Considerable uneasiness is felt In
Administration circles as result Of
the visit to the State Department Of
Count Sato, the Japanese Ambassador,
where he conversed with Solicitor
Frank Polk regarding anti.aiien land
owning bills pending in the iegisIa-
tures Of Idaho and Oregon. It is con.
sidered significant that Ambassador
sato took occasion to call at the state
Department at the very time when a
diplomatic rupture with Germany over
submarine warfare seemed imminent.
Senator Borah, Of Idaho, after con.
ference with Solicitor Polk, sent a
telegram to the senate of his state say
ing that the bill pending had caused
the government "deep concern" and
urging that the administration be not
"embarrassed at this critical hour"

SHAKE-UP LANDS
CHURCHILL BACK
IN BRITISH CABINET

London. July t7.-Winston Church
hill is back In the cabinet.
The pugnacious colonel. formerly
first lord OF the admiralty. was made
minister OF munitions in an entirely
unexpected governmental shakeup to-
day. These are tue main changes:
Sir Edward Carson is no longer
first lord of the admiralty. He has
been named a member of the war
council. without portfolio.
Andrew Bonar Law, chancellor of
the exchequer. whose place Sir Ed
ward takes, is out of the war cabi-
net.
Sir Eric Campbell Geddes. director
Sir Edward as first lord of the ad-
miralty
DIR. Christopher Addison, retiring
munitions minister is relegated to a
ministerial position without portfolio
He will head the work of reconstruct
ton
Edward Samuel Montague succeeds
Austin Chamberlain as secretary for
India.
Four main reasons prompted the
shape-up:
First. Public criticism Of the gov
ernment's laxity in dealing with the
submarine menace.
Second. Lack of protection against
air raids. particularly in London.
Third. General dissatisfaction with
the manner in which the war is being
prosecuted
Fourth. The revelations in the. in
vestigation of the Kut disaster
The resignation OF Austin Cham ber-
lain as secretary for India which was
caused by the charges resulting from
that investigation directly led to the
changes officially announced tonight
An interesting figure in the shake
up Is Sir Eric Geddes, the new first
lord of the admiralty A man of only
forty-two. he was at one time station
agent OF the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road in the United States Born in
Scotland. he ran away from home at
the age Of seventeen and went to
America where he learned the rail-
road business from the bottom up"
