ECONOMIC MATTERS
WORRYING JAPAN

Toxic, (by mail.)-Warning that adj
verse economic conditions ma develop
in Japan as a result of the war was
given by the japanese premier, Count
Terauchi, in an address delivered re-
Gently before the annual meeting of
the clearing house banks. Responsible
ity of ayerting a disaster, he said, rest
ed upon the bankers of Japan.
The premier remarked that the nee
essity of industrial independence had
been vividly brought homesto Japan in
consequence Of the war and it was be-
cause of this that the government had
introduced into the last session Of the
diet projects tending towards the
achievement of this independence.
Mr.. Shoda, finance minister, who fol-
lowed Count Terauchi, said that the
government in compiling the estimates

most attention to the perfection of the
national defense project was mapped
u for the building of two battle
cruisers, three cruisers and rs other
w%arships of all sorts at a total cost to
$3.50, 250, 900. the disbursements Of
which was to be spread over six wears.
This together with the expenditure OF
$141,50 900 which had already. been
fixed, would bring the total naval ex-
penditures to be betrayed during the
next six years to about 1922, goo. 900.

AMSTERDAM, April 23.-Advices received from Berlin say that at a meeting of the main committee of the reichstag, which was discussing army estimates.s War Minister von Stein made statement on the western of- fensive in which he paid a tribute to what he termed the splendid perform ances If the German troops.
 Our officers said Lieutenant Gen. eral von Stein, "once again have proved their well tried faithfulness unto death"
 The war minister said that some de- tachme its had lost two-thirds of their company leaders.
 Says Losses Are Normal
 Our losRs have been quite normal, and in sonh cases remarkably small" i" Leutenants General von Stein con- tnued. They are mainly attributable 10 infar try and machine gun fire and a great number of the wounded already have been sent back to the front, thanks to the devoted activity of our medical off fcers.
 Our successes in the west are to be regarded as a great victory. From southwest 5f Arras to La Fere we broke through the English positions to a depth of % kilometers. About 1Q0,- 900 prisonels and 1,590 guns were our booty.
 "Afterwarl we drove the French from strong positioDs across the Disc Aisne canal and beat the English again In battle at Arinentieres, capturing more than .0.ea9 prisoners and 25o guns"
 After an aHusion to the long range bombardmeit of Paris, tue minister described tle difficulties of rapidly pursuing an army.

[RepubIican A. P. Leased wirel

WASHINGTON, April 33.--A nation al labor administrators to have charge of all labor problems involved in the production of war supplies will be named by President Wilson soon. Du- ties now performed by Various labor bureaus in the government depart ments which have to do with materials production will be taken over and CO., ordinated by the new office
 The plan is part of the general pro- gram for centralizing labor control as contemplated in the reorganization the department of labor is now undergoing. The labor administrator will assume some of the work now done by the de- partment of labor and work in cooper ation with the labor board, headed by former President Taft and Frank P. Walsh, named recently to settle labor controversies.
 Much of the labor unrest Of recent months has been charged to lack of a central agency for administering labor affairs and to the fact that government departments which are having war ma a- terials manufactured have worked out their own wage scales without refer ence to other departments. One of the first things the labor administrator would do probably would be to equalize wages in plants engaged in war work It was not made known today whom the president has ip mind for the place

FEAR IF VILLA |S
 REASON FUR TROOPS
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

W WASHINGTON. April 25.-Appre- hension that Villa and his bandits are working northward is accepted by state department officials to be the reason for the concentration of Mexican gov ernment troops opposite Ojinaga and other points on the Mexican border. It is not believed that the government military commanders have any inten- tion of making raids into American territory.
 1t is admitted that some trouble might follow raid in American terri tory by Mexican cattle stealers, per haps bribed for the purpose by Ger man agents. Should the thieves be followed into Mexico by American soldiers there would be danger of a clash with some of the Mexican eov- ernment forces. The presence on the Mexican side of the border of the Mexican government forces. however, is expected. to make it difficult for raiders to organize with the intent to move into the United States.

 As von Richthofen was pursuing an enemy plane at the time, the accounts point out, he conld not well have been hit by his opponents fire, and the be- lief is expressed that he was the victim of a chance shot from the ground.
