More Readers-Fewer Papers.

More people now read the news
papers and magazines than ever read
them before, and yet the number of
publications in the United States is
growing less.
Last year 1,412 dailies and periodi-
calls were born. but 1,547 persisted. so
that the decrease was 1875. We still
have, according to n. w. Aver, of this

New York, June 24.-Conferences with

to call at the headquarters Republicans

COL. RoosEvELTs WITHDRAWAL
Is Worrying Progressives for Fear II
Will Start Something.

New York, June 24.--With Col. Roose
welt and Candidate Hughes in the city
yesterday and in other ways the politi-
cal pot at the boiling point, prominent
Progressives held conference over the
Question of the eolonels withdrawal from
their ticket, which is scheduled for next
Monday.
What worries the Progressive leaders
is not so much the withdrawal of their
candidate as the manner of it, and how
it will be received by the radical wing OF
their party There is sure to be a rue
tion according to present belief, and the
conference was to keep it from upsetting
the whole political pot.
! Those who attended the conference
were George w. Perkins, chairman OF the
executive committee of the national com.
| mittee; Gov. Hiram johnson of Califor-
| MIA, o. K Davis, secretary of the nation
al committee; James r. Garfield, George
Rowell and George Porter of Chicago.
Mr.. Garfield rushed away from the con
ference and had talk with Col Roose-
welt. Then he went over and had a talk
with Candidate Hughes, and then he re
turned to the conference to report what
he had learned. He declined to tell the
reporters what had transpired.
The real cause of the fear in the hearts
of the Progressive leaders is that the let
ter Col. Roosevelt has written to be read
at the meeting of the Progressive ma
tionsl committee at Chicago next Mon
day will start something.
While the contents Of the letter are be-
ing guarded carefully, it can be said posi-
lively that the colonel tells the Progress
sives that the time has come for them to
smooth out their differences with the
Republicans and in the interest of the
country to vote for Hughes in order to
make certain the defeat of President
Wilson.

LLOYD GEORGE WAR HEAD.
Mere Technically Prevented Him from
Succeeding Kitchener.

London, June 24.--lt has just devel,
oped that the principal reason for the
delay in appointing David Lloyd George
to the war Office is technical one. There
exists q statutory prohibition against the
presence in the House OF Commons OF
more than four principal secretaries OF
state" and Mr.. Lloyd Georges appoint
ment as Earl Kitchener's successor would
bring the number up to five. The other
members of the House of Commons hold
ing these high Offices are Sir Edward
Grey, Andrew Bonar Law, j. Austen

JAPANESE WILL NOT
SELL TO MEXICANS
Japanese Firms Have More
Orders Than They Can
Fill for the Allies

Toxic, June 24-The Mitsui company
informed representative OF the Asso
ciated Press yesterday that it recently
received inquiries from the Mexican gov,
eminent as to whether it could supply
munitions and arms. The company re,
piled that it was physically impossible
as it had more orders than 1t could fill
for the allies of Japan.
The Mitsui, Takada and Okura, three
large companies exporting arms, formed
a Joint munition corporation before the
war to purchase munitions from the gov
eminent arsenal, which is the only es-
adjustment of the kind in Japan.
"0f course, any claim that the Japa-
nese government will assist Mexicans
with munitions and arms is out OF the
question and absurd said Baron Ishii,
the Associated Press who asked him for
his views on the Mexican situation.
The interview was sought on account
of declarations attributed to Mexcans
that assurances had been received from
Japan that munitions and other assist
anee would be given to Mexico in the
event of war with the United States.
GAS for private japanese companies
selling arms to Mexicans,' the foreign
minister continued, Il consider it ex
tremely improbable.
AS you know, all available rifles and
guns are being furnished to Japan's al
lies to assist in bringing the European
war to a successful issue.
"The Japanese nation sincerely hopes
that armed conflict between the United
States and Mexico may be avoided. Jap
ans interest in America, North, Central
and South, being essentially pacific and
commercial, and event bringing disturb

felt keenly in Japan"
