ed that in the midst Of all his pre-
occupations and anxieties of the
past six years, the late Michael Col.
Inns found time to keep up his one
great interest outside the establish

This was the breeding Of his be
loved kerry Blues type of dog
that has become very popular in the
past year or two. Even when on
the run and later during his bitter
fight with de Valera. Collins is said

attend to his hobby.

Bank Of Japan Loan
Bonds Show increase

TOXIC, Oct. 26.--Considerable sur
prise has been Occasioned owing to
the remarkable increase during the
last few months in the amount Of
loan bonds held by the Bank Of
Japan, which is now put at more
than 300.000000 yen. The vice pres-
dent of the bank in explanation Of
the situation, has published state
ment in which he says:
Although there are people who
allege that the Bank of Japan has
been burdaned with large amount
of loan bonds thereby causing an in
flation OF currency, this is not eX-
actly the case since the increase of
loan bonds. in the possession of the
bank is more due to that of foreign
bonds than of domestic bonds.
THE increase in the amount of
! foreign bonds is due to the fact that
prior to 1920 the foreign bonds pos
sessed by the bank abroad were in
cluded in the amount of specie held
! abroad but since that time the bonds
have been separated from the specie
account and placed in the bond ac-
count. This, however. has not
tcaused an .c .cc--.c. of currency in
any way"
