CUBAN CRISIS
 NOTICEABLE TO
 ALL OBSERVERS
Business and Financial De. pressiion in. Island Seen
 on Every Hand.

HAVANA, July 25-Signs of Cuba's business and financial de- pression are evident to the most casual observer. Three big banks, with scores of branches, are closed. The parks are full of idlers. Stores are blazoning what they call "bar. gain sales," with goods marked down some times as much as per cent from mid-war prices, which is the Spanish merchants idea of sacrific ing profits. ca
 The papers are full of the gov. ernmental plans for buying 1,000000 tons of surplus sugar at price that will save producers and dealers from ruin, for re-establishing banking ia cilities that will relieve the pressing scarcity of currency, for cutting the cost of running the government from $1O4, ,O0O, ,OOO to about $60,0OO.O 900 a year and for reducing the cost of living.
 Politicians within reaching dis tance of the political plum basket are dogged day and night by swarms of job hunters. Hundreds of stocky Gallegos. the transient laborers from across the Atlantic, are struggling in from the sugar plantations and walking the streets. waiting for ships to take them back to Spain.
 Tenants, with Latin enthusiasm, are organizing Don't Pay Rent" campaigns until landlords come down to the 1914 scale and the govern ment forces the cost of primary ne cessities down a couple of hundred' per cent
 Out of the hooks and corners where they have lived on the boun ty of relatives since the war sent sugar sky high and started flood of gold into Cuba, they are coming tapping canes, propelling wheeled chairs, following dogs, being led by children or hopping on crutches-the beggars are coming to town.

Japan's Court Life Is
 To Be More Democratic

TOKYO, July Exchanges, demo- cratic in nature, will probably be made for the court life of Japan and in the relations of the Imperial fam fly to the people, as result of the visit of Prince Hirohito to Europe. It is likely that the printing of pho tographs of members of the Imperial family in newspapers and magazines will be permitted. The military guards which are always established on the occasion of visit of mem Der of the Imperial family to any place outside the palace will also be simplified, if the suggestions which have been formulated by. officers of the Imperial household are accepted,
 According to one report. the house hold department requested the Grown Prince to inquire while he is abroad as to the customs which are fol- lowed in the royal family of Great Britain and as to the social works which are undertaken by them. It is assumed that these customs and practices which exist in Great Brit ain will be adopted here following the Grown Princes return td Japan

NEW COURT OF KANSAS PROVES
 GREAT SUCCESS
Industrial Court Is Now As sured Establishment
 Says Governor.

TOPEKA, Kans., July 25.-After a year and a half of operation, the fu- ture of the Kansas Court of Indus trial Relations seems assured, Gov ernor Henry J. Allen declared in statement today
 Each of the 28 orders and judg ments of the court rendered thus far has been accepted by both sides of the controversy, excepting the last, which is now pending on appeal before the state Supreme court" Governor Allen said Employers and employees alike are coming to regard the court as an up-to-date method for settling industrial dis putes.
 "The result in the coal mining dis trict has been most striking. Un- der conditions created by the in, dustrial court last year, the miners were enabled to work 30 per cent more than the year before, with the resultant increase in production of fuel for the public and wages to the miners.
 Interest in the Kansas remedy for industrial war is becoming world wide. The pressing need for sim liar legislation in other states has become apparent, and many are pre- pairing to follow the lead of Kansas in providing for justice in labor troubles"
