Japan is to have a record number of American visitors this winter. C. E. Benjamin, general passenger agent of the Canadian Pacific Ocean Serv ices, who is now in Japan, states that his company has never before had so many advance bookings Hnd inquiries as this season. He predicts that the steamship lines of the Pa cific are sure to be carrying passen gers to the limit of their capacity for many months to come. The gen eral manager of the Toyo Klsen Kaisha makes the same- statement, and the Ear Eastern manager oT Thomas Cook & Son declares that the possibilities of tourist traffic in Japan and the whole of the Far East this fall are only limited by the transportation accommodation, i The war prosperity which Japanese business is enjoying is shown in the iJaiance sheets of sixty-eight compa nies for the past half year. These show a profit equivalent to 46 per cent, on the capital' and an increase of 18.8 per cent, on the profits of the past half year. The total capital of the companies is $2L7,500,0O0 and their profits $46.20r,000. The most prosperous were the shipping concerns, seven of which made profits in six months aggregat ing no les than (59 per cent, of their entire capital.

Budapest, Nov. 25. The Constanti nople correspondent of the Hungarian paper "Az Est" reports that the Tur kish government is making prepara-. tions for the creation of a great uni versity which is to be modelled en tirely after the German institutions to learning and will be under the di rection of German and Austrian edu cators. Professors from Berlin, Munich and Vienna have been called to the Turk ish capital and are now working out the plans. The university is to be a national Turkish institution, but at least during the first five or ten years most of the professors and instruc tors will be Germans, Austrians and Hunggarians. Part of the lecturers will be given in Turkish, and part in German, Jj- i t i ,,,11- ' 'f M . - ' 7- 4
