A SERIOUS PROBLEM

Toklo, May 2g. The Asahl
quotes an unnamed high official of
the flnnnclal Department as paying
that the national debt Including th
bonds payable for the railways re
cently nationalized, Is expected to
total within a few years 2,700,000,
000 yen ($1,300,000,000). Japan
never before had to face lo serious a
problem.
'Tho condition," said tho official,
"Is much akin to Italy's In the par
ly ntnetlec when Italy was
obliged to reslrt to the Iswue of
Inconvertible notec to meet the exi
gencies due to nor Inability to float
loans, and the wisdom of that plan
vis demonstrated "
This expression, emanating from
the Finance Department, la regarded
as an Indication that tho Japanese
authorities pre considering a similar
course. Baron Takahasbl vice rjv
ernor of the Rank of Japan, In a pub
lished Interview, places the recpon
slhlllty of the failure to float the ad
ditional loan of 4 0.UOO.000 yen for
too South Manchurlnn Hallroad at
tho door of the Britishers Interest
ed In the Ilalnmlntun-Fakunien Rail
road, which Japan torbdo. These
Influences are powerful In the Lon
don flnnnclal world and Baron Taka
kasbi declares they are placing ev
ery obstacle In the way of the loan
so essential to the further develop
ment of Japan's r.-.llway.
A Pekln report that Japan Is will
ing to recede from her prohibitive
position Is denied at the Foreign Of
fice It Is asserted that the British
Rov.-rnment approves Japan's atti
t,!do. ft true, this la another chap
U In the long story of Downing
trett'b clash with the British com
mercial In rests in the Orient.
Japan's first important official Btep
toward placating the boycotters la
the removal of Mr. Ueno, Consul at
Canton. Ueno's refusal to subm I
the Tats a Mam controversy to
Joint Investigation, as provided by
the cuBtoms law was approved by
the Toklo government, but he Is now
sacrificed In the hope that the Can
tonese construing remova as a vic
tory for .htra wilt permit the boy
rot t to die.
Hurled City in California.
Berkley, Cal., May 28. Burled
a few feet under the soil of the Uni
versity of California campus lies a
city of the Etone age, whose mas
slvo walls respond to the Instru
ments of tho members of the Berke
ley Society for Psychical Research
tod show their well defined loca
tions according to tho Investigation
mado by Prof. Joseph Verll, Presi
dent of the local Psychical Society
and other members.. The Investiga
tions to find the lines of the buried
city, which antedates by thousands
of years tho time of Columbus, have
l?en carried on, It Is said, quietly for
tho last few months since the soci
ety took up this Important branch
of their studies. None of the pro
fessors of the university has as yet
thoroughly Investigated tho finds of
tho society,, but It Is likely that If
their discoveries are found to have
t foundation, excavation work will
be begun at once along scientific
Hues.

Women Who Wear Well.
It Is astonishing how urcat a change a
low yrars of married Mo often make In
the appearance and disposition of many
women. Tho freshness, tho charm, the
brilliance vanish lik tho bloom from a
peach which Is rudely handled. Tim
matron Is only a dim shadow, a fnlnt echo
of tho charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this cIiiuiro, Ignorance and
neglect. Fow young women appreciate
tho shock to tho system through tho
cliango which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Mnny neglect to deal with
tho unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
nesses which too often como with mar
riage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain Is robbing tho chock
of Its freshness and tho form of Its
fairness.

Fancy Work of Irish Women.

largely to fancy work In the way of
lace handkerchiefs, crocheting, knit
ting and other home work, selling
their products to tho many societies

ganized to dispose of these native
Irish products In England and the

$500 worth In a single hour while
the ship rides at anchor.
