SUSPICIOUS OF
UNIMTES
TOKIO, May 9. —Some misgivings
as to the policy of the United States
as affecting Siberia recently have
found expression in the Japanese
house of representatives. Conviction
that Japan should pay close attention
to the activity of the United States in
Russian territory was expressed by
Manitsu Tanaka in a speech in the
house recently. This activity, he said,
might be designed to obtain rights
and interests of various kinds. Tana
ka said he believed that if America
attained its object a hard blow would
be dealt to the interests of the Japan
ese empire.
He thought that American sympa
thy for Russia was lar*gely due to her
ambition to implant her influence
there by utilizing the preseht oppor
tunity for investing her large capital
in an entenslve area of Russian ter
ritory, to exploit Russia’s vast nat
ural resources and to help forward
Russia’s civilization. To speak frank
ly, he believed that another object of
the United States in showing sympa
thy to Russia might be to check the
advance of Japanese influence north
wards.
The speaker also referred to a ru
mor that the United States was try
ing to purchase Kamchatka, which he
said he believed America coveted tor
its economic value and perhaps be
cause America had an idea of instit
uting a gigantic scheme of communi
cation between the three continents
of America, Asia and Europe. .
There is no confirmation, however,
of the rumor referred to by repre
sentative Tanaka.

FEW WOMEN WILL
QUALIFY AS VOTERS
LONDON, May 9. — The would-be
woman voter in England must sign a
form stating “I hereby declare that I
have attained the age of 30.” She
does not have to give her exact age.
To settle any age dispute, however,
the authorities may demand a birth
certificate.
Mr rams n
[JOINS IN MIKE
LYONS, France, May 9. — The
3rat piles have just been driven for
he foundation of the palace in which
he Lyons Fair will be held hereafter.
The building will cover thirty acres
of ground alongside the park of the
rete d'Or on the banks of the Rhone,
uid will accomodate 4,000 exhibitors.
The cost is estimated at 20,000,000
francs. This outlay is justified on
the ground that the gross receipts
from last year’s fair were 1,200,000
francs.
The remarkably increased interest
Of American firms in the enterprise
was the outstanding feature of the
last fair. They numbered 543 as
against 25 in 1916, and the United
States passed from sixth in impor
tance among* foreign exhibitors to the
fit st rank, with more than four times
as many exhibitors as any other for
eign country. The figures were:
American, 543; English, 130; Swiss,
114; Spanish, 33; Italian, 40; Dutch,
22.
Business approaching 500,000,000
francs was transacted. This exceeds
the business done at the Leipzig fair
in 1914 when the organizers announc
ed a total of 300,000.000 marks.
The Palais de la Foire as it will be
called will furnish office accomoda
tions to exhibitors as well as stands,
warehousing facilities, rail transpor
tation to doors of the palace and am
ple provision will be made for clear
ing exhibits through the customs at
offices on the grounds.
