Japan Greatly Effected
 Because Of Recent War
Economic Effects Great Despite Little Active Partcipa
 tion-Laboring Class Is Now In Constant E State of Unrest

Japan probably saw less of the war than Switzerland or tzoIiand, yet re- cent reports indicate that it's econo mic effects there have been revolu- tionary Japanese fought at Kiao Chau, and Japanese forces were sent into Siberia, but these were minor matters. The effect felt is not that of men slain or victories won, but of an upheaval of the whole social sys- tenn of the empire.
 The recent news of disorders bring ing about the edict of the Emperor dissolving the Japanese Diet is appar- entiy but one of many manifestations. Men familiar with Japanese affairs say the true root of the unrest there lies in the fact that for the first time in history Japanese labor has money in his pocket-or wherever he keeps it. The old feuda1 system of baron and serf is passing and with it's passing has come the middle class capitalist and the prosperous laborer. e These classes after the fashion of their fellows in other races, are not only demanding but asserting their rights and are apparently not satis- fled with such doles as have been youchsafed When it is recalled that a. hundred years ago Japan was a hermit nation and is now a modern manufa cturer and merchant some reason for the heat produced by still more striking changes may be inag- ined.
 Americans, with their diversified menu, can hardly understand the i'm 1ortance of rice in Japan. It is not
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1920-03-09

only a staple of diet-in way that no article of food, even bread, is a staple here-but it is a badge of caste. Not all Japanese can afford rice; the poorer classes eat millet. Between the rice-eater and the millet- eater is a social gulf wider than the distinction in America between the
 man who owns an automobile and the man who doesn't, wider than the diff ference between a white collar and a flannel shirt-it is a gulf so wide that we have nothing to compare it with.
 The Japanese eat rice because they love it better than any other food that grows, and if a man doesn't eat it there is only one explanation-he cannot afford it. There is no use in his trying to pretend that his doc tor ordered him not to eat it, for no Oriental doctor would dream of issuing such an order; he can't pre- tend a preference for -millet, for in Japan there "ain't no such animaT'' as preference for millet; he may not even abjure rice for the sake of a hobby or because of religious con- victions against it, or to be artistical- ly eccentric, for Japanese thought does not recognize such departures from convention.
 In Japan before the war a large proportion of the population were mfllet-eaters; their fathers had never been able to eat anything but nillet and they dared not entertain the am- bition of ever being anything them l selves but nillet-eaters. With the war, however, came high wages and unexpected affluence, and the Jap

anese working people demonstrated that, so far as human desires go, east and west are one.
 They did not buy rurs or diamonds like the muniticn girls of New York and Delaware and California, but they lost little time in spurning the humble ni1let seed and turning to the fashionable rice. And having tasted rice and found it good they are gorg- ing themselves on it.
 The Japanese government, far
 sighted in many things was caught
 unawares by this new appetite. The
 rice acreage was normal and popula- ton had not increased inordinately; therefore this huge consumption of
 rice was totally unexpected.
 There began a frantic search of the rice markets of the world. Corea' s surplus was soon exhausted; China 1 was levied on then Siam, which ! promptly clamped an embargo on rice exportation; in Burmah and An nam, which is French Cochin China.
 attacks on the rice supply were simi- larly repulsed. South China is still 1 shipping to Japan, for China always
 exports rice, even when famine is 1 rife in it's own land; but Japan's de- mand is still thrilled.
 1 To meet the crisis the Government i is trying to educate the Japanese away from rice, but it is no simple l matter, like placarding the United l States with Bread Will Win the 1 War; Advancing prices produce i as little effect as does the rise in dia-
 monds here; the "nouveau rice" peo- 1 pie cling desperately to their respec- 1 liability.
 | The Government is now attempting 1 something else, introducing substitu- tes and advocating the mixture ot 1 rice with other foodstuffs. As well l try to make a Newark factory girI surrender her fur coat and return to last winters chinchilIa or persuade the Old Soak to exchange his private stock for 2.75.

