No Japs to Europe.

TOXIC The project to or
ganize and send a Japanese volunteer
army to Europe has been abandoned.
The promoters explain that they fail
ed to get the governmental sanction,
which was judged necessary. The
promoters then decided to work for
the dispatch of one regiment instead
of two divisions, and applied to the
army authorities for approval, only to
meet again with failure. The project
was therefore abandoned.
