KNOCKS VISIT IS SIGNIFICANT

Expected to Cause Friendlier Feel.
Ing Between OrientaIs and
Americans.

Washington. ID. c. - The highest
diplomatic Significance Is attached to
the announcement made by President
Taft at the White House that Secre-
tary OF State Knox will go to Japan as
the representative of the president at
the funeral ceremonies of the late EN-
peror Mutsuhite. In his announce
ment here President Taft indicated
that he regards the forthcoming Knox
mission on a level Of importance with
the famous visit of Commodore Perry
to japan more than half a century
ago, which resulted in the opening OF
Japan to Intercourse with nations OF
the western world and influx of west
ern civilization.
Secretary Knox, accompanied by
Mrs. Knox will leave Washington and
proceed to Seattle and there board an
armored cruiser of the United States
navy which will convey him to Japan.
Ransford 8. Miller. chief of the divi.
sion OF far eastern affairs of the state

the mission. Mr.. Miller has lived
L,

the state department expert on affairs
OF the far east. An admiral of the
navy and general Of the army. neither
OF whom has yet been selected. will
accompany the secretary as aides.
Among other things, II is hoped that
Mr. Knox's visit will tend to remove
whatever sting Japan has found In the
Magdalena Bay incident and its re-
sultant Lodge RESOLUTION" and in the
recent agitation in this country over
the manner in which Japan has con.

Christians, accused of conspiracy.
Both of these incidents, especially the
latter. were the source of irritation
and embarrassment at the state de-
Observation-Disclosures because they
were regarded as unnecessary and
unpleasant insinuation against Japan.
II Ia well known that the Japanese
as a people are peculiarly responsive
to attention and recognition from the
western nations. Those acquainted
with the Japanese predict that the
presidents act in sending Mr.. Knox
as special envoy will awaken the
warmest feelings Of gratitude among
the Japanese. The Knox mission
should take its place. 1t is predicted.
as one Of the most notable acts of in.
ternational friendship ever performed
by an American president and which
will find great appreciation In Japan.

SEWER WORK PROGRESSING WELL;
NEW DITCHING MACHINE is HERE
Two DitChlDg Machines Are
SOuthSidG Extension
On East AmpriCuS Sewers

With the purpose of finishing the
sewer extension work by April 1, the
time when the contract is scheduled
to be completed, new ditching ma
chine has been added to the equipment
that has been in use here since the
work was begun last summer.
The new machine has just been re-
ceived and is being employed in the
ditching work now being done in East
Americus. The addition of this new
machine to the equipment already IN
use will have the effect of practically
doubling the capacity of the sewer
contractors in rushing their work to
completion by April l, a little more
than a month distant
The new contractors have taken up
with energy and determination the
n
the former lessee. The progress made
recently on the work leads to the be-
lief that the contract may likely be
finished by April l, though it is prob
able that it will require some addi-
tional time. The city officials will
likely not insist so much on having
thes work completed within the tim4
stipulated as they will under the coa-
ditions stipulated.
The work on the extension of sewers
in the Southern part of the city 5
practically completed now. With this
part of the work finished, the sewer
forces may center their efforts on the
work that is still to be done in East
Americus and Brooklyn Heights, which
will bring the entire work to comple
ton as called for in the contract. r.

material have been received for the
