Recalls Aoki Because

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL
WASHINGTON. Dec. 2.-yiscount
Siuzo Aoki. ambassador extraordinary
and minister pienipotentiary from
Japan to the United States, has been
recalled. He called at the White
House and state department today and
notified the president and Secretary
Root.
Technically he has been sent for by
his government to make personal
report as to the feeling in this coun-
try on the exclusion question. Prac-
tically, he will not return to Wash
ington.
Ambassador Aoki gave notice of his
recall practically at the same time that
word was received here of the sailing
of the torpedo section of the fleet des-
tined for the Pacific. Many people may
Whether or not Japan connected them
remains to be seen.
He has been cautious, conservative
and friendly to a marked degree. and
there is every reason to assert that
his recall, for the purpose of making
a verbal report is caused by the fact
that his government thinks he has been
too temperate, too moderate, too con-
peaceable.
He has been here but little over a
year, having presented his credentials
May 8, 1906.
This recall Of the Japanese ambassa-
dor has not yet become public, and It
will not be given out officially until to-
morrow. 1t can hardly fail to excite
interest throughout The world. because
many people will be sure to interpret
1t as an act of hostility on the part Of
the Japanese government. Others may
be inclined to see in it a retort by
Japan to the action OF the president in
sending the fleet under Admiral Evans
around to our Pacific coast, which
cruise might possibly be taken as a
threat against Japan.
The one thing which can be stated
positively In this serious situation-be-
cause the situation is serious-is that
the United States loses a friend in the
departure of viscount Aoki. Since he
arrived here his course as a diplomat
has been marked by extraordinary tact.
wisdom and friendliness toward the
people to whom he was accredited. He
secured the confidence of the president
and the secretary of state almost inn
mediately after his arrival.
They recognized in him not only a
diplomat of re ability. but an ori-
entail with a. extraordinary capacity
to appreciate European and American
civilization a d its point of view. He
was in closer touch with the American
sentiment OF public questions than
most of the members of the diplomatic
corps.
He learned almost Immediately upon
| his arrival here that the friendship fol
Japan manifested by Americans during

| lasting. He was confronted almost al
once with the school question in Sar
