KAMAKURA. Japan, March 10
Japan is crowded with tourists as
never before in the history Of the
country, and the government realiz-
! ing the seriousness of the situation.
has requested the tourist agencies to
warn intending visitors of probable
Inconvenience. The desire for travel
struck the Japanese the same time
as the Americans. At the so-called
foreign hotels there are waiting lists,
| and in order to be sure of rooms it
| Is necessary to apply days and weeks
| In advance.
In the meantime strangers are given
| temporary accommodations at the
| native hotels. but this means a some
| what rigorous experience at this sea-
son OF the year. Except for a few
glowing charcoal sticks, the hotels
| depend upon the sun for heat. while
the picturesque paper windows and
| doors, with snow-capped Fujiyama
| in sight. make the rooms feel decided
ly chilly for Americans used to steam
heat.
There are similar Inconvenience in
| railroad travelling. It is necessary to
! make reservations several days in
advance. While Japan will have bet
ter and warmer weather in a few
weeks. no improvement is expected
| in hotel conditions. Several preten-
j tious hotels have been proposed. but
actual work on them has not started,
as the financial hackers are dubious
as to whether the conditions will
continue. though the present prices

FOR MEMORIAL TREES

Commissioner Brownlow said today
he and Commissioner Kutz have not
yet decided definitely where memorial
trees should be planted as monuments

during the war.
Mr.. Brownlow said he has been in
| favor of having the trees planted
along the approach to the Lincoln
Memorial in Potomac Park, but
whether this will be decided on is not
known.
Sixteenth street extended also has
been given serious consideration by
| those who are furthering this plan for
honoring the Districts heroes who
| made the supreme sacrifice.
1t is not unlikely that an effort will
| be made to perfect the plan in time to
plant the trees on Memorial day,

SIBERIA SALMON
 CANNING BRISK

VANCOUVER, B. C., July 21.-- That all the canning of salmon is not done on the Pacific Coast is indicated by the report Of Siberian activities made by A. U. Boltesky. Mr. Baltesky arrived in Vancouver from Washington on his way to Vladiyostok and in speaking on the Russo-Japanese Fishing Companly, of which he is a director, pointed out that last year the total eaten of the company amounted to l36,- 5000 salmon and 50,000,0 ,000 her ring.
 More than that, MT. Baltesky ex- pressed the opinion that Siberia was the future home of the fish can ming industry. His company, he said. would have 300 special con sessions on the Siberian coast this season, in Boring and Okatsk seas, all the concessions having been re- newed by the Vladivostok govern ment.
 In the revision of the concessions Russia is getting 21 per cent. and Japan 79 per cent. an arrangement not satisfactory to the Russians, but the only one possible under present conditions as the Japanese were heavily interested financially.
 Fine varieties of salmon run in Siberian rivers, he said, and they were growing more numerous every year. Four new cannerieS are be ing installed to take care of a larg- CT pack, fitted with American ma chinery, financed in Japan and the United States
