COMIC PRESS IS SARCASTIC
 OVER ORDER

Riga, Latvia, July 1S.-The comic press of the Baltic states has recently indulged in much humorous sarcasm regarding the reported order by M. Ganetzky, the Soviet Russian minis ter to Iatvia, of a hand-painted china set for his use on state occasions to cost 500,00 rubles. This is equival- ent, at present rates of exchange in Riga, to something more than $1,200.
 The dinner service, according to re- ports widely circulated in Riga, is to be painted by hand, with each piece representing "a scene from Bolshevik life.''
 One of the comic papers depicts, in a cartoon, Ganetzky seated at a. table, surrounded by this spectacular china, but pushing away the plates and asking for som mething to eat
 In all of the Baltic states, where the Soviet government has legations, the Ministers and their aides live in luxurious contrast to conditions said to prevail in Moscow and Petrograd, say the Baltic newspapers. Each of the ministers has a large automobile been engaged for the Riga legation personnel. Some of the ministers have also brought elaborate1y-fur- nished town houses. Their legations are housed in large hotels in He1sing- fors, Reval, Riga and Kovno, the entire buildings having been taken over for them.
 Between Riga and Moscow, and Reval and Petrograd, luxurious saloon and sleeping cars are operated for the benefit of Bolshevil officials, while all other passengers must crowd into unupholstered. packed. third-class cars The newspapers here and in other Baltic states frequently point to these conditions and contrast them with Communistic ideals

CHARACTER OF JAP
 MINISTER ATTACKED
War Member of Hara Min istry Assailed by Tokio Press As Facilitating in Loyalty.
By DUKE N. PARRY, International News Service Staff Cor

respondent.
 Tokio, July 1S.-The story of the rise of a young military officer Japan. Japan p SpoHtica3 d, clans" is contained in the history of the rise to the posi- tion of War Minister of Lieutenant General Yamanashi. Recently, at the imperial villa in Numazu. General Yamanashi accompanied by Premier Hara. was invested with the title of Minister of War by His Majesty the Emperor of Japan. Following the ceremonies the new Cabinet Minister was received in audience by the Elm press. Later the group of officials withy the Empress, were the guests of the Emperor at luncheon.
 Praise for the new Minister of War as a strategist but condemnation of the means by which he has risen to power is contained in an account of his career given in the Hochi. the organ of the Okuma interests of Ja- pan. While not denying the fact that General Yamanashi. as an as sertive official, will be an addition to the Hara Ministry, the Hochi pre- reflect upon the character of the new Minister of War.
 General Yamanashi was born in Kama gawa Prefecture. a circumstance which attests to his ability as a dip lomat," the Hochi's writer begins, flor Kanagawa is one of the prefec- lures little associated with military clanism. As a young officer his eX- cellent ability as a soldier was rec ognized by General Tamura, and this evidently led to the marriage of the new Minister of War to General Ia mura's daughter.
 ''His connection with General Tan aka, whom he succeeded in the Hara Cabinet, may be traced to the time of the death of General Tamura. Young Yamanashi at that time saw unmistakable evidence of the decline of the Satsuna clan. and he was not slow to forsake the cause of his fa- ther-in-law and benefactor, a staunch Satsuma- His quick eye saw In General Tanaka a future leader of the Chosu clan, and he made com- mon cause with him.
 ''These few details" concludes the Hochi, "are enough to enable one to form an idea of the personality of the new Minister of War. One of the inevitable conclusions from 1t all is that, while a diplomat and a valu- able man in the military sense, he Is not a man of character"

 Prohibition officers declared today they are confident smuggling of in toxicants on this coast is being con- ducted on tremendous scale. Car goes worth vast fortunes are believed to have been brought from foreign countries, transferred to small boats at night and cached in unfrequent spots
 It is thought probable that the ssbloekade ruriners'' have also trans ferred their illegal cargoes to vessels bearing authoritative clearance pa pers. This, the officers say, would account for the strange actions of the mystery ships" Their explanation is this,
 The captain of the liquor laden ves- se1 is instructed to meet another ves- se1, bound for an American port, at a given point along the coast and transfer his liquor, which can them be landed with legitimate cargo. When the runner reaches the rendezvous it approaches various vessels and, failing to get the proper signal. hur- ries off to prevent discovery.
