other machine to which he was chain
ed, the prisoner made his escape but

Tokyo. Nov. 5.-The japanese
cabinet has resigned following the
assassination of its head. Premier
Hara.
Advices to this effect were sent
to Admiral Baron Kato. minister
of the navy. in Washington today.
Admiral Kato ranked next to the
late premier in the cabinet.
The resignation of the cabinet
will not be accepted for a few
days: probably. pending plans for
the formation of a new body.
Elder Statesmen Meet.
The Genro, or elder statesmen, in
cluding Prince Yamagatea and the
Marquises Matsukata and Salon IL,
went into session late today. Upon
their decision depends upon whose
shoulders will fall the task of forming
new cabinet to succeed that OF
Premier Hara.
It was believed here this afternoon
that Marquis Saionji leads all of the
possibilities to head the new cabinet.

the time OF his death. No less than
three times before he has been called
upon to occupy the post of prime min.
lister ad interim between the resigna.
ton of one ministry and the formation
OF another.
Several Possibilities.
Following Marquis SaionI in the list
of possibilities to head the new cabinet
is Baron Shimpei Goto, a member OF
the house of peers, and a cabinet mem.
ber during the Terauchi regime. Wis.

distinguished diplomats, is also men.

Eleven thousand milk wagon
drivers on strike in New York are
smashing milk bottles, overturning
wagons labeled milk for babies"
The employers, as is natural, hide
gladly behind the babies long
skirts. Drivers, without knowing
it, are smashing their unions while
smashing milk bottles. They may
be in the rght-only the Angel
Gabriel knows about that.
But employers, wisely advised,
had no lockouts or strikes while
labor was scarce, in war. Labor,
not advised, is playing the en-
ployers' game, abandoning jobs,
with five million, idle, waiting for
their places.

Wheat goes down. 1t sold at
9S cents bushel yesterday.
Formerly a bushel of wheat and
a days labor were worth about
the same. Roman soldiers,
marching, chewed raw whole
wheat, carried in a bag at the
waist. That explains the Won
derfully strong, flat teeth still
found in old Roman skulls.
Recently wages have got away
from the level of zone bushel of
wheat for one days work" But
you notice that as wheat drifts
below a dollar there are five or
six million idle Americans that
would like to be sure of even one
dollar a day for the next hun
dred days.
One bushel of wheat will keep
a family alive for several days,
with cold water added. And thus
far the plan has been to give
the run of men only as much as
would keep them alive.

Shibusawa, richest Japanese, is
in America, travelling with fifteen
Japanese big-gun financiers. His
object is to establish "better rela-
tions" between japanese and
American financiers. Let him not
fret; his task will be easy. Finance
knows and sympathizes with
finance, whether its skin be white,
brown or yellow. Labor of diff
ferent nations and colors fights,
finance never.
Viscount Shibusawa, eighty
two, will find only glad, out
stretched han ds. American
finance will say:
"Come right in, sit down.
Want to sell? Well buy. Want
to buy? Well sell. Glad to see
you"
That's why finance rules. 1t
is intelligent and unprejudiced.
AS Lord Beaverbrooke said here,
a little while ago, "the British
empire deals with anybody, in
cluding cannibals."
This nation does not realize
its biggest losses or what causes
them. To run the Government
costs a little over three thousand
million dollars a year. Harold
A. Hatch, an expert, says that
idleness costs the country four
thousand million dollars a year.
About three thousand millions
additional is wasted by slowing
UP" by workmen foolishly afraid
to produce too much. There you
lose twice what it costs to run
the Government-army, navy,
and all foolishness combined.
H. G. Wells, asked yesterday
what Russia needed, replied:
ITO be let alone, allowed to
recover" Russia will come back
when the United States decides
to do the sensible thing. Russia
is the only country in the world
that could ever be greater than
the United States-in wealth
and resources, and she is greater
now in size, population, and un-
developed possibilities.
Smooth gentlemen from Japan
will soon tell the Washington
conference that the Mikado
yearns for peace and all Japan
hates war.
You get more accurate infor-
nation when you read a cable
from Tokyo announcing the mur.
der of Hara, Japanese prime
minister. He is the first Jap
anese without sristocratic birth
to head the japanese govern
ment. He really wanted peace,
cutting down of war expense.
That's why thoy murdered him.
