The japanese officers who recently visited
Germany with Admiral YamamOto and those
attached to the Hague delegation to the peace
conference, who spent some weeks in Germany
placed no orders with the German ammunition

any, as far as can be learned. They placed
an order for some 12-inch naval guns with

with Conditions in Frisco Schools

San Francisco July 3.-The Japanese Association
of America has issued the following statement:
Five Of the principal chambers Of commerce in
Japan recently addressed communication to
chambers Of commerce in America setting forth
the grievances Of Japanese residents in San Fran

NAL Of the right Of education
The Jauanese Association OF America which has
IFS headouarters in San Francisco, believes that in
Justice TO the people of California and the whole
country, this erroneous statement should be cor
rected and false impressions removed. Japanese
children in San Francisco not now denied the
right Of education On the other hand, there are
as many Japanese scholars in the public schools
there were before the earthquake and fire Of April
18 1906 and they receiving the same treatment
and the same advantages that are given to the pu-
pills Of other nationalies and are admitted to the
same schools.
