Mr.. Sampson Waters glared at
pretty Miss Jones, the new emplOye
of the great Fitton store.
Miss Jones had been at work a
week, and Mr.. Waters had taken a
decided liking to her. After CALAMITY
promising her to see that the road
was made easy for her, he had ven
tured on familiarity when they
found themselves alone in the door
way for a moment. Now the Jingle
of pretty Miss Jones' hand across his
cheek smarted still.
Waters was the superintendent of
the haberdashery department, and
the dreaded tyrant~ Of all the girls.
They knew that their positions were
at the mans mercy. Nobody had so
much influence with FittOn as he. A
word was as good as a command, it
was said.
Fitton had never run his store very
successfully. He had inherited it,
which was the principal reason. He
leaned more and more on his en-
plOyes. He was an old man, and
when his daughter, now at Vassar,
came to the ownership-wel, Mr..
Waters smiled. He expected the gen
eraI managership of the sales de-
partment. And Fitton had as good
as promised it to him.
There were stories about him,
concerning Nelly Gregg, who had dis
appeared from the store a year be-
fore. One of the girls had seen her
on Broadway late at night, and Nelly
had shrunken from her and hurried
away. That Waters was a married
man was known, and the girls often
specUlated what sort of woman had
been willing to take him
Of course, the man was at his ease
among the rowdy element, but many

thought of attracting him. And Mr..

Baker Says Jersey Militia Needs
Equipment Only for Its Most
Recent Recruits.

Camp Fielder, Sea Girt, N. j., June
23.-Ths promised supplies for Jersey
guardsmen encamped here had not ar

equip the recruits with blankets, rifles

state funds seemed in fair way OF

"lll get these men ready to go to

from every housewife in Jersey and
get kitchen utensils for mess kits,
was his declaration.
General Sadler says he was informed
early this morning that tho War De
partment would be unable to furnish
the desired equipment at this time,
though government officials expressed
themselves as being happy to report
that they were forwarding 1000 pairs
os shoes, 1000 pairs of socks and 1000
suits of underwear by freight.

necessities from the I'd and Sd Regi-
ments. which have not yet been mo-

The inability of Washington TO fur

eral Sadler was informed, 10 the fact
that so many were in use at Platts-
burg and other civilian military camps

The intimations were given official
color by the fact that they came from
the lips of Franklin ID. Roosevelt, As
sistant Secretary Of the Navy, at the
twenty-ffth annual dinner of the New
York naval reserve at the Astor.
1T is distinctly within the bounds
of possibilities that the naval militia
may be called out, just as the national
guard has been summoned into service.
Neither nor any other member of the
department doubted what your answer
would be TO this statement" he said,

Toxic, June 23.-"Of course any
claim that the japanese government
will assist Mexicans with munitions
and arms is out Of the question and
absurd" said Baron lshii, foreign
minister, when asked to-day for his
views on the Mexican situation. The
interview was sought because or
declarations attributed to Mexicans
that assurances had been received
from Japan that munitions and other
assistance would be given 10 Mexico In
the event OF war with the United
States.
"As for private japanese companies
selling arms to Mexicans," the foreign
minister continued, "I consider IL ex-
tremely improbable All available rifles
and guns are being furnished TO
Japans allies to assist in bringing the
European war to a successful issue.
And | fancy, though | do not know,
that munitions not available for our
allies may have found their way TO
China during the revolutionary
troubles.
LET me say this with all the EN-
phasis and earnestness at my com
mand," said the minister. "The Japan
ese nation sincerely hopes that armed
conflict between the united states anu
Mexico may be avoided.
Japan's Interest Pacific.
Japan's interest in America. North,
Central and South, being essentially
pacific and commercial, any event
bringing disturbances into the Ameri-
can market would be felt keenly IN
Japan This is especially true at a
moment when the whole European
trade is virtually closed to Japan and
the Chinese market is seriously upset"
Baron Ishii expressed surprise and
mystifcation when reference was made
to General Ramon Iturbe, representa-
tive Of General Carranza, who was re-
ported several weeks ago TO be on his
way to Japan on secret mission. The
baron declared he never had heard OF
General Iturbe or his projected visit.
He explained that he regarded the
Carranza government as the de facto
government of Mexico. and that the
usual relations with General Carranza
were being maintained.
Japan's interests in Mexico. he said,

The national guard began 20 bid to
day for regular army officers who have

II. Waldron received a request from
West Virginia 70 serve as Lieutenant

Captain d. II. Wells got the offer of n

Romero, recently appointed Minister
TO Japan by General Carranza, has
reached this country, but has not had
an audience with the Emperor. Any
idea that the japanese government was
interfering in the Mexican situauon
the baron declared, was as absurd as
the idea that munitions were being
supplied.
Denies Any Order from Mexico.
NJ. C. Teller, the Mexican charge, in
an interview, asserted emphatieally
that the Mexican government mad
ordered no arms or munitions IN
Japan. and that no negotiations Tor
such supplies were under way.
In regard to General lturbe, Senior
Teller heard recently that he had gone

The Mitsu Company said to-day
that IL recently received inquiries
from the Mexican government as to
whether it could supply munitions

il was physically impossible, as it had
more orders than it could hll for the
allies OF Japan.
Washington, June %. Secretary
