Offers Resolution for a
War Referendum in House

Washington, Feb. l0.--A resolution

was introduced today by Rcpresen-
tative Galloway OF Texas, by re-
quest following a conference with
several Of his colleagues.
Senators who heard the Galloway

Commenting on this new financial
situation the Herald of Asia, which re-
fleets the opinion of the Japanese
business world, makes the estimate
that if the war continues another year
it would be safe to place the probable
total influx Of money from abroad at
1000, 600 GOO y yen sI roughly speaking, or
about 81 ,000, 100000. The journal even
expresses the opinion that before
world conditions shall have turned to
the normal, Japan may be able to
wipe out her national debt in its en-
tirety.

JAPAN BECOMING
CREDITOR NATION
Loans Entente Allies Vast
Sums to Be Used in Carry
ing On War in Europe.
BIG BALANCE ON HAND

Correspondence Of The Associated Press)
Toxic, Jan. 2.-One of the most
striking phenomena that the war has
created as regards Japan is its quick
shifting from debtor to a creditor
nation. Since the Russo-Japanese
war the world has got accustomed to
thinking of the Japanese empire as a
borrowing country. Now the tables
are turned and Great Britain, which
loaned so much money to Japan in
the past, has actually come here for
a loan.
The recent Aotation in Japan Of a
British loan for l00,000,000 yen or
$5O,0OO,OO0 was great success. A
few days after the lists were opened
to the public the syndicate which had
the issue in charge advertised that no
more subscriptions would be received
The incident showed that there is
plenty of available capital in Japan.
The success Of the British loan is to
be attributed not only to Japanese
confidence i'll British resources but
also to the preference by the Japanese
public for short term loans. The
English bonds are redeemable in three
years.
Much Aid is Furnished.
1t is pointed out here that the fin
ancial assistance just rendered to
Great Britain is only part of what
has been done for the entente allies
since the outbreak of the war. 1t is
calculated that Japanese investments
in bonds and treasury notes issued by
the entente powers since the begin
ming of hostilities total about 5l5,0O0,-
900 yen or $257 100000, exclusive Of
the recent British loan.
Another significant feature of the
war period as regards finance has
been Japan's heavy payments abroad
OF interest upon its own bonds and
even in partial redemption of the
same. This has been especially made
possible by the nations heavy accum-
ulation of specie, which has been due
to heavy increase in expectations.
Some Cash Balance.
Japan's cash payments abroad in ad-
dition to that for foreign securities
amount to 3ol 100000 yen or $685.
100000 since the Inauguration OF the
war. and altogether Japan has paid
out in cash since the war began the
huge total of 1,006,53l 900 yen or

In operation just month, the Co.

The big force OF workers in the

motto of the bureau.
Jobs Pay Well.
Positions paying as high as SIS a

cooperative enterprise. Openings

HEARS MESSAGES
FROM EVERYWHERE
Omaha Claims to Have Largest
Wireless Receiving Sta
ton in Country.
MUST KEEP NEWS SECRET

Omaha claims the largest wireless
receiving station in the United States,
excepting only the government sta
tions. George ]. S. Collins, general
manager of the Western Wireless
company, stands ready to defend that
claim.
This station is located at 1920
Dewey avenue, where Mr.. Collins and
Frank L. Brittin are in command.
Some OF the most important news of
the world is picked up at this sta
ton, but under government regula-
tons these operators must not d.
vulge certain classes of informatioS
which they receive.
The radius of this station seems
limited only by the location of send
ing stations OF the world. A report
OF the battle OF Monastir was received
eighteen hours before the Omaha
newspapers received it, Mr.. Collins
asserts. This station heard the opera
tor at Eiffel tower sending the report
to Greenwich, distance of 100 miles,
although thousands OF miles from 1920
Dewey avenue.
Messages sent from Naiakhan, in
Asiatic Russia, nearly 5000 miles
away, have been heard; also from
Shinto, Japan, and from New Zealand
and points in South America. A mes
sage from Nauen, Germany, to Chi
cago bank was heard.
This receiving station is arranged so
that it may be tuned up" to any of
1000 varieties Of waves. The sending
apparatus is limited to compare
lively short distance, but this feature
will be extended as circumstances may
warrant. Messages can be sent to St.
Louis and other points.

EXPLOSIVE LAW
STILL IN FORCE

Assistant Attorney General Franklin
Fisher states that the department is
in receipt of almost daily letters of
inquiry about the law passed by the
Legislature at the last session as to
explosives. their possession and their
registration. Many people are of the
opinion that they are not required to
register cartridges, but such is not the
fact-if they have any cartridges, etc.
in their possession the laws says that
they must register the same with the
city or town clerk, or be liable to pun
ishment for the neglect.
1t is matter that but comparatively
few have attended to. and it will be
we'll for the others to get into touch
with the proper officials and declare
the articles of war now in his or her
possession. An investigation of what
you may own in that line of goods
may not be one of the impossibilities
of the near future.
