Crang has directed that hereafter the straight across the center of the street idea will be in vogue on First avenue and First street from Washington street to Van Buren street The lines for this parking plan have already been painted on First avenue and vii be marked out on First street within the next day or two.
 From First street to Second avenue on Adams street the center Of the street parking plan has been in operation sev- eral weeks and has been generally ap- proved. The plan adopted on Adams street is that of parking in the center of the street and parallel with the curb. Machine moving east park with the front directed east and those going west with the front directed west. In leaving the parking point, the machines move in the same direction as that in which they were proceeding.
 Under the regulations to be in force with relation to the new parking plan, machines will drive into their parking place at right angles with the direction of the curb In leaving the parking place the cars will not be permitted to back out but must drive straight out and take the regular course of traffic.
 Drivers and occupants of automobiles having business in store along the ave nues, will be permitted to drive their machines up to and parallel with the curbs. They may leave their machines along the ~curbs for a period of not more than twenty minutes. It is not re- quired that the driver remain with the machine. Stores loading and unloading goods will be permitted to occupy their curbs for twenty minutes, but machines and wagon during that time must stand parallel with the curb.
 Manager Craig is of the opinion that these regulations vii be found com patible with the best interests of auto mQbilists and business houses and will at'the same time result in d lessening of traffic obstruction.

COOPERATION N CHINA

Pittsbuig. Pa. March i7.---Japan

Aimaro Sato, Japanese ambassador
to Washington. said here tonight in
his first speech since taking his post
in this country.
He told the Pittsburg Press club
hanqueters only mutual understand
ing was necessary to settle the diff
culties between the two great nations
facing each other scross the Pacific.
He appealed to American newspaper
men to study Japan and. eniighten
their readers about her.
"Of late we have heard a great
deal of the whitening competition of
Japan against Americas Oriental
trade" said the ambassador. An in
credible amount OF grim -visaged sta
tistical figures havo been marshaled
and paraded to give this contention a
seeming skeleton, but II seems that.
after all, 1t is a nightmare which has
nothing more fendish or ghostly
about it than a forgotten nightgown

light of day.
Let us glance over the list OF the
principal Japanse exports to China.
Cotton yarn Is perhaps the larg-
est single item. In 1915 Japan sold
to China s25.904,000 worth of 1t.
Cotton yarn does not figure among

cause Japanese competition has

thread gu. OF the Chinese markets
long before this? The official reports
OF the United States on her Chinese
trade are an answer to the question.
There never was a year when cotton
yarn figured as one of the chief ar
ticies of American export to China.
"On the other hand. the United
States sold to China in 1915 kerosene
oil to the value of s5.11S.000. so that

dignity it on her trade table.

certain lines of cotton fabrics Japan
and America stand as competi-
/ tors In the markets of the Far East.
1t must be remembered, however.
that Manchester and some of the
German looms are quite as portentous
competitors of America as the
Japanese manufacturers.
"All this and many other facts
like them are not difficult to obtain.
1t does not call for prolonged or
profound investigation to know them.
A casual glance, In fact, at the trade
reports Of the United States and
Japan is quite enough for the purpose.
Yet so many Of the American people
do not seem to take the trouble of
giving precisely that casual glance.
But in this common and evident
fact lies hidden the most fruitful
