Manufacturers and retailers have in
creased the price of clears because
Of the further rise in Dutch eX-

grades the advance is greater
The German tobacco market, of
which Hamburg is the center, had

whom the war began but these were
used up about year AGO and since
then Germany has been Obliged to
dep Ind chiefly upon such tobacco as
came in from Holland In addition
to the increase caused by the rise in

WOULD SAVE PAPER AND
RAGS TO GIVE RELIEF

plea for economy by saving old
paper and rags for the manufacture
of now material Is being sent ut by
the Biscuit and Cracker Manufac-
turers' Company to their customers,
quoting the present shortage of raw
material for making new paper and
paper board. The bulletin sent out
explains itself:
The attention. of the Department
of Commerce is called by the presi-
dent of large pano~ ''racturinrg
company, to the fact that there is a
serious shortage of raw material for
the manufacture of paper, including
rags and old papers lie urges that
the department should make 1t
known that the collecting and saving
of rags and old papers would greatly
better existing conditions for Ameri-
can manufacturers.
Something like $1,000 tons of
different kinds of paper and paper
board are manufactured every day in
the United States and a large pro-
portion of this, after it has served
its purpose. could be used over again
in some class of paper. A large part
of 1t, however, is either burned or
otherwise wasted This, of course,
has 70 be replaced by new materials.
In the early history of the paper in
dustry publicity was given to the i'm
portance of saving rags. 1t is Of
scarcely less Importance now. The
Department of Commerce is glad to
bring this mattere to the attention
of the public in the hope that prac-
tical resuls may flow from 1t. A lit
tie attention to the saving of rags
and old papers will mean genuine re-
lief TO our paper industry and d.
minishIng drain upon our sources of
supply for new materials. The De-
partment of Commerce will be glad
to pu. inquirers in touch with the
manufacturers who are interested.

FOSTER AGAIN LOOMS UP AS
THE POSSIBLE CHOICE FOR
ASSISTANT WAR SECRETARY

Washington, ID. c., March 16-
The intimation of President Wilson
that he would like to name his as
sistaHt secretary of war from among
the practical military men of the
country, has caused Il number of well
known National Guard members to
flock to Washington.
Gen. j. Clifford II. Foster, adju-
tant general of Florida, and chair
man of the executive committee of
the National Guard Association of
the United States, is also in Wash
ington, having come to the capital
in connection with the proposed fed
eral military legislation, now pend
ing in congress-.
Vt will be recalled that there was
a strong sentiment to name Gen.
Foster secretary of war when Mr..
Garrison left the cabinet, and mem
bers of the Florida congressional
delegation were actively behind the
movement
AS chairman of the executive COM
/ mittee of the National Guard Asso-
citation, Gen. Foster has been active
ly identified with the military legis-
lature program, as he led the fight
| in Washington to make the National
Guard the basis of any program de-
cided upon to raise armies in case
of war. He is considered one of the
ablest adiutant generals in the coun-
| try.
! If the president names an adjutant
| general from one of the states for
the position of assistant secretary of
war. as now appears probable, one
of the first names to be considered
will be that of Gen. Foster Gen.
\ Fosters military record is already
before the president and is quite
well known by the chief executive
Gen. Foster has done good work to
/ pltNG thc u4SSOlGllOU VI lHp Sldlt
troops or their absorption into any
| other branch of the government mill
tary forces in the agitation of the
question of preparedness. Therefore,
I his appointment as assistant secre-
tary OF war would be pleasing to
his friends and fortunate for the ad-
ministration.

PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARIES IN
TWO STATES SOON

Washington, d. G., March b
The interest of the politicians will
be centcred this week on Minnesota
and New Hampshire, where primar-
les are to be held today for the sclcc-
tion of delegates to the presidential
nominating conventions OF the two
states, the results in New IIamp-
shire will be scanned most closely
for an indication of the way the po-
litical wind is blowing.
The fact that Senator Cummins of
Iowa is the only prominent candidate
whose name will appear on the Min
nesota ballots for the Republican
presidential nomination assures him
of the support of the dele Gates from
that state at the Chicago conven-
tion. The names of Henry d. Easta-
brook of New York and William G
Webster of Chicago, have also been
filed as candidates for the head of
the Republican national ticket, but
1t is not expected that either of these
self-appointed candidates will figure
materially in the results of the
primaries. The understanding among
the Republican party leaders is that
the delegation from Minnesota will
cast its first vote for the Iowa SEN
ator and after that will be free to
swing its support to Hughes, Root,
Roosevelt or any other candidate
that may be selected President
Wilson has the unanimous support
of the Minnesota Democrats for re-
nomination
The latest reports from New Hamp-
shire are to the effect that the dele
gates from that state are likely to
be sent to the Republican national
convention uninstructed, though the
Roosevelt sentiment in the Granite
State is said to be running strong
Senator Weeks of Massachusetts may
receive a complimentary vote in rec
ignition of the fact that he is a
native of New Hampshire. Hughes
has strong following and prob
ably could receive the united support

