JAPs NOT TO RETAIN ISLANDS.
Taking Of Marshall Group Merely Act

to Preserve Commerce.
Washington, Oct. 5.-Japan has no
design to violate in any sense the
undertaking she gave at the beginning
of the war to continue her military
operations to the far east. the Japan
csc embassy here announced today.
and the landing of Japanese blue
jackets on Jaluit. Island. one of the
Marshall group, is regarded at the
embassy here as fully within the scope
of the pledge
Without direct advice from Toxic
on the subject, the officials are con-
fident that the sole purpose of the
Japanese landing in the Marshall Is
lands was to protect commerce:
privilege specially reserved In the
japanese undertaking. 1t rs known
that Jaluit has been made base for
German cruisers. which We're prey,ng
on British and Japanese commerce. 1t
was said, too. that large quantities of
supplies had been gathered there by
the Germans. 1t is understood here
that the Japanese have no purpose or
desire to retain the Marshall group,
as was evidenced by the destruction OF
Notifications. arms and ammunltlons.
which certainly would have been re-
tanned if the Japanese had wished to
remain there.
Gable advices to the embassy from
Toxic bearing on the complication that
has arisen between China and Japan
over the seizure by the latter of the
Shantung railway, sets forth the Jap
anese contention that this action was
no more in violation of Chinese neu-
trality than was the landing in the
neighborhood of Using Tau.
Tho nomiually owned. by a private
corporation, it Is declared that the
railroad was actually a German gov
ernnnental property and as such "a.s 5:ssS 2 $
subject to seizure by Japan as any part
of the German property or fortifica-
tions at Tsing Tau
The railroad also was said to he ab-
soiutely necessary to the development
Of the japanese plan of campaign
against the German naval station and
its outlying defenses.
The Chinese government Itself was
declared to be thoroughly conversant
with the fact and disposed to make no
issue on them further than it regards
as necessary to place on record the
fact that ii has striven TO be alb
sclutely neutral to avoid possible future
punishment at the hands of Germany
in the event the latter should in the
end prove 10 he victorious.

""The strain is said to be almost un-

INTERPRETERS swlnoLE GREEKS
Foreigners Easy Prey to Employmen
AGENTS and AGENCIES.

Clinton. Oct 6-"Greek residents OF
Iowa are being swindied by interpret
ers who are nothing more than gam
blers. and Greek boys are being held
in this state with no chances TO become
real American citizens" said John Con-
stantine of Cedar Rapids.
Mr.. Constantine is in Clinton TO in
vestigate the case of fifty one Greeks
whose pay checks have been gar
nished to cover the cost of provisions.
and who claim that they paid the debt
to Greek Interpreter who has left the
city. He is engaged -; y systematic
campaign TO help his countrymen by
encouraging them to obtain an educa-
ton and by warning them against the
expressions to which they are subject
ed. In the work he has made thirty
FIVE speeches before Greeks in Iowa.
The Greeks are ignorant because
of the many centuries OF Turkish
rule said Mr. Constantine. 'TheS have
not succeeded in getting rid of the Gus
toms fastened on them by the Turks,
which lowered their standard of living.
But they are capable of becoming good
citizens. Most of tho men who call
themselves interpreters know scarcely
any English ard cheat the other
Greeks
"Then they are cheated by en-
ployment agencies. Greek boys are
made to work for masters and sleep
in one room. They are not encour-
aged to go to school. There is one
Greek establishment in Cedar Rapids
that has six or eight boys held in that
manner. If I had my way, 1 would
abolish every Greek shoeshining par
lor in the United States"
Mr.. Constantine says that any
Greek who is in trouble should write
to him at Cedar Rapids or to the Greek
newspaper Atlantis in New York City.

the antional board Of the Daughters
of the American Revolution in this city

the stringent situation in the south

caused by the European war.
"The number of southern girls who

of a lack OF market for cotton has led
me to propose this resolution. said
Mrs. G.. T. Smallwood who is principal
of a local seminary.

Paris. Oct. 6.-Despite the official

today in ultimate success in the great

preparations for an important surprise

The French merely stuck to their posi-

large numbers with their artillery fire.
The digging of false trenches and
all kinds of efforts which will rebound

The lists of dead printed in the
