U. S. Aid to Japanese
Likely to Assure Peace

That the United States was directly
and Immediately responsible for the ad-
iustment OF affairs following the Russo
Japanese war, which saved Japan from
being shorn Of its spells as it had been
after the war or 1894 with China and
that In consideration Of this act of es-
pecial favor. the japanese administra-
ton is determined under no conditions
10 be forced into a breach with the
United States, is the remarkable and
on the highest authority
Germany was determined TO prevent
Japan taking over the suzerainty Of
Korea, and Germany was ready to form
a Cabal Of powers to forbid Japan in
terfering with the Hermit kingdom: ex-
actly as Germany after the Chlna-Japan
war had led in compelling Japan to
evacute Port Arthur.
That was the condition confronting
japan VIXEN William II. Taft, proconsuI
and colonial administrator. oriental
specialist and adviser In chief to the
Washington Government, appeared in
Tokyo The premier OF Japan lost no
time in appealing for his cooperation.
There was a long conference. a detailed
consideration Of the circumstances. a
frank statement Of views. purposes. and
aspirations on both sides. a perfect
understanding that nothing IN japan 8
policy was calculated 10 clash with the
pretensions OF the United States as a
Pacific or as an Oriental power. In
Secretary Taft. indeed, the Japanese
government found a peculiarly sympa-
thetic listener. for ne was anxious 10
establish secure and stable administra-
lion In the Philippines. exactly as Japan
was asking for the privilege Of doing in
Korea.
The communication Of Taft resulted
IN the prompt conveyance 20 Japan Of
assurance that the United States would
support Japanese pretensions in the
matter Of Korea; and that ended all
possibility OF German opposition.
Among ia panese statesmen who know
these matters small fear is entertained
OF the ultimate purposes OF the United
States, and the sense OF obligation 10
this country together with the sssur-
ances given IN that connection, is re-
He'd upon TO assure peace.

Lutz Incident a Test.
c. L. Baker. attorney for John A.
Lutz. who was recently arrested and
fined for speeding. confirmed this morn
ing the report that II was the intention
of Washington automobiles 10 maize
the Lutz incident a test case. He
stated that Mr.. Lutz was backed by the
Automobile Association and autoists
generally.
I'VE have already been retained"

toists. who will sue for the return or
their fines. The future policy OF Wash

Douglas and A l.. l.. Leckie. Together
we represent number OF automoblHsts
who are tired OF the farcial methods
of the Glen Echo authorities. We would
not object 10 a speed law of twenty
miles an hour but the present reGuia-
tions and the manner in. which they
are enforced are farcial in the extreme.
Validity Of Charter.
IN addition 10 attacking the juris-
diction of Glen Echo over the Conduit
road, in line with the Attorney Gener-
ais decision. which has been our con-
tention all along, we intend to attack
the validity of the charter itself. II
has come TO US that the charter of the
town was obtained in very suspicious
manner, to say the least. AS $50 appli-
cants are required for the granting Of
a Maryland charter and the town OF
Glen Echo has a population OF only $50
TO l15 at best. ii becomes a serious ques-
ton as to what method was used 10
make up this deficiency"
The case of NJ \. Winter. referred
10 by Mayor Garre.t in an Interview,
is not Analogous 10 the Lutz case.
Winter asked an injunction against
Glen Echo authorities. which was de-
MED on the g. ound that injunction by

first be sought through the State

We are satisfied upon the hearing
OF the LutZ case" concluded Mr..
Baker, that the courts will sustain
the opinion Of the Attorney General,
