has put itself on a solid and prosper

Harvesting consists In cutting the
plant about six feet below the surface
Of the water. II has actually been
found that this treatment improves the
growth aud stand Of the beds to such
an extent that they may be cut over
about every 80 days. The area cut at
present extends from Point Conception

War Program
 to Push Work
 Until Next June

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 9.--A huge war work program has been planned by the army general staff for the next eight months.
 The war department definitely plans to produce twice as much ma terial from now until next June as 1t has produced since the beginning of tho war" was the statement made here by John C. Jones. director of production in this district. in explain ing that production in Philadelphia and vicinity will not be cut.
 Mir Jones said all of the plants will be kept running at capacity and that the order of the general stan of the army that contracts awarded here and in fifty-nine other cities were to be kept at minimum was really meant to prevent the breaking down of the program of producing an overwhelm- ing amount of war material during the next eight months.

JAPAN SEES
 RULE OF THE
 PEOPLE NEAR

NEW YORK. Oct 10.-What prog ress is democracy making in Japan? Will the world war bring popular gov ernment to the people? Does the in cursion of liberal ideas labeled dan gerous thoughts by the frightened reactionaries of Japan, endanger the solidity of the empire?
 These questions were put to Marquis Shigenobu Okuma. former premier of Japan, in Tokyo. As one of the early leaders of democracy in Japan and champion of constitutional govern ment, the marquis frankly discussed conditions his country must meet If she is to remain strong in the face of new international currents.
 Democracy is inevitable in Japan, and it's coming is not far distant" he declared. But, though all the other thrones of the world should totter and fall" he continued emphatically, you may be sure that the Imperial House of Japan would survive"
 Must Face the Issue.
 The marquis proceeded to develop his contention that the throne of Jap an would remain impregnable against the wave of modern political thoughts which is sweeping the world.
 Japan must face the issue" he

went on. "In view of radical political from advances made in lands where popular will already prevailed to the upheaval in Russia, there Is no deny ing the effect all this will have upon Japan. But we are prepared for it. I am confident that the intelligence of the Japanese people equips them for accepting modern democratic ideas and incorporating them in their gov ernment without danger to national strength.
 When say Japan's throne stands without peril, I have in mind the pe- culiar character of the EmperOr's po- sition in respect to the people. The Mikado is the head of a large family. He is not a kaiser. He is not a despot. Here is a fact which I wish to make plain-and political agitation which may occur in Japan will never be di- rected against the imperial house."
 Where Danger Lies.
 Up to this point Marquis Okuma had made no mention of the present min stry in Japan. ministry which has faced charges of being unconstitution- al. super party and bureaucratic ever since 1t came into office. Nor did he become explicit at this juncture. What he said was this:
 The danger to democracy in Japan lies, not in the rule of the emperor. but in the administration of those who interpret the sovereign's will to the people. If bureaucratic government attempts to suppress the sentiments of the public, there is offered an ob- stacle to democratic progress which may have serious Consequences-in Japan as in any other country.
 "I believe. however that the govern

ment leaders of Japan, like the people, are prepared to receive the new world democracy and direct the national des- tinies accordingly"
 Do you fear that a change from Japan's ancient system of monarchic rule to more liberal form of gov ernment might endanger the strength of the nation?" he was asked.
 "I do not" was the emphatic reply. T realize that Is a belief sometimes entertained by foreigners, but therein they fail to understand the fabric of the Japanese nation. Japans qual- ities of assimilation have aided her progress many times. and they will stand her in good stead in the intro duction of the principles of democ- racy. The establishment of a modern democracy in Japan, with retention of the monarchy on constitutional lines, will come gradually, a process orf evolution. In the overthrowal of the Shogunate, the old fuedal govern ment, in 1868, and restoration of the power of the Mikado.
