nished clue that resulted In the arrest
or boy burglars. who have operated in
Plainfield for six months. The prisoners
are James Sites, aged II: Arthur Van
Nest, 16. and Edward Seader, IS. all sons
or respectable parents. When first ar
rested they exhibited an air OF bravado.
but after spending a couple OF hours In
cells they confessed.
Van Nest. known as "Plainfield's worst
boy" was the leader. He told how they
had broken into and robbed grocery
stores, clothing shop, a pharmacy and
poolroom. All three are confirmed read
ers OF trashy literature and. when search
ed at the police station. from one to three
wild West novels were taken from

New York, July u.-Admiral Baron
Yamamoto, Japan's minister of the navy
during the Russian war. who arrived yes
tePday from England on the Cunard liner
Carmania, says that the present war talk
is absurd.
1--WE want peace" was his first words
to the reporters. I'VE can't forget that
America has shown our country friendly
feeling for many years. This cannot be
broken by a passing storm. The japanese
are not thinking as you are writing"
THE FLEET EFFECT.
The admiral wasn't stumped, either,
when asked by the newspaper men what
the effect would be In Japan of the United
States sending a large fleet to the Pacific
coast.
THAT question is entirely one of your
country" he replied. 1T is not for me
TO express my feelings"
II don't know why your government
Is sending such a large squadron to the
Pacific" spoke up Commander Kato of
the admirals party but from comments
aroused in this country and those We have
heard 1t would seem to be unusual But
then, after all, / suppose IL Is only for
training. However, we do not take ii as
a menace. We quite Understood that 1t
was an American affair. besides we take
things as they come. Our people are
greatly united to this country and re-
member YOU especially during our last
war"
'IT is RIDICULOUS"
Questioned regarding a published re-
port in the Hochi Shinbun of Toxic quot
ing Admiral Sakamoto to the effect that
American naval officers make good ball
room figures but lacked courage, Admiral
Yamamoto said:
1T is ridiculous. The admiral is a man
of too great standing and too much
dignity to voice such sentiment. Naval
etiquette would not tolerate such utter
ances. You may better believe he never
made the remarks attributed to him. The
newspaper that is said TO have published d
the report in japan Is not one of high
standing. II Is what you call here yellow.
II want TO impress upon the editors OF
the newspapers that they cannot be too
careful what they write. They must un-
derstand the conditions OF the two coun-
tries thoroughly before they write. There
are many sensational newspapers I'm Ja-
pan as we'll as America, and II is n pity
that they do not attempt to understand
conditions before they put them down
upon paper. America is n country which
long has had friendly relations with Ja-
pan. The treaty between the countries
was signed about the time that / was
born. In fact the friendly relations are
OF such long standing that think this
passing storm should be thrown into the
waters OF the Pacific ocean"

VACATION TRAVEL HAS
ALREADY COMMENCED
