Especial Cable to Nippu Jill
TOXIC. Japan, April Count Oku-
ma, premier of Japan, stated this
morning that the Rassian-Japanese
alliance is now practically concluded,
as negotiations between the two coun-
tries have reached the point where
statement can be MADE that there will
certainly be an alliance that will be
welcomed by both countries.
Count 0kuma adds that the Rus
sian-Japanese alliance will not in any
way interfere with the alliance be-
tween Japan and Great Britain, and
that when the contents of the ALI
ance are announced Japan will favor
every provision. 1t IS expected that
the terms of the alliance will be an
nounced soon.
When Russia sent representa-
tive to Japan the envoy was welcomed
cordially and the Japanese people
then stated that Japan should have
some alliance with the country of the
Gear. 1t is known that the japanese
ance and at present the people are not
as friendly toward the English as
they might be, according to a promi-
nent local Japanese.
Count Okuma has stated that ia
pan, England aud Russia will join to-
gether in promoting the welfare of
the world at large and work for the
preservation of the integrity of the
three nations" said a Japanese this
morning, who is we'll versed in the
relations with the European coun-
tries" Count Okuma may believe
this, but at the present time the people
of Japan are net in sdyor of the Anglo
Japanese alliance.
The boarding of the Japanese mer-
chantmen by British cruisers has
caused many of the people to declare
against England, and among the radi-
Gals the feeling is that Japan should
discontinue the alliance with Great
Britain at once. would not be at all
surprised if, at the expiration of the
Anglo-Japanese alliance, the people of
Nippon would raise such opposition
that it might be discontinued =
AT the present time the more radi-
cal element in Japan is crying for an
alliance with Germany, which is of
course out of the question just
now as Germany is a foe,t but
the searching of the Japanese ships
has hurt Great Britain more In Japan
than any other thing since the alli-
ance was made. The proposed Rus
sian alliance has been received with
joy by many of the japanese, and it
means that these two countries will
have something to say in the Far
East" he concluded. = Z:

SAFETY FOR ENGINE FIREMEN
New Device Is Designed to Prevent

A common form of railroad accident

Matthew J. Slattery and Charles A.
Diehm, two railroad men of Philadel.

patent on a device which is designed
to save the firemans life in this emer,
gency, says the Scientific American.
The apparatus consists Of metal net,
carried beneath the floor of the tender,
which in case Of parting between the
locomotive and tender will be released
and drawn forward to provide safety
net to catch anyone who may be
standing on the tender at the time Of
the accident.

HAVE CUT DOWN FATALITIES
Good Work of Railroads Has Been Ac.
lively Aided by the Interstate
Commerce Commission.

The railroads have good record in
vide the credit with state legislators
and the interstate commission. More
than million cars were personally in
spected last year. More steel cars are
being used, the rOadbeds are kept up
better than formerly and the electric
block signals are getting a wider use.
In 1915 the number of passengers
killed was reduced 16 per cent over
1914 and the number Of employees
killed decreased SO per cent in the
same year. Out of over a billion pas
sengers carried only 222 were killed
less than in any year since 1898, when
only half billion people travelled, and
an average of one in every 100000.

Paris, April A new phase of the
battle of Verdun has begun and the
belief prevails that the violence of
the latest attacks foreshadows another
attempt by the Germans to rush the
fortress with vast forces. New bat
teries of large Caliber have been moved
up closer to the French front and the
German infantry has been rested and

Fighting on the whole was not lln-
favorable to the French, it is authori-
tatively stated. The object of the Ger
mans was to clear the approaches to
Fort Douaumont and $4,000 men were
thrown forward on the mle-and-a- half
line between Douaumont fort and the
village of Naux.
The attacking force succeeded in
crossing little ravine which hitherto
had stopped them in entering the Call
lette wood. Further east they dis
lodged the French from the last ruined
houses of the village of Vaux, but the
French positions were SO placed as to
make it practically impossible for the
Germans to debouch from the village.

other offensive and defensive features
Of the United States army to other
governments big navy" members of
the House naval committee subjected
Secretary Daniels to a gruelling cross
examination
Representative Butler Of Pennsylva-
MIA made the charges that the navy's
plans and specifications had fallen into
the hands Of the Russian government
and the Krupps under Daniels admin
istration. The secretary denied any
knowledge of the charges.
Knows Nothing of Case.
"Do you remember having turned
over to the Russian government the
designs and specifications OF our a.
inch gun, armOr and other national
effects during your administrations"
Butler asked
II do not" Daniels replied.
IF that was done, you would say
it was wrong?" Butler asked.
Absolutely" Daniels retorted.
Then you know nothing of the fact
that the designs and specifications
were furnished the Russian govern
ment under your administration" But
Ter insisted
II know nothing of it," Daniels re-
piled.
To Ask for Letter.
"Will you ask Admiral Strauss for
a copy of the letter sent to the Krupp
company in Germany so we will know
whether the specifications of our IA
inch guns were given to the German
government? Butler asked.
Daniels said he would ask for the
letter Daniels urged passage of the
armor plate without amendment, op-
posing an amendment offered by But
ler that the private armor manufacture
ers would be given contracts in case
they would bid price satisfactory to
the secretary Of the navy.

pertinent" Daniels said. Il know
these armOr plate dealers would not
produce armOr at any price without a
large profit. | would not give to any
secretary the power to deal with mon
Opolies. 1t must be a public transac-
tion. The rule of the secretary under
your amendment would be final. A
price that might be satisfactory to one
secretary probably would not be to an.
other The whole proposition for pri-
vate contract for armor plate manu-
facture is unsatisfactory to me-"
Daniels said the armor plate deliv-
cry had been prompt and the quality
satisfactory, the only objection being
the price.
