HOW UNCLE SAM WON JAPAN'S
CONSENT TO USE OF SHIPPING

ly week before the news associations
were allowed to inform their readers
of it. On Nov. 5, acting on cabled IN
structions from Toxic, w. H. Avery,
general manager of the Togo kisen
Kaisha in San Francisco, left for
Washington to have conference with
the Japanese ambassador in Washing
ton. "
The San Francisco Bulletin, in tell.
ing of Avery's trip to the national
capital, surmised it was because the
steel embargo was to be lifted.
The Bulletin had the following ia
say of Ayery's Eastern trip:
'Avery's Eastern trip is of absorb.
ing interest in both steel and steam
ship circles here, because it is consid.
cred to be an interesting sequel to the
official mission of Viscount Ishii,
which ended a few days ago.
'1shii, who will arrive at the Fair
mont hotel on next Thursday, and
sail for home from a Pacific port, is
credited with having made arrange
ments with the washington authorities
by which the steel embargo to Japan
is to be lifted on the stipulation by
Japan to send number of vessels
into the Atlantic ocean for the allies.
During the pas three years Avery
has bought and shipped over $4,000
600 of steel for the Asano people. Or.
ders for $1S,000,000 are awaiting ship
ment to that country as soon as the
embargo is lifted. "
THE San Francisco man has all the
details of this business at his fingers
end and the presumption is he and the
Japanese ambassador aim to schedule
for the Atlantic the first six Japanese
steamers to enter that service. Neither
Ishii nor Washington have made pub
lie so far the net results of their
agreement by which the steel embargo
to Japan is to be lifted. <.t
"Avery's trip to the national CAPT
tai, therefore, is considered the real
first indication the two countries have
definite plan of operations and that it
is ready to be sprung.
"Japan's three largest steamer COM
panies are operating many vessels to,
the ports of San Francisco, Tacoma
and Seattle in connection with five or
six overland railroads. The local 8pin-
ion prevails each one will contribute
vessels for the Atlantic trade, espe.
cially for the next twelve months, or
until the American shipyards can
turn out for that trade large number
of the ships they are now building.
THE lshii-Washington deal is ranked
as most important war measure and
an international political trade even
of far-reaching Importance.
This is why Averys participation
in one of the aftermaths is causing so
much local interest The latter also
includes the changes that will be
necessary in the sailing schedule of
the Japanese line at this port in case
some of its vessels are transferred to
the Atlantic"

Steel was the magic used to get
japan to consent to the release OF
more of her shipping for use OF the
Allies in the Atlantic. Japan wanted
steel and Uncle Sam wanted ships: 1t
was only a matter Of time until an
understanding was reached between
japan and the United States, with this
the situation. Both countries held out
for the very best terms they could Sc
cure, and you can rest assured the
shipping agreement between the two
countries specifically states the
amount of steel which is to be supplied
Japan for every ship she gives to the
war uses of the Allies"
So a member Of the Ishii mission In
Honolulu last Thursday succinctly
summed up his comment upon the an.
nouncement of the shipping agreement
between the United States and Japan.
reached this week, whereby Japan has
agreed to cause larger number of
her ships to enter the Atlantic trade.
That Japan was averse, in view of
the high cargo rates prevailing on the
Pacific and the comparatively small
risk on the Pacific, to diverting small
ships to much more dangerous and
probably less remunerative trade was
frankly admitted. But she had to have
steel to continue her immense ship
buildins plans. The United States
was the only country from which she
could get this steel, and she was
forced to accede to the American de-
mand that more of her ships be de-
voted to the Allied cause, so one Of
the Ishii mission admitted.
No announcement has yet been re.
ceived of the lifting of the steel EN-.
barge, and such an announcement
mat never publicly be made. 1t is
more likely that as the additional Japa.
nese ships begin to enter the Atlantic
an increase in the granting of steel
export licenses to Japan will be made
by the American government, one Of
the Ishii mission thinks.
Some Disappointment
There was some disappointment evi.
dent among the members of the Ishii
party when informed here of the ship
ping agreement, and that no word Of
the lifting of the steel embargo had
been announced. One of the members
expressed the hope that perhaps the
japanese consulate had been told of
the amount of steel which Japan was
to get for the additional shipping, al.
though no public announcement had
been made.
Questioning of the Japanese diplo.
matte party brought out the informa.
ton that the shipping agreement was
practically concluded before the mis-.
SIGN left Washington, but that con.
firmation of it by the japanese gov
eminent had not been &: ained before
the party sailed from San Francisco.
Averys Trip an indication
Nevertheless there are indications
that the shipping agreement was
reached by the two governments near

