all this we feel unknowingly as we

Washington, Aug. 26.-Japan may be

more distant theater of war, an official
of the Japa~ ese embassy declared.
Despite Japan's assurances that sha
intended to confne her war activities
to the Orient, the Japanese diplomat
said the scope of Japan's action de-
pends largely upon Great Britain.
If war exigencies of England should
require assistance by Japan in Europe,
the Japanese official said, Nippon, by
her treaty obligations, would be forced
seriously to give assistance outside Of
Asia.
