JAPANESE ASK AID
This COuntry's Good Offices for Nom
COmbatants Sought by
lanan

Washington, March l9.-Russia will be
asked by the United States to treat kindly
the Japanese non combatants who have
been lett in Siberia, and to enable them to
make their way back to Japan. Mr.. Ko'
goro Takahira, the japanese minister,
called at the State Department today and
informed the officials that he had received
reports that between forty and fifty Jap
anese non-coubatants were i'll a suffering
condition in several Siberian towns. The
minister requested the Washington gov
eminent 10 use its good offices to assist the
suffering japanese to reach Berlin, where
the Japanese minister will take them in
charge. The State Department acted
promptly, and a cablegram has been sent
to Mr.. Mccormick, the American ambas-
sador at st. Petersburg, inviting him to
call the attention of the Imperial govern
ment to the matter in the confident hope
that the Russian officials will take i'm
mediate etevs for the relief of the Jap
anese.
In an interview Mr.. Takahira said he
made his request because Of telegram re-
ceiyed from the Japanese minister at Ber'
lin, reporting that Two japanese subjects
who arrived at Berlin few days ago from
the interior of Siberia as delegates from a
large number If cfJapanese still living there,
reported 10 him that they were boycotted,
and not only had they found it impossible
to earn any livirg, but were in constant
danger of life and consequently were suf-
fering great privation. In some towns it
was said they were ordered by the police
authorities to leave the place at a mo-
ment's notice, without time to take their
effects with them. We have therefore de-
cided to have them sent to Japan.
lit is not unnatural that IN time of war
there exists between the people of the
belligerents degree of severity, but III my
opinion it is a notable feature of the pres
ent conflict that since its outbreak the
Russians have acted in an untoTard man.
ner with the non-combatan:s and pris'
oners Of our people"
The minister pointed out several in'
stances which he regarded as bearing out
his opinion, and contrasted them with the
treatment Of Russians in Japan, as to
which he said there had been no COM
plant. He concluded by expressing the
hope that the Russians would "show some
moderation" in their treatment of Jap
anese refugees.

After Many Years.

Last week Mrs. Maria Jones, of Mon
treal, Canada, arrived at TazeTell to visit
her sister, Mrs. George Buston. These
ladies we're born and raised in the north
ern part of England. About thirty years
ago they separated in that country, when
Mr.. and Mrs. Buston moved with their
family to the United States. Afterwards
Mrs. Jones and her husband, the latter
now deceased, came across the ocean and
took up their residence at Montreal.
Though both are residents of America,
Mrs. Jones and Mrs. Buston had not met
since they separated in England, thirty
year ago, until Mrs. Jones arrived at
Tazewell. 1t can we'll be imagined that
this meeting was joyous one indeed, and
that the ladies in question will have a
pleasant time talking over their girlhood
days and the many events that have oc-
Cured during the long period Of separa.
ton. Mrs. Jones will pay an extended
visit to her sister.

On last Thursday afternoon a very un
fortunate homicide occurred at MEG uirel
store, in Crockett's Cove, in this county
Mr.. Thomas l.. Sayers shot and KileC

who was about eighteen years old, had a
fight in the morning with son of Sayers
That evening Sayers went to Mcclure {
store and he and Crockett got into quar-
rel, when Sayets drew pistol and shot
Crockett.
We have been unable to get the partic
ulars of the affair and prefer not to under.
take to furnish them until they are related
in court, as we have no doubtlthey will be.
The affair is one that is greatly to be de-
plored. We have the deepest sympathy
for the relatives of the young man, aud
also for Mr.. Sayers who committed the
unfortunate deed. At this time be has
not given himself up for trial, but has
give assurances that he will do so.
