Toxic. Japan, Feb. 27.-The Japanese
premier. Count Okuma, said today that
in presenting its demands to the
Chinese government. Japan had no In
tention of trespassinG upon the rights
of China or interfering with the open
door policy. The desire O. Japan was.
he said, that China should attain tho
real dignity of independence and not
fall the prey of any nation.
The premier's remarks were made to
Prof. Smaller Mathews. OF the Uni.
versity of Chicago. and Prof. Sydney
L. Gulick. of New York. as they were
taking leave OF the premier. They sailed
for San Francisco on the steamship
Mongolia. having completed their mis-
sion to Japan under the auspices OF tho
federal council of Churches of Christ i'm
America. In the judgment Of the
Japanese press. the work which they
have done in fostering cordial relations
between Japan and the United States.
is Of historic significance and will prove
most helpful in maintaining the friend-
ship OF the two nations.
Oriental Peace Is Sought.
Count Okuma stated that the in
tegrity and prosperity of China are not
only to the advantage of Japan but that
they constituted the sole guarantee OF
peace In the orient. To secure this
peace. he said. was the underlying
motive of Japanese diplomacy. Japan
had no thought of infringing upon tho
rights of other nations. and acceptanco
of her rgiits, by China could involve
no such infringements. 9
Efforts have been made to cause q
disruption of the relations between
Japan and America" the premier CON.
tnued. These attempts having failed.
the mischief makers now look to China
AS u field in which the two powers may
be made to clash. l see no reason f0H
such conflict"
Maintain Open Door Policy.
The premier stated that japan and
Great Britain possessed as we'll grounded
understanding concerning the integrity
of China In accordance with tho
well known policy of the United States.
he believed that American manufacture
ers would find the Chinese markets
open to them. Japan had no Intention
OF resorting to unfair means for tho
purpose of monopolZing these mar
kcts.
Professor Mathews said he was con-
yinced of the deep rooted friendship Of
the Japanese for America. =

Petrograd, via London. Feb. 27-The
German infantry forces are being trust
back across the river Niemen in north
ern Poland, and the Russian general
staff believes another German plan Of
attack on warsaw has been countered
successfully
The resumption Of pronounced activ-
ity near Borjimow. on the central Pol
and front, is noted. To quote the
opinion OF staff officer as deduced
by those operations by the Germans.
evidently the Germans intend to rush
forward again in the center. For the
purpose they need reinforcement Of
troops.
"In the Kovno district activity is
diminishing. Hence. it is evidence the
Germans are again using their perfect
railroad system to throw over troops
from Kovno.
Trying to Gut Railroad.
TN order that we shall not be able to
do the same things, namely, to rush
troops south to the Rzura and Rawka
rivers. the Germans are making des-
perate efforts, first, with cavalry and
then with infantry. TO cut the failroad
north to wilma. Thanks to the watch
fulness OF our commanders and the en-
ergy of our troops the efforts OF the
enemy have been futile"
This officer added that even tho the
German plans had succeeded this
achievement would not have Influenced
greatly the Russian position at Borji-
NOV, so long as other railroad lines to
the front remained In position.
THE German right flank at Ossowetz
been uncovered, where the artillery
kagement still remains undecided.

Due to Division
Over Ne,4tra1ity

Rome, Feb. 27.-Vehement at
tacks on the government were made
in the chamber Of deputies yester-
day by the extremists because of
instructions given projects to pro-
hibit meetings even when they are
described as private, ii there is a
reason to believe they would result
in disorder. The clashes have arisen
between the war party and those
who advocate strict neutrality. A
tumult arose when the extremists
declared a prohibition of such
meetings was a violation of law.
Premier Salandra replied to the
criticisms of the government. He
declared the instructions were de-
signed to protect liberty raise the
dignity of the country, which has
been injured by dissentions, and ce-
ment a moral unity which would
lead to triumph. AS the extremists
shouted it was plan to prevent in
tervention in the war, the premier
declared:
Il do not know whether our ma
ton is destined to march to war,
but if this shall be the case we
must all obey the orders of the
fatherland and the king"

DIRECT BATTLES FROM AFFAIR.
German Commanders Direct Move.
ments From Desks Miles Away.

mentS from OeSkS MteS away.
The Hague, Feb. 27.-The favorite
theme of war artists-depicting a gen.
eral surrounded by staff officers for his
safety while he watches thru his field
glasses from some eminence within the
zone of fire of the fuctuating fortunes
of his army-has become obsolete, as
far as the German army of the east is
concerned.
Thirty miles from the firing line,
along the far extended eastern battle
front. the various stats sit at their
desks, surrounded by maps and photo
graphs giving the most minute features
of the country where the fighting is
under way. When line officer arrives
at Nstaff headquarters from the actual
front. these maps are supplemented by
his reports and the latest photographs
from the enemies lines.
When he returns he takes with him
the exact orders for the next move
ment Of the units. The brains of the
army are thus kept from any danger
even of shell fire, and the only thing
that makes the work of the staff any
more dangerous than the deliberations
of war college during peace times, is
the remote possibility OF becoming the
target Of a raiding aeroplane.
This machine-like efficiency is dupli-
Gated In the organization Of the rear
guard communications. Already two
permanent railroads have been built
in Poland by the Germans, one to Lodz
and the other down the bank of the
Vistula. as far as the German lines
have been pushed. A thru train daily
is now run between LODI and Mons,
thus connecting the most distant points
In the east and west now under occu-
patton by German armies of invasion.

was under considerat ation, there was
little prospect of an extra session be-

members makes it improbable that any
action on the treaties can be taken

London. Feb. 27.-A fleet of British
and French warsh:ps continues to
hammer away at the door of the Dar-
danelles. the straits which close Rus
sia's rich granary: and the very real
necessity of releasing the huge supply
of wheat now on the shores of the
Black sea causes the general belief
that the present attack on the Darda-
neles forts is a serious undertaking
and not merely a demonstration.
Official announcements declare that
after the reduction of the four outer
forts, mine sweepers went TO work un-
der the projections Of the guns Of the
feet, while unofficial dispatches from
Athens and Rome assert that at least
one French warship actually has PEN
etrated the passage

Germany remains silent regarding

Petrograd. less reticent, announces a
repulse of German attacks in north
Poland. with heavy losses, as a result
of the desperate fighting of the past
few days. The Russian general staff
claims to have forced back the Ger
mans along the front OF twenty five
miles in the Przasnysz region.
The impression is growing in Eng
land that the German advance in East
Prussia is due mainly to political and
economic motives, and that conse-
quently it is without great strategic eff
feet
In the west the French continue to
claim advances in the Champagne dis
trict. with quiet prevailing along the
rest of the line.
