TOXIC, Japan. Oct. 26.-lt is an un'
profitable business for Japan TO eH-
change her shipping with the iron
from the United States.
Such is the growing conviction
which now appears as dominating the
thought Of the Japanese government
as we'll as the shipping aud shipbuild-
ing circles.
When Viscount X Ishii. head of the
Japanese war commission 10 the
United States, prolonged his stay in
Washington. it was learned that he
was deadloCked over the negotiations
with the proper American authorities
on re steel embargo question. Japan
wanted the embargo on the steel TO
be lifted in favor Of Japan to enable
the Japanese ship yards to continue
operation while the United States gov
eminent asked for Japanese steamers
to be used in carrying the American
troops and supplies in the Atlantic.
The United States. it was learned
from an authentic japanese source. is
ready to grant Japan imports Of l50,-
900 tons OF the American steel pro-:
vided Japan supplies the Allies with
her shipping over 100000 tons. 1t is
on this suggestion OF compromise that
Japan's public opinion is now growing
in diSfayor, maintaining that Japan
will lose much more with her shipping
than she can gain from the American
steel

war, it shall be SO thoroughly finished

: Thus writes a British transport
captain in letter to his local news
paper, describing how he had just lost
twenty of his men, although they were
nearly a dozen miles behind the front,
through shell from a German long
range naval gun fifteen miles away.
The shell was a chance shot. Here is
the captains story:
I'VE have descended on a war of
stink-pots, of specialized chemists leer-
ing horribly in obscure laboratories
while they concoct the tortGres OF the
damned, of medieval poisons, of flying
death from the clouds. 1t is less like
war than some elemental devilishness
which man is as powerless to control
as he was the volcanoes which over.

along these hundreds of miles OF battle
line. 1t 1t as we'll you should hear of
it who have a quiet roof over your
heads, who wait placidly under your
umbrellas at the street corners for
your tram car.
81 was at a cross roads, and a vast
amount of traffic was moving by it,
guns and wagons and painting motor
lorries and officers on horseback and
ambulances. Far in front hung notion
less in the air the long row of balloons
that marked the circle of the front.
1T endured perhaps but two seconds
before it precipitated that frightful
tragedy towards which it was moving,
but very second was an age. Every
man who heard it held his breath
Now the whistle changed to sudden
plunging roar: A quarter of ton was
falling headloRg through space and
yet invisible. A rocking crash, and up
from the road leaped volcano of
black earth and smoke and stones. The
whole air filled itself with shrieking
bits of metal, whirling swathes of dust
and choking fumes. Horses were
plunging, men cursing. Above all rang
the screams of mortal agony.
Il gazed with horror towards the
spot and saw a wagon lying with its
wheels up in the ditch, its horses lying |
nearby. In the grass by |
the roadside lay some inert figures OF

Wheatless Day
Proposed Here
By Food Board
Commission Will Recommend
White Bread Be Dispensed
~ With on Wednesdays

1t ONOEULU will soon have
"wheatless" days. -
Beginning Wednesday, Nov
ember IA, and every Wednesday
thereafter, local hotels, clubs, res
taurants, boarding houses, cafes
and the public in general will use
a substitute for white bread; that
u.s. if they follow out a request
which is to be made by the terri
torial food commission. +.
Decision to request "wheatless''
days in Honolulu was reached at
a meeting of the food commission
this morning. A very good corn
meal is now being manufactured
on Maui and steps are to be taken
by the commission to place it in
the local market so that it will be
available as food.
On the Wednesdays designated
the commission suggests that, in
place of white bread, the public
eat corn meal bread, Graham
bread, whole wheat bread or rye
bread. ~ ~.

NEW YORK, y. J., Oct. 26.-Reliei
from the troublous sugar situation is
expected within -. days.
George NJ. Rolph. who is in charge
OF the sugar situation for the Hoover
bureau. said today that the price OF
sugar will be eight and a half or nina
cents a pound.
To consider means of relieving the
worldwide shortage OF sugar the In
ternational Sugar commission, headed
by George NJ. RoIph. conferred at
length yesterday afternoon and last
evening with a committee from the
sugar reftnerS of America Until the
beet sugar production of the West and
Northwest caches its height the sit
uation, must remain serious and il was
determined at the outset that plans foc
econCmiziflg and conserving the couu-
try's supply must be taken at once.
The purchase of a'hundred thousand
tons OF Louisiana sugar by the Ameri-
can Sugar Refining company which
was reported en- Wednesday removed
at once more than third of the PROB
able crop OF that state which is below
the normal ana estimated at not to ex-
coed 275,0C0. tons. Cuba's remaining
supply is variously estimated at from
$4,000 TO $4,000 tons and Louisiana
and Cuba cannot be counted upon 10
so far toward relieving the shortage
without the beet sugar output which
will be above early expectations.
Cuba's next crop will come in toward
the end of the beet sugar production
BY then it is expected that the situa-
ton will have been .measurably reliev,
ed but meantime conservation is to be
the watchword.
