No Neglect by Government.

Baron Takagi asked what measure
the government was taking for i'm
pressing the gravity of the situation
upon the public and for arousing
patriotism. Count Okuma, the premier.
observed that the enthusiasm was
naturally less now than during the war
with Russia, but the government was
not neglecting measures for impressing
the people. The minister of education
added that war news was being dis
tributed to children in elementary
schools in order to impress them with
the gravity Of events.
The seiyukai party yielded in the
end and the war program was adopted
unanimously. Their opposition is in
terpreted merely as a political meas
ure to embarrass the present cabinet
and not as in any way indicating a
lack of support by the people of Japan
for the war with Germany. On the
contrary, the declaration of war
against Germany met with popular
favor everywhere, because it Iieases
the japanese to feel that they are CO.
operating with the powers of Europe.

Query Regarding Belgium.

out of this agreement. Am I mistaken
in thinking that Japan has been treat
ed as being on a par with Belgium
The foreign minister replied that he
did not think that such was the case.
The member then concluded by ex-
pressing the wish that Japan would
have a powerful voice when the time
came for the conclusion of peace SO
that she might reap good fruits.
Subsequent to the adjournment Of the
diet it was announced that Great
Britain had informed Russia and
France that the agreement as to future
peace must not be regarded as modi-
flying In any way the terms or obliga-
tions Of the alliance with Japan. This
alliance was a previous agreement and
according to its terms Great Britain
and Japan would conduct both war and
peace in common
At the meeting of the house Of peers
Baron Den expressed the hope that the
present war would be turned to ac-
count to increase the happiness Of the
country. While the war would strike
a blow at trade 1t would at the same
time open a new market for Japanese
goods. Japan might avail herself of
the present opportunity by taking the
place of Germany in trade with Russia.

all opposition and the war credit OF

could not do in the war with Germany.
It was not in keeping with Japan's

Japan should be kept from the South
