PLANS RADICAL CHANGES
Whole Zone of Influence Virtually
Will be Placed Under Military
Authority.

Japan is arranging a radical
change in the administration of Man
churia by which the whole japanese
zone Of influence would virtually be
placed under military authority.
This change will be effected by ex-
tending the authority of the Kwan-
tung government-general, which Will
have added to it almost the japanese
administrative rights Of Manchuria,
besides the exclusive control of mill
tary affairs. At the same time. the
rights hitherto exercised by the For
eign office through consuls in Man
churia will be transferred to the gov
ernment-general. The Manchurian
Railway Company will also cease to
Weld sway over the administrative
affairs in the districts within the
railway concessions, which will also
pass to the jurisdiction of the gov
ernment-general. As the result OF
the extension OF the authority OF the
acknowledgement, which will thus
come to hold absolute control OF mill
tarv and administrative affairs H.
Manehuria, the consuls stationed IN
various important prts of Manchurla
viii be replaced by military admins
trtive officials.
The government also is planning
TO inaugurate Il special admlnIstra-
tive office to take the place of the So
called triumvirate administrative syS-
tenn of Manchuria, an Office "hlcn
will involve the unilication of the aa-
ministration of Manchuria as we'll as
tho railroads of Manchuria and
Korea.
The new general administrative de-
partmcnt will be directly under the
control of the Prime Minister. The
! ratification of the M%anchurian and 10
can railroads is expected to be car
| ,ied ont as soon as the special SEES
| sion Of the Diet passes an ~appropria-
ton for the construction Of new anG
the Improvement of old lines.

trate supply by the National Defense
Act, providing a suitable site be
there obtained at reasonable price.
AS satisfactory prices have now been
agreed upon for the transfer of the

NEED THEM TO BUILD SHIPS
Hurley Would Have Trained Work
men Exempted.

Washington, Oct. 16.-In order to
make certain the carrying out of it's
great ship building program of 1,0O0,-
600 tons by March 1, and some 49,
100000 tons in the next two years,
the shipping board has under consid-
Grafton the question of recommend
ing exemption from military service
for all men employed in ship yards.
Chairman Hurley conferred tonight
with President Wilson and this mat
ter is understood to have been dis
cussed.
The expansion of present yards and
the building of many new ones to
meet the governments requirements
for both merchant and war vessels
has created great demand for work
ers. Sufficient skilled men are not
available and new men must be train
ed. Officials of the board think that
men thus trained should not be taken
into the military establishment.

be conductc dat many places in the
United States beginning about the
middle of October, the exact date to
be announced later. The Institutes
will offer courses for the training of
those who are to help families Of
soldiers and sailors. They are in
tended primarily for the Executive
Secretaries of Home Service Sec
tions. Others with satisfactory pre-
liminary training or experience who
will give their full time to the In
stltute course for six weeks and who
expect to give volunteer service in
this field Of Red Cross work, nav be
admitted.
The Red Cross believes that train
ing is a necessary preparation for eff
fective home service and that no
time should be lost in getting ready
for this work. (See Chapter S Of
ARC 201.) l am bringing the insti-
tute to your attention in the hone
that one or more of your workers
may wish to attend; and in order that
they may be ready to act quickly
when opening dates are announced.
1t is proper when your Chapter re-
CARDS it to be necessary, to contrib
ute toward the expenses of such a
representative.
Great care should be exercised in
the selection of persons to attend the
Institute. The candidate must have
good education and should be of
mature Judgment There are, how
ever, no fixed standards which can
be applied to determine the eligibility
of candidates. You will readily ap-
preciate, however, that the home ser
vice of families demands the utmost
common sense and willingness to
learn by instruction and experience.
1t calls for both dclicacy and intelli-
gence.
In and near the Southern Divis-
ion, in which your Chapter is stu
ated, Institutes have been established
as follows:
Miss Edith Thomson, Wesley
Memorial Bldg, Atlanta, Ga; Miss
Margaret Laing, University of S. c.,
Columbia, S. c.; Mr.. J. P. Kranz,
Peabody College, Nashville, Tenn;
DR.. II. H. Hibbs, School of Social
Economy, Richmond, Va.
Application should be made to the
Director of the Institute which the
student wishes to attend. The Insti-
tute Director will be glad to give any
prospective student information about
the curriculum or other matters.
In addition to the Institute which
is for intensive training of students
and which will require their full
time, Chapter Courses Of a more pop
ular character and requiring less time
of the student may be given by Chap
tcrs as means of helping to meet
the need of trained volunteers for
work with families.
| should be pleased to answer any
questions concerning these training
courses. In closing may l ask you
to bring this to the attention of the
Home Service Section of your Civil
ian Relief Committee, and may l urge
upon you the advisability of having
a representative in one of these In
stitutes.
