JAPS DENY STORY Of
MEXICAN NAVAL BASE
Embassy Says Government Never
Intended to Occupy Any Part
of Mexico's Coast

Washington. April 15.-An official
statement authorized by the Japanese
embassy to-day characterized as pre-
posterous reports that a naval
base had been established at
Turtle bay, Lower California. and de-
clared there never, never has been
any intention on the part of the Japa-
neSe government to locate naval
base or occupy any territory on the
west coast of Mexico"
Operations of Japanese warships in
Turtle bay. embassy officials said were
solely for the purpose of salvaging the
stranded cruiser Asama.
OF reports that a naval base had
been established the embassy state
ment said:
1T is more than absurd; it is pre-
posterous. There never has been an
intention on the part of the Japanese
government to locate a naval base or
to occupy any territory on the west
coast of Mexico. A few Japanese
fishermen, about score in number
perhaps, frequent the waters of this
bay, but they have no connection
whatever with the Japanese naval es-
tablishment."
Roosevelt Knows Nothing
Assistant Secretary Roosevelt said
the Navy Department was without ad-
vices as to just what had happened
but if anything extraordinary was GO
ing on it certainly would have been
reported by the American warships in
the vicinity. He added that it would
not be unusual If the Japanese had
landed in connection with their efforts
to save the Asama.
When the Asama first went ashore
and news of her plight came TO Wash
ington every effort was made to pre-
vent the information from reaching
Germany before assistance could be
sent. Responding to the call for i'm
mediate succor for the personnel of the
Asama, Admiral Howard hastened to
Turtle Bay from San Diego on his flag
ship, the cruiser San Diego. and the
cruiser Raleigh also went to the scene.
But before the aid of these ships could
be extended. a Japanese collier and
two Japanese warships appeared and
Admiral Howard Steamed away.

The. reason that some people are
chronically thin and under normal

cause of chronic leakage of the fat

gaining weight and flesh depends en-
tirely therefore on a natural stopping
of this dangerous waste OF fats and the
correction and repair of the organs of
assimilation.
For those who wish to gain healthy
flesh and put on from ten to twenty
pounds of weight a single Sargoi tab

The Puritan Fallacy.
From Golfers.

From Golfers
A modern young poet named Conrad
Aiken is versifying about steamer
trip on Long Island sound, and he finds
the night full of a Beauty so keen it
seemed it must have sinned-- 1t is
odd to encounter at this late day so
perfect an expression of the great Puri-
tan fallacy, the notion that lowell
ness and sensitiveness are more apt
to be wrong, and somberness and hard
ness right; that JOY in life is closely
allied to wickedness, and that sad
spirit is almost necessarily righteous.
This doctrine is part of the once gem
eral creed that life on this earth is less
a spiritual experience than the carry
ing out of a hard technical contract
and that creed is wrong The New
England frame Of mind has contributed
some great qualities to our national
character, but has failed to see clearly
that the beauty of the earth is any
thing more than temptation to the
human soul. This failure has had the
most serious consequences in discredit-
ing religious faith and in imposing by
pocrisy upon morals. 1t is part of the
real business of our day to shake off
these dusts of doctrine and to see this
world for what 1t is home for the
heart and soul of man, "serviceable for
the life that now is; not, 1t may be,
without promise of that which is to
come.
