STEAMER IS AGROUND

United Fruiter Goes Ashore off High
 land Light, Near Truro, Mass.-To
 F1ot With Tide.
 Truro, Mass, July S.&The United Fruit company's steamship Magyar went ashore in fog off Highland light today. She stranded just before low tide and sent word ashore by wire less today that she expected to float with the water rose. The Mayari was bound from Banes, Cuba for Boston with sugar.
 The attention of the Highland light coast guards was attracted to the stemr's plight of whistling, and Cap tain William Page and his crew went out to her in their surf boat.
 A few minutes later the fog lifted momentarily and the steamer could be made out faintly from shore. She ap- peared to be roasting easily on sand bar The sea was calm and there ap- peared to be little immediate danger.
 The Mayari struck near the spot where the British ship Jason was lost with all hands in 1903.

 It is Lord Birkenhead's opinion that matrimonial suits may not return at least for a generation, to the pre-War level.
 The anomaly of the present situa- tion has revived controversies on the inadequacies of English divorce laws.
 Mrs. Seaton-Tiedeman, secretary of the Divorce Law Reform union, esti- mates that the number of wrecked marriages in the United Kingdom is higher in proportion to the popula- ton than in the United States.

NO DANGER OF
 WAR WITH JAPAN
Secretary Of Japanese Embassy
 Calls War Talk Propaganda

Tokio, July S.-''It is regrettable that the real character and policy of the new American president should be misunderstood by some of the Jap- anese people," said Micho Kaku, sec retary of the Japanese embassy in Washington who has just returned or furlough, when interviewed by the Asahi representative. MT. Kaku con. tinued:
 ''The president has often had oc- casion to express his conviction thai an AngIo-American-Japanese entente should be made the basis of world peace. There is every reason to be lieve that the American president and his staff are all in favor of the main tenance of friendly relations between America and Japan.
 "Mr. Ozaki's policy of armament limitation produced a favorable i'm pression on American minds in gen. eral although the plan was defeated in the Japanese lower house.
 "On my way back, was often asked by American friends when the Amerl- can-Japanese war was going to break out, and some young American wom- en I met in the country districts as-
 
 to offer their services as hospital nurses upon the outbreak of Ameri- can-Japanese hostilities.
 ''I was rather surprised that so many Americans should anticipate an American-Japanese armed conflict. My impression is that the Americans are prepared to fight If challenged, but otherwise they will be the last to take up arms against the Japanese The diplomatic relations of the two countries are not, therefore, by any means so seriously strained or going to be strained as to justify any antic- ipation of an American-Japanese war. If the situation appears to be any, thing but quite smooth, that is only because of the propaganda of some Chinese and Bolsheviks.' @
 In the Osaka Mainichi MT. Kaku is quoted as saying that what had struck home particularly during his three years service in the United States was the deep impression which Japan's militarism had made on American minds The general impression among Americans is that the mill tary party is predominant in Japan and that the Japanese government is under its influence. This bears wit ness to the extensive injury which the existence of the military party in Japan Is doing to the country's cause.
 But MT. Kaku emphasized that MT. Ozakfs disarmament speeches had produced a greater echo than expect ed and that Americans. generally in these speeches to indicate a decline in the influence of the Jap anese military party.
 He was convinced also that as a re- suit of the friendly attitude of the new American government, the "anti- situation in the United States had improved very consider Qhlv.

Province, Shows Intense Loyalty for
 King.
 Rome, July S-Sardinia is fond of calling herself the Ireland of Italy, and of threatening to separate from the mother country whom it accuses of having always behaved to the gal ] Tt little island in a somewhat step nlothc-!y way. However, the recent visit of King Victor Emmanuel to his Sardinian subjects was the occasion .nr an outburst of loyalty which will oblige the instigators of separatism to defer their hopes. Even the So- cialists joined in welcoming the king.
 Sardinia needs roads and railways to transport her splendid harvests of grain and her other agricultural products to the mainland, and above all government help for retaining the unhealthy districts and system atically. and scientifically combating the terrible scourge of malaria which renders many of her most productive r. vinces almost uninhabita ble TOT several months of the year.

HUMAN BEINGS AT
 WORK AS CARRIERS
Chaotic Conditions in Russia Told
 by Writers

Riga, Latvia, July 8.-The chaotic conditions and daily tragedies that followed upon resumption of free trade in South Russia are described graphically by a writer for the Mos COW lsvest!a who has just made a trip through the Ukraine.
 The peasants, he says, carrying sacks of grain or other foods to cities are literally overwhelming the rail- ways. He thus describes the ap- pearance of one of the trains coming into Kiev.
 Along the tracks is crawling a huge grey caterpillar-a train cov- cred all over with the grey masses of food-carriers. From beneath these masses neither cars nor locomotives can be distinguished. The grey mass covers everything, the car roofs, the steps and even the spaces between cars. Every available nook is oc- cupied. Everything is filled up. Only when the train begins to slow down, nearing Kiev station, it begins to shed its grey fleece. Little by little, while yet in motion, the locomotive and car roofs. begin to uncover.
 At Kiev all outbound trains are literally pasted all over with people. On the locomotive, cars, firewood truck, water tank and under the cars anywhere that it is possible people fasten themselves to every hook, nail or crevice. Those who have been fortunate enough to get a place on a brake platform are looked upon as favorites of fortune, who are comfortable for their whole trip.
 
 accompanied by lamentations, walls, crying, shooting and all kinds of accidents. When the train is begin ming to get in motion, those who were not able to board it and those who have been forcibly removed from it start mad rushes for it again. The military attachments, whose duty it is to maintain order during the board ing of trains, run after the trains, pulling down some of the surplus passengers who have managed to fasten onto them, while from others caps are pulled off and so on.
 "One of the results of this state of affairs is that porters take 5O,- 900 to 75,OOO of rubles for 'guaran- teed' place on the train.
 Another result is that the Kiev railway SnOpS every month nave to make about 300 coffins for food-car- riers who have been run over by the trains.''
 M. Dzerzhinsky, head of the "Che- ka," or committee to combat coun- ter-revolution, known as one of the most efficient men in soviet Russia, has been appointed by Lenine as commissar of railways to regulate this traffic of food-carriers.

ment When Patient, on Operating
 Table, Is Dying.
 Boston, July 8.-A case in which the fire department was called to save the life of a young woman who was on the operating table at a hospital and sue ceeded became known yesterday.
 The patient had stopped breathing after a major operation and heart and pulse beats became weaker. Physicians and nurses had tried for an hour to revive respiration without success when the fire department was called upon to send a pulmotor.
 The patient was so weak that pure oxygen could not be pumped safely in- to the lungs at first and clear air was alternated with dash of oxygen. After seven minutes breathing was begun and in half an hour the patients respira- ton was normal. Dr. s. l.. Strong, the physician in charge. said yesterday that the pulmotor proved effective and he praised Captain William Swan and the fire department squad in charge of it.
