MILITARY OF JAPAN TO

TOKIO. July 10— An indication o '
the tendency of the military influence
in Japan to work more closely in hu;-#
monv with the civic elements in the
Japanese government is seen in the re

Havashi* former Minister to Italy and
China* as Governor General of the
Kwantung District in Southern Man- j
ehuria. Hitherto the governors have
always been military officers.
It is considered probable here that
the Hara cabinet will seize the first
opportunity of also appointing a civil
governor for Korea and inaugurate an
important reform in the gendarmario
system, if not its abolishment alto
