Chicago, Dec. SO-The Daily News

Chicago, Dec. SO.-The Daily News

"A new saying Of Christ. lost to the
world for 1900 years and found in
Egypt, was given to the. world for the
first time today by Professor Henry A.
Sanders of the University of Michigan,
addressing the members of the archae-
illogical institute now in session at the
University of Chicago. The fragment
is part of an old Bible dating back to
the MOslem conquest of Egypt, and on
its face is so authentic as to disarm
hostile criticism
THE long lost fragment belongs in
the sixteenth chapter of the Gospel of
St Mark. and fellows the fourteenth
verse. 1t relates to the story of
death, to eleven of his apostles in Je-
rusalem.

ness and unbelief is under the power of
Satan, who does not permit the things

Christ. and Christ said to them:
e" The limit of the years of the pow

terrible things are at hand, and l was
delivered unto death on behalf of those

4 am confident that an amicable
agreement will be reached on this i'm
migration questionable only one Of
any consequence that is row agitating
the people of the two countries" said
Aoki. 4 am certain that Japan will
make every honorable concession with
in bounds, and I feel equally confident
that the American government win not
insist upon anything unrea sonable or
that will in any way compromise the
dignity or the honor 0f the japanese
government Both governments are
striving to reach an honorable solution
of the immigration question, and the
latest advices that we have received
from our government indicate that the
way is being gradually paved VIII that
end in view. AS I have said again and
again, there is every reason In the
world why both countries should have
the most complete understanding and
continue in most amicabIe relations.
Japan is anxious to be at peace with
the world. and to no country does this
apply with greater force than to the
United States, to whom in a large
measure is due Japan's great rise and
progress among the nations of the
world It will be my earnest effort to
advance and strengthen the existing
friendly relations in every way that
lies in nv mower"

Needs American Capital.

Ambassador Aoki impressed upon
his interviewer the utmost importance
of the United States and Japan keep
ing on the most friendly terms. and
that their relations should inspire con-
ndence one with the other. In no
sense. he said, was this more important
than from the commercial standpoint.
Japan needed American capital in the
development of the numerous enter
prlses which have come to the front
since the Chinese-Japanese var of the
last century. and more particularly of
the developments since the war with
Russia. American capital could fin,l
splendid opportunity IN Japan, and the
efforts OF all PEI sons of both countries,
the ambassador declared, should be
concentrated toward the ceuentine of
the greatest friendship without which
much that could otherwise be accom-
piished would be lost
