JAPAN WILL HELP ALLIES
BY TURNING OUT MUNITIONS

ICorres pondence Of Associated Press
TOKYO, August 24.-The decision OF
tho Japanese government. announced
to-day. to mobilize the country's indus
trial resources to increase the OUTPUT
Of arms and ammunition for her allies
is explained by Premier Okuma in an
Interview in the Kohumin Shimbun.
Russia has Il great number OF SOL
diers. but she lacks munitions and other
war material" the Premier Is quoted as
saving. England is in the same posi-
ton. France alone among tho entente
powers is able TO meet her own re-
quircmcnts.
Japan now realizes that all the allies
must cooperate to defeat our common
enemies, and has decided TO give further
assistance to them. We have sent in
structions to our ambassadors abroad
to that effect"
Referring 10 what he called the i'm :
practicability of sending troops to Eu-
rope. the Premier expressed the idea
that ii would naturally be difficult for
the Japanese soldiers TO fight so whole
heartedly as they would for their own
country. He was confident the in
creased help which Japan now Is un-
dertaking would satisfy her allies.
The Premier disposed of the question
of formal alliance with Russia Ivy
saying il was inexpedient to enter into
any such relations during the war
japan would send representatives to
the peace conference, but. since she was
not in the thick of battle. her claims
were bound TO be restricted
But wo viii see to it," said the
Premier. that our dignity is respect ed
and that our rights are guaranteed Sc
cured Especially in the Orient we
shall not allow our position to he in
jurcd."
