JAPANESE AMBASSADOR AD-
VISED C0UNTRYMEN TO
MARRY AMERICANS.
Report Reaches london That He said
make Yourselves Worthy Of Amsrl-
can Women, but More Especially
Daughters Of MiIIIOnaries Then You
Are Bound to Get Assistance"

Not in recent years has England en-
1oyed such a sensation as has followed
the arrival In London from Japan OF
what purports to be an address deliver
ed In the city Of New York by Wis
count Aoki, the Japanese anbassa.
dor to the United States, to an exclu-
sively Japanese audience, in which he
advised his hearers to be sure and
marry American wives. make your-
selves worthy of American women . he
is alleged to have said, ''but more
especially of the daughters OF million
aires. This will mean that when your
fathers in law become aware Of your
merits they will assist you in every
way

csc government, which is anxious to
secure funds from its subjects to re-
duce the foreign debt Englishmen
generally characterize the utterance Of
the ambassador as "high handed i'm
pudence."
The advantages of such marriages
from a Japanese point OF view and
their disadvantages to Americans is
pointed out editorially in the Japa-
nese Times as follows:
1T is generally admitted by the Japa-
nese themselves that physically. they
are inferior to their American neigh
bors. On an average a Japanese adult
is about the size of a 16 year old
American boy. The offspring result
ing from such unions are cross, be-
ing neither so small as the Japanese
nor so large as the American mother.
That tho Japanese people desire to be
larger Is as apparent as their diminu-
tive size. Shortly after the decease OF
General Kodoma, one of his intimates
remarked that he was a fine locking
man, looking more Nike a foreigner
than Japanese. So when a Japanese
father sees his little son, by an Ameri-
can mother, a little above the aver
age, he has cause for rejoicing, but
when the American mother looks upon
her little boy, by a Japanese father,
and notices his yellow skin, short
stature and bowed legs, nothing but
the greatest Of parental love can cover
up such defects"

lock his arms while he was holding
a leveled Winchester at the head OF

ing institution, has married his conf
dental clerk, Miss Esther Mckay,
whom it is said the authorities at
Washington had relied upon as their
star witness in the proceedings to be
begun against Clements. The bankers
