Japan Steel Demand
Deadlock in Negotiations Fol-
lows Heavy Export Re-
quest Of Toxic

WASHINGTON, Oct. s.-A deadlock
has been reached in the negotiations
between Japan and the United States
respecting the expectation Of steel to
Japan and the diversion by Japan for
war uses OF japanese tonnage.
Neither this government nor the Jap
anese Embassy has permitted the exact
figures used in the negotiations to be-
come known, but it was learned that
Japan has requested permission to eX-
port a sufficient quantity Of steel to
maintain her shipping yards at full
capacity, which is 10000 tons a year.
Japan has used the argument that
her chipping lines are to her, being an
island country, what the railroad lines
arc to the United States. and that she
cannot deprive herself Of her tonnage
any more than the United States can
deprive itself Of its railroads. At the
present time approximately one-third
of all Japanese tonnage IS employed
for war uses or allied in some manner
TO the war uses, and Japan holds that
very little more could be diverted with
out seriously embarrassing her own
vital interests.
The japanese Embassy here was in
structed 70 take Up the question of
expectation OF steel 10 Japan imme-
diately after the imposition Of the steel
embargo by the United States.
1t was believed possible to-day that
an agreement might be effected upon
the basic of Japan assigning to the Use
of the United States. or selling TO the
United States, new japanese tonnage
in exchange for steel plates necessary
for the maintenance Of the shipbuild-
ing industry in Japan.

Registration Light
For the First Day
Total Is SO, 3O4, as Compared
With l25,42l in
1916

Compared with other municipal cleo
ton years. the registration yesterday
the first day-was particularly light.
Two causes were ascribed for the
poor showing the fact that there re"
main five days TO secure the right TO
vote IN November and the drafting OF
$4,000 voters for the National Army.
On the East Side the registration was
light. The 10th Assembly District was
slightly behind the figures OF previous
first nights.
But throughout the northern part Of
The Bronx, particularly in the Bronx
Park section, and the Bedford Park
and Kingsbridge sections, registration
was heavy for first night. In the
southern part Of The Bronx the regis
tration in the fremont section and the
High Bridge section was a little light
err than in previous years, but surprised
the leaders because in all Of the cleo
ton districts the voters came out in
greater numbers than had been ex-
pected.
In nearly all Of the election districts
in Harlem on the East Side the cleo
ton district captains reported lower
figures than are usual for the first
night. There was some falling off in
registration in the West Harlem sec
ton, but decided increase over the
last registrations first night.
In the eth Election District Of the
18th. Assembly District there were
thirty enrolments, as against fifty for
the first night Of the previous registra-
ton.
1t was the general opinion that regis
tration in the Washington Heights dis
trict was fair for first night

Democratic party split in two. and the
majority, led by Lenine, accepted th's
name. Bolshcviki in Russian means
"the majority" Until the present war
the Bolshcviki, including Lenine, reaiiy
represented part OF the Russian 90
cisl-Democratic party. and could oe
recognized as Socialists Of the MARIAN
school. differing from other Russian
Social Democrats only on questions OF
tactics.
The war has changed I,enine and his
following remarkably. When Lenine
arrived in Petrograd and made his
first speech one of the prominent Rus
sian Socialists told him that the point
Of view he. Ienine. represents mas
nothing to do with Socialism, ana ~
pure expression OF anarchisuc ldeoI-
ogy. This really describes poiShc
vism" and explains its power IN RUSSIA.
The Bolsheviki are anarchists II NOT
in theory, then in their feeling about
life and in their political practice. ne
ground for anarchy Is fertile IN huS-
STA. and herein lies the success OF inc
Bolsheviki.
"No country has suffered in this war
quite so much az Russia. said NJ.
Sack. "To the usual suHerings I'M
rosed by the war were added the ter
rible crimes Of the old regime. II
monarchy in Russia had died twelve
years ago. during the first revolution
IL would have been a natural death'
and both sides would have gained by
il. The principle of monarchy and the
Gar himself would not have been so
hated as now, and. on the other hand.
the country would not have been
poisoned as il now is. The monarchic
systcm. in its practically unlimited
form, was dead in Russia long ago.
and. dccaying. poisoned all the atmo-
sphere around ii. :,
The situation in Russia is critical
and dangerous. and the determination
of Kerensky in creating the Coalition
Cabinet is the bright spot in the situa-
ton. Pursuing this course, kerensky
will have against him the Bolsheyiki,
but with him will be entire Russia, at
least % per cent of the revolutionary
democracy still unaffected by the ter
rible disease, anarchy. A physical
clash between the Bolsheviki and the
forces supporting the Provisional Gov
eminent is almost inevitable. and un-
der the circumstances it need not Gre
ate fear. There are very few chances
that the Bolshcviki will suddenly UNI
derstand the seriousness of the situa-
ton and sincerely yield TO the Provi-
sional Government. Most probably they
will not do so, and therefore the sooner
the inevitable clash comes the better
for Russia. for Russian democracy and
for the great cause of the worlds de-
mocracy."

Declaring that the Bolsheviki repre-

racy at the present time and predict
ing that q conflict between them and
the Provisional Government may be
looked for at any time, A. J. Sack, d.
rector Of the Russian Information
Bureau, in a statement issued last
night, described the present crisis of
Russia as the grsvest in all its history.
The Russian people as q whole, MIR.
Sack said. appreciate the situation and
want coalition cabinet. The Bolshe-
wiki, however. insist that all power be
turned over TO the councils of Work
mems and Soldiers delegates.
The history of the Bolsheviki in
Russia after the revolution" said Mr..
Sack, "is history Of steady growth.
When Lenine appeared in Russia il
seemed that he. with his extrayagart
views, had hardly any following in the
country. The situation has changed
since then. The Bolsheviki now control
the Petrogrsd and Moscow councils OF
Workingmen's and Soldiers Delegate.

the provincial cities and they have
very considerable number of seats in
the Democratic Conference. II the
Bolsheviki are permitted TO exist in

see their strength growing and grow

revolutionary Russia faces at the pres

in Russia. if the moment for such rule
