to send any messages concerning the
disposition or movements Of troops OF

ed not to print any news of that ma
ture. Preparations for war with Ger

The American ambassador has been
approached with a view of having him

No Anti-German Feeling.
There is no evidence of any anti.
German feeling here. The people are
taking the situation calmly and the
government has ordered that courte.
Gus treatment shall be accorded to all
German residents.
There are number of German pro-
fessors in the japanese universities,

The government realizes that Japan
has a hard task at kaio Chau. The

on the German stronghold.

The Toxic newspapers today dis
played prominently statement that
Japan's ultimatum was sent to Ger
many at the request of England after
long diplomatic consultation. This is
flat denial Of the statements made
in English newspapers that japan was
acting on her own initiative. The 10,
cal newspapers express surprise that
the American press should attribute
sinister motives to Japan in view OF
the fact that she acted at the request
Of her ally.
They also carry emphatic denials by

tivities have caused the government to

Brown, of Camden, and Jimmy Kane,

the field goal fight in the Eastern League
Since the season began Brown, though
playing guard, has been the man whom
the Camden players have fed" He is
clever and accurate shot, and is able
to make many points for his team because
he is ever within easy range when he
attempts to drop the ball in the basket
Both Brown and Kane are credited with
% field goals each, an average of more
than three per game. Next to these
is Dolin, Camden's centre. Dolin has
been utilized by his teammates as an of
fensive cog during most of the games
along with Brown. He, like his team
mate, is accurate because he does not
take long shots. Both men are as 1.-the
as panthers. and often make goals when
they are literally covered" by an oppo-
nent. Dolin has annexed "a goals, an
