U. S; ALARMED
BY JAP CRISIS
Believed Here Mikado Will
Support Party Inimical
to America.

Grave concern was expressed in official
circles here last night over the political
crisis in Japan. where the house Of rep
resentatives has been dissolved By the
Emperor because 1t was out of sympathy
with the Terauchi ministry.
The State Department made public,
without comment the cabled text of ex-
cerpts from the speech delivered to the
Diet by Foreign Minister Montono, of the
Terauchi cabinet, before the dissolution
of the house. A new election is to be
called in April. The Terauchi cabinet has
been accepted in this country as advocat-
ing an aggressive japanese policy in
China, and as favoring reopening the land
law controversy with this country.
The speech of Foreign Minister Mon
tono. as made public by the State De-
partment, recommended spirit of har-
mony" to compromise" differences be-
tween the two countries. 1t sct forth
that the Japanese government, in regard
to China, is considering an economic
rapprochement' with the United States,
and declared that Japan must exert all
her energy to prevent the collapse and
dismemberment of China.
Field Marshal Count Terauchi was
named premier by the Emperor last Oc-
tober. He-represents the radical mill
tarist faction in Japan. and is looked
upon as the champion of a radical pro-
japanese foreign policy. When It became
apparent that the House of Representa-
tives would not support the ministry. the
Emperor dissolved the House, uphoIding
the premier. The return of a House sup
porting the Terauchi ministry will be
taken as an Endorsement of its policies
although even il the House is unfavor-
able. the Emperor may continue the min
istry.
Minister Moteno said:
THE imperial government is constant
ly concerned about friendly relations
with the American government and the
American people. II is a fact that ques-
tons of such a nature as to injure some
what the friendly relations between the
two countries have occurred, but these
questions have to a certain extent, been
satisfactorily solved"

FRANCE is Organizing
FLEET OF FOOD SHIPS
Public Works Official Prepares to Ward
of Shortage of Provisions.

'By the International News SeryIes)
Paris, Jan. 19-(by mafD-Fleets Of
GOLFERS and food vessels for the pro
visioning of France are being organized
by Senator Herriot. the new minister os
public works. The ships, requisitioned bv
the state, will be conveyed by destroyers
and cruisers for protection against sub
marines.
When l took Office" NJ. Herriot said,
the situation was highly critical For
instance. Paris had in reserve only
enough coal for one weeks gas and
electric lighting and power Normally
we need 100000 tons of coal annually;
Of this We get 100000 tons from our
mines and 2O,OoO.0OO from Belgium, Eng
land and Germany. But during the
war not only are we deprived of the
Belgian and German supply but our owr
output is only 100000 tons and consign-
ments from England have been smaller.
''In order to increase our own output
I have ARRANGED for the return of thou
sands of mir ers from the front With
labor which l shall bring from Morocco
and the employment of 5000 German
prisoners. l shall shortly be able to
increase the number of miners working
our own deposits by 1000. At the same
time imports from South Wales will be
hugely increased and protected by con-
voy."
