Beggars Are Few
in France, Report

1t has just been discovered bore
that the high cost of living
throughout France has had one
good effect. that of killing beg
gary. The shortage of small
change helped to deal the death
blow. Hundreds of beggars who
loitered the streets of Paris have
II W turned to work, where some
of them are earning good money.
In the good old da.s before the
war u beeGar in France often net
ted as much as ten francs a day.
The average workman in factory
rarely got more than six francs.
The only sort of beggar remaining
in Paris is the one who stands out

Tokyo. (By Mail)-While it is
generally expected that Japan's bust
ness, which is still very much de-
pressed, will revive considerably
with the beginning of next .year, it
seems that it will be necessary to
take far more drastic steps to bring
this about.
Following the great drop of prices
which took place some months ago
and the great slump in the export
trade, a great congestion of goods has
occurred This is seen very striking
ly in the large ports, such as Yoko-
hama and Kobe where warehouses
are crowded to the roofs with goods,
ordered during the boom, when ey-
cry importer figured that merchan-
disc he ordered would increase ma
terially in value while in transit.
This had become so common that
merchants had come to look there
upon almost as a fixed law of trade.
Consequently when the slump in
prices occurred thousands and thous-
ands of tons of goods ordered main
ly for speculation, arrived, their prices
on arrival being considerably lower
than when they had been ordered.
The consequence was that in many
cases the consignees refused to ac-
cept delivery, while in others they
were unable to secure the necessary
funds from the banks. as these be-
came extremely tight the moment the
bottom dropped out of the market.

The Tokyo daily Torodon in speak
ing Of the incident says: HAS not
Mr.. Hersman fallen into a trap laid
by the Koreans? He is a member of
Congress from California Has he
himself staged the whole incident in
o. ler to obtain a fuvenir which he
may bring home to aid the cause Of
anti-Japanese agitation"
While prior to the arrival of the
party, the Tokyo papers took com
paratively little notice of their com
ing, they have made up for lost time
during the past few days, Their com
ment has on the whole been ex-
tremaly friendly, the great note
which is running through it all
being that better acquaintance with
Japan and the Japanese may tend
to inspire the congressman with a
feeling of friendliness towards that
nation.

Eighth grade diplomas issued to pu-

reached a total of ,465 during the
year ending last June, making it
record year by a margin of more
than 1000 according to a report just
received from r. II. Wilson, state
superintendent of public instruction.
Figures on diplomas issued to pu-
pills in Independent districts, includ-
ing virtually all town ana city
schools have not been complied yet
but they are expected to number ap.
proximately the same as for the
country districts, the report says.
Only 122 eighth grade diplomas
were issued outside the independent
districts in Oklahoma last year, the
figures show, while Washita county.

Japanese frankly admit that they
are aware Of the fact that their enc
mics will claim that they are trying
to prejudice the congressional Wis
itors in their favor by appeal to
their stomachs rather than to their
brains, but they want nevertheless
to show the travellers every possible
courtesy and will trust to their
good sense not to misjudge their
motives.
The merry whirl began with d
great luncheon, attended By about
five hundred persons, principally
Japanese officials, and given by
Prince Tokugawa, President of the
louise Of Peers and Speaker Okla OF
the House of Representatives The
usual welcome speeches were re-
sponded to by Senator w J. Harris
and by Congressman John w.
Small. The latter said, referring evi-
lently to California, that one state
can not sway the public opinion OF
the entire United States adding that
ihose who were trying to exaggeratc
the differences between the United
States and Japan were only jingoes.
Both countries were too intent on jus
tice and were too friendly disposed
toward each other ever to make it
possible for any difficulty to find
solution in other than a pacific man
ner.
The Japanese had plainly taken
the hint given when some of the
congressman let it be known that
China's action in serving grape
juice only at many banquets there
had been too exaggerated an atten-
ton to their feelings as citizens OF
dry United States and at the lunch

was the h9ro in Seoul, when he> ap-
peared at meeting of Koreans, and
made a speech. whereupon some Ko-
reans made speeches, ,tqAsI the mee.-
ing was declared off by the police.
When the police interferred with
the Koreans, Hersman interfered
with them and it took an hour to
straighten out the matter Officially
it is now insisted by the party that
Hersman actually did not know that
the meeting had been called off and
that he went there quite innocent.
The Tokyo papers have been anx-
ious to get from Hersman his YER

