ID ERLIN. Germany, Feb 12.-Over
1000 women are now employed at
the Krupp works i'm Essen. Before
the war this gigantic arms and ammu-
milton factory had no female employees

of women became necessary. because

Some of the women do very heavy
work, requiring the strength Of an
ablebodied man. but most of them are
making fuses for the large shells. For
tlis delicate work they are better
qualified than men. They turn out more
and better work than the old skilled
mechanics, but receive only half the
wages paid TO men, and half the DO

suppress the prO-French agitation by

GERMANY FAILS
To MAKE PEACE
WITH JAPANESE
Count Okuma Confirms Re
port of Separate Peace
Effort and Rejectment.
SAYS RUSSIA AND
JAPAN GOOD FRIENDS

"OKIO. Japan, Feb. 12.-Confirma-
ton of reports that Germany has
l. been unsuccessfully trying to con-
cIude separate peace with Japan was
made by Count Okuma, the premier, in
an interview with a representative OF
the Kokumin Shimbun. The premier
believed this indicated that Germany
was showing certain signs of suffering
chiefly as a result o. the weakened
condition Of her finances.
While no details of the peace nego-
tiations were made public, the premier
said it was hardly necessary to an
nounce that Japan would adhere to
the London peace declaration by which
she had agreed not to make separate
peace.
Criticism in some quarters has arisen
because JaDan's adhesion to the Lon
don peace declaration was undertaken
by the government without consulta-
tion with the privy council, but in de-
Tending the governments action, Count
Okuma declared it was natural re-
suit Of the declaration of war by Japan
@The fact" he said, that the anti
Japanese sentiment in Canada the
United states, Australia and other
countries has gradually subsided and
is being replaced with favorable sen-
timeut towards Japan is due to our
acts of loyalty to pledges
Concessions From Russia.
At the same time the premier made
the important announcement that Japan
is about to obtain from Russia certain
concessions i'm forestry, mining and
other industries in the northern half of
Saghalien island, which is owned by
Russia. The southern half Of this is
land was acquired by Japan at the
conclusion Of the Russo-Japanese 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" He
referred also to the forthcoming visit
to Toxic of the grand duke George
MichaelOVitch, cousin of the car, as
another indication OF the growing
friendship between Japan and Russia,
which many people believe viii grow
into an alliance.
Pleads for United Japan.
Count Okuma made q plea for a
united Japan in this period Of war and
earnestly urged the political groups of
the empire to cease their conflicts and
come together i'm an effort to improve
the welfare of their country. lie de-
clared that recent japanese diplomacy
had not been a failure as some of the
ating.
Speaking OF the relations with China,
he pointed out that Baron kato. the
former foreign minister was able to
secure various concessions in Man
churia and Mongolia and to extend the
railway and other concessions TO 80
years without moving a single soldier
or single Warship" and he had done
this while conversing with Chinese

continued. ''our country need not mObil-

A ACOLOREDCANDIDATE

(From Ohio State journal, Colum-
bus.)
Perhaps it is not proper for us
to speak editorially, but SO far as
we are individually concerned we
are free to say that we propose to
vote for Ralph w. Tyler for one
of the so-called big four delegates
to the Republican national conven-
ton. We will do this, first, be-
cause Mr.. Tyler is worthy man
and will honor Ohio;n the deIega-
ton; second. because he is re-
spected representative of a people
who have always been faithful to
the Republican party; third, be-
cause he was removed from an Of
fee which he was filing with great
credit, because he Was a Republi-
eau; fourth, because self consti-
tlted directory has assumed to
name this delegation without con-
suting the prople. Any one of
these reasons are sufficient to
prompt a man to vote for Mr.. Ty.
Ter, and taking them altogether
they are invincible, and we say
this without any reflection upon
the other gentlemen themselves
who have been named on the dele
cation. Now is good opportuu-
ity for the Republican party to
show in a modest way lis applecia-
tion of the colored vote.
