolutionists, such as that in which
two American bluejackets were killed.
The expeditionary force is expected
to remain in Hayti until lasting peace
is restored.

ton, il may we'll be mentioned that
the United States government. is without
doubt in a position to remedy the
above described condition. 1t would
be entirely sufficient to hold out TO the
adversaries of Austria-Hungary and
Germany the inhibition of the export

Tf the Washington Cabinet could
find itself prepared to act in this
direction it would not only follow the
tradition always upheld in the United
States to safeguard the freedom of
the seas. but il would also offer the
great service of defeating the criminal
endeavor OF the enemies Of Austria
Hungary and Germany to enlist starva-
ton as an ally.
"The imperial and royal government.
in the spirit of the excellent relations
which have never ceased TO exist between
the Austria Hungarian monarchy and

name of sincere friendship, permits
itself to make an appeal to the govern

according to the conviction Of the

the scope of the rights and duties of
a neutral government, but also in the
direction of those principles prompted
by humanity and the love of peace
which the United States of America
has ever written upon her banner"

worth of copies of her so-called poem,
"Where Are You, God?" returned yes

The verse. which Miss Janis does

The author said yesterday that she

"The imperial and royal government
is convinced that the attitude of the
United States government in this mat
ter originates from no other intention
than the maintenance of the strictest
neutrality and the observance TO the
letter Of all the stipulations of the
international agreements involved, but
the question arises as to whether the

the course of the war. certainly quite
Independently of the will of the United

site effect is produced.
"lf this question be answered in the
affirmative and, according to the opin-
ion of the imperial and royal govern
ment, this cannot be doubted then
another question automatically follows.
namely, whether it is not possible, in
deed advisable. to take measures to
provide full effectiveness TO the wish
OF the government Of the United States
TO assume an attitude of strict fair
ness toward both belligerent parties.
The imperial and royal government

qualification.

Says Neutrality Is Impaired.

IF one takes into consideration the
genesis of Articles z of the fifth and
thirteenth convention respectively,
upon which the government of the
United States apparently rests the
present case, and the wording of which,
as will not be denied, offers a formal
basis for the liberation of the trade
in war materials as carried on at pres
ent by the United States, il is not
necessary to point out-in order to
, realize the true spirit and range of this
stipulation, which incidentally seems
to have been modified already by pro-
hib!ting the delivery of warships and
certain supplies for warships of bellig-
gerent countries-that the various
rights AS conceded to neutral coun-
tries in the spirit of the preamble of
the last named convention are limited
by the requirements of neutrality in
correspondence with the accepted prin-
ciples of international law.
According TO all the authorities on
international law who have especially
dealt with the questions which here
arise, the neutral government is not
permitted TO allow unhindered trade
in contraband of war if this trade as
sumes such character and proportions
tnaJ the country neuIraIlVy IS there-
by impaired.
an judging the admissibiity of the
trade in contraband of war, one can
use as a basis any one of the various
criteria established by law, and arrive,
according to each, at the conclusion
that the export of war materials from
the United States as it is carried on
in the present war cannot be made to
accord with the requirements OF neu-
trality. 1t is not a question as to
whether the branch of American indus
try occupied with the production of
war material shall be protected in
order that its export as it has been
carried on in peace times may suffer
no impairment. Furthermore this in
dustry has experienced an unexpected
increase because of the war.

Insists on Right of Embargo.

an order to manufacture the i'm
mense amount of weapons, munitions
and other war material of all kinds
which Great Britain and her allies have
ordered in the United States OF Amer
lea in the course of the last month, it
required not only the full utilization
and adaptation of existing plants, but
the .reation of new factories, as well
as the diversion of large numbers Of
workmen from all branches of trade
in short, a widespread change in the
economic life of the country right
of the American government can from
no quarter be disputed to decree an
embargo on this obviously enormous
export Of war material, which is notori-
ously for the exclusive benefit Of one
of the belhgerent parties.
The United States government could
meet with no reproOf If 1t were 10

it took recourse to the passage of a
law in accordance with its COnstitu-

ciple that a neutral state may not
change the laws in force within its
jurisdiction concerning its attitude to-
ward belligerents during the war, there
is. however, an exception to the prin-
ciple. as is clearly shown in the pre-
amble of the thirteenth Hague con-
vention: Where experience mas shown
