JAPAN IS READY TO
DIE FOR CIVILIZATION
Prime Minister Points Out That His
Country Wishes to Ally Itself With
the West in Supporting and Pro-
tecting Highest Ideals.

| Toxic, November 2l--In an article EN-.
titled Japan and the European Arma-
| geddon," Count Shinbenobu Okuma, the
prime minister, writing in the Japan
magazine, about the war, SAYS some
forceful things about Japan's relation to
the west
1T will be our ambition at this time"
he writes, ito show the west what it is
slow to believe, that we can work har-
moniously with the great Occidental
powers to support and protect the high
lest 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 principles that the fore
most nations will die for. II is to be
in line with these nations that she is at
this time opposing and fighting what she
believed to be opposed to these princi
pies"
The premier continues: "She entered
the alliance with Great Britain to stand
for and die for what Anglo-Saxons are
everywhere ready to defend even unto
death. 1t is Japan's aim and ambition
IN participate in all world movements
toward noble diplomacy, international
relations and the principle of equal OPP

one proper means the outbreak or CON

INDICT 6 IN DEATH
OF SULLIVAN GIRL
Nurse to Be Free--Two More Suspects
Face Arrest, Including Wealthy Man
Who Took Mildred Auto Riding

Houlton, Me-, Nov 2l.--lt is reported
that six indictments have been returned
by the grand jury in the case of II
year-old Mildred Sullivan, whose body
the woods two weeks ago, after two
months search. The grand jury finished
it's investigation of the case Thursday
! night, but the county officials stated
that report would not be made until
the jurors had disposed of all other mat
ters before them, which will probably
be some time next week.
Present indications are that two more
arrests will be made as the result OF the
grand iury's action. 1t is said that a
wealthy Houlton man is among those
who may finally have to answer for the
pretty high school girls death, This
man is said to be the one really respon-
sble for the condition which made it
necessary for Miss Sullivan to consult a
physician.
According to the reports about town,
this man supplied Katie Mchaud and
Ambrose Bridge with the money which
is said to have been used in paying for
Mildreds medical or surgical treatment.
1t is declared Miss Sullivan went to
Presque Isle knowing that certain ar
rangements had been made to assist her.
The wealthy suspect is said to have met
Miss Sullivan at dances during the sum
mer at Niekerson's lake and to have
taken her home in his automobile on
several occasions.
The Michaud woman was before the
grand jury for two hours, and it is be-
lieyed this will free her. Lawyers say
she has been granted immunity auto
matically. 1t is said she told the grand
jurors all she knew about the case from
the time she met Mildred Sullivan until
the girl died She made a clean breast
of her part in the affair, realizing that
her freedom depended on the assistance
she gave the state.
The Michaud woman has openly de-
clared to her friends that she expects to
be freed, and says it is no more than she
deserves, as without her confession" the
girls body would probably never have
been recovered.
Detective Sergeant Irwin of the Bos
ton police department and Miss Ruth De-
Cambridge stenographer, left
here Thursday night for home. They
will return for the trial.

Instantly the flow of blood from a wound
has been invented by Professor Theodore
korcher of Berne, who was awarded the
Nobel prize for surgery in 1912, and his
assistant Dr. A. Fonce. The new prep
aration is called coagulen. 1t is in the
form of powder and is dissolved in
water before being applied to a wound.
The discoveries of coagulen have made
gift of their invention to the armies
in the field, and have sent large guam
titles of the powder to the surgical head
quarters of both the German and French
armies. The discovery is regarded by
medical men here as likely to save the
lives of thousands of soldiers, since it
can be applied by unframed hands, so
that the wounded man himself or his
comrade might use the solution.

XMAS DINNER
IN LONDON"
Has Been the Slogan of German Troops
on the Belgian Coast-Some Re-
markable Stories of Preparation
for Siege of British Isles.

|
London, Nov. q correspondence o
The Associated Press Remarkable m
mors are circulating in London concern
ing the means the Germans expect u
use in reaching England. Guns which
can shoot across the strait of Dover, sub
marine transports capable OF landing
large detaebments of soldiers on the
English coast, and submarine forts along
the Belgian coast are among the mystic
rious devices gossip aceredits Germany
as having in reserve.
The activity of the Germans in pre-
pairing Notifications of some sort at Zee
brugge, on the Belgian coast north OF
Ostend end not far from the mouth OF
the Scheldt, has given rise TO many
| alarming stories. One is that caissons
are being sunk from which the Germans
will be able 10 fire torpedoes. These
caissons are supposed to be permanent
and OF such character that they can also
be used to conceal disappearing guns,
which can in an emergency be raised for
use above the water
Christmas dinner in London" is the
latest slogan of the German troops
along the Belgian coast. Officers and
men have constantly circulated the re-
port that they expect to invade Eng
land. While English officials have said
little about a possible invasion, there
has been no lack of preparation to re-
ceive the onslaughts of any force of
Germans which might manage to cross
the 20 miles of water between Dover
and Calais.
English aeroplanes and dirigibles are
constantly on the alert. The sea is
fairly alive with naval craft of all de-
scriptions. Mines are carefully placed,
and any landing in England would doubt
less be made at terrible cost, if such
landing be possible, and once landed an
enemy would find coast artillery and ev-
cry possible sort of obstruction standing
between the seacoast and London. Wire
and breastworks of sand
bags bar all paths leading from possible
landing places to the tops of the chalky
cliffs which surround the island.
Trenches for riflemen and field guns have
been dug in strategic points all along
the coast.
Hundreds of thousands Of young sol |
diers have been giving practical lessons
in digging entertainments from one end
Of England to the other. And the work
has been all directed by military experts
who saw to it that earthworks were
erected where it was possible they might |
be useful in case some great disaster
should befall the English navy.
