WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. 81.
Japan is willing to grant use OF
her shipyards for building bottoms
to be used either in the Atlantic
or Pacific trade.
Viscount lshii will offer these
yards in comforting with American
government heads probably this
week.
In return, Japan will seek re-
taxation of the steel embargo, but
will not urge too strongly the case
of the Osaka shipbuilders who
have been making fortunes from
the war.
This was the foremost develop
ment today in an international sit
uation where Japan, Russia and
peace played leading roles.
Japan, it was stated, will pass
up the questions of the open door
in China, permanent possession of
the German islands in the Pacific
and Japanese immigration to
America until after the war.
Joins With Allies.
Whether she will offer a share
of her big trans-Pacific tonnage
for transatlantic service depends
upon allied requests.
Japan has cast her lot with
the English-speaking people, and
the real object of the mission Is to
cooperate with Great Britain and
America-now and in the future"
said one of the mission members
today.
What Americas attitude toward
the proposed proffer will be is un-
known, tho 1t is assumed some
shipbuilding agreement may DE
made If Japan's terms are salts

Russia "Looking Up"
Meanwhile, the Russian situa-
tion-pictured by Kerensky at
Moscow as passing thru a period
of danger-gave added signs of
Cooking up. His fighting tone
and the enthusiastic reception of
his inspiring address increases the
faith of the American officials.
AS for peace, it seemed likely
that the week would develop Pres
ident Wilson's reply. Should it de-
velop that the pope has actual
of Teuton willingness
to surrender Alsace-Lorraine.

The local vigilance committee, or

eggs and milk had been stolen,
has disbanded, after catching the
thief. 1t proved to be huge
milk snake, trained in thievery
by Henry Loose, squatter living
in cave near town.
Two months ago farmers found
their smoke houses and spring
houses were being entered mys-

TITUS WANTS US TO SAVE
MILLIONS IN LUNcHEONS
By G. A. Clay

Cut out the lunch and save
$25,OO0,000 worth of food in an
hour!
Fifty million dollars saved in
the 60 minutes between II and l
o'clock daily-$417, 900 a minute
for victory in the war.
This is the unique, practical
plan suggested today for all Amer
leans by Hazen j. Titus, food
genius, the man who put the
Northern Pacific railway on the
world map as the Route of the
Great Big Baked Potato
Titus has just returned from a
conference with Food Commits
sioner Herbert c. Hoover and high
government officials in Washing
ton.
1t was in answer to President
Wilson's direct appeal for food
conservation turnout the nation
that he evolved his lunch elimina-
sion idea on the way back home.
"This lunch elimination
plan," said Titus, Twill win
big IL every American needs
the suggestion. IL will prove
a success IL 10 per cent OF
the population follows out
the idea.
''In the first place, IL will
effect vast saving in food.
That is the most vital prob
lem before the world today.
The last crust of bread may
tip the scales for victory.
But the plan will do more
than that. If every American
takes up the idea, miracle in the
physical and mental efficiency of
the nation will be worked within
. year.

To supply all this with water
has been one of the biggest and
most important tasks of the con-
tractors.
In the sacred seclusion OF the
watershed, where no person save
those engaged on the work is per-
mitted to go, the Sequalitchew
springs have been deepened, clear
ed out and protected from the

concrete bed for the great pumps
is now being laid. Five wells tap
the underground flow from Amer
lean lake to Lake SequailtChew,

The wells are in different
stages of completion, from those
which have Just been tested to
the one that Is now working; but
the system will be ready by Sept.

Diminish Fire Danger.
They are clusters of narrow
black pipes driven by pile-drivers,
straight thru a stratum of hard
clay which prevents any surface
water from seeping down.
They do not look as If they
would carry enough water to
serve a large hotel, let alone a

sanitation. But the small tenn
porary pump which was operating

that of $50 foot head, consider
ing more than would be necessary
to do hydraulic mining, and the
bigger one which is to take its
place shortly will send 1900 gal
Ions a minute at the same head.
Water is in the pipes down a
considerable length of the camp
now, and as fast as another sec
ton is finished water is turned
into it, each section with its many
hydrants diminishing the danger
of fire which has been the nigh L

get $4.75 a day and so on up to

Miners here say that merchants
have raised their prices whenever
the miners get a wage increase.

trying to settle the strike. advised

work
This aroused the |. w. VS. to
bitter attack on Rogers and on
President Wilson.
They insist they want the gov
eminent to take over the mines.
They say If this is done, copper
can be sold for less than 16 cents
pound and the miners can get
SIS day for six hours work.
The mine operators won't deal
with the |. w. VS., who refuse
to sign any agreements for any

They have more funds than for
merly, but say this is because they
have more members, who pay in

Regardless of whether the ]. w.

the result in tying up large por-
tion of the country's copper sup
ply should please the kaiser, as it
soon will handicap the country's

undermine the strength of

Organizers for the international
Union of Mine, Mill and Smelter
Workers, seeking to strengthen
their union since the strike, have
made some progress, but the !. w.
w. strength continues greatest.
Began i'm 1914.
This is due largely to feeling
aroused here in 1914, when the
Butte miners hall was dynamited,
during the fight between factions
in the old Western Federation led
by Charles Meyer, present presi-
dent, and big Bill Haywood,
now dominant figure in the |. w.
w. Meyer, advocate of A. f. of
l.. methods, beat Haywood, direct
action apostle. Haywood's men
in the l. w w. camp here are
now fighting the more conserva-
tive Meyer men.
The miners grew disconnected
when they saw the price of copper
rise from 13 cents pound to over
80 cents and understood the mil
lions of profits this meant to the
mine owners, while they-the
workers-were having a struggle
to live with the scanty increases
in pay compared with the big raise
in the cost of living.
There has been much anti-war
agitation in Butte. Blame for it

In their fight against the mine

This has become a three-cor-
