JAPAN CONSIDERING
May Decide Her Interests Demand
 Sending Expedition to Balkans.

Tokio, Oct. 14.-Bulgaria's partici- patton in the war and advices from London that British opinion in some quarters at least favors the dispatch of Japanese troops to the Balkans, Have reopened the question in Tokio of Japans future course. There is a strong impression here that the re- turn from Paris today of Baron Iahai, the recently appointed minister of foreign affairs and previously ambas- sador to France, is likely to be follow ed by reconsideration of the internat- ional situation with special reference to Japan's policy for the preservation of the permanent interests.
 Another factor is the arrival of Hu- gues Le RouX, editor of the Paris Ma tin, who comes, it is reported, with in trOductions from and the appreciation of M. Del Casse, the French foreign minister, to discuss military questions with leading Japanese with view to determine whether the latest develop ments justify a change in Japan's de- cision not to send an army to aid her allies and the liklihood of dispatching troops<>oo the Balkan theater.

WOMAN SUFFRAG E TO ARKANSAS
Political Expert Says That Woman
 Suffrage is Coming.

Little ] 7ck, Oct. 15.-(Special)- Whether t.e conservative politician wills it ol aot, women suffrage is com ing to A Gansas. The signs of the times are toe unmistakable to admit of argument.
 The vote of confidence given the women in the last Legislature is proof of the rapid advance made in the suffrage propaganda. Half doz- en years ago suffrage resolutions were considered as huge joke
 But they are joke no longer, anc it is freely predicted that another five years will see woman suffrage an ac- complished fact in Arkansas Per haps it will not take five years-the next Legislature may be induced to, submit the amendment, and If that is done, it may be adopted at the general election to be held in November 1918.
 The women are already preparing to take an active part in practical pol itics. The leaders among them will place their demands before the candi- dates for governor and for the Legis- lature, and wee betide the unlucky man who says them nay. Little as some men may think their opposition will be found power when 1t comes to influencing votes. When they see hcw the wind blows, they will be tum- bling over each ether to get into the suffrage band-wagon

WAR SENDS
 DRUGS SOARING
Quinine and Glycerin Among tine Common Ones That Have Gone
 Up Since the War Began.

Little Rock, Oct. 14-Enormous in creases in the prices of various medl cines and drugs within the last 30 days, due to a combination of c:rcum- stances resulting from the European was, has practically eliminated scene of the drugs from the market, anG made others so expensive that the av- craze customer cannot afford to buy them. The medicines most in demand, which have been affected, are quinine, and glycerin. In the last ten days quinine has increased from 38-cents to sl.50 f.n ounce wholesale The increase in the price of glycerin has been from El to 5S cents pound wholesale. These figures were furnished by 6 member of one of Little Rocks larg- est drug firms.
 The increase in the price of uuinine is said to be due to a German cInbar- go on euinire and England's declar- ing contraband chincCna bark destin- ed to Germany, where much quinine is manufactured
 Glycerin is so much in demand for use in ma,:ilg explosives that the "'o' ld's supply has run short and it is not only wanted in the United States, but for export. Carbolic acid, also in demand for making explosives, jump nriaD pound wholesale.
 From $6 to $40 an Ounce.
 Even more startling than the in creases on quinine, glycerin and car bolic acid are those in the prices of drugs or medicines not as we'll known Atropine, used extensively by oculists, which less than 30 days ago sold at wholesale for $6 an ounce. now costs $40 an ounce wholesale Bromide c,s potash, used largely in nerve medi- clnes, has jumped from 38 cents a pound to s3.25 pounc wholesale Antipyrine, which a month ago solG at s2.75 pound wholesale, was quctec yesterday at S24 pound It is used Tn fever cases.
 Last week a Little Rock wholesale drug firm sold four pounds of anti pyrine, bought at $275 pound, 70 6 New York house for SIS pound. Neo- | salvarsan, which until recently sold for $4.50 an ampoule, is now practi- | cally off the market and New York drug houses are offering $50 an am- poule for the medicine fer export use. Thymol which is practically the only remedy used for hookworm has so in- | creased in price that none is now pur- chased and asperin tablets can hard ly be obtained by retail druggists at any price.
 Eastern drug firms are sending tele- grams almost daily tc both wholesale and retail druggists all over the Unit ed States, asking for all surplus stock of various medicines and drugs and of fering premiums for them
 The retail prices of the drugs af- fected have been raised in proportion with the whole sale prices. It is said that few Cf the drug stores are heav- ilv stocked on the medicines which have been affected.
