aid in checking the German rush In
Galaaa, It was stated here yesterday.
Japan is ready to aid her ally In every
way possible, but believes she can DO
more by sending munitions than by
sending men.
Tokichi Tanaka, chancellor Of the
Japanese Embassy, pointed out that
Japanese troops would have to be sent
through Siberia. The Trans-Siberian
Railroad. single track road. 1t was
stated. is inadequate to carry any
large number of men. and TO get
enough Japanese troops to the fighting
front to make any appreciable diner
ence would take many months.
In addition, 1t was stated. the raii-
road is one of the principal arteries
by which Japan can supply Russia
with arms and food. If the rail COM
munications were taken over to trans
port troops, the munitions would have
to wait. The result would be an i'm
mense mass of fighting men at the
front without sufficient munitions and
supplies to make them effective.

HOROSCOPE.

Copyright, pi7.J

A1OpyTlsnt, Aflf.l
Astrologers read this as a black
Friday. for all the stars are adverse.
Uranus and Mars rule with malefc
power.
The signs seem to indicate conflict
gagged.
The peculiar aspect OF Uranus gives
a forecast Of serious mental disturb
ance on the part of the public. which
may give way to hysteria.
Uranus appears to foreshadow avia-
ton accidents and trouble over aerial
maneuvres.
This is a sinister aspect for secrecy.
posted as they are today treachery
is very easy.
The planet that rules the hidden
things is read as foreshadowing trou-
BILE through the American tendency to
be too frank and open in all transac-
tions.
Although spies will be arrested, the
seers declare that the fountain-head
of information will not be discovered
until the new year.
Warning is given that In September
questions concerning the national
honor will be presented for public
discussion.
A fire of disastrous results is threat
ened for London.
Canada continues under a fortunate
| sway, but there may be internal dis
orders. Strikes and riots are indi-
| Gated.
A noteworthy legal case will attract
| national attention and will be taken
TO Washington, D. c.. 1t II foretold.
Looking forward to the autumn
| quarter. the seers declare that the in
gress takes place at a time that is
likely to bring about many anxieties.
Persons whose birthdate ID is should
not make any changes. They may ex-
pect a troublesome year.
Children born on this day will be
too fond of excitement to settle down
to business, unless they are strictly
| trained.

early yesterday morning. and 1t re-

Der Of operators at the Western Union

lied by the electric currents caused by
the aurora.
As yet the magnetic division of

Mrs. Albert Mcmahon. who is work.
ing in Maine for the suffrage cam
paign. was asked recently how suf-

work In perfectly new towns where
they are not known. Isn't it rather
blind work. asked a reporter. 1T
is Just that" said Mrs. Mcmahon.
You just literally get of the street
car in the middle OF the town and
begin to look around. Perhaps you
inquire at a drug store and then
make a beginning. Before you leave
you have obtained the promise of
some OF the women of the town to
come to a meeting the next week and
