A Statement of
Japanese Policy.

The statement of Japanese policy
which It is believed came direct from
the rnikado himself, affords an exhi-
hilton Of craftsmanship and common
sense that should be worth something
in these troubled times. Here are the
words of the statement:
Japan will restore Kiauchau. Will
preserve the territorial integrity OF
China, and the terms of the ultima
tlLm to Germany will be adhered to
whether Using Tau Is taken by force
or otherwise.
Japan realizes that in these sudden
Iy-faced responsibilities she must act
with the utmost circumspection,
especially In view. of the campaign
of mlsapprehension and world wide
prevailing misunderstanding of her
real motives, ambitions and policies.
Japan must once and for all eradi-
cate the suspicion of her motives pre-
vailing in America and fostered by
years of anti-Japanese propaganda.
The partition OF China or the viola
ton of Chinese integrity in any way
is the last thing japan plans. She
most desires the friendship and con-
fidence of Pekin and the entire eradi-
cation Of all roots of suspicion.
Following this also came another
announcement from Count Okuma in
which he said:
AS premier of Japan, I have stated
and / now again state to the people
of America and of the world that ia
pan has no Interior motive. no desire
to secure more territory, no thought
of depriving China or other peoples
OF anything which they now possess.
We have been trained to look upon
Japan as a nation only just out of
barbarlsm, but these statements of
policy-for directness, simplicity, and
common sense-are models after
which some of our long and highly
civilized peoples might well pattern.
And one Of the most refreshing
things about the Mikado's pronounce
ment is the fact that he does not
arrogate to himself any special dis
pensation from Almighty God to car
ry his policies into effect.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 23. =
From time to time II has been
customary for some eminent indi-
udual in the sporting work TO
ruminateon the merits and demer-

present. The favorite indoor
pastime among ring fans Is to
draw comparisons between fight
era of the old school and those of
the present day. The verdict
reached, especially by those wor-
shippers of the old method of ring
battle. invariably Is that the flock
OF fighters that is now figuring

cadence of'fighters is pifflel The

Coffroth further states, "a man
who for three or four rounds did
nothing but feel his opponent out,
would be hooted out OF the ring!
The gallery wouldn't stand for
him. and a promoter who attempt

risk his reputation and all future

1t. He went to Muskegon as a

Zuppke was obtained. What he
did with that high school team
amazed the followers of football.

His success at Oak Park at

versity of Illinois athletic authori-
ties. Illinois has been as unfor-
tunate in football as it has been
fortunate in baseball.
Last year Zuppke took the
team and developed it into FORM

ter.al was not of the best for Ill
inois. This year Zuppke, with a
veteran squad to depend upon as
a foundation, commenced to work
out his theories. His success has
wrecked a lot of football tradi-
tons and, in fact, is the biggest
triumph western football ever has
known.
