JAPANESE PAPER ASKS
FOR PRICE ADJUSTMENT
Jill shimpo Urges Government to
Abandon Its Laisser Faire
Policy and Act.
BY ERNEST W. CLEMENT,
CableErnm to The Evening Star nud
chicago Daily News. Copyright, 1917

TOXIC, Japan, September S.-Tbe
Jill Shimpo is anxious about the rapidly
rising cost Of living. The paper urges
the government to abandon its laisser
faire policy and adopt definite plan
for the readjustment of prices Five
points are suggested: /. Restrict ex-
portation and encourage importation
,. Restrict the sale and chartering of
ships to foreign countries. g. Restrict
consumption. 4. Control Illegal trans
actions. ;. Limit maximum prices
Continuing the paper says that while
some seem to be afraid that the specie
holdings viii be decreased by such
measures the nation needs goods more
than specie and that the decrease of
specie has no direct bearing on the
peoples life.
The Yorozu Choho lectures the people
on the need OF preparation for Il post
hellum economic war Ii says that
though Japan has an immense amount
of specie. yet too much reliance should
not be placed on it. Japan being poor
in natural resources must strengthen
economic cooperation with China for
the sake OF developing that country $
natural resources.
Japan" adds the paper. "has it's mill
tary heroes-Eogi in the army and
Togo in the navy; it has its cherrv
blossoms, of which it may be proud.
But such things are unproductive The
country should lay stress rather on i'm

AMERICAN HOSPITALS
PICKED FOR ATTACK
Kaiser's Orders Declared Limit of
niquity-Eternal Dishonor on
German Arms.

LONDON. September S.-The newspa- =
pers give prominence to the news of
the bombing of British and America n
hospitals by German aviators. The
Daily NAL asserts tina. the Ame rica n
hospitals We're deliberately selected
for attack.
This newspaper adds that its corre-
spondent at the front makes 1t clear
that to attack hospitals "is the general
German order"
The Times correspondent asserts that
it must-be clearly understood the Ger
mans do not seek to avoid hospitals in
night raids. but that they purposely
search them out and travel consider
able distances to bomb them"
r The Daily Express IN an editorial
says:
There is something essentially re-
voting about Gcrmany's latest form OF
organized frightfulness. The kaiser has
left few enormities unperpetrated. His
evil genius has decreed that he should
in a score of ways throw eternal dis
honor on German arms, but the syste-
matte bombing of hospitals at the front
has reached the point which may well
be regarded as the limit OF 1niQuity."

WAS SUBJECT TO ARREST
IN EITHER CONTINGENCY
Discharged Soldier, Unable to Buy
Civilian Attire, Was Forbidden
to Wear Uniform.

Here is the case of a man in hard
luck. According to Gen. Sharpe. quar-
terInaster general. L. s. A. the War
Department had to break the law to
help him out The man was dis
charged soldier. He had no clothes in
the world except the uniform in which
he had been discharged. This took
place in Texas. 1t is against the law
for men not in the army to wear the
uniform. and the Texas sheriffs were on
the lookout for them, as there was
much trouble because of fake sol
d;ers Also. theT We're on the lookout
for men who tried to travel in no
clothes at all. This particular man had
to get home from Texas and he had the
choice of being arrested for wearing
the uniform when he had no right or
the choice of being arrested for wear
ing nothing.
He appealed to The War Department.
After Il long cogitation the war lords
decided to spend money for which they
had no authority and get the man a
suit of civilian clothes.
And now The department is asking
authority to buy a ten-dollar suit of
civilian clothing for men without
money who are discharged from mill
tary prisons, etc.

What Can America Doe

1t is obvious that the American air
program. vast as il may SEEM would
not be equal to the task of maintaining
the air supremacy over any great por-
tfon of this hree-hundred-rni front.
Over limited sector practical air su-
pre{nacy is not only a possibility. in
sonfe cases ii is an absolute necessity.
An iettempt to carry out an offensive
action without first dominating the hos
tiles aviation would be doomed TO fail
artuery preparation.
& An attack, even on ten-mile front
reqnires concentration of airpianes
that Is simply stupendous The num-
bers of machines used in infantry and
artillery control must be largely aug
mented. and to protect them from the
attacks of hostile aircraft the number
of lighting planes in the sector must
be corresp9ndingly increased In ad-
d1tIon, on 'sucn occasions il is neces-
ssry to stop. as far as possible. the
work of the hostile airplanes.
In quiet sector the amour: of iy-
lorna ton an observer can collect is
relatively small. and gunfire. directed
as II is against fortified positions oc-
cup1ed by small numbers of men. can
60 s1ittle damage. In an offensive
operation this is far from the case.
The vast masses of troops and material
that are required for sucn an opora-
tion make an ideal target for artillery,
and IL hostile observers could work un

would be colossal. 1t must be prevent

Men Must Prove Ability.

Losses among good fighting pilots
run high. and young Americans who go
into this war must have no de1usions
about what they are up against. A
man who is not equal to the require
mentS of the service is wasting not
only his own time and considerable
sums of government money, but also
the time of at least fifteen other men
