Japan Replies to Direct Cable From
Chicago Paper.


Chicago, Feb. GA dispatch to the
Tribune from Washington says:
In response to direct cable from
the editor Of the Chicago Tribune to
Marquis Saionji, minister OF foreign
affairs at Toxic, the Japanese govern
ment has instructed its embassy here,
also by cable, to convey to the Amer
lean people It's disavowal of all in
clination toward war with the United
States and it's belief that the differ
ences between the two countries are
and always have been susceptible OF
pacific treatment.
The imperial government OF japan,
which acted with similar frankness
toward Russia before the war, realiz-
ing that the cable from the Tribune
indicated that there was some belief
in the United States that there might
be a war over the California school
question, took prompt steps to assure
the people OF the United States that
the friendly feeling between the two
nations had never been disturbed In
the slightest degree.
