CRASHING OPPORTUNITY
Consul Had More Than Seven Years
of Consular Duties in Far East.

Cincinnati, O.-With the jaws of the
dragon of Japan closing on Kiao-Chau.
German port leased from China, Ger
man Consul Oskar Merger foresees
that Japan is grasping an opportunity
presented by the general turmoil of
war in Europe to impress upon the
world their motto, Asia for Asiatics,
guided by Japan" More than seven
years of consular duties in the far
east enables Consul Merger to speak
authoritatively in his announcement
of the Japanese participation in the
European situation.
'The leading principle of Japan's
foreign policy is Asia for Asiatics and
to the guidance of Japan" Consul
Merger stated. eff Japan is success
full in eliminating Germany as one of
the foremost of the worlds Powers in
far Eastern Asia, it will then be Lap
pet it Went en- mangeant,' the French
motto of annexation. With Japan it
is the expectation to drive Germany
from Kiao-Chau, tomorrow the Amer
leans from the Philippines, day after
tomorrow the French from the inner
most India, then the Dutch from Meth
erland India, and finally the English
from English India, perhaps from Aus
tralia."

MAINTAIN CREDIT !.
OF UNITED STATES
BUSINESS MEN DECLARE THAT
GOLD RESERVE SHOULD
NOT BE IMPAIRED.
HOLLAND MAKES COMMENT
Attitude of Business World Reflected
: BY Prevailing Opinion of Ship
ping Committees.


New York.-Of the two points of
view respecting the establishment by
the Bank of England of a reserve
agency at Ottawa for the purpose of
receiving and making available Amer
lean gold, one is held by business men,
including some of the leaders in rail-
way affairs, while the other appears
to be the majority opinion of the bank
ers. The attitude of the business
world was reflected by what appeared
to be the prevailing opinion of the
members of one of the shipping COM
mittees of the Chamber of Commerce.
The influence of this committee is
exerted principally in railway move
ments and shipping, and it also repre-
sents men who are greatly occupied
with foreign trade. There is no doubt
that when the committee met, as soon
as was possible after it was known
that the Bank of England would estab-
lish a depository in Ottawa, Canada,
practically unanimous opinion was
held by members in favor of maintain
ing voluntary moratorium so far as
gold payments by the United States
are concerned.

CONDITIONS ARE BETTER
Over Twenty-Five Thousand United
States Citizens in Austria.

Washington.-Decided improvement
in the financial situation of Ameri-
cans abroad, especially in Germany
and Austria, were reported to the
State Department from the embassies
at Berlin and Vienna. In both CAPT
tails American credit paper is being
honored.
Ambassador Penfeld, at Vienna,
stated that the Wiener Bankverein,
the Austrian National Bank, and many
of their branches were cashing let
tiers of credit, express checks and
cable transfers.
OF the $4,000 Americans estimated to
be in Austria at present 100 of them,
according to Ambassador Penfeld, are
people of means, and only one-third
of the entire number cares to leave
the country. Daily trains, the ambas-
sador states, are carrying passengers
into Italy.
Messages from Ambassador Gerard
mention a similar improvement in the
financial situation in Germany. Con-
sui Morgan, in an undated message
from Hamburg. reports that special
train load. of 140 Americans has left
Hamburg for Rotterdam.