/ Some little relief has been obtained
in some cases by reshipment Of re-
Gently imported goods to foreign
countries and many a ton of merchan-
disc made the trip back to America
after it had been landed on the docks
Of Yokohama or Kobe. The ware
houses remain crowded however, and
the existing glut becomes daily great
er as the output of Japanese fac
tories continues to add thereto. To
offset this the leaders of many in
dustries have restrained their pro-
duction by operating only part time
or by closing altogether. Thus the
cotton mills run only sixty per cent
capacity.
The one step which seems obvi-
ously necessary, namely, to rid of
the glue by selling the accumulated
goods at lower prices, even at
loss if necessary, is the one step
which the business community will
NOT take, and in this attitude it is
upheld by the government, which
has advanced tremendous sums to
this and that industry for the pur-
pose of keeping up the utterly alb
normal situation. While this may
postpone the day of reckoning, it will,
of course, be impossible for the gov
ernment to advance funds forever,
and the only real effect viii be to
make it take just so much longer for
business to get back to a sound
basis. In the mean time concern
after concern is going under, some
of them large ones. The govern
ment, which is run almost exclusive
ly in the interest of big business, is
doing what it can to encourage vari-
GUS combinations for restraint of
competition and upholding of prices.
with the result that the general pub
lie sees little benefit from the slump
i'll prices.
AS direct consequence of the stag
nation in export and import business,
shipping is suffering. During the
war, when freight rates-soared. Japan
built hundreds of tons of shipping,
but her great merchant fleet is be-
ginning to become a white elephant
on her hands. Freight rates have
gone down to rock bottom, and char
ters with them An ever increasing
number of vessels are being laid up.
All these conditions have not failed
to have their effect on the labor mar
ket, as many workers have been dis
charged altogether, including many
seamen, while others work. only part
time. In the same way the middle |
class is being seriously affected, as
many of the largest corporations are
discharging employees, mainly in
clerical positions, by the hundreds. |
The losses caused by the slump have
been largely book" losses, as Japan
still has her goods, her factories
and her ships, as well as the great /
asset consisting in her Industrious
and, compared to America and Eu-
rope, virtually strike population.
She must, however, train this labor |
ing population to become far more
effective, if she is to keep up success
fully in the world competition. Fur
thermore, she must improve the
quality of her goods, abandon shady /
business methods and extend con
siderable credits on her sales such
as other countries do, but which she

II Feet at Springlield.

Springfield, Mass, March 29.-A
 rapidly rising Connecticut river. which reached the 17-foot mark on the gauge at the old toll bridge last night, furnished attraction for q large number of Sunday pedestrians who lined the rail of the south side of the
 bridge to view the cakes of ice that were being whirled along by the cur rent. A few of the more venture some watched the swirl of the muddy waters from the boathouse landing at the foot of the eastern end of the
 bridge. In less than "A hours yes terday the river had risen two feet. The rise was not quite so rapid as that of Saturday. however, when it went up four feet in about the cor
 responding length of time. The warm
 weather of yesterday melted much of the remaining snow, which was soon added to the river waters.
 While none of the street car or railway lines around this city have
 been flooded yet trouble is being eX- perienced elsewhere. From six to
 nine feet of water is going over the
 Holyoke dam and meadows sur
 rounding Northampton are already inundated. The Mount Tom railroa d was closed about last night because of excess water and with a foot of water now flooding the river road be- tween Holyoke and Northampton this stretch of highway will probably be closed. Further up tho line, between East Northfield and Brattleboro the tracks of tho Central Vermont rail- | road were under water. Cellars on Lowell street are al ready filling up and some trouble was experienced with the pump which refused to work for while. The cellar of the Springfield canoe l club has about four feet of water in it. The waters have reached the New Haven underpass at the foot of Elm street and the only way to reach the canoe club is over the tracks. About midnight there was a ccsSa- =
