WAR DEMONSTRATION IN TOXIC
Newspapers Oppose Demand to Send
Troops to Europe.

Observation-Disclosures are being
made in this city in favor of sending
a japanese expeditionary force to Eu-
rope. One reason assigned for the
manifestations is a desire to distract
the attention OF, those who oppose an
increase in the army.
Leading newspapers assert that 1t
is not clear that Japan's allies in
Europe wish the Japanese to take part
in the European war and that in the
part the empire already has played
the taking of Kioa-Chow, japan simply
was acting in accordance with the
terms of the Anglo-Japanese alliance
The papers say it is not consistent
to advocate the sending of half a mil
lion men to Europe at a time when an
effort is being made to increase the
army by two divisions.
