COUNT OKUMA
WOULD RECALL
JAPS’ TROO
TOKIO, Aug. 16 (by Associated
Press)—Japan’s “indefinite handling
of the Siberian problem” is causing
suspicion among the powers, in the
opinion of Marquis Shigenobu Okuma,
one of the elder statesmen. Like
Clemenceau in France, when out of
office, Okuma has the reputation of
fearlessly criticising the men who are
running the government.
In an interview Okuma said the
reason for sending a Japanese army
to Siberia does not seem to be clear
ly understood by the majority of the
people. He added:
“The object of the Sino-Japanese
war and the Russo-Japanese war as
well as the war with Germany were
clearly understood by the nation, who
worked to obtain the ultimate goal
with full and unanimous accord. As
to the Siberian business the Japan
ese people are as much in the dark as
the troops who are fighting the bol
sheviks on the Siberian steppes.”
After remarking on the withdrawal j
of American troops from Siberia.
Okuma insisted that if Japan finds it
necessary to maintain her troops
there the whole situation should be
!
laid frankly before the powers. He j
went on: “What the government is
doing is not clear and is apt to create
the suspicion abroad that Japan is
keeping her troops in Siberia for ul
terior motives. Already blame is di
rected against us for the military
motives, alleged to be pursued by us ;
in the Russian Eastern provinces.
“It would be better,” he concluded,
“for Japan to withdraw completely
from Siberia. If, on the other hand,
Japan is asked by the powers to fit
out a punitive expedition against the
bolsheviks so that Eastern Siberia
may be cleared of these undesirable
elements the task should be under
taken in real earnest.”
SINN FEIN GAINING j
ground in Ireland!
DUBLIN, Aug. 16 (by Associated
Press).—Besides their resolutions
acknowledging allegiance to Dail Eir
rean and their sympathy with the
Easter Week rebellion, the new Irish
local councils are giving many evi
dences of an advanced Sinn Fein at
titude.
At Cavan they have decided to cut ]
off the water supply to the military
and police barracks. In north Tip
perary they have refused to accept
the services of policemen appointed
to act as inspectors under the Focd
and Drugs Act. At Longford they;
have refused to apply the vaccination
acts until they learn whether >r not
Dail Eirrean approves of vacinnation.
Everywhere they are refusing to make
income tax returns.
Many of the higher officials of the
new bodies are magistrates, and they !
are being ordered, and in most oases
obeying the order, to resign their com
missions as justices of the peace.

BRITISH PURCHASES
BRING BIG PROFITS
LONDON, Aug. *16 (by Associated
Press).—Lord Inverforth, formerly
surveyor general of supplies in the!
British war office, by world-wide pur-1
chases of raw material on behalf of
the government was able to turn into
the British treasury on March 31st,
last $25,000,000 representing profits on
all transactions since 1914, according
to his report recently made to the
ministry of munitions.
While the profits were large, Sir
Arthur Goldfinch, director general of
raw materials, points out that the eco
nomic benefits were far greater. The |
purchases were of wool, hides, leather,
Bax, hemp and similar materials.

QUENCH FIRE
AT SEA IN HOLD
OF TRANSPORT
HONOLULU, Aug. 16 (by Associat
ed Press).—For eight days and nights
Captain Eugene McCarthy and the
crew of the big United States army
transport Maric-a fought and finally
conquered a fire in the ship’s cargo
of munitions, while small arm ammuni
tion and sharpnel, grenades and bombs
burst in all directions, it was learned
here recently on the transport’s re
turn from Manila.
Smoke was seen first issuing from
one of the forward hatches at 10
o’clock at night during the ship’s last
voyage to the Philippines. The offi
cer of the watch sounded a general
fire alarm and water was turned on
immediately into the hold of the ship,
where 4,000 tons of ammunition of all
sizes was stored.
“Explosions from munitions in one
hatch were taking place every few
minutes,” said Captain McCarthy. “The
cargo there included sharpnel shells,
hand grenades, detonating fuses, big
bombs and small arm ammunition. My
men carried case after case of muni
tions likely to explode and threw them
overboard. The boxes were too hot to
handle with bare hands, so the men
wore gloves. Lieutenant Bowman,
transport quartermaster, was over
come by powder fumes and was corn
fined to his room for several days.
“On several occassions I had to man
euver the Marica before the wind to
keep the fire from spreading. On
the eighth night it got so bad we had
to leave the hold, batten down the
hatches and turn on the smothering
pipes. We flooded the hold with water
and two nights later the blaze.was ex
tinguished.”
Captain McCarthy said the explo
sives were loaded at Hoboken and
he declared it as his belief that spon
taneous combustion was the couse of
the fire.
