EMPEROR SUMMONS ELDER STATESMEN
HEROIC SACRIFICE TO SAVE PREMIER
Tokyo, March 2.
The Emperor has summoned his Elder Statesmen, together with Prince Salonji, to advise him in the choice of a successor. for the resigning Prime Minister, Admiral Okada, whose re- markable escape from death at the hands of the rebels has thrilled the world. Successors must also be found for the murdered Finance Minister, Mr. Takahashi, and such other officials as have been assassinated or who have resigned as n result of the Army revolt.
The Emperor's action in summoning his Elder Statesmen, together with the suicide of the rebel leader and the Imprison- ment of other mutinous officers, whilo non-commissioned officers and mon are confined to cells in their barracks, is interpreted in some quarters as a sign that the Liberals are regaining the upper hand.-Reuter.
HEROIC SACRIFICE
Shanghai, March 2.
The North China Daily News to-day publishes a despatch from Tokyo telling of the herole fashion of Colonel "Matsui's death at the hands of the revolting army officers.
Colonel Matsul was the brother-in- law of the Prime Minister, Admiral Okada, Seeing that the rebels mis- took him for the Prime Minister, ho allowed himself to be shot to death without disclosing his identity. Thus he saved the life of his brother-in-law. Meanwhile, servants had varned Admiral Okada of what was kappen- ing and concealed him in a largo aleel chest,.

When his relatives, not knowing WILL SIGN NAVAL the truth, asked the rebels-for-per- mission to remove the body of the Prime Minister, they were shocked to discover the mutineers' tragic blunder; but a blunder which saved the Premier's life. They reallach what had happened, but said nothing.
The family eventually discoverd Ad- miral Okada's hiding place and placed him in the coin they had brought to recolve his dead body. Since it! was also neccesary to remove the bedy, of Colonel Matsui, it was carried in the same coffin. with the man miraculously still living-Reuter.

WORLD'S WEALTH UNUSED TO RELIEVE POVERTY
Leipzig, March 1.
A fervent appeal for the redistribution of the world's raw materials was made by Herr Josef Goebbels, Minister of Propaganda and National Enlightenment, at the opening of the German Trade Fair here to-day.
He said that while some nations werd being literally suffocated by unused wealth, others perished in poverty.
"It is time the world realised its madness," declared Herr Goebbels. "Its economic methods are everywhere causing anarchy to raise its head."
The Minister added that the problem of unequal dis- tribution of raw materials would not necessarily be so great If a sane exchange of these necessities were not impeded by capitalistic blindness, political spito and the instability of exchanges. Reuter,
