Reasons For Withdraw, Of Amsassa
dor lShii EXPLAINED,

Correspondence Associated Press.l
Toxic, May Lit Is understood that
the forthcoming return. OF Viscount
Ishii. the Japanese ambassador ut
Washington, is connected with a mis- i
understanding concerning the appoint
ment Of fina aciul adviser to China.
The Japanese government appointed
Baron Sakatani financial adviser to the
Peking government. Before taking
this step, however, the Washington
government was sounded" on tho
question. Niscount Isnii, ii appears.
reported to Toxic. that Washington
had no objection to the appointment.
Later DR.. Reinsch, the American min
lister to China. entered protest to tho
naming of Baron Sakatani.
This led to inquiries ut Washington
and It transpired that mlsunder-
standing had occurred and that the
American government had not ap-
proved the appointment.
viscount Ishii, who had the contra
'ry impression, was much embarrassed
and requested leave OF absence. The
entire question may be explained as
due to- language difficulty.
Viscount Ishii Is regarded here as a
very. able diplomat and efforts will be
made to induce him to remain in the
service as Japan's representative at
Washington.

GALLOWAY COMPANY ON FEET
Committee Of Waterloo Bankers Re
ports on Plan For Reorus

Waterloo. May 24-Plans for refi-
nancing and reorganizlng the William
Galloway Company have been an
nounced by the bankers committee
Il. w. Miller. Dr, +. W. Powers and g.
u. Pickett. representing the Waterloo
banks.
The William Galloway Company 4.
one of the pioneer manufacturers OF
high grade machinery In Waterloo and
people OF this vicinity have always
taken n great deal OF pride In the de-
velopment of the industry. II
II has been known for some time
that the tsaiIoway company, like many
other concerns not engaged In strictly
war work, was forced to meet the ris-
ing cost OF labor and materiais In face
Of a diminishing output and that their
working capital had suffered in con-
sequence.
1t has been matter OF general
knowledge among the financial inter-
ests of the city that while the parent
company itself has conducted salts
factory business and has been able TO
maintain adequate earnings from oper-
ations each year. these earnings to a
to Improbable enterprises, unrelated
In the business OF the Galloway COM
pany, thus impairing its working cap
ital and credit at the very time
when possibilities for extending its
business made both vitality necessary.
Bankers OF the city have been en-
gagged for some months In an effort
to relieve the present situation and to
devise some safe and feasible plan for
refunding its maturing obligations and
providing an adequate working reserve.
The announcement of the plan for re-
financing Is Of interest to the public
not only because OF what 1t means to
the industrial future of Waterloo. but
because OF the huslnesslike manner In
which the plan has been executed.
The committee announces that II has
been able to arrange with the immedi-
ate creditors OF the company for n con-
version OF their claims into long time
funded obligations, thus relieving tho
company of Its one greatest source OF
embarrassment. It's current liabilities
represented largely by short time un-
secured notes are now taken up by a
long time bond issue secured by second
mortage on all fixed property of the
concern.
In addition to this the committee an
nounced an offering TO the public OF
an issue OF 100000 mortgage bonds.

perty of the company including its
