Are Willy JAPS
CREEPING IN?
War Department Deeply Concerned
Over Report That Canal Zone
is Being colonized by
Japanese.
IT WILL INVESTIGATE
Secretary Dickinson Will Investigate
the Matter on His Present
Trip and See if Saying
is Being Done.

WASHINGTON. April 26.-It was
learned today that one of the chief
subjects to be investigated by Secre-
tary Dickinson during the present trip
to Panama, is report reaching the
war department that the canal zone is
being colonized by Japanese. Colum-
bia is to be responsible for bringing
the Japenese to the zone. American
officials will be directed to make
representations to the Columbian gov
ernment that the United States re-
CARDS this as an act of unfriendliness.
Because of the delicate nature of the
case no representations have been
made to Japan, though the govern
ment is collecting all information
available. 1t is feared the japanese
are in the zone making observations of
the construction of the work so that
Japan will be in position to ruin the
canal in case of war The war depart
ment is concerned over the affair and
a proposition is on foot to determine
the exact number of Japanese on the
zone. and see if spying is being done.

Americans of Constantinople are in
no particular danger, nor have they

stray bullets under such conditions

have placed guards about the embas-
sizes, and throughout the foreign quar-
ter, and as result there has not been
the disorders that might be expected.
NO Americans have been hurt SO far
as have learned during the long con-
tinual fighting, with the exception of
Frederick Moore, the New York Sun s
correspondent. He is reported as do
ing as well as could be expected
There seems to be no cause for alarm
as the forces now in control of the
city are pledged that all property
VIII be respected and forces are
placed in such control that the ,rders
OF the officers will be obeyed.
