JAP INSURANCE COVERS RISK OF WAR WITH U. S. Delayed Cablegram of London Correspondent Tells of Fears. CHINA IN THE ISSUE
LONDON, Jon* 23—The Daily Express today printed the following cablegram from its Tokio correspondent: “Maritime insurance companies hare been asked for. and are granting rates to cover the risk of war between Japan and th* United States within the next twelve months. This concrete expression of fear is hanntlrg every port on the Pacific, from the shores of America to the Persian Gulf. The naval programs of both countries are interpreted as evidence that they are preparing for war. Japan has begun building sixteen 'Post Jutland' ships in answer to the eighteen on the American program. "The Navy Department has ordered a division of dreadnaughts and destroyers added to the Pacific Fleet. There is an analogy to pre-war preparations in the North Sea in the armaments race of Japan and America I have discussed the matter with many prominent Japanese getting the impression that the time is now ripe to lay all cards on the table. What is needed is a showdown. It should not be difficult to remove fears of Japan. Japan's dread of war is real enough to induce her to enter into a long time agreement. The fear of war would disappear if both countries would state frankly their aims toward China.” ' The foregoing dispatch was dated May 23. It was presumed that the extraordinary delay in transmission was caused by the Japanese censor.
COUNCIL HOLDS EXTRA SESSION Annexes Small Strip of Land on National Road.

SEVERAL YEARS TO CATCH UP WITH WORK. It will take several years, he said, for the public utilities to catch up with needed improvements, deferred because ot lack of capital and adequate rates during the war period. “I am impressed, however, with the fact that evidence of deferred maintenance is mnch less in the property of the local water company than is a good many water work,” he said. “This company has gone forward with its improvements far more than generally has been the case.” Water componies have been particularly hard hit by rising material costs during the uncertain period of and after the war. Cast iron pipe, whlcn was oougnt for $26 per ton before the war soared to from fBO to 390. It now has dropped back to around SSO, which greatly relieves this particular problem. “W* are looking for a still greater drop, but we never will get back to the fid basis, I believe,” the engineer said. HIGH TAXES PLAT A PART. High taxes all over th* country have played their part In preventing ntilities from catching up with back extension •nd repair work, as well as high material and labor costs. "These changed conditions growing out of higher prices, are being met in part by increased rates, and In part by changed methods of doing work,’* Mr. Metcalf stated. “For Instance the water companies are using trenching machines instead of men to dig ditches. Today they have to do it to get by.” Since Indiana has developed the steam heating utility to a greater extent than any. other part of the country there is not much change for comparison of the problems of these companies with those in other sections, according to .the export. The East, in particular, has not felt the difficulties which a number of Indiana cities are facing because their steam heating companies have found the business *o unprofitable that they have tried to

A somewhat similar linking up is going on along the Pacific coast In a way which will result in much good to both the corporations and the public.” ADVANTAGE IN COMBINING. He pointed out that the big advantages of the combining of power plants is the practically absolute insurance of uninterrupted service and cheaper delivery of current. France and other parts of the continent are making developments of the same type. “There is a very much better recognition from both the public, the utilities and the regulating bodies of the difficulties of the utility problem and a very general spirit of cooperation has been shown. The public. Itself, is much more lenient toward utilities and it Is recognising that it can not have good service, the kind of service which It want! and to which It is entitled, without reasonable compensation.” Mr. Metcalf Is expected to be in the city the remainder of the week.

MILWAUKEE, Wis , June 23.—Commercialized vice, removed from segregated districts of American cities, has appeared in other forms, according to Alien T. Burns, New York, president of the national conference for social work in session here. Serious doubt was expressed by Burns as to the actual good accomplished by the vice crusades and the resultant legislation. Burns pleaded for “chemists of social conditions to analyze modern society’s needs.” Too much attention is paid to form and administration by social workers. Burns said. The result is that "social work is still in the rule of thumb stage.” More than 4.000 delegates are attending the conference.
