As Entente Allies Are Buying
Great Quantities of Supply
in Their Country.
(coFrespOndtnce Of Associated Press.l

Correspondence of Associated preEg,l
TOXIC, March 3-Never in its his
tory has Japan met with such a
period of material prosperity as to-
day. This Is entirely due to the war.
The Entente allies have been buying
great quantities of war supplies since
the beginning Of the conflict and
million yen. The incline not alone
stantly. Money Is literally pouring
into the country In such quantities
mat there is actually plethora Of
IT. Money has become so cheap that
bankers have begun to complain.
The first great call upon Japan has
been made and will continue to be
made by Russia. The exports to Rus
sla have realized several hundred
million yen. The include not alon
military equipment and supplies such
as guns. rifles and ammunition, but
huge quantities of cloth. many hun
dred thousands OF pairs of boots,
leather pouches, caps, sashes. food
products and medicinal supplies.
Even rice Is exported 10 Russia to be
made into cruel for wounded soldiers
and OF the medical expectation a no.
table item Is tIncture Of iodine.
Another great channel in which
Japan is finding prosperity Is through
Its shipping. Its big merchant ma
rine is not only transporting supplies
for the Entente powers, but so far as
the Orient Is concerned, has prac-
tically taken over at an immense
profit the sea transportation which
is held In time Of peace by the yes
sells OF Great Britain. Freight
charges to all points including the
United States have scared and Japen-
csc shipping companies have recently
netttioned the department OF COM
munications to sanction further in
crease in tariffs.

Instead, we find him with bulldog
insistence and generous Intentions
brulsing his knucl5les upon the oak
panels of the front door of the Koerner
cottage in tho iron town. His brain
was going like a triphammer, for his
ears still rang with that piercing fe-
male cry which had been his initiation
to Crispen.
The door opened He entered and
the door slammed back; In the dim
light he saw that lone woman shared
the room with long black box.

"Yes, sir"
"of course am very sorry. 1 am
from the main office in Philadelphia"
he mumbled.
Her sobs had ended. He looked into
pair of Redeemed eyeliis, He was sur
prised to find a dangerous lump in his
own throat. He felt she was studying
him, and he was actually conscious
of his own height.
"Mr. Summers sent your" she asked
YES" he explained. "the company
wants to do something for you"
He somehow interpreted the utter
loneliness of the woman in the knowl-
edge that there was not enough SYM
pathy on this one day In the whole
town to go around the families that
had suffered.
"Ye can't give him back" said the
widow.
II know that, but there is" again
he faltered.
Monte knew how TO drop a half
crown gracefully into the outstretched
palm of Strand panhandler; he knew
how to shower children with loose
change in the streets of Naples, but 1t
gave him abject uneasness to untwist
a 800 bill from his fingers.
So he abruptly laid It on the table of
the little parlor. Those who have tried
to give to those unaccustomed to char
ity will understand Monte's nervous
ness.
AS for the woman. she had no figure,
no charms of any sort. She appeared
even slattern, quite ordinary. But she
had youth and pride, and her presence
was draped in the majesty of first
great grief.
Take it for the things you need
now" he said.
THANK ye; yes. sir; I see ye mean
right by me-" she responded in a low
drone. Jim and me never was beg
gars. I was a girl in a knitting mill,
next town. sir, and Jim came and got
me. 1 am an orphan, sir"
Monte hunted for the proper words to
reply with. He only said: $50 am I
an orphan"
"Then I can tell ye what's on my
mind, sir" she went on, grasping

the unusual, the impulsive and aften
improper things; those who court the
perils Of active, quick-silvery existence.
Had Monte Crispen dropped submis-
syely into lockstep with the great army
q comfort slaves, let routine pleasures
crust over his finer sensibilities, and
folded his hands complacently for the

feed for his comings and goings.

classified human element in the social
card index. putting fragrant tobacco,
dipping scented billets-doux, lolling
and lazily thinking of nothing special,
round and round the narrow orbit Of
