WASHINGTON. Feb develop
ments in Japan's navy graft inves-
tigation are being watched with much
interest here, not because Of suspi-
cion that the investigation may re-
suit in disclosures seriously affecting
the efficiency of the japanese navy
but because of the possible effect this
investigation may have upon Japan 5
foreign policies.
The heated discussion in the Diet AT
Toxic confirms confidential report
received here that there is nEch
more to these charges than was re-
vealed in the case that first brought
them to light-that at Berlin involv-
ing Vice Admiral Full. who it was
alleged, accepted commissions from a
German firm that had "A contract for

vessels of the Japanese navy.
According to advices received in
Washington the navy graft" scan
ola has been seething in Japan for
some time. Whether true or not
the story is told in Toxic that a Jap
anese newspaper obtained a lot of
documents which, il was asserted
would establish that a number OF high
officers had been receiving commits
aons upon purchases made for the
cation of these documents was stop
ped by payment to the newspaper OF
a large sum of money. This, Toxic
gossip says, was 10000 yen ($25,0O0).
Graft Hint in Court
On January 20, in the course Of the
trial at Berlin of a man formerly EN-
ployed as stenographer in the Toxic
office of Siemens- Schuckert. the sur
face of this graft charge was
scratched. The prisoner was charged
with abstrBCting confidential CORE
spondence from the files OF the firm.
and in the course of the hearing it
developed that some OF this CORE
spondence had to do with commits

Japanese officers, Vice Admiral Flu

Aked Denies Miracle
OF Christ's Birth
San Francisco Pastor Does Not Ac-
cept Theory That Is Set Forth
by Matthew.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 7.-Dr.
Charles F. Aked has announced by i'm
plication that he does not adhere to
and will not support the doctrine of the
miraculous birth of Christ.
LAS to the creed of the miraculous
birth of Jesus" said DR.. Aked, let us
examine the books of the New Testa-
ment. Mark did not speak of the birth
of Jesus; John, who wrote mostly OF
the death and ascension OF Christ did
not speak of His birth. Luke did say
that he was Of miraculous origin, but
1t was conceded that Luke got his in
formation from Matthew.
1.-The latest investigation shows that
Matthew cOntradicted himself In the
New Testament version of the Gospel.
according to Matthew he says that
Christ was of miraculous birth. In an
older manuscript which has been dis
covered and authenticated as being the
work of the Apostle, Matthew says that
Joseph was the father of Jesus.
My conclusion upon this question is
that the faith of Mark and John and
James and Paul is good enough for me.
