TOKIO TO HAVE
FIRST SUBWAY
IN JAP NATION
TOKIO, July 19 (by Associated
Press).—Tokio is to have a subway,
the first in Japan, a charter for which
has just been granted. This is a part
of a big plan for improvement in
transportation facilities in Tokio and
Osaka which will involve the expendi
ture of many millions of dollars. The
decision of the authorities to under
take these improvements has followed
bitter complaints of poor service.
Owing to the increasing population
the street cars of Tokio are so over
crowded that it is a common sight to
see passengers hanging dangerously
from the platforms, while public taxi
cabs are insufficient to meet the de
mand. Tokio will spend $10,000,000 in
street improvement.
A bigger project is under way for
improving Osaka, which Japanese
often call the “Manchester of Japan”
because it is the chief center of the
country’s cotton industry. The pro
posed improvement of the streets
alone will cost about $75,000,000. A
new harbor is being built which will
cost about $30,000,000.
Fifty per cent of Osaka’s manufac
tured products are moved through the
canals of the city and more will be
dug. Fifty million dollars will be ex
pended in constructing a modern sew
age system.
Tokio and Osaka, like New York,
London and Paris, lack lodgings for
the people. It is quite impossible to
hire either a “foreign style” or Japa
nese home in Tokio. Hence the sub
urbs are constantly extending.
The city of Osaka covers an area
of 14 miles which is expected to be
trebled when the project of gre-ater
Osaka is carried out. The population
of 2,000,000 is increasing rapidly.
In Tokio and Osaka, as in New York,
house rents are going up constantly
and food is ever rising.
JAPAN TO EDUCATE
ITS CHILDREN IN
FOREIGN COUNTRIES
TOKIO, July 19 (by Associated
Press).—According to the Asahi, the
government has decided to defray the
equivalent of $15,000 out of the na
tional treasury as a subsidy to Jap
anese schools for the education of
Japanese children in China and some I
other foreign countries. Nothing is
said as to whether the subsidy in
cludes schools in American territory.

EXTINGUISH COLORADO
BLAZE WITH TWENTY
GALLONS FRESH MILK
GUNNISON, Colo., July 19 (by Asso
ciated Press).—Twenty gallons of
milk, worth 10 cents a quart, were
used to extinguish a blaze on the roof
of the dwelling on the Cornwall ranch !
i
near here. The blaze was discovered
just as the hands finished the milking.
A bucket brigade was being formed
to pass water from Ohio creek, which
flows nearby, but the milkers, fearing
that this method would be too slow,
threw the milk on the flames. What
little blaze was left after the milk at
tack was extinguished with water.

BE WELCOMED
BY CHINESE
SHANGHAI, July 19 (by Associated
Press).—Plans to extend an elaborate
welcome to a party of American con
gressmen coming to China the latter
part of this month are well under way
in Shanghai by order of the Peking
government. The view expressed in
j official quarters is that this visit of
the congressmen affords the first op
portunity for China to express its grat
itude to the United States for the
stand that was taken at Washington
upon the Shantung question.
According to massages received the
congressional party will number 136
and will arrive in Shanghai after a
stop in Hawaii.
Special trains are to be placed at
the disposal of’ the visitors through
Nanking, on to Peking and to Mukden,
where the members of the party will
become guests of the Japanese govern
ment and will be taken on an extended
sightseeing tour through Korea and
later through Japan. Everywhere,
banquets, receptions, excursions of
various kinds, presentations and other
affairs are being arranged.

AMERICAN-EUROPEAN
HOSPITAL WILL BE
ERECTED AT MANILA
MANILA, July 19 (by Associated
Press).—The American and European
population of Manila, deprived of hos
pital privleges on account of the con
gested conditions of those institutions
now in existence, have incorporated
the American-European Hospital As
sociation with a capital of $500,000
divided into 10,000 shares of $50 each.
It is proposed to erect a modern hos
pital with fifty private beds and two
wards of fifteen beds each wrhere
Americans and Europeans may at all
times be admitted for treatment.
POLAND TO ERECT
SCHOOL BUILDINGS
WARSAW, July 19 (by Associated
Press).—Poland is contemplating an
expenditure of 300,000,000 marks for
new school buildings and the improve
ment of her school system generally.
Before the war, under Russian rule, it
is estimated that only about one-sixth
of the children of Poland attended the
schools, where Russian was taught
exclusively. Since Poland became a
republic it is figured that the school
attendance has increased until at least
half the children are now attending
institutions of learning of some kind.
