WAR AND ECONOMICS.
Savannah. "a. News.l

Mere mobilization of an army.
with initial equipment, does not con-
stitute preparation for war. There
are economic problems incident TO
war that are just as vital in pro-
longed strife as the enlistment and
fitting out OF armed forces. Ii is
Interesting and gratifying TO note the
move that is being made to insure
maintenance of the equilibrium of
the American food market in the
event of war with Mexico. The war
department and officers of the army
are seeking TO effect the organiza-
ton of large dealers in supplies in
order to minimize the possibilities
Of destroying the economic balance
through war.
In connection with the proposed
association of dealers. it is explained
that the organiza ton would be
similar 10 a produce exchange. Pro-
vision would be made for the filling
OF large orders without giving oc-
casion for a sudden rise in prices.
Speculation would be guarded
against by requiring heavy bonds OF
the dealers participating.
Whether the plan has been work
&c out in such detail as 10 make
Il imm ediately practics BILE, II is not
possible for an onlooker TO judge
now. But il is in line with work
undertaken some months ago, when
an industrial and commercial survey
was agreed upon as an essentiaI
step in effecting national prepared
ness. The war in Europe has shown
that some legalized and concerted
action in this direction is yitally i'm
portant.

CLOSE QUARRY
TOSAVE MONEY
FOR ROAD WORK

The municipal quarry Is to be closed.
Supervisor Single, in report made
to the board at its meeting last night,
declared that the city would effect a
saving by purchasing rock from pr.
vate contractors and recommended
that the quarry be closed Immediately.
ANY money saved in the cost OF rock
is to be expended on roads,, he de-
clared, in arguing for the adoption OF
his report. ~
Then he urged that there be econo-
mics practised in the road department.
On his, recommendation as chairman
of the road committee the city and
county engineer was instructed to re-
trench in every way possible compat-
ible with efficiency in the road de,
partment, and 1t was resolved that
only $4,000 of the 10000 q month al
lotted to the road department for It's
work be expended after April l. This
will leave balance of $4,000 on
June 80 to be carried over from the.
first to the second period of the year.

GERMANY Offers
JAPAN SEPARATE
PEACE? REFUSED
Count 0kuma, Premier, Admits
0vertures; Will Abide BY
Pact With Allies
nv Associated Pressl

TOXIC. Japan.-Confirmat of re-
ports that Germany has been unsuc-
eessfully trying to conclude separate
peace with Japan was made by Count
Okuma. premier, in an interview with
a representative of the Kokumin Shim-
bun. The premier believed this indi.
Gated that Germany was showing GER
tain signs of suffering, chiefly as re-
suit of the weakened condition of her
finances. . r..
While no details of the peace nego-
tiations were made public, the premier
said 1t was hardly necessary to an
nounce that Japan would adhere to
the London peace declaration, by
which she had agreed not to make a
separate peace. ....
Criticism In some quarters has
arisen because Japan's adhesion to the
London peace declaration was under
taken by the government without con-
sultafion with the privy council, but
In defending the governments action
Count Okuma declared ii was a nat
ural result of the declaration of war
by Japan upon Germany.
Has Helped Sentiment.
.The fact" he said, that the anti
japanese sentiment in Canada, the
United States, Australia and other
countries has gradually subsidized and
is being replaced with a favorable
sentiment towards Japan is due to our
acts of loyalty to pledges"
At the same time the premier made
the important announcement that
Japan Is about to obtain from Russia
certain concessions in forestry, min.
ing and other industries in the north
ern half of Saghalien Island, which is
owned by Russia. The southern half
of this island was acquired by Japan
at the conclusion of the Russo-Japan-
eGe war.
Russia said the premier, lis very
grateful for the material and moral
support extended to her by Japan
since the outbreak of the war"
Diplomacy Not Failure.
Count Okuma made a plea for a
united Japan in this period of war, and
earnestly urged the political groups Of
thelempire to cease their conflicts and
come together In an effort to improve
the welfare OF their country He de-
clared that recent Japanese diplomacy
had not been failure, as some of the
governments enemies were insinnat-
ing. gs ~
Speaking OF the relations with
China, he pointed out that Baron
Kato, the former foreign minister, was
able to secure various concessions in
Manchuria and Mongolia and to ex.
tend the railway and other conces-
sions to So years without moving q
single soldier or maneuvering sin
gle warship," and he had done this
while cohyersing with Chinese Off
cials with smiles on his face"
Even II the present disturbances
should spread throughout China" he
continued, "our country need not
mobilize troops there. II portion of
our fleet should take some action in
the rivers, lakes or along the coast of
China it would be sufficient In case
OF necessity we are prepared to under
take to protect Europeans and Ameri-
cans as well as our own fellow coun-
trymen."

Supervisor Logan raised a laugh
when he declared that 1t was the prac.
tise among Asiatics to carry their
house number plates with them when
moving. Supervisor Horner had just
declared that it should be some ones

the city were properly numbered. He
found out that it was his duty, as
chairman of the police committee.
Concrete sidewalks are being laid
by Oriental contractors at a cost of 8
cents a foot, Supervisor Horner in
formed the board On investigation
he found, as he expected at such a
low price, that the mixture was not
up to the required specifications. The

into the matter and see whether it is
advisable for the city to hire side
