SAYS THE JAPANESE
REVERE UNITED STATES
Returned Missionary Tells of
Friendship of Island
Empire

Japan will never willingly enter
into a war with the United States. II
this country and Japan ever war, it
will be the United States that will de-
clare war and not Japan" said Rev.
John Hyde de Forest, for "a years a
missionary to Japan, last night. Rev. Mr..
de Forest is on his way to Japan, after
having been away from that country
on a visit to his home in Connecticut
for a little more than a year. The
missionary asserts that the people of
Japan are great admirers of the United
States. He said:
The Japanese look to America as
their teacher and revere her. 1t Is a
part of their religion never to quarrel
with their teachers. Thousands of
japanese have come to the United
States to study. They realize that this
country has made the greatest ad-
vancement of any of the nations of
the earth and they are trying to follow
in the footsteps of America. The peo-
pie of the United States do not under
stand the Japanese and the reason for
1t is very simple to explain. Probably
not half dozen Americans in the en-
tire United States can read and write
the Japanese language. I mean by
this men or women who can translate
the Japanese literature into the Eng
lish language. The United States never
had but one minister to the United
States who could speak the language,
let alone read and write 1t. The col
leges of the United States would do
well to provide scholarships for
students which would permit them to
spend from three to five years in Japan
and China in studying the language.

TIMBER RAzfD BY

Lumber Plants in Neighborhood
of Eureka Are Swept by
Fierce Flames

EUREKA. Sept. 23.-Fanned by heavy
south winds. forest fire broke out this
afternoon at camp No. 16 near Vance's.
It followed southeasterly course and
spread as far as Little river, where 1t
turned east into the heavy timber. 1t
is still burning with great fury at the
numbering plant of the Kellstrom COM
pany, which will be a total loss. The
estimated loss has been placed at $60,-
600. with no insurance.
The Kellstrom crew escaped to Trini-
dad, where they were given refuge by
the townspeople. Miss Kellstrom. who
was left behind in the hurry and given
up for lost, arrived at Trinidad this
evening, after a terrible journey on
foot through the timber. Kellstrom and
his wife escaped in an automobile.
which was all the property saved by
them Reaching the tracks at the Ham
mond logging road. the fire crossed and
rburned out several miles Of track and
many trestles. probably tying up traffic
for several weeks. Many people In
the neighborhood of Luffenholtz, who
have taken refuge at Trinidad are
thankful to escape with their lives,
leaving their property behind to be de-
stroyed. All the engines of the Ham
mond lumber company are at the scene
of the confagration, with the crews
combating the flames, which, forced
by SO mile an hour wind, are spread
ing through the timber very rapidly.
Later reports from the fire state
that the immense plant of the Little
River redwood lumber company is in
imminent danger of destruction.

MOROCCAN TERMS
WILL BE EXAMINED
Germany Objects to France Oc-
cupying Territory Until
Debts Are Liquidated
Countries, Under Algeciras Act,
Should Have Been Consulted
in Matter of Settlement

PARIS. Sept 2S.-A telegraph
resume of Germany's reply to the
Franco-Spanish note on Morocco
reached Paris today from Jules Cam
bon. the French ambassador to Berlin,
and already has been the subject Of a
conference between Foreign Minister
Pinchon and Premier Clemenceau.
The text of the reply is coming by a
special messenger and will not arrive
here until tomorrow.
Oficials are reticent with regard to
this telegram Nevertheless It has
been learned from a competent source
that the principal difficulty raised by
Germany concerns the question of the
reimbursement of France and Spain
for the expenses incurred by their
military occupation of Morocco.
While Germany does not deny that
France has a right to certain reim-
bursements in this regard, she takes
the position that France and Spain
acted under the Algeciras act and
therefore without a special mandate,
and that consequently all the powers
have right to know and examine
the terms of the settlement. In other
words, France has no right to COM
plete arrangements without consult
ing the signatories of the Algeciras
act and particularly she should not
exact special guarantees from Mulai
Hafid, such as, for instance, the occu-
patton of the territory until the debts
are liquidated. This is the crux of the
German objection and the point most
likely to lead to a sharp controversy.
While the form of Germany's reply Is
conciliatory, the substance leaves lit
tie doubt that Germany intends to in
sist that France shall not have free
hand in settling her accounts with
Morocco.
