verted to Japan. The second and most important result is that the American authorities and others in- terested know extremely little about the Japanese activities in these areas.
 CREATED POWERFUL DEFENSE
 For all American officers know, the Japanese have created the most powerful sort of defensive works and naval facilities in the islands. They may have been as neglectful as we have been of our own, but the tendency has been to develop their every resource So that, even though the Japanese have stopped all work of military character, as they have done, in accordance with the arms agreements, there is con- siderable speculation as to just where they left off.
 It was pointed out by a shrewd observer recently that no interna- tional commission was suggested which might keep tabs on all work done by every nation concerned, and which might serve as an impar- tial umpire in the observance of the treaty provisions, So far every phase of the negotiations has been on the basis of gentlemens agreements which apparently are being scrupu- lously observed.

WASHINGTON, April 7.-The ex- act status quo" of the Japanese mandated islands of the Pacific is the post-conference" mystery of Washington.
 These islands are the Pescadores, the Amami-o- -Shima group and the Boninus, in the far Pacific. They are in a particularly strategic position, relative to American possessions and lines of communication.
 Japan is known to have been for tifying these islands up to the time of the Washington conference. She has just ordered all such work stop ped.
 But the question that is worry ing American army and navy people is: Just where did they stop?
 These. possessions are in what the Japanese term the prohibited mili- tary zone" Originally given to Ja- pan merely as mandate territories, to be developed flor the best inter- ests of the people and the territo- ries," they have been completely shut off from the rest of the world outside of Japan. Traders and other visitors from tse outside" except Japanese ,are absolutely barred. The result is, first, that the former flourishing trade developed with out side areas has been completely di-

FAMINE KILLS FASTER
 THAN GRAVE DIGGERS
Bread Is Scarcer and
 Dainties Are More Plentiful.

MOSCOW, April 7.-Moscow has become more than ever a city of con- trasts. Black bread, the staple food, grows dearer and scarcer every day but chocolate creams, sweet pastries, silk stockings and Paris gowns be- come more plentiful though high priced. The famine grips tighter and kills faster than grave dggers can work but many Muscovites are eating more, drinking more and wear ing better clothes than for years past and are burning all the wood they can buy.
 Many others struggling on con- partively low wages or no income at all against increasing prices and fluctuating currency, are huddled i'll heatless rooms with little to eat
 A considerable quantity of cotton goods from sc .le of the Russian fac tories has appeared in the co-opera- tive shops and the market stalls and there is a very limited showing of woolen stuffs but it is easier to find silk than gingham, satin than serge and lace than wOrsteds.

No SUMMER THAT YEAR
SNOW FELL EVERY MONTH IN 1916
Persisted IN DRIFTS.

In 1916 there was no summer in the
United States. Snow fell every month
of the year. Since that time 1916 has
been generally called poverty year"
because practically all crops were to-
tai failures. Others have called it
eighteen hundred and froze to death"
Still others have referred to it as
"mackerel year" because so little pork
was available that the people lived
on fish.
The Weather Bureau says that snow
fell on the seventh of June sufficient
to cover the ground at Newton, Mass.
and at HOpkinton, y. H., it was four
inches deep. At Salem. Mass, on Sat
urday. June s, there was Il slight fall
of snow. but it was not deem enough
to make good sleighing. Along the
northern portion of Massachusetts.
large icicles were pendent, and the
foliage of the forest trees was blast
ed by the frosts. In Williamstown,
Mass, the snow was twelve inches
deep on June s, and in Cabot, eighteen
inches.
Many people persisted. in the snow
drifts, birds flew into houses for shell
ter, and great numbers of them were
found dead in the fields.
