JAPANESE WANT
 GERMAN ISLANDS
Officially Announced At Tokio That Mikado's Government Will Keep
 
 All 1t Gets Its Hands On.

TOKYO, Oct. 8.-(Delayed in trans mission)-The Japanese government announced today that it had never made any promises to the American government nor Great Britain that Japan would not seize any other Ger man possessions in the Orient except ing Kiao Chau. The announcement was made officially following much adverse criticism of the government in going to war, with the only possi- ble gain small German possession in China, when many of the best coaling stations in the Pacific were to be had for tha asking and the navy could easily take the Marshal islands, the Caroline islands east of the Phil ippines and not very far distant from them, lying directly in the path be- tween the Philippines and the Unit ed States.
 Tho Germans also have a number of islands in the Ladrone group and the Bismarck archipelago. near New Guinea, all of which would be of great benefit to Japan as maritimespow- CT. giving her many coaling stations and places to fortify for the protec- tion of commerce and from which to prey upon the commerce of the Unit ed States. should the two countries ever clash. .s~

 Will Make Antwerp Naval Base.
 Naval experts here believe that the Germans will make of Antwerp a na- val base for operations against the British. It is predicted here that Germany will seize the Scheldt river which runs through Holland and will fortify the mouth of the river at once. Will Force Holland In the Fight.
 It is believed that Holland will soon be forced to choose one side or the other, as the Germans are certain to follow up the present advantage by siezing Dutch territory on the coast Holland must then elect to join Germany or the allies, and in either event her doom is sealed, as she will become the battle ground of the opposing armies and her coast will be bombarded by the opposing, fleets. Her commerce will become the prey of the enemy, while her colonies, some of the most valuable in the world, will fall into the hands of the allies should the decision be for Ger many, while if against the kaiser her home cities will be captured and burned and the inhabitants forced to pay big indemnities to finance the war of Germany.

= LONDON, Oct. 12.-The Germans have taken n'werp and now hold that city, which is to be forced to pay an indemnity of $1OO,O0O, 900 or be entirely destroyed. The garrison led by King Albert left the city and made a junction with the British troops at Ostend and are now ready to renew the attack on the Germans. In northern France the allied army has made some progress in the cen ter according to advices from Paris and have pushed the enemy back. From Russia today the news is not extensive, indicating that big events are taking place in the East. Some apprehension is felt in London over the outcome when the Germans, with their full strength, come in contact with the poorly trained and equipped Russian force.
 Fear for Holland.
 The naval experts here believe that the Germans will seize the land at the mouth of the Scheldt river and thus, violating Holland neutrality, that country must take one side or the other.

that it will not be necessary to continue
importing teachers. Let this million