JAPAN NEGOTIATING WITH
GREAT BRITAIN
(By Associated PressD

Toxic, March 16. Baron Ishii,
minister for foreign affairs, told the
House of Peers that Japan is ncGo-
tiati1g with Great Britain concern
ing the anti-lapanese Il itation in
British colonies. The foreign co,
however, denies the report persist
emily circulated in Toxic that fresh
negotiations are going on between
Japan and England for the revision
of the Anglo-Japanese alliance. The
idea put forth, as the basis of the
report, is that Japan seeks from
Great Britain some definite recog-
milton of Japan's superior position in
China.
Tho alliance with ENGLAND, as a
resul. of which Japan declared war
against Germany, continues favorite
topic of discussion. A good many
disparaging remarks have been made
about it by Japanese who feel that
Great britain is asking and receiving
too much under its terms and that it
has ceased to be an instrument use
full TO the Japanese nation
Baron Ishii referred to these criti-
csms in his remarks before the
Peers. lie deprecated them, he said,
as being cXcccdin ly rcgcrtablc be-
cause they do harm to the friendly
sentiments between the two nations.
lie regretted also that British resi-
dents in China occasionally gave
voice to unfriendly utteranccs about
Japan. But he pointed out that
these criticisms should not be inter
pre:ed as the opinion of the nation
as a whole.
| At recent dinner of the Japan
Ira 1e Association, Ichiro Tokutomi,
the editor Of the Kokumin, declared
| that there prevails an opinion among
section of statesmen and politicians
that the Anglo-Japanese alliance has
| reframed to meet the changed stu
alton Of Japan-the growth, of ex-
I altation of her position and influence
in Far Eastern affairs. He consid-
cred il most probable, he said, that
the time will come before long when
this opinion will be seriously taken
up and embodied in the form of ne
eOtiations for the revision of the eX-
listing treaty. He insisted that this
view was ehared by several members
of the cabinet and privy council.
The present negotiations it'll Eng
land to which reference was made by
Baron Ishii are believed to include
the status and treatment of Japanese
emigrants particularly in Australia,
but refer particularly to an alleged
boycott of Japanese goods.
The case of those Japanese who
are demanding a revision of the al
lance with Great Britain is summar-
lied by the Nichnichi. II declares
that in Canada, Australia and other
British colonies, Japanese are re-
I fused treatment on an equal footing;
that the British residents in China
/ official and otherwise, are bent on
curbirg Japan's interests in that
country that Japan's position in Chi
ma is of vital importance to Japan
but that its predominance is not rec
ognized, and that. moreover. in case
of misunderstandings with United
Sta'cs over Chinese questions thu
British government is known to b'
bent on avoiding the responsibility,
of rendering assistance to this coun
try.

the Old Guard, called for nomination
shortly before noon. The frenzied
enthusiasts, who packed the Audi
torium, broke into a storm of APP
pIause as cambridge Colby rose to
nominate Roosevelt. Before Hiram
johnson finished seconding him
there was a joyful cry of affirmation
and it was all over. The Perkins,

The first big sensation of the day
was caused when Roosevelt sent a
telegram to both conventions asking
that Henry Cabot Lodge be named

When the telegram was read it
was greeted with boots and Kisses
and laid on the table by vote.

Justice Charles E. Hughes was
nominated as the Republican candi-
date for president on the third bal
lot of the Republican National Con-
vention at the Coliseum shortly after
noon today. The crowd in big hall

Weeks, 8; LaFolIette, 8; DUPONT, 8;
Lodge, Z: Absent l.
After the demonstration uuieted
down somewhat, Alexander Moore of
Pittsburgh and Henry Lodge made a
motion that the nomination of
Hughes be made unanimous. It was
carried.

The Bull Moose party, showing the
rebellion that made it such a vital
power in 1912, rose in its wrath this
morning, swept down George Per-
kins and the other Wall street steel
trust outfit and nominated Theodore
Roosevelt, in spite of the coIoners
choice of Henry Cabot Lodge.
Perkins, Bill Finn and the other
agents of eastern capital. who have
been trying to hold back the rising
spirit of the convention for the past
two days, made one final effort to
stop the delegates. from nominating.
