FOREIGN RECRUITS NOT WANTED.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-So MANY
Americans have applied to the JaDan.
csc Legation for employment in the
service of Japan during the present
war that in order to answer such ap-
pllcatiOns promptly the Minister has
been obliged to have recourse to a
printed circular, whichreads as follows:
THE Legation is in receipt of numer-
GUS Inquiries whether the Japanese
Government intends to employ foreign
subjects OF citizens in n capacity
during the present war with China,
either IN active military service or as
surgeons, or In any other employments,
directly or indirectly connected with
the war. While a~ppreciating the
friendly sentiments which have caused
so many persons to seek to enter the
service of Japan at this important
crisis, l regret that l can only return q
negative reply to such inquiries. The
various lines of service to which they
refer have been for years parts of an
organized system in successful opera
ton, and consequently at this iuncture
h Japanese Government does not feel
under the necessity of employing any
persons in addition to those who have
been trained to perform the duties of
such service"
