Through the issue OF letter from

State Root, commenting the decision
Of the Japanese government to post

10 1917, a diplomatic end is put 10 the
sensation created by the hurried visit
Of Baron Takahira, the Japanese am

day.
This Is as much of the truth as will
ever be publicly known about the af-
fair, though the fact remains, and Is
susceptible of proof that Baron Taxa.

direct command from his emperor ia
ask pointedly about the rumors OF an
American-Chine entente and the
bearing that the tactical approach OF
TIVE American fleets 10 the shores OF
Japan had on these rumors.
Private Assurances.
II Is understood, however, that, pri-
vately, the president assured Takahira
that the United States has nothing
but peaceful attentions with regard TO
the yellow giant OF the orient, that
there Is no significance in the pres
ence OF the second feet within strik-
ing distance OF Japan. and that there
is nothing In the present situation that
need in any way cause worry In the
Japanese foreign office.
