OSKA, Japan, Mar. 2S.-According
to the Mainichi, Japan is exporting to
Great Britain large quantities of bro
mide, which is used in the production
of poison gas. Germany has inexhaus-
tible rock,salt beds from, which bro
mide Is obtained Japan has no rock
salt but has great areas of salt farms
in the southern districts of the empire.
The brine which is left after the table
salt is extracted has had limited
use in the past as fertilizer and as
an ingredient in bean custard.
The war which stopped the impor-
tation of dyestuffs and drugs from
Germans caused manufacturers here
to start chemical factories and one
of these discovered that bromide could
be had from brine. A sample was

DECLARE FOR
WOMAN SUFFRAGE
Candidate Hughes Sends Telegram
Giving His View Upon the
Subiect

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-Charles E..
Hughes today declared for a woman
suffrage amendment to the constitu-
ton, In telegram sent. George
Sutherland, of Utah.
my view Is that the proposed
amendment should be submitted and
ratified" the republican candidate
said in his telegram to the Utah SEN
ator..
The telegram which evoked Hughes
declaration for a federal amendment
for equal suffrage was as follows:
You will no doubt recall our con-
versation few days ago when 1
urged you to make public your views
with regard to the equal suffrage
federal amendment. / feel quite sure
there is nothing IN the republican
platform which in any manner would
conflict with such a declaration. That
platform commits the party to the
principle of womRn's suffrage and
recognizes the right of each state to
determine the question for itself. It
is silent upon the subject of the con-
stitutional amendment and therefore
leaves everybody Of the party free to
determine for himself this question.
The submission of the amendments is
desired by many millions of voters
and ] think the day has come when
congress should recognize the wide
spread desire by adopting the resoIu-
ton CT submission and thus en-
abling the states to pass upon the
question which, without the prelim-
mary action Of congress they would
be prevented from doing There Is a
feeling of intense interest in all these
suffrage states in respect to your at
titude and / think it most important
that you as soon as possible state
publicly your personal position in
to the matter.

my Dear Senator:

READY TO REPLY
TO HUGHES SPEECH
President Wilson Anticipated What
the Republican Candidate
Would Say.

WASHINGTON, August 1.-Presi-
dent Wilson had Charles Evans
Hughes speech OF acceptance for
breakfast this morning He had
plenty OF time thoroughly to digest 1t
the speech-before the cabinet
meeting. When that body convened,
they all went to it.
The speech followed lines anticf-
pated by the president and his advis-
ers. 1t was declared.
SO certain were administration
leaders that Hughes would say what
he did-so they said today-that the
president has been preparing his own
speech OF acceptance for several
weeks and 1T is now practically COM
pleted with only few changes neces-
sary.
It is understood his reply will be
largely constructive, dividing itself In
to two major parts:
Development OF a declaration that
the republican party is a "reminis-
cence' with a platform of policies,
some of which 1t failed to handle
when in power and many OF which
the democrats have put into laws dur
ing recent months.
Enunciation Of a constructive bust.
ness policy Tor the future. showing
what has been done and what will be
done through industrial preparedness
to meet the economic upheavals after
the war.
The presidents address viii not be
as long as that delivered by Hughes.
It will include defense of the admin
istration's diplomatic course in Next
CO and toward European nations. 1t
will point at length to prosperity and
peace.
There is now no intention on the
part Of the president to reply to
Hughes address previous to his
speech of acceptance at Long Branch.

Editorial Comment.
Following is symposium OF edi-
| torial comment on the acceptance
speech Of Judge Hughes in New York
| City last night:
/ New York Tribune: One clear note
runs through the whole OF Mr.
Hughes speech. 1t is a challenge of
| incapacity, an indictment of failure.
I 1t Is rightly an indictment OF Mr.. VIII
| sons scattered point of view. But 1t
would be idle to pretend that portion
of the address which deals with the
Lusitania massacre, is satisfactory to
the Tribune.
| New York Times: Little that is new
appears in the speech. It will be re-
membered he wishes to make the
Mexican question the burning issue SO
that citizens accused of hypheniza-
| ton may have an opportunity to show
/ their patriotism.
New York World: Mr.. Hughes
speech OF acceptance Is public con-
| fession Of a candidate who is without
! an issue and without a policy His
policy is to be one of firmness. But
what form Is the firmness to take
! War? Intervention?
