With victory only s26, 600 away, the
one hundred Red Cross campaigners
held nearly a jubilee at their noon
luncheon at the Chamber of Com
merce today. The conversation of the
whole body turned to motor cars, Red
Cross jokes and bone heads" of the
teams.
Bishop James Wise, of the diocese
of Kansas, talked at the session on
IL funds that are to be raised. He
had just returned from three days
visit at FIT. Riley.

praised the personnel and standing of

Announcement was made this noon
by d. w. Mulvane of the opening of
an entirely new field of work. Wo-
mems auxiliaries will be opened by

business districts of the city. Two
teams have been appointed to can

the down town sections of the city

EXPORT
TRADE INCREASING
AS RESULT OF WAR

TOXIC, Jan. 10.-Favored by the
European war, which has opened up
new markets in foreign lands for ia
janese goods, Japan's external trade
has doubled in values over the figure
before the war.
The trade balance for 1916 record
ed an excess of 35O,OOO,OOO yen in the
amount of exports over imports. Such
enormous excess has never been real
lied in the foreign trade of Japan
since the country was opened to in
ternational trade. The war has offer
ed an opportunity for Japanese to de-
Yelop or exploit new markets in Euro
pean Russia, South Africa, Austria
liza, the South Sea Islands, South Am
erica, China, Europe and North Am
erica, where unusually large quanti-
ties of Japanese goods were exported
As a by-product of the war, the op-
ening of the new steamer route via
the Cape of Good Hope has started
direct trade between Japan and South
Africa, and has brought about a sud-
den increase in the volume of Japan
csc exports. Minoru Okla, director Of
the bureau of commerce and industry
of the department of agriculture anC
commerce, points out that the Euro.
pean war has offered a fine chance fol
japanese to go overseas and seek theil
fortunes in foreign lands as a basis
for future economic development Of
the country abroad. He remarks thai
of 70 million population only 600,-00C
Japanese are resident abroad. O1
this number, he says, only a very
small percentage represents what he
calls the average Japanese, the ma.
jority consisting of labor classes OF
women. Such a situation, he thinks
by no means argues well for the flu
ture development of japanese abroad
The latest estimate gives the popula
ton of the country, including its de
Tendencies, at 100000. The popula
ton is increasing by about 100000 {
year. This large population is scat
tered over a comparatively narrow
space of 2,35O,OOO,OOO square miles
the density of population per one
square mile being 357. With the ex
ceptiOn of Britain, Belgium, the Net

WOMAN SURVIVOR
TELLS OF SINKING
OF LINER TACOMA

QUEENSTOWN, Mar. Mrs. A.
W. Willis, Canadian woman, talking
today with the representative of the
Associated Press concerning the dis
aster to the Laconia, said the women
on board behaved well. They were in
the drawing room at the time of the
explosion and Immediately knew what
had happened. They previously had
several boat drills and were able to
use their knowledge in entering the
boats.
"When the submarine came to the
surface" said Mrs. Willis, "after hav-
ing fully made sure Of the Laconia's
destruction, one gentleman in a boat
said to the submarine commander:
Don't you know you are torpedoing
a ship containing women and child
ren?'
''The submarine commander re-
piled:
"'oh, they are all right for a few
hours and a patrol boat will take them
all up"
The greatest attention is being paid
here to the surviving passengers.
Captain Irvine and the ships Of
ficers and passengers proceeded to-
night to Liverpool.

meets Japan in the density of popu-
lation. Such conditions makes Japan,
which still does not evolve from her
status as an agricultural nation, to
seek an outlet abroad for her ever
increasing population. For the fur
therance of that purpose he thinks it
is necessary to increase the shipping
interests, to develop markets for Jap
anese goods in foreign lands and to
encourage the development of domes-
tic manufacturing industry.
He declares that the rising genera
ton of the country must open their
eyes to the situation and the pressing
need of the time, and volunteer them
selves for the commercial campaign
in the foreign market. He concludes:
"Let the commerce of the japanese
empire follow the sun flags which are
now sighted in almost every nook and
corner Of the Orient and the southern
seas and are gradually moving else
where in the world"
One part of the world where Japan
csc commerce has made its most re-
markable strides forward is the west
ern hemisphere. The enormous pros
perity of the United States has Great
ed demand in the country for luxu-
ries from Japan, and the article which
forms the bulwark of the foreign trade
to this country, raw silk and habutae,
has exceeded the 1OO,OOO,OOO yen mark
this year. To the other countries of
the western hemisphere, too, japanese
exports have increased greatly, and
the progress made by the japanese
merchants in the countries of South
Americas Pacific slope and also with
Brazil and Argentine is regarded as
remarkable.
| The Importance which japan gives
to the development of her foreign
trade is seen in a decision just gaz-
cited to appoint five new government
officials to be designated as industrial
and commercial attaches. They will
be stationed at New York, London,
Shanghai, South America and the
South Sea Islands. Their mission will
include travelling to neighboring ports
and cities for the inspection of indus
trial and commercial conditions with
a view to furnishing japanese COM
mercial and industrial circles with
frsthand knowledge from foreign
lands.
The commissioners will be appointed
from among the ablest men in bust
ness circles, and they will have no
connection with diplomatic or politi-
cal affairs. They will, however, be
attached to the foreign Office, which
thus creates a bureau of commercial
and industrial commissioners.

Minister Survives

LONDON, Feb. 28.-Rev. F. Dun
stan Sargent, who was a passenger
on the Laconia on his way from the
British West Indies to take a British
army chaplaincy, was in the boat with
Mrs. Hoy and her daughter, the Amer
lean women who persisted. He says
the submarine flashed a light on the
stern of the Laconia apparently with
the purpose of identifying the steam
er.
"The hfeboat leaked freely, having
hit the Laconia's stern in the launch
ing, breaking several of the side
planks," said Rev. Sargent. Partly
filled with water, the boat drifted
without oars or rudder for nine hours.
Everybody crowded into the bow and
the stern. The waves washed some
of the weakened occupants overheard
One of the boats crew also fell over
board and could not be rescued.
The bodies of those who died in
the boat were cast into the sea, as
with the boat already full Of water
their weight would have made things
more critical for the surviving"
Rev. Mr.. Sargent related the pathe-
tic ordeal of young actress who was
among the occupants of the boat. She
was helped into the boat by a young
London man, who was in business in
New York. The couple were engaged
and were returning to England to be
married. The girl had to bear the
sight of her intended husband dying
and of his body being thrown over
board from the boat.
