JAPANESE PEOPLE
BECOMING INCENSEU

New York, Feb. DR.. Togo
klchi lyenaga, one of the most
widely known JRancse III ,te
, United States, in an address on
the relations between Japan and
this country, at a dinner Of the
World Court League tonight as
serted that the people of Japan
may get beyond the restraint Of
their government should further
antl-.lapanese legislation be en-
acted here.
1t IS repOrted' he said. "that
one Of the states Of the Union is
contemplating enacting the same
kind of law which once strained
the Japanese-American relations.
If this kind Of pin-pricking is oft
Ell repeated, | fear the time may
come when japanese rulers can
not restrain the people and
Japan, you know. is becoming
more and more democratic, and
the power Of the people is daily
increasing,
The Japanese residing in this
country number about 10000 Of
which d good percentage is made
up Of transient travellers and bus
mess men. This forms but an
insignificant part Of the popula-
ton Of 110,000,0O0. TO find the
way of handling this small por-
tion of population ought not to be
hard job to Uncle Sam, who has
assimilated 33,000,000 souls of
foreign descent. >
The speaker said he hoped the
World Court League would set
inmotion ''a force that would 90
to eradicate once and for all the
root Of trouble that lies between
America and Japan"

Washington, Feb. 22.-No move
was made here today in the crisis
in relations between the United
States and the Central Powers.
The indications still were that to-
morrow S cabinet meeting would
be followed by arrangements for
the President to address Congress
with a request for authority to
deal with any emergency that
may arise after adjournment.
There was no announcement OF
important dispatches received at
the State Department during the
day. The government is await
ing official confirmation of news
dispatches telling Of the release
by Germany of the American pris-
oners of the YarroWdale, report
from Ambassador Penfield at
Vienna on Austria s attitude mad
definite information about Amer
leans in Turkey.
There virtually is no hope here
of a favorable reply to the memo
randum recently presented to the
Austrian foreign office asking
whether the pledges concerning
submarine warfare given the
United States in the Ancona and
Persia cases still are in effect. An
answer that will make severance
of diplomatic relations with Aus
tria inevitable is expected at any
time. '.'r t.'~- ! ~

RAILWAYS
MAKE MONEY
January Earnings Of Roads Show
They Are Not in Need Of
Extra Income From
Rates.

WASHINGTON, March 20. - Al
though the railways Of the country
contend that heavy increased oper
ating expenses have greatly reduced
net earnings, the January estimate Of
the net income Of the leading roads
announced today by the interstate
commerce commission showed a gain
of $1,000, 900 over the same month a
year ago.
During January the gross operating
revenues Of the roads amounted to
more than $500, 900 900, an increase Of
$40 900 900. At the same time the
operating expenses increased $685.
600. 900.
This increase in expenses, however,
does not include the additional rate
OF wages granted the trainmen by the
Adamson eight-hour law, as the law
was prevented from becoming efrec-
tive on January 1 by the injunction
proceedings instituted by the rail-
ways.
Western roads show the largest in
crease in net earnings with a gain of
| S9,50O.0O0 for the month. The south
ern roads gained about $4,000, 900 in
net income The eastern roads were
the only carriers which showed a loss
in net earnings during January In
the eastern districts the net income
of the railways fell off 100000.

the speech which the chancellor was

this afternoon For the first time,
German socialists have united in for

These demands are aimed at the very

ton of the overthrow Of autocracy in
Russia.
Herr Scheidemann, socialist leader.
who has heretofore supported the
governments war policy, was under
stood to have warned Won Bethmann-
Hollweg that the democraticising OF
Germany must start at once. Dis
patches from Berlin even limited that
the socialists are demanding imme-
date legislation of monarchy like
England, claiming that Germany Is
the only autocratic governmen now
left alive and in order to maintain
the friendship in future years of the
rest of the worlds democracies, she
must change her system.
The socialists demand for aban-

Germany are expected to receive sup
port from other quarters.
It was on March II that the chan
cellor made first concession to what
leaders must have observed was the
growing tide of sentiment for greater
participation by the German people
in the management of Germany. He
then declared important reforms
would be granted to this end-after
the war. Since that time the chan
cellor has been reported as deciding
that these reforms ought to be made
at once.

NEW YORK, March 29.-Official
statements from all belligerents to-
day indicate that the German retreat
on the western front ia apparently
reaching its final stages. From now
on the fighting will probably be Of
masses Of men on both sides-not Of
the type heretofore exempl1fied in
warfare Of hurriedly advancing forces
clashing in comparatively open order
with rear guards.
Today's battle front dispatches, In
Guiding the Paris official statement
reporting French forces "in contact
everywhere with the enemy lines
indicated the changing character OF
the conflict.
Moreover, as indicative Of the close
approach Of the French to the perma-
nent ''Hindenburg line" the Paris
statement spoke of bonn bardment
from big guns" OF the enemy. di-
rected at Scissors.
Big guns" presumably means that
type OF artillery requiring permanent
emplacements-such as are undoubt-
eddy built on the permanent line.
British front dispatches indicated
Haig's troops haze not approached as
close to this German line as the
French. as the British are still max
ing use of armored cars AMI cavalry
useful ONLY in open fighting.
Berlin reported mass attacks around
Hill 3O4 in he Eerdun sector and
general artillery conflict along the
line of the retreat, with heavy losses
inflicted on the Anglo-French troops
General Murray reported success in
the British movement toward Jeru
salem with the defeat OF a big force
OF Turks south Of GAIA.
The British are endeavoring tc
strike Il second blow at Turkish
morale by the advance on Jerusalem
