CREATED GREAT INTEREST.
State Of japanese Attitude on California
Land Matter

Washington. D. c., Jan. 23.--Baron
Makinos statement in the Japanese par
lament Wednesday of the status of the
negotiations in regard to the California
alien land legislation excited the great
est interest in official circles here yester-
day. Although, under a special agree
ment between the two governments, the
Japanese foreign minister refrained from
making public the details of the ex-
changes, his statement was informative
in many quarters and particularly in
Congress.
President Wilson was fully aware OF
the fact that statement was to be
made. Where negotiations are stih in
complete the rules of diplomacy require
the assent of both bodies to the publi-
cation of any OF the details SO that one
side may not take advantage OF the
other to form public opinion. This rule
was scrupulously observed in the present
instance, and Secretary Bryan. admitted
that he was aware of and had consented
10 Baron Makinos statement.
Bysa coincidence, the House committee
on immigration was considering yester-
day some data supplied from the state
department regarding japanese immi-
grafton, when attention was called to
The development in Toxic and although
the data before the committee was pure
" historical, relating to period an
terror 10 the passage OF the Webb act,
the committee decided that it was the
part of prudence to consider such sub
lects behind closed doors at this stage.
In administration circles there was
feeling of optimism regarding the rela
tions between the United States and
Japan and the highest officials did not
hesitate to express the opinion that a
satisfactory agreement between the two
rountries soon would be reached. There
was no intimation as to the probable
basis of such an agreement.
However. when attention was called
to the fact that the negotiations had
been suspended last August because of
radical difference of opinion between
the two governments as to the meaning
of the existing treaty, one of the officials
who would be directly concerned in the
proceedings suggested that the proper
way TO meet such a condition would be
to frame a new treaty which would so
precisely define the rights of each party
that there could be no further differ
ence of construction.
1t has been understood that in the
rourse of the exchanges this idea of an
adjustment by the means of new treaty
was mentioned, though yesterday it was
stated that Japan had not made any
formal request for such a convention.
Therefore, it is believed that the way is
still open for the resumption of the me-
gotiations on that basis in the near
future. and it was suggested that his
probably was what Baron Maxine had

BENJAMIN CHAPLIN COMING.
well-Known Entertainer to Appear in
Barre Next Tuesday.

The members of the Barre Woman's
club hope to score another success next
Tuesday evening, when Benjamin Chaplin
appears in his dramatic monologuc,
Life in the White House."
This entertainment is entirely differ
ent from any preceding it, being a nov
city by itself--it is not lecture, but
a four.act play, written by Mr.. Chaplin,
in which he impersonates the character
of Abraham Lincoln.
Mr.. Chapin's personal resemblance to
Mr.. Lincoln is said to be most striking
and some of our citizens, who witnessed
"a production OF the play during its long
run in New York, pronounce it an excep-
tionally fine thing.
Parents are especially urged to allow
their children to attend, as better idea
may be formed of Lineolns wit, his good
humor. his tenderness, his unselfish pa
triotism, the annoyanees and difficulties
of his position and the heavy weight he
had to carry than from the study of
pages of history.
