powers by that treaty. Japan, Great
Britain. France and Italy are Informed
by Secretary Hughes In similar notes

Specifically, the communications

which II must assume. was taken I'm.
der Misrepresentation, will be recon-
siiered."
The notes are the first important
diplomatic communications penned by
the new secretary and they make II
plain that the change of administra-
ton has resulted In no modification of
the position OF the United States that
MS n principal contributor to the vic.
tory over Germany 1t must insist on
the exercise OF Its full rights In the
disposition Of the former German
possessions.
The note to Japan Is In reply to one

other three were supplemental to pre-
viOus notes. The series was begun By
Secretary Colby Nov. o.
Asserting there could he no valid

Rotary Hughes points out that the
peace treaty does not ''purport to ~

any right In the overseas possessioaa
Of Germany save as an equal right
therein should he secured to III

"On the contrary" he says, "Articls

JAPANESE WOMEN
DEMAND SUFFRAGE

TOKYO, Jan. 4-The growing in
terest taken by women in public
matters in Japan is shown by ef-
forts which are being made by a
society of new women" to secure
equal suffrage for women. A bill
has been drawn up to this effect
which will be introduced at the
coming session of the diet.
As matter of fact, the women
want even greater rights than are
accorded men in Japan at present,
Tor whereas at present no one is
allowed to vote who. does not pay at
least yen a year in national taxes,
the women want this qualification
eliminated in regard to them, as
they argue that married women
who are occupied with conducting
the affairs of their households
should have the same rights as
women engaged in business. An
ether measure proposes to do away
with the present police regulation
which prevents women from attend
ing political meetings.
The same organization of women
proposes to place before the diet a
eugeniC law, which will require all
men to provide themselves with
medical certificates, testifying to
their physical fitness, before they
are allowed to marry.

Samuel Gompers headed a delega-

Federation of Labor which left
Washington yesterday afternoon for

Santiago IgIesias, President Of
the Porto Rican Federation of La
Dor, affiliated with the American
Federation, had a thrilling time
making connections. He arrived in
NAg York from Porto Rico yester-
day forenoon, and rode in a smoking
compartment all the way to Wash
ington. His train was due in Wash
ington at 4:4O, and the train on
which the party left for St. Louis,
en- route for the border, was
scheduled to leave at 4:50. How
ever, the New York train limped in
eleven minutes late. Iglesias, a
portly gentleman laden down with
suitcases, descended from the rear
end of the train as 1t entered the
terminal, and by dint of running
in front of the outgoing st. Louis
train and making frantic motions
at the engineer, succeeded in Clamb-
ering aboard.
Those in the party are: Samuel
Gompers, president Of the American
Federation of Labor. and also presi-
dent Of the Pan American Fedora

and Canuto Vargas. secretary. of the
