COUNT OkUMA EXPLAINS THE CONDUCT
Of JAPAN TOWARD REPUBLIC Of CHINA

benefited UNNECESSARILY by the con
duct of her strong and faithful neigh
bor-the United States. If, for ex-
ample, your country had been indiner-
ent or passive fifty years ago TO what
then occurred in Mexico, that coun'
try would have come under the rule
OF the French dynasty and the greed
of the ambitious Louis Napoleon
would have been gratified. Mexico
should be grateful for the friendship
and the helpful protection OF the
United States as given TO her at that
time.
Now it is not going too far to say
that very good parallel can be
drawn between the relation at pres
ent existing between Japan and China
and that guiding the conduct OF the
United States toward Mexico in the
past, the only noticeable difference
being In the relative magnitudes and
resources of the nationalities Of the
Far East. China has been supported
either directly or indirectly by Japan
for long time Had this not been
the case. the ancient Chinese empire
nov the newest repuDiic--would
have collapsed and would have suf
fered dissolution or partition long be

Japan has never attempted or de
sired TO do away with the sovereign
integrity aud national Independence
OF China Even the ChinaJapan wal
of lS945 was fought. above all else
for the sake of the self-prescryatlor
OF the japanese nationality.
THE course of the recent interna
tional affairs between Japan ant
China seems to have occasioned some
severe criticisms in parts of the west
but the diplomatic motives and tn
conduct of the discussions have beef
right and very Just.

,W NsS"rinted Press.I
SAN FRANCISCO, August 9.--The
conduct Of Japan toward China is ex-
planned especially for American un-
Outstanding by Count Okuma, the Jap
anese PREMIER in message which
has been given to the Associated
Press offices here by Dr. Clay Nc
Cauley an American clergyman and
author, who for many years has been
a resident of Toxic and an active
leader in the American and Japanese
peace societies.
Count Okuma is said to desire
greatly that the American understand
ing of Japan's relations with China
be clarified in some particulars, and
Or, McCauley, who has enjoyed close
personal acquaintance with the pre-
mier, undertook to crafty the latter's
wish by reporting a summary of half
2n.hour's interview which he had with
Count Okuma. through an interpreter.
This summary is described by DR..
McCauley as faithful one. but not
an effort TO reproduce the counts re.

The rise OF Japan" the premier
began, has induced some concern and
aroused some unrest in the west In
the histories of nations we see that
oflen. with the genesis and growth OF
a new nationality. violent aggressions
accompanied by various barbarities
and sometimes atrocities, have
marked their advance. II Is nor 10 be
wondered at therefore. that the rise
and expansion of Japan has drawn &c
its people a suspicious attention in
the west, especially since tht passing
of the China-Japan war 20 years ago
And. now. world attention is beinl
given to the course of diplomatic re
lations that have arisen between tbs
two countries. But the intelligent
classes of Americans may easily I'm
derstand the peculiar position il
which Japan has been placed by thu
movement of events in the far east.

After a deiiberation of about three
hours and half. the jury in the case
of John c. Watkins last night returned
a verdict of murder In the second de-
gree, and gave the accused term
of eighteen years in the Penitentiary
Watkins shot and killed his sweet
heart, Hester Dodson, at her home

the shooting. He remembered coins
to the house and talking with Miss
Dodson. but could recall nothing which
led up to the shooting. He said he had
carried a pistol in his pocket several
months because ne lived in an isolate1
section OF the city and felt he might
need IL for his own protection.
The case brought out many sad
features. Watkins Il, still a minor. and
up to the time of the homicide had
conducted himself in a quiet and
orderly manner. He admitted that
he was very much in love with ms
Victim. and had intended marrying
her in June. 1t was shown that she
had reciprocated his affections. except
in the course Of love. everything do
not run smoothly all the time. They
had a quarrel about rivals aud other

The instructions were wide. The
Jury could have given the accused one

0fncers Say.

Physicians' reports 20 the State
Board of Health for April show I42
new cases OF typhoid fever In the small
towns and rural districts of Virginia
during tho month. as compared with
los cases for April, 1914. Taking into
account the probable cases in the prac-
fiee of physicians who have not report
I'd, these figures would indicate a total
of sal new cases for April. 1915. as
against 29s for April. 1914.
Health officers are not satisfied with
this showing, and today issued q special
bulletin In which they pointed out the
Sanger to the health of the state
from the spread OF typhoid through
sariy cases. This bulletin reads In part
IS follows;
The presence OF a3i cases OF typhoid
fever in the state at this season of the
year Is seriosu primarily for what may
follow possible neglect of these cases

fions on farms and In small towna

that even where there Is adequate care

fever and have apparently recovered

Where sanitary arrangements are un-
satisfactory. these carriers poliuts the
