testing against the peace terms. subse-
quently the offices Of the government
journal, the Kohumin, were attacked
and damaged Other acts OF violence
were committed. Several persons were
injured and number Of arrests were

The disturbance was an isolated case,
and is not regarded seriously.

to prevent by closing the gates Of the
park But the municipal authorities
portested and the gates were reopened
and the crowd gathered at the appointed
place.
The meeting passed resolutions that
the nation had been Inundated bv the
terms Of peace The demeanor Of the
crowd was serious rather than angry.
The police acted discreetly and no dis
order occurred. Later the police broke
up part OF the crowd.
1t was thought that the trouble was
over, when a sudden rush was made on
the buildings Of the Kohunin. stones
were hurled and some damage was done
10 the machinery in the buildings. Sew
eral persons were injured The police
prevented a subsequent attempt to hold
a meeting in the Shintoni theater.
London, Sept. IA news agency de-
spatch from Toxic says that Tuesday
meetings, at which the terms Of peace
were denounced were held at Osaga and
Nagoya. But, notwithstanding these
demonstrations, it seems tolerably clear
that the majority Of the population will
accept the treaty, however disappoint-
ing to their hopes it may be.
