Tokyo.—Troops have boen called out In nenrly every Important city In Ja¬ pan to copewlth food (rice) riots, tho flrst of the kln<l since the country waa opened to civilizalion. Kven tho naval station nt Malzuru Is nffected hy tho unrest.
Tho riots nre siireading like; wild¬ fire, nnd the mobs are using dynnmlte nnd setting fires. So serious Is the situntlon that the newspapers are for¬ bidden to publish nnythlng about the disorders.
In Tokyo the police nro using swords freely. In outlying districts the people nttacked the police with bamboo spears.
Not only are the poor resorting to violence, but the ndddle classes feel Impelled to thus protest against con¬ ditions.
Disorders broke out In Tokyo. A gathering of R.OOO people which was prevented from congregating In the pnrk ninrche(l to the Qlnza, tho great retail thoroiighfaro, where they stoned and dntnagod 200 stores and restau¬ rants, raided rice depots nnd unsuc¬ cessfully attacked the ministry of the Interior. Ninety arrests wore mnde and 20 policemen were lnjure<l. At night tho city wns occupied by heavy detachments of police nnil Infnntry.
Mobs nttncklng and damaging prop¬ erty In Iho business nnd thentor dis¬ tricts of Tokyo entered nnd pillaged houses In Asakusa, the groat recrea¬ tion resort of tho middle and lower classes. A number of the disturbers wore wounded by tho police swords.
At Nngoyn, noted for Its mnnufac- tures of porcelain, n mob of ,^0,000 per¬ sons rioted. .\t several places the sol¬ diers fired on the disturbers.
At Kobe tho soldiers nnd police also were ol)llge<l to use sabers and bayo¬ nets agninst the rioters.
At Osaka telegraph wires were cut, and severnl stroet railways were forc¬ ed to suspend service after several passengers had heen wounded. Troops, incluiling cavalry, were called out. Twenty-five policemen and many riot¬ ers vrere hurl. Five hundred persons were arrested.
At Kobe a great rice warehouse, several factories and houses and a large number of rice depots were burned.
The seriousness of the situation led to a special meeting of the cabinet, which decided to appropriate $.'i,0<X),- 000 to purchase rice for distribution at a moderate i>rlce.
It may he of interest to the read- j era of lho Nazaroth Item to hear '- something of tlu^ work that has been ] going on at Nazaretli Hall .Military | Academy during the Summer. !
First of all, attention was given to the selection of a teaching force for the  coming  torm.     Iiy     tho    ond of June most ot the rai.'mhers    of    the! Faculty were secured, and during the early part of July a conference of all j of   these   mado   pndimlnary   arange- i ments for tho work of tho year, eacii teacher  having  distinct  charge  of a ' particular   suhje<;t..     It   is   unquesiti- onablo  that  tho  school  will   have  a .strong   forco     of     instructors     withj which  to  tako up  tho  clas:4  work  in ] I September.     Tho    military     instruc- I tion will bo in charge of a young man i j who is a graduate of Culver, and at I present an  instructor  iu  Fort  Shori- ' • dan,  111.

.Miller stepped from the way of iht- Dodge and walked directly in front oi the Ford as he was blinded by the headlights.

With tbe American Anni In France. —The Germans launelied a coiiililiied ga.s, nrtlllery nnd air bombing attack upon the French and Americans along the Vesle early Friday morning. Thia was In retaliation for a bombing raid by American airmen upon bridges over the Alsne late T lursday.
The German artillery continued shelling the crossroads south of the Vesle for hours, on the assumption that the French and Americans were bringing, up troops. German aviators bombed the woods and villages south of the Vesle, apparently working In relays.
A group of 12 Amerlcnn aviators participated in the raid on the Alsne bridges. Early Friday other American fliers went up nnd took pliotogrnphs for the purpose of nscertalning the effects of the Iiombs dropped. A great deal of trnfflc had heen reiiorted pass¬ ing over the Alsne bridges, nnd the French nnd Americans Incrensed the flre of their henvy guns In nn attempt to destroy as many liridges as possible.
As n result fif the rejiorts of observ¬ ers the French and .Americans laid down n box barrage during Thursday night on machine gun nests along the hills to tho northwest of Fismes. Ob¬ servers nnd patrols reported Friday morning that 12 machine guns had bei'n ilestroyed and every German gun¬ ner killed.
Amerlcnn aviators successfully bom¬ barded the raliroad yard at Dommary- Baroncourt, In the Verdun-Metz area. Longuyon, north of Verdun, nnd Thlaucourt we:- •• ked Wednes¬ day. Several b ..bserved in the cenlral and -•> ..nirn parts of the j-nrd nt Doiiiinai j-Bnroncourt, and the Installations tlu r ' " 1 to have been wijied out.
Three direct hi'.'* were iiiade on the trnck in front of the station at Lon¬ guyon, and 2.3 bombs fell on surround¬ ing warehouses. Certain military ob¬ jectives were bombed at Thlaucourt.
An American bonibing squadron coniriianded by Lieutenant Gundelach dropped 2i) bombs on the railway yards at <'i.nilans. Eighteen direct hits were observed in the center of the tracks In the east pfirtlon of the yard and two on the roundhouse.
Ihe squadron was pursued by 11 my planes, six of which were iiiie.dily left behind. One of the re¬ maining flve wns hit by the American machine gun flre nnd forced to descend near Joinville. Lieutenant Gundelach wns slightly wounded.
The Alsne lirld;:es bombed by the Amerlcnns were lo. ated between Pont Arcy and Gernlcourt. a distance of about 12 miles.
Three Italinns who escaped from the Germans and reached the Amerlcnn line said they snw enormous shipments of household material and similar ar¬ ticles and expressed 'he belief that the Germans had bnnigbt them forward from south of the \esle during the re¬ treat.
