Toxic, July 3.-Japan's Indefinite
handling OF the Siberian problem" Is
causing suspicion among the powers,
IN the opinion Of Marquis shigeno-
.bu Okuma. one Of the elder srares-
men. Like Clemenceau in France,
when out Of office. Okuma has the
reputation Of, fearlessly criticising
the men who are running the govern
ment
In an interview Okuma said the
reason for sending Japanese army
to Siberia does not seem to be clearly
understood by the majority of the
people. He added:
"The object of the Sino- japanese
war: and the Russo war as
we'll as the war with Germany were
clearly understood by the nation. who
worked to attain the ultimate goal
with full and unanimous accord. AS
to the Siberian business the japanese
people are as much in the dark as the
troops who are lighting the bolshe-
viks on the Siberian steppes."
After remarking on the withdrawal
OF American troops from Siberia,
okuma insisted that If Japan finds II
NECESSARY to maintain her troops
there the whole situation should be
laid frankly before the powers. He
went on: what the government is
doing Is not clear and is apt to Gre
ate the suspicion abroad that Japan
is keeping her troops in Siberia for
ulterior motives. Already blame is
directed against us for the military
policy alleged to be pursued by Japan
in the Russian eastern provinces.
1T would be better" he concluded,

R0BBERIES OF
PAYROLL BRING
NEW METHODS
Business House Will Dispense
With Use of Money in
Handling Accounts

Rochester Nov. 16.--A large bust
ness house having headquarters in
this city mas undertaken to conduct
its affairs entirely without the use OF
money. Instead Of currency, it in
tends to use checks, trade acceptances
and travel checks to make payments of
every kind, including it's payroll AS
the concern deals with more than
100000 individual customers the re-
suit of the experiment will be watch
ed with interest:
The company's reason for adopting
this method is given as an effort to
demonstrate means of ending the
epidemic Of payroll robberies and "to
show that modern business may be
conducted most efficiently without the
use Of small change, thus leaving
the nations money where it belongs,
in the banks, to serve as the basis
of credit -H3 #.
The announcement says even car
fares, hotel bills and railroad fares for
the cOmpany's force Of several hun
dred statesmen, and other sundrics are
to be paid by checks. All petty items
even to one-cent postage stamps will
be paid henceforth by check and ''no
currency Of any amount or denomina-
ton is to be carried in any form as
company property"
To meet the payroll of its factory.
the company has offered to employees
either regular pay check or the
option of receiving on pay day de-
post slip showing that his earnings
for the week have been deposited to
his credit in local bank. This plan
is expected by the house to prove
popular with the thrifty class Of en-
ployes and to increase the volume OF
bank deposits. Executive employees
who have no banking account have
been advised to start one at once.
