RECONSTRUCTION ALLIANCE,
FORMED IN JAPAN

Toxic, Oct 6.-Japanese newspaper
men recently returned from Paris,
politicians, labor leaders and business
men have just organized reform as
sociation known as the "Reconstruc-
ton Alliance" with the object of car
rying out radical reforms in Japan in
consequence with the age, and especi-
ally with the object of having uni
versal suffrage law passed at the next
session of the Diet.
The program also includes abolition
of all class distinctions abolition Of
bureaucratic diplomacy, establish
ment of democratic political system,
public recognition Of labor organiza-
tions, reform of the tax system, "puri-
fication" of the Imperial household
department, and absolute freedom of
speech and of the press.
Speakers basing their remarks on
impressions gained at Paris, dwelt
upon the backwardness Of Japan as
compared with other leading couu
tries.
The suffrage resolution, adopted un.
animously, was supported by three OF
the younger members of the Diet who
were present. One Of them, Repre-
sentative Uyehara said:
Japan is constitutional country
in name but not in reality. Until the
people realize that the country be-
longs to them there can be no such
thing as a true constitutional coun
try. While other nations are devot
ing themselves to social reforms ia
pan has still to settle the question Of
universal suffrage which other coun
tries disposed of long ago."

 Let-Up

It is remarkable how the use Of Lung Vita spreads. People know of 1t and use it in every state of the union, though it has been advertised in the south alone. This wide demand can be caused by one thing only-merit This letter from MT. Clarence Morgan of Morenci Arlz., shows that Lung-Vita gives relief in all cll- mates:
 You no doubt wonder why I stopped taking Lung-Vita. The reason IS because l am well and l am satisfied that there is nothing in the world to equal Lung Vita I had a cough that stayed with me eight months and a rattling in my chest and it seemed as if l could not get any relief until 1 began using Lung Vita The first bottle cured me put ordered more to be sure. had one DOL tie left which l sent to lady In Lords brrg New Mexico l think Lung-Vita the greatest medicine in the world and wish all who suffer as l did to try it."

SITUATION SERIOUS
Special to The Age. Her4Id


 Archangel, Tuesday, April S.-1n view of the situation which has de- veloped among the American troops
 in Archangel, official circles are in- pressed with the necessity of promptly relieving the American soldiers whO now are in north Russia.
 The soldiers have interpreted the Washington statement that they woul1 be relieved al the earliest possible mo. ment as meaning not later than June l, wEich is the time they believe naVi- gation at Archangel probablX will be open, and while out of a spirit of loy- atty to their officers and to American traditions they express a Willingness to stick it out until that date, they are exceedingly reluctant tQ go to thu front and risk their lives. A company of American troops re- gently showed some hesitation in re- turning to the fighting front south of Archangel, declaring the war with Germany was over and that the Unit ed States was not at war with the bo!" sheviki. The regimental commander, in a speech. said they were fighting d desperate defensive battle and appeal ed to them to stick it out. The com. pany then left for the front. The situation arose when the com pany named was ordered back to tho front after a rest period at Archange! The officers were informed that the l men did not want to go to the fronE again. They asked to have their IT. guments answered.
 The men cOntended they were draft men. cOnscripted for the war with Germany which 1vas fin ished now, that America was not nt war with the bolsheviki, that the entire boishevik question was fI,n >P hate and indecision in the United 1 States and that so far as they concerned they were unable l to why they should he fight 1 ing if there was war. The reeimental commander said that l perhaps their own lives depended upon | the fighting upon this front and then
 made his successful appeal, reciting to
 the men traditions of the American army
 This incident was only the outcrop- hing of what seems to be the general ! feeling among the American troops of l fcers as well as men Because of this
 feeling, it is admitted more or less
 generally that the troops now here 1 probably will be of little use after
 June 10.
 1 Tn official circles in Archapgel there is no disposition seriously to blame ] tho troops for this condition On
 their arrival in north Russia last Sep , ember the Americans were keen for fighting the bolsheviki who they hal
 heen told were German agents They have fought bravely throughout the campaign and they are still doing so. However! since the armistice with 1 Germany was declared the soldiers
 have been subjected to constant bolshe- ! wiki propaganda, which, together with their desire to return homeAafter the
 end of the war for which they were
 drafted and the hardships and lone
 liness of the Arctic winter, has caused | them to lose their spirits.
 Meanwhile they have had mo official
 statement from the government to
 answer bolshevill propagandsl and nc i American in Archangel is in a position
 to tell them officially what they ai c
