 Activity Restored.
 Activity in various lines of in dustry has been restored already in dicating that the effects of the war were beginning to pass. The minister estimated the total receipt for the year at 553.504.264 yen or about $276,752,132 This would be a de- crease of 154.S97,291 yen or ST. 43S,645 compared with 1915. The ex penditures would show a decrease of 1S3561,346 yen or 91,7S0,673.
 As the result of the increase of cx- ports, chiefly war supplies but with the movement of silk to the United States an important item, the Japan csc species reserve increased up to the end of November to 5.O00,00O ven. Compared with the amount of last year, 26.O00,0 900 yen. there has been an increase of about 179,O0O,O0O ven The minister said "Such an eX- ample had never been shown before of the specie reserve having been in creased without restoring to loans The government is planning to ln- crease the specie reserve all the more and to decrease our debts abroad. Owing to this increase Of specie re- serve there has Been tendency to- wards imitation of the market and a fall of interest, resulting in the rise of bonds and other negotia ble in struments. All these things are a result of the war, mainlN While short term capital is plentiful and of low interest long term capital is lacking This shows how careful the financial circles are.'

WHY YOU ARE NERVOUS

The nervous system is the alarm system
of the human body.
In perfect health we hardly realize that
we have a network of nerves, but when
health is ebbing, when strength is declin>
ing, the same ncrvou system gives the
alarm in headaches, tiredness, dreamful
sleep, irritability and unless corrected,
leads straight to a breakdown.
To correct nervousness, SCOTS Emul-
sion is exactly what you should take; its
rich nutriment gets into the blood and
rich blood feeds the tiny nerve-cclls while
the whole system responds to its refresh
ing tonic force. 1t is free from alcohol.

upon having al, the documents re-

" retary Lansing said today he
had no other advices from Berlin re-
garding the submarine issue and the
situation remained unchanged. The
German embassy also was said to be
without information.
Announcement in press dispatches
from Berlin that Ambassador Gerard
would confer with Emperor william
at the army headquarters, was re-
garded by officers as being signifi-
cant. The opinion was freely ex-
pressed that 1t was not at all unlikely
that the emperor might have in mind
experimenting Germany's reply to the
American note lemanling the imme-
date abandonment OF present meth
ods of submarine warfare with a per-
sonal communication to Presidon
Wilson.
Ambassador Gerard in visiting the
emperor Is not acting under instruc-

quarters the injection OF the emper-
or's personality into the subject was
regarded as being a hopeful indica-
tion.

President Wilson expects to receive

days.
The president, officials declare, will
not be influenced in the slightest by
the thousands of kilograms sent in the
past few days to senators ard repre-
sentatives urging them not to approve
any action which might lead to war.
His course in the German situation
will be guided entirely by the char
acter Of the German reply. Should
any serious effort he made to embar-
rass him, ii was declared authorita-
lively, he will again go before con-
gress and demand that the members
go on record for or against his policy.

he had received from the British gov

COUNTY COURT ENDS
LONG CONTROVERSY
hoids That hoard Of Education Has
Say Regarding Who Shall
Serve
Special to The World.

Special to The World
OKLAHOMA CITY. April 27.-The
city board of education has the eXclu-
slNe right to pass upon the question
OF whether there is vacancy on the
noard, is the holding of Judge w. G.
crow. presiding over the Oklahoma
county district court and who sat to-
day in the case of Clark c. Hudson
OF this city. who sought a restraining
order to prevent the president of the
toard and other members from inter
fering with his sitting as a member
of the board.
Controversy has long existed be-
tween what are known as the Clark
and Edwards factions of the boa rd
Recently Hudson took employment
that necessitated his going to another
city This was construed by the
Edwards faction as removal from
the city, and added TO the fact that
hudson sent his resignation to the
board. Steps were taken to declare
the vacancy. Hudson, fowever, with
drew his resignation and denied that
he had moved away Then he sought
the order restraining the other mem
bers of the board interfering with
him. The action of the court today
dissolves the temporary restraining
order and SAYS the board has juris-
diction to decide if there is a vacancy.
Hudson is not denied redress to the
other courts and this he will take.
