Alliance Made Stronger by War.
Tokyo Foreign Office Plans More
Energetic Protests Here.

Tokyo, Dec. 1.-THE Japanese foreign
ONCE evidently Is expecting q great deal
of anti-Japanese legislation at the next
session Of the California legislature
Secret agents OF the foreign office have
followed the recent elections very closely,
with the result that IT has issued a con.
hdential report to the Japanese newspa-
pers, giving what appears to be an ac-
curate analysis of the legislative situa-
ton In California. in so far as It affects
possible antl-Japanese legislation.
Public utterances Of all the candidates
on the question OF anti-Japanese legisla-
tion have been checked up. and according
to the forecast of the Japanese foreign
office those who are in favor OF such
legislation are in the majority in both
houses OF the legislature.
II Is believed here that Japan has held
on further protests about the anti-Jap-
anese legislation in California until after
the California election. Now that she
sees no hope OF a change OF sentiment
there. she doubtless will push the matter
further. With the Anglo-Japanese aIli-
ance strengthened through Japan's aid
In the war against Germany. there Is
little doubt here that this time Japan's
diplomatic representations will be much
stronger than they have been hereto
fore.

follows:
I'VE are convinced that had II not been
for the hrmness and tact so conspicu-
ously shown by your excellency and the
admirable arrangements due to your per-
sonal intervention, our departure would
never have been sanctioned by the Otto

Of what all that means adds still more
to the gratitude we desire to express to

Girl Convict, Forced
To Work in Ala. Mill

Montgomery, Ala, July %
One of the most revolving prison
conditions in the history of the
State came to light today when
Governor O'Neal issued a parole
to Exile D. Hartly, a white girl of
Cherokee County, who was SER
fenced in that county to six
months on charge of vagrancy.
This girl is II years of age and
has been confined to Flat Top
mines. She is the only woman al
that prison where there are over
400 white and negro criminals.
She was sent to Flat Top because
there was no suitable place to keep
her in Cherokee County. Had she
been State convict she could have
been kept in proper condition, but
being county convict there YVES
no place to put her.
In issuing the parole Governor
O'Neal declared that some pro-
vision for caring for this class of
convIcts should be made by the
next Legislature.
