JAPAN'S "OPEN-DOOR" POLICY SATISFIES U.S. Viscount Ishii's Declaration Re garded as Evidence of Desire for Co-operation WASHINGTON, Oct. 1. Tho Japanese declaration for tho "open door" In China nnd for a far-eastern "Mon roe Doctrine" was regarded here today as new evidence of Jnpan's desiro to co-oper-ato with the United States. Stripped of tho suspicion which Viscount Ishll asked the United States to avoid, his statement was held stneero and satisfactory on Its face. Taken In the light of recent developments, however, It offered a possibility that Japan U.S. PLANS FORGENERAL DRIVE UPON SUSPECTS Will Move Vigorously Against Conspirators Disclosed in Seized I. W. W. Documents WASHINGTON, Oct. 1. Attornoy General Gregory today laid plans for a roundup of hundreds of con spirators whoso vicious activity against the Government was disclosed In the great mass of documents seized In the I. W. W. raids at Chicago. Thus far only those who have been closely Identified with tho 1. W. W. hnve been arrested and Jailed under the Indictments returned by the Grand Jury at Chicago. Many others not affiliated with that organization have been found to have engaged In various forms of sabotage, and Indictments will bo pressed against these individuals for seditious conspiracy In vari ous sections. Amazing revelations ns to the scope of the I. W. W.'s operations camo to light through papers taken In the talds. Assist ant Attorney General William C. FIttB, re turning from Chicago, laid these documents before tho Attorney General today and preparation wcro made to speed action against suspects who have aided tho I. W. W. In Its campaign of destruction through out the country. Wills Probated Today Wills probated today lncludo those of Emma II. Schwcnk, 2040 North Broad street, which.

Ishll, while Inviting commercial enterprise of other nations In China through tho ns sured "open door," avoided any reference to political Interest there by other than tho Japanese. This fact squares with n recent statement of Dr. T. Iyenaga, dlrctor of the EaBt and West News.Buroav, who, discuss ing the forthcoming Ishll commission, de clared that while It would bo "Impolitic" for Japan to close China's door, Japan would "resent an attempt at extending the political Influence of the United States in China." Ho emphasized that this attitude did not mean a. wish to curtail "privileges of com mercial and Industrial expansion" sought by the United States In China. Inasmuch as the United States has no alms of aggrandizement In China, tho IhIiII declaration can bo taken ns not creating nny difficult situation for this Government. Perhaps, Indeed, the declaration may be tho oujeome of an understanding reached be tween IshlPs mission and Secretary of State Lansing nt their recent conferences. Chlneso diplomats looked on tho Ishll declaration with caution. Somo bellecd Ishll was making a bid for further con cessions from tho United States In letting the United Stites know, that Japan wanted absolutely no outside political influence In China, though it would not object to com mercial enterprises. The Ishll announcement caused surprise be cause Ishll had so carefully avoided 'making any open statements while In Washington, and especially since the Japan conference had shown all signs of dodging interna tional questions until after tho war. nue, $4730.

In the old days the heels yere not saved for the grocer, the baker, the egg-dealer and butter-man were inconveniently scattered; and there was a good deal of compulsory "trotting about." THE AMERICAN STORES offer everything under one roof, and they're very "heel-stfving" for there's one, and oftentimes two, in your immediate neighborhood. They're "head-saving," top; for there's always less worry in dealing where. High Quality is assured at Reasonable Price a com bination that counts in practical economy. Careful housewives realize this. They appre ciate and take advantage of our protective service one small profit between producer and consumer. Our stores have an atmosphere of actualities; and thinking people save many a step and many a dollar. If YOU haven't had the experience, try it now. Go to your neighborhood store and see how invitingly attractive everything is ; examine the goods (with a keen eye on QUALITY), and note the prices. We're meeting the"supreme test daily. We perform our task well ; and our stores are very much "nearer" to you than you have any idea of. A Pound of OurVery Best Coffee? There'll be stirring events, Mrs. Housewife, when you take that home. Chronic drought tortured Egypt into discovering irrigation, and our "American Stores Blend" is a very timely, .discovery of AN UNUSUAL COFFEE quality and economy nicely blended. Two or three millions of poeple are drinking it and if you've been paying 30c or 35c for your coffee, youVe been paying too much. It's a sin to pour water into a sieve. OUR VERY BEST COFFEE is a high-grade blending, and offers the "good cheer" of a deliciously satisfying cup rich, smooth, fragrant. You're always sure of it being FRESH ROASTED, for our three large roasting plants are continuously at work meeting an enormous and growing demand. "American Stores Blend" is A WONDERFULLY GOOD COFFEE at a very insignificant price. Our Stores receive a neighborly welcome wherever located; and there's good, sound reasoning back of it all. They're HELPFUL. 2 lib American Stores Company EVERYWHERE IN PHILADELPHIA And Ceafwiently Located In Cities and Towns NO RISE IN MILK I'RICE, HERE, SAYS DAIRYMAN C. Henderson Supplec Declares Consumers Need Not Worry Over N. Y. Announcement 3&i u Consumers In thin city nctd liave no apprehension over tho announcement tho tho price of milk would ho raised this morn ing In New York from ono nnd one-half to two cents u quart, according to C. Hender eon Suppico, head of tho Buppleo Dairy. Mr. Supplco s.Mu ho can sco no excuse for rais ins tho price locally, for tho present, at least. Tho cause for tho rise In New York Is said to have been a victory of tho Dalry mens League of that State over tho dis tributes. In order to avert a threatened dairymen's strike, the dlstrobutors say, the prlco was rained and charged dlrept to the consumer. Mr. iiuppleo said: I do not think there Is any excuse for ratntnK the prlco of milk to the con sumers of Philadelphia at this time. I believe It Is a fact that a raise has been ordered In New York. Whether It was don with the sanction of the authorities nt 'Washington I cannot say Tho raise started In ChlcaRo, where the great de mand for mlllc by the condcnslnc firms for shipment to foreign countries sent the price up. Tho effect of this ralso was felt In the Kast nnd reflected In New York city, culminating In the Increase that will be asked today In that em it Is possible that the Binaller farmers here may become emboldened by the rlo In New York nnd demand more for thMr milk. If they do I do not think It Is Jus tifiable at this time. Pasture during the summer has been generally above the acrnRe. It Is still good, nnd as long ns It continues so there need be no eco nomical reason for an udvince. The milk users nro burdened sufllclently as It K Later on when the cows aro fed Inside tho price ot their feed may nftect tho price of corn drops, ns many expect It to prlco of corn drops ns many expect It to do, there should be no rise In milk It hns been a first-class year for green fodder of every description, and I am hopeful that tho dairies will be able to hold tho prlco of milk where It Is.