AlRPLANE MOTOR SHOOTS SHELLS
 THROUGH SHAFT

An airplane motor which shoots inch and a half shells through a pro Deller shaft was announced today by the Wright Aeronautical Corporation with the authority of the Army Ar Service. The motor, while driving the planes in flight, automatically pumps through armored jackets in rapid succession shells weighing pound each.
 The motor is of Wright Hispano design and was produced by the Wright Corporation at New Bruns- wick, N. J. It will form part of the national aircraft exposition at the Seventy-first Regiment Armory be- ginning March 6.
 The car,.,on is of .S7 mill;mecer bore. The crank case is split verti- cally to simplify the installation of the gun Both intake and exhaust ports are on the outside of the cylind- CT block. and the carburetor is under the crank case. The engine is also equipped with two synchronizlng at tachments for the operation of addi- tiona1 quick firing guns.
 The motor cannon will make the airplane effective on armored plane, tank, submarine and dirigible. Here tofore, with only a machine gun or two for offensive and defensive pur- poses, the plane has had only a small chance of successfully attack ing any sort of armored implement of war except with a bomb. |, Dirigibles will be proof from in cendiary bullets because of the dis covery of commercial methods fol producing helium gas. Thus grea value will accrue to airplanes from the use of a high explosive .37 milIi meter shell. The advantage of thi: | gun in attacking an ordinary airplant 1 will be tremendous when it is loadin:

DIRECTIONS FOR THE USE \ .A4s$s OF VICKS

Vapors Important For diseases of the respiratory organs, such as colds, large part of the value of Vicks lies in it's vapcrizmg qualities. Therefore, whenever Vicks is applied over the throst and chest, care should be taken to leave the clothing loose around the neck and the bed clothes arranged in the forn of funnel, so that the vaPors arising may be freely inhaled.
 Hot Wet CIoths s-In cases of very severe colds, sore thIaS, ccAshs, incip- ient pneumonia: etc., hot. wet towels should be applied over the ttEoat and chest to open the pores of the skin be- foEe applying Vicks.
 F1esh A;rPfen8y of fresh air in the bed room is the best way to prevent colds and jung troubles. Fresh air docs not czuse colds; ds;itsuegthensth the lungs, enabling the system to throw of colds. As4hma Vicks is not "clre' for asthma-so far as we know; there IS no cure. In many cases, however, VickS does give relief Rub 1t well over the spinal column, from the neck to the hips to relieve, the nervous tension. Then apply freely over threat and chest at bed time and cover with hot hannels. Renew frequently and always have the covers 1OOSC, so the VapOIS may DC freely inhaled. Also melt Vicks in spoon and inhaie the vapors and apply little up the nostriIs.
 Bronchitis, Sore Threat, Colds in the Chest-If severe case, first apply hot, wet towels over the throat and chest. Then rub Vicks in we'll until the skin is rcd, spread on thickly and cover with two thicknesses of hot, fan nei cloths.
 Catarrh, Colds in the Head-Meit a little Vicks in spoon and inhale the vapors. Also apply well up the nostrils. There are so many varieties of catarrh that competent physician should all ways be consulted. For many forms, however, Vicks is excellent. Dissolve half teaspoonful of salt in pint of warm water and snuff up the nostri1s night and morning. Then insert Vicks freely up the nosui1s as far as pos sible, snufing well hack into the air passages.
 ChiIdren's Colds - Vicks is particu- Iarly valuable in treating clildren's
 odds, since it is an external treatment.
 and therefore, does not disturb the delicate digestions of children. The best plan is to keep Vicks constantly on hand and apply freely and often at the first sign of ''sniffies.''

Vicks Acts Both Externally
 and Internally

X7ICK'S VAPORUB is the discovery of North Carolina druggist L. Richardson, who found way to combine the standard, time tested remedies - Menthol Camphor Turpentine, Eucalyptus Thyme, Juniper etc. in sa1ve forrn that when Vicks is applied to the body, these ingredients vaporized by the body heat.
 INTERNALLY, these vapors, inhaled with each breath all night long, carry the medication direct air passages and lungs
 EXTERNALLY, Vicks is absorbed through and stinu- ates the sk attracting the blood the affected parts and aiding the vapors inhaled to relieve the infam nation congestion.
 How the Use of Vicks Has Grown Starting with the customers of Mr. Richardsons retail drug store, the of Vicks has increased county by county, state by state, until than r million jars used annually practically one jar for every family in the United Statesand this in spite that Vicks is still many people in the North and West.

