JAPAN NOW FACES
POLITICAL CRISIS
OPPOSITION TO ADMINISTRATION
OF COUNT TERAUCHrS NON
PARTISAN CABINET.

TOkyO.-Japan is confronted with
an internal political crisis. The op.
| position to the administration of Count
! Terauchi has opened a vigorous cam
/ paign on the ground that the Terauchi
| nOnpartiSan cabinet was formed in
violation of the spirit of the constitu-
| ton. The Constitutional party, which
| has majority in the House of Peers
| and is under the leadership of Wis
count KatO, former minister of foreign
affairs, has joined hands with the Ma
tiOnalist group in the lower house for
war against the premier.
The battle will be fought out in the
Diet, which recOnvened. Count Te-
rauchi and Viscount Motono, foreign
minister, will deliver addresses in de-
Tense of the administration. The press
expects the outcome Of the crisis to be
dissolution and new election.
In his address in the House of
Peers Premier Terauchi expressed sat
isfactiOn that Japan's relations with
the treaty powers, other than the par
llIIpdHtS III lut war, are more ana
more cordial" He declared that ia
pan was working in unreserved union
with the allies and said that Ger
many's peace proposal was rejected
because it was not inspired by a sin
cere desire for peace. In view of the
magnitude of the war the premier urg-
ed the nation to stand united, IRE
spective of class or politics, and to
adopt post bellum policies which
would protect the prestige and lasting
interests Of the empire and remove all
causes of danger to peace in the far
east
The premier declared that the gov.
eminent was paying particular atten.
ton TO its relations with China. and
would spare no pains to cultivate
neighborly relations. He said that
the Japanese administration was now
endeavoring to sweep away all clouds
which hitherto had darkened the pain
OF the two nations and establish rela-
tons of mutual trust, confidence and
helpfulness.

NATIONAL GUARD
CRITICS REBUKFD
PRESIDENT WILSON SAYS THEIR
LANGUAGE DID NOT CON-
MEND CAUSE.

Washington. President Wilson,
speaking to a delegation from the
Maryland League for National De-
Tense, which attacked the national
guard and advocated universal mill
tary training, rebuked them for their
"unrestrained language" and said
they would have better chance of his
support if they were more reasonable
in their attitude
The memorial read to the president
by Maj. Randolph Barton spoke OF the
national guard system as disgrace"
and failure" 1t urged universal
compulsory military training and ser
vice, and mentioned the mobilization
Of the national guard along the Next
can border as an example of the fail
ure of the system.
President Wilson told the delega-
ton that their attitude closed the op-
portunity fir discussion of the ques-
ton and was not helpful
The president, discussing compul.
sorry military service, declared that I'M
questionably physical training was
needed and would accomplish a great
deal, but it can be had without COM
pulsory military service"
He added that he was DESTROYS of
doing the wise thing and that the en-
tire subject was receiving his most
earnest consideration He yiqoroualv
defended the efforts being made in
Congress to build up a proper military
service.

AVERSION TO BATHS
CAUSE DISTURBANCE
MEXICAN DOMESTICS RESISTED
TIE AMERICAN QUARAN-
TINE RULES.
VILLA SH0UTER IS SLAIN
v. S. Troops Took Possession OF the
American Side Of Bridge to Cross
Over II Shots Were Fired over
Line, But This Did Not Occur.

FL Paso. Texas aver
sion of Mexican women of the peon
class toward bathing caused anti
American riots in Juarez. The riot
ing became so violent that new in
ternational complications were feared
and it may result in action by the
military authorities here.
Four hundred Mexican women. led
by red-haired girl. started to cross
the international bridge to go TO their
places Of employment. They were
barred by health officers acting under
a new quaratine rule, which provides
that all persons without military
passes must take a disinfeCtant bath
of vinegar and gasoline before enter
ing RI PasO.
The women vigorously refused to
submit 10 the baths They attempted
10 push their way past the health OF
ticers and bridge guards but were
driven back. Suddenly they turned
their fury 10 a street car, crossing the
bridge The forces Of the women were
augmented quickly by other women
and children and later many men.
Four street cars in Juarez and on
the bridge were attacked. The motor
men and conductors were dragged
from the cars and beaten. The cars
were wrecked and burned.
A United States mail wagon which
was crossing the bridge was also
wrecked by the mob. The driver was
beaten.
In the midst of the riOting the Mexi-
can authorities issued orders direct
ing that no Americans should be per
mltted to enter or leave Juarez
For hours thousands of Mexicans |
gathered at the JuareZ end of the in |
ternational bridge shouting maledic- |
tions at Americans and the United |
States troops on this side
During the progress of the rioting |
the impression became general that
Villa had taken the city While the |
crowds were cursing the Gringoes. the
cry OF Viva Villa" was started and
even the Carranza soldiers Joined in
the cheering. Jose Maria Sanchez. a
prominent Mexican, was shot TO death
by Carranza officer for shouting wi
va Villa" A number of Gen. Muir
guia's troops were executed for the
same reason, according to reports.
The shooting brought several hun
bred troops to the American side of
he bridge, ready TO cross into Mexi-
20 in case any bullets fell on this
side. So far as is known this did not
occur.

Other important industries which
| show a numerical decline are laundry
work, dressmaking. confectionery,
| printing and bOOkbinding, linen, lace
and silk, but In all these groups some
women are directly replacing men, and
in many Individual firms in these and
other groups Il decline in the number
of women simply means that some of
| the women have left to 90 to mems
work and have not been replaced.
In Every Trade.
Women are directly replacing men
(only In comparatively small numbers)
even in building. mining and quarry
ing. They are replacing them in con-
siderable number in most of the metal
industries, though not on the main
processes in iron and steel works. In
the cotton trade no less than 25,OOO
females are returned as directly re-
placing males. though In other textile
industries Except hosiery progress
has been less marked.
In the food trades there have been
very interesting cases of substitution.
In grain milling the number of women
and girls employed has risen since
July, 1914 from 1000 to 5000; in
sugar refining. from ZOO to 1000. and
in brewing, from 5000 to $4,000; the
increase in these trades Is almost en-
tirely due TO the direct replacement of
men by women.
Women are also doing mems work to
an appreciable degree in tanning and
leather working, sawmilling and wood
working, glass, china, earthenware and
rubber.
One of the most striking new devel-
Opments Is the introduction of women
clerks into banks and financial houses
In agriculture the process of substi-
tuition made slow progress during the
first is months of the war, but an ac-
celeration is now noticeable. Besides
the regular women workers there is a
large increase In the number of fruit
pickers, harveSters and other casuals.
Railway employment furnishes n
particularly interesting series of ex- /
periments in woman labor. Before the
war the British railway companies on /
ly employed about 1000 women
clerks, cleaners, attendants, etc. Ap-
proximately $4,000 are now employed.
The kind and amount of substitution
carried out varies from one railway
company to another. One has In
