JAPAN SHOWS UNITED FRONT
The Government Is Upheld in De-

People.

Toxic. April 26.-The firm attitude
of the government in pressing it's de-
mands upon China is meeting with
widespread approval in Japan and pub
lie opinion is manifesting itself with
increasing force in this direction AL
though Parliament is not in session, a
large number of members of the ma
tional legislature are lending active
support to the government.
One hundred of the members placed
themselves on record today as favor

for railway and mining concessions
and provisional supervision over finan-
cial, political and military affairs of
Eastern Mongolia Asserting that
Japan is actuated by the desire to
bring about permanent peace in the
Orient, they urged the government to
proceed firmly with its program.
The press calls upon the nation to
present united front at this juncture

China has tried our patience to the
last limit and has employed every de-
vice to involve other powers.

MAY SECURE POTASH AGAIN
Negotiations by United States with
Germany Appear to Be Successful,
Says Berlin Report

Berlin, April 26.-The negotiations
with the United States for the removal
of the German prohibition of the ex-
portation of potash salts, which have
been in progress for some time, have
reached the stage where a successful
issue seems probable.
Germany some time ago felt forced
to interrupt shipments of potash for
fertilizer purposes to the United States
until satisfactory guarantees were ar
ranged that German potash exported
would not be used in the manufacture
of ammunition for sale to the allies.
Potash salts form the essential part
of both black powder and the bursting
charge in shrapnel and also the fulmi-
mating cap in rife cartridges.
The German proposal, which seems
to be capable of acceptance by the
United States, is that potash exported
in exchange for cotton cargoes be con-
signed to the department of agricul-
ture at Washington, under a guarantee
that it will be used solely in the
United States for the purpose of fer
tilizers, and that its distribution be
supervised by inspectors who would
see that none of it falls into the hands
of powder manufacturers.
