Says Japan Joins With

Z Toxic. Japan. Nov. 2s.-In an article en-
titled Japan and the European Armaged-
dnn," Count Shigenobu Okuma, the prime
minister. writing in the Japan Magazine.
about the war. says some forceful things
about Japan's relation to the west.
ct will be our one ambition at this
time" he writes. "to show the west what
it is slow to believe. that we can work
tremendously with great OCCIDENTAL powers
to support and protect the highest ideals
Of civilization. even to the extent OF dying
for them. Not only in the far east but
anywhere else that may be necessary. Japan
is ready to lay down her life for the prin-
ciples that the foremost nations will die
Off. It is to be in line with these nations
that she is at this tine opposing and fight
ing what she believes to be opposed to
these principles
The premier continues: "she entered the
alliance with Great Britain to stand for and
die for what the Anglo-SaxOns are every
where ready to defend even unto death Il
is Japan's aim and ambition to participate
in all world movements toward noble d.
plOmacy. international relations and the
principle Of equal opportunity and peace.
and to prevent by one proper means the
outbreak or continuance Of bloodshed be-
tween nations Japan's relation TO the
present conflict Is as defender or the
things that make for hikher civilization
and a more permanent peace"
Count Okuma devOtes a considerable
space to an historical resume OF the causes
Of the present international war. Speak
ing generally he thinks that the war is
always due to an unevenness Of advance
ment in the progress OF civilization. which
like water must find its level when its
force is DISTRACTED there VIII be violence
and bloOdshed. War also is result OF the
pressure offered in resistance to the growth
Of civilization.
Speaking in particular the premier IS IN
clined to find the root OF the present war
in the weakness Of the Balkan peninsula
Like China" he affirms ut is a seething
crater in the worlds diplomacy. From
conditions apparently Insignificant in them
selves. half the world can be set on fire
and PLUNGED into distress and decimated."

Germans Ingenius in
Locating French Guns
Through CleOer Spies

Paris. France. Nov. 2S.-The Germans are
most daring and ingenious in communicat-
ing the position Of French batteries to
their Eunners. For instance, some French
guns were recently placed under cover OF
a wood In the front Of the position was
an expansive plateau. They could see they
were making excellent practice, and the
enemy was obviously unable to locate them
Presently an old farm hand emerged
from a lane, guiding a horse drawn
plough There were two horses In the
team. One was white and the other roam.
Quite frequently the gunners commented
upon the acute contrast; with interest they
marked his movements in their odd mo-
ments.
He was a typical French peasant, hardy
son Of the soil. and the soldiers were lost
in their admiration Of the coolness-or
carelessness-which could permit an old
husbandman to start ploushing even whilst
d battle ragged about him.
Soon, however. they were Induced TO re-
gard the situation in rather a different
light for scarcely had the old fellow ad-
dressed himself to his first furrow than
shells began to rain upon the French bat
teries. They then knew what had hap
pened. The supposed ploughman was a
spy, who. by means Of his conspicuous
team, had given away the gun position
They never saw him again. but It was not
for want Of trying to find him.
