JAPAN OUT OF EUROPE
In No Case Would Send Fleet or
 Army, Says Okuina.

The Japanese premier, Count Oku- ma,l in an interview in Tolxio yester- day, expressed his regret that the United States had not been able to mediate in the, European conflict, which, he said, if it continues, means the destruction of western civilization. Japan, he continued, would have been happy to join the United States in mediation, but her possible participa- 5tion in the war as an ally of Great Britain made her an interested party. - The premier said that Japan, if she were reluctantly compelled to inter .vene, would protect the British colo niess but under no circumstances would she send a fleet or an army Sto Europe.
 Considerable activity among the vessels of the Japanese navy followed the announcement of the declaration of war between Germany and Great Britain. The lighthouses along the Siberian coast have been extinguish- ed.

Braine crawled from his uncomfort-
able hiding place. His clothes were
soiled and damp, his hat gone. BY
a hairs breadth he had escaped the
clever trap laid for him. Hargreave
was alive, he had escaped; Braine was
as certain of this fact as he was of
his own breathing. He now knew
how to account for the Pickering light

He, Braine. had been lured to com

good luck had escaped with nothing
more serious than cold chill and a
CALLING disappointment.
He crawled along the top Of the
pier, listening, sending his dark-accusi
toned glance hither and thither. The
sky In the east was growing paler and
paler In and out among the bales
Of wool. bags Of coffee and lemon
crates he slowly and cautiously
wormed his way. A Waterman pa
trolled the office side of the ware
house, and Braine found it possible
to creep around the other way. thence
into the street. After that he straight
ened up. sought a secondhand shop
and purchased a soft hat, which he
pulled down over his eyes.
He had half a dozen rooms which
ne always kept in readiness for such
adventures as this. He rented them
furnished in small hotels which never
asked questions of their patrons. Tt
one Of these he went as fast as his
weary legs could carry him. He al
ways carried the key. Once in hi
room he donned fresh wearing ap
