JAPAN'S ELECTION
Other Innovations Seen in
Cabinets Desperate Fight
for Control.
INDEPENDENTS GAINING

TOXIC. March 25.-A general election
to choose a new House Of Representa-
tiyes was held to-day throughout Japan.
The Emperor dissolved the last house on
December 90 after it had refused TO
ratify the Okuma Cabinets military pro-
gramme, which included an Increase OF
the army by two divisions.
The campaign has been the most
vigorous ever fought in Japan, the parti-
~cipation OF women In the canvassing
having been one Of the innovations
Premier Okuma made a speechmaking
tour on a special train. and In general n
greater appeal to the reason of the
electors was made than ever before, In
dicating a growth in democracy.
The Okuina Cabinet was fighting for
its life. since y continuance OF the old
Conservative majority. which opposed
the Government. might mean the over
throw OF the Ministry.
The results OF tine election are nor
vet known. but late forecasts indicated
a probability that the Independent rep
reservation would he increased from
twelve TO forty members, giving this
group the balance Of power.

LOOKING TO AMERICANS

A. q luncheon OF the American Manu-
~facturers Export Association yesterday
in the Hotel Biltmore. Alderman Carl
Of Copenhagen. Denmark, and
cyril h Bradford OF Capetown. south
Africa, were the speakers. They were
introduced by Alba u. Johnson OF the
Baldwin Locomotive Works, president OF
the association.
II am here 10 arrange for a closer
connection. II possible, between trade in
Denmark and trade in the United
states said Mr.. smith, both for import
and export, not so much just for the
present, as for the period which will fol-
low when the war is over.
We know. all of US. that the trade
markets Will undergo a great change
when the war Is over. \ large amount
OF goods which have been exported from
Germany or through Germany TO all
parts OF the world. but especially to
France. Great Britain. Finland and
Russia. will not again be imported by
these countries for many years. Whether
Germany loses OF wins the war 1t will he
the same the Germans Will lose their
trade and the advantage they enjoyed
before the war began.
1T is generally recognized that this
war is an economical contest which was
bound TO come sooner OF later and that.
with the enormous sacrifice of human
life and wealth must come a tremendous
change in the economical arrangements
OF at least some of the nations After
the war liz over. no matter how IL end
tho Russian trade will be lost TO Ger
many for many wears.
1T is my opinion. and hat OF many
others in Copenhagen, that Il great many
things which have been sold to Finland
and Russia heretofore through Germany
Will be sold through Scandinavia. Al
ready many American firms which had
their E%uropeau head offices in Berlin or
Hamburg have moved TO Copenhagen. as
they can easily DO business With Ger
many fIom Copenhagen, whereas they
md it impossible to do business with
Finland and Russia from Germany.

mt to she fact that a German
|aeroplanc had attacked with bombs the

Government in the matter.
The master OF the Elfland asserted
that his vessel was flying two Belgian
relief commission flags. each fifty feet
long, when attacked by the German
aerOplane. Although not expecting an
attack because Of the character Of the
sh'p, the Elfland ran at full speed as
soon rs the aeroplane was sighted off
the Dutch coast. Nevertheless five bombs
were dropped from the aircraft. one of
which fell so near the ship hat frag-
ments OF the bursting shell fell on the
deck.

is So negligible that the British military

The theory here is that the Turks.
