may prove to be in this awful war it
will in nowise affect the friendly rcla-
tons that exist between the United
States and our government and people.
AT the present moment the relations
of our two countries are steadily grow
ing better and friendlier, and there is
no Japanese citizen worthy of the
name who does not hope and believe
that this friendship is going to grow
stronger with the years. That friend
ship will continue regardless of what
happens In Europe. This is the opinion
Of the entire citizenship of my country.
Il don't know who Is responsible for
bringing American-Japanese relations
into this affair, but 1 am of the opinion
that 1t is press agent work. the reasons
for which are apparent"
The course that Japan will follow in
the great struggle is causing a great
deal of anxious thought among German
officials and other subjects of the
Kaiser in New York. Heinrich Charles
of the German-American Chamber Of
Commerce, said yesterday that so far
chamber had been able to ascertain.
Japan had absolutely no cause or rea-
son to permit herself TO be drawn into
the war. Mr.. Charles said he was of
the opinion that the attitude of Japan
in the crisis was being fostered by Eng
land. Japan's ally.
England" he said. seems to be
stirring up the yellow races against US.
just as she has already done in the case
of the Slavic races"

When the Kuppenheimer factory de-
cided to close out all summer gar

he sold them at a fair profit. but the
price was still lower than is ordina rily
charged. That first shipment simply
melted away before the onslaught OF

PEACE TO BRING HIGH
TIDE OF IMMIGRATION
caminetti Forecasts Influx
From Europe When HostiIi-
ties Cease.

A decrease In immigration during ths
war. and a tremendous thrush Of men.
women and children from the war nd
den, devastated countries Of Europe,
is the forecast by Government officials
of tie Immigration situation during and
after the European hostilities.
Anthony Caminetti. commissioner-sen-
eral of immigration, when asked how
the war would affect the influx of Eu-
ropeans to this country, said that he
believed that immigration. which aver
aged $1,000 month, would fall off great
ly during the war. The war viii
cause business depression In Eu-,
rope. he believes, and. as times
will be hard. many will emigrate to this
country when they are relieved of mil
itary service.
The commissioner-generaI also pointed
out that many foreigners will return to
their native countries IL they can, and
they may be expected to return at the
creased immigration. he Is not sure
that the tide will exceed that OF several
years since 800.
II am not sure" said CaminettL
whether, after the war, the. volume
of immigration will be greater than
that of the six banner years since 800.
Since 1870. when this country began to
make immigration records, there have
been just six years when the number OF
immigrants passing through our ports
exceeded 100000.
"As Is generally known. 1907 was the
banner year, and the fiscal year which
has just closed was the next highest.
In 1907 there were 1,2S5,3i9 aliens who
were admitted. Last year the number
of Immigrants admitted exceeded LIS
900. The other years when immigration
ranged from 100000 to sl.19S 900 were
1895, 1906. 1910. and 1913.
II estimate that the ships last year
could have accommodated 80 per cent
more immigrants than were admitted
to this country. / do not know that
even with a quickened flow of people to
our ports, however. at the end OF the
war that immigration will reach the
maximum. The resumption OF COM
merce and agriculture in Europe may
mean an increased demand for laborers.
which will keep a great number OF
people at home who otherwise might
come to America in case OF foreign
depression

Z FRENCH AV|ATORS
DROP BOMBS IN METZ
Observe German Camps in Spite
of Shells From "AeropIane
Cannon"

PARIS. Aug. 16.-A dispatch from
Verdun tells Of a daring scouting flight
4 two French aviators over Metz today.
Two aeroplanes made the flight In
aach were a pilot and an observer. The
machines left their hangers at Yer
iun and flew over Metz, where they
iropped bombs on the huge Zeppelin
hangers.
More than 200 shells from the specially
made "aeroplRne cannon" in1ide the Ger
man lines were fired at the aeroplanes,
which circled several times over the
fortifications and camps. All the shots
missed. The two machines finally
spiraled into the air and at q great
height returned safely to the French
Ines.
The observers of both machines are
said to have secured valuable infor-
nation regarding the number Of the
enemy and the disposition of his
forces.

Japan for Peace,
Says Count Okuma

BROOKLYN, N. Y, Aug 16.-A declaration of ia
pans position in the situaton made by the PREMIER
Count Okuma contained in the following dispatch given
out by Dr. Toyokchi yenaga formerly PROFESSIONAL lee
turer at the University of Chicago and living in
Brooklyn:
TOKYO Aug. 15.-(Cable dispatch to the East and
West News Bureau.) Count Okuma, Japans premier,
declares that Japan forced to join the European conflict
will do with the single purpose of fulfilling her treaty
obligation to her ally and of upholdng the of justice
Her object is the maintenance of peace in the Orient
"Japans proximity to China breeds many absurd
rumors but declare that Japan acts with clear
science, in conformity with justice, and in perfect accord
with her ally Japan has territorial AMBITION and hopes
to stand as the protector of peace in the Orient"
This frank declaration of Japan will surely be well
coined by China with appreciation and thanks.
