TO HER ALLIES
TOlvlO.—(Special)—One of the
most striking phenomena that the
war has created as regards Japan Is
her quick shifting from a debtor to
a creditor nation. Since the Russo
Japanese War the world has got ac
customed to thinking of the Japanese:
Empire as a borrowing country. Now
(he tables are turned and Great Brit
ain which loaned so much money to]
Japan in the past has actually come
here for a loan.
The recent flotation in Japan of a
British loan for 100,000,000 yen or
$.">0,000,000 was a great success. A
few days after the lists were opened
to the public the syndicate which had]
the issue in charge advertised that no
more subscriptions would he received.
The incident showed that there 1*
plenty of available capital in Japan.
The success of the British loan is to
be attributed not only to Japanese
confidence in British resources but
also to the preference by the Japanese
public for short term loans. The
English bonds are redeemable in
three years.
It is pointed out here that the fin
ancial assistance just rendered to
Great Britain is only a part of what
has been done for the Entente Allies
since the outbreak of the war. It is,
calculated that Japanese investments
in bonds and treasury notes issued by
the Entente since the beginning of
hostilities total about 515,000,0000.

was received in the last mail from Ju

The launch Chichagof! arrived here
on Jan. 15th from the mine bringing
the dead bodies of H. W. R. Holmes

asphyxiated from gas aboard the ship
while it was enroute to Chichagof! on
Sunday morning.
The men were returning to the
mine to resume work.
When the launch was about to head
out in the open after passing Cross
Sound, a man was dispatched to the
forward quarters to call the six men,
bunking therein, to come to breakfast; |
it was then discovered that all of the