mere words about it, seems trifling

as acts do we spread the gospel Of

We must first know what there is to

Cows are kept and the care and milking of cows form part of the course. A charge is made for board for the farm pupils, but they are paid for all the time that they put in in actual farm labor, and can easily de- fray expenses out of their labor.
 To defray the expenses of the War Service Committee, a sacrifice sale is to be held in July. Appeals are be- ing made to all the suffragists of the state to send some article of value something that they prize and the giving of which would mean real sac rifice-to the sale. The committee in charge is headed by Miss Elizabeth w Farnam of New Haven.
 Last Friday luncheon was given to Miss Farnham to celebrate her re- turn from the west, and pledges were made of gifts for the sale.

CANNING CARAVANS
Planned by State Suffragists Who Have Been Taking Course at Storrs

Mrs. W. J. Bartlett of the Putnam Equal Franchise League returned Fri day from a stay of a week at Storrs, serving course at Connecticut Agri- cultural college.
 Mrs Bartlett said the suffra gists are all intent on learning all possible about food preservation and especially about cannong. Their purpose is to use the information for the good of their leagues. They will hold canning demonstrations and give instruction to other suffragists and to any other women who care to avail themselves of the opportunity.
 The c. W. s. A. under the guidance of the Central War Service Commit tee is planning to have canning cara vans. Each caravan will carry a can ming outfit and will hold demonstra- tions in the towns and villa The the association for war service are being mobilized and will be used to carry the demonstrators and outfit from place to place.
 Another form of war work which is being done under the War Service bonds. Each suffrage league is mak- ing itself an agency for these bonds, and is issuing an appeal to its mem bers to buy bonds and to buy them through their own league boards.
 Both the suffrage camp farms are now in full working. One of the camps is at Greenwich, on the Mia naus river. This camp Is conducted under the supervision of Miss Ruutz- Rees. chairman of the Central War are in direct charge of the work and instruction is given both theoretically and practically The other farm is the Racebrook Farm near Derby.

Coveii, of Pomfret Files Bankruptcy Petition. "Windham county must wake upi" This is the warning that Charles M. Hamburger, representative of the Bos- ton Federal Reserve bank made while in this city Friday afternoon while discussing subscriptions for the Lib- erty loan.
 Each of the three principal finan cial centers of the county-Putnam Danieison and Willimantic-is yet far below the apportfonment set for 1t to
 raise on the basis of 6 per cent. of its banking resources. And next Fri
 day is the limit for securing snbscrip
 tions!
 'Something has got to be done and done at once" said Mir. Hamberger.
 T know that there has been much, preliminary work done, such as put
 ting out advertisements, organizing Liberty Loan committees, publishing information about the bonds and do- ing other organization work, but the time is now at hand for making a mighty drive and 1t will take all the energy of all the workers engaged in the campaign to put Windham county
 
 to the part it has been allotted to fill in this Liberty loan subscription. Get ting promises of subscriptions is fine, but what we want is an actual signed agreement. I am working IS to 20 hours a day in this county in the in terest of the loan and I know that many other men In the different towns are working hard, too: but we must mobilize every energy and canvass, canvass. canvass, if we are not going to be left behind in this campaign and made to look unpatriotic and penuri-' ous compared with other sections of the state and country. We've just got to make good and nothing but everlasting hustling for the next week will allow us to do so."
 Reports to MT. Hamberger at noon Friday showed that Putnam is lead ing in Windham county as to amount subscribed and as to being nearer completing it's apportionment but, too, is far down the line from the $218.- 600 it is scheduled to raise. Sub scriptions in Putnam to noon Friday showed that Putnam is leading in Windham county as to amount sub- scribed and as to being nearer com pleting it's apportionment, but, too, is
