Baker and Major General March,

All Japan Demands

mands that that right to vote be eX'

at meeting recently Of the ConstItu'

president of the party, presided. The
franchise demand is Of interest be
cause only small proportion Of ia
pan's male population has ,at present
the right to vote,
The resolutions also declared that
Japan's diplomacy should be reform
ed, particularly with regard TO China
that in view of the war, naval arma,
ments should be replcnished, that nat
ionaI finance and economics be siren
ghtened, that educational institutions
be increased and improved and that
the circulation of money and the prI'
ces of commodities should be regulat-
ed
A manifesto was adopted insisting
that in face of the grave lnternatIonaI
situation produced by the war, the
collapse of Russia and the domestic
commotio min China, Japan has no
fixed policy, and alleging that the
present government enjoys neither
prestige among the powers nor con-
fdence among the Japanese them
selves.
The manifesto continued: "Under
these circumstances, it is no wonder
that Japan's diplomacy is feebly, her
national defence program not prop
erly formulated, her finances unad-
iusted, the peoples rights cramped,
and her social life not put on sound
basis. We are determined TO do our
hest to secure change Of the pres
ent cabinet so that the state admin
istration may be conducted on th'
basis of sound public opinion"

Send EN- Candy.

Luckily we have some thrifty John
Bulls on board who conceived the idea
of a canteen. | have Just returned
from a purchase of ten boxes Of cho-
colates, six boxes Of marshmaIlow
dainties and a few cigars. The candy
taxes YOU a shilling box and is
about our half-pound size. The boys
are making a run on the canteen and
| doubt if the supply will last but a
few days out. Nothing moistens a
soldiers mouth more deliciously than
chocolate candy and even those who
were attempting to plaglarize the
Civil War idea that a plug Of tobacco
was the antidote for dryness and
parchness of mouth have abandoned
the idea, and are eating chocolates.
Now | hold no brief for any of the
candy makers, nor have | been re
minded of the most enjoyable play |
have ever seen, "The Chocolate Sol
der" which came out years back.
But tell your friends to send a box
of chocolate candy, store bought, #
they want to please US. The home
made is best, but it gets stale quicker.
The store bought brands have a more
"enduring freshness" if that is not
bad English.