Accused War Criminals.

Confronted with q demand for the
delivery of nearly 900 persons to the
allied governments for trial for war
crimes, Kurt Won Lersner, the German
representative st Paris, has refused to
transmit the list of the accused to-
Berlin and has sent to that capital
his resignation. The demand for the
surrender of these persons will now
be expressed directly to Germany by;
the council of ambassadors.
Baron Won Lersner's letter of re-
fusal suggests the possibility of com
plete German balk against compliance
with the demand for the surrender Of
these 900 officers and officials for trial
and punishment He reeites the fact
that he has during the last three
months ten times in writing and thir-
teen times orally set forth the reasons
why it is impossible to comply with
such request, no matter what the So
cial rank of the accused persons might
a.
be-" He says:
81 remind your excellency of my
constantly repeated declarations that
no German functionary would be dis
posed to be in any way whatever in
strumental in the realization of the de-
mand for their extradition.'
A dispatch from Berlin states that
Won Lersner's refusal to accept the al
lied note was not in accordance with
instructions, the German government
having requested him to receive it, but
he asked by telegraph for permission
to retire and his resignation was ae-
cepted. This would seem to cast some
doubt upon Won Lersners authority to
indicate disposition on the part of
Germany to refuse to comply with the
treaty provision for the punishment
of those accused of war crimes.
If Germany balks at the allied de-
mand, pleading impossibility of com
plianee, strong measures may be nee
essary, unless the allied governments
are disposed to waive the stipulation,
which was one of the fundamental
principles of the treaty of peace, that
those against whom specific crimes are
charged should be brought to trial, and
if proved guilty punished. Undoubt-
edly' Germany wishes for no better
opening for a general disregard of the
treaty than such waiver would offer.
Thus far every requirement of the
armistiee terms and the peace treaty
has been met grudgingly and only in
partial measure.

February Shows.

:, 1t has come to be accepted that
Washington's worst winter weather is
experienced between the list of Feb
ruary and the 18th of March. Most of
the severe storms that this city has
suffered during the past three or
four decades have come within that
period. Practically all the so-callcd
"blizzards' that have hit the District
have come then. The present vista
ton, which started with symptoms of
developing into serious storm, is a
characteristic February experience.

Single e-Track Railroading.

Two trolley cars collided, head on,
yesterday morning in Virginia, near
this city. A score of people were
hurt, some seriously. Mercifully none
was killed outright, and the damage
done, considering the circumstances,
was slight. But the fact remains that
many persons were put in peril by the
collision, the specific cause of which
is under investigation. The basic
cause, however, is not far to seek. Sim
gle-track railroading is always dan
gerous- 1t is impossible to operate cars
on even a carefully adjusted schedule
on such line without peril. The sim
gle-track rail line is an anachronism.
1t should not be tolerated. Just at
present there is the excuse of high
prices and high wages to prevent i'm
prOvements, but before the prices went
so high there was opportunity to con-
struet double-track lines, and those
single track roads that now remain in
operation are a reproach to corpora
tions operating them and states per-
mitting them.

tion for a number of years, ever since
the courts ruled that, the title to the
street spaces between building lines
resting in the United States, there is
no law to compel householders to clean
the walks in front of their premises.
Congress has done nothing whatever
to solve this problem, and this
city, perhaps alone of all in the
United States, is without any means Of
insuring safe, clear passageways
through the streets for the people. The
task of framing a law that will in the
light of the prior decisions hold house
holders to a responsibility for side
walk cleaning, even though the title to
the spaces is vested in the govern
ment, should not be beyond the pow
ers of the legislature.

Nevertheless, there is strong sus'

that they differ in opinion and pur-
nose on other issues besides the peace
treaty: that the leadership of the one

The North Dakota democrats pledge
themselves. They will support the San
Francisco result, be it Wilsonian or
Bryanian.
1t may be that democrats elsewhere
will feel impelled in the interests Of
harmony to make similar pledge.
The situation at best is precarious
and as has been demonstrated many
times es-conspicuously in 1896 and in
1912-a party divided against itself
cannot stand.
