WSCOUNT OURA, IN SCANDAL, TO
 GIVE UP TITLES
Former Japanese Official Will Seek Seclusion For
 Remainder of Life.

Tokto, Sept. 1O.-To divest himself of all titles and honors and to retire into seclusion probably for the rest of his life, is the punishment that has fallen on Viscount Kanetake Oura, home minister in the Okuma cabinet, whose connection with the parHame en- tary bribery scandal led to the resig- nation of the Okuma ministry. The lot of viscount Oura is typically rep resentative of that which befalls one of distinction in Japan whose acts have caused a national scandal.
 In addition to resigning his port foho in the cabinet and his seat in has withdrawn from all public associ- ations and activities including his leadership in the governmental Doshikai group and has even trans ferred his title to his heir. He is ex- pexted to pass the remainder of his dals in obscurity. His fall is all the greater when 1t is borne in mind that as fhome minister he would have been a leading figure in the great eorona- ton festivities in November and for his services would have been granted enviable honors subsequent to the corporation.
 Viscount Oura has occupied a fore most position on the political stage of Japan fot many years. His life en1bodies a rise from humble cir cumstances to great honors by ca pacity and energy. He began as a sergeant in the Tokio police forces when the modern police system was inaugurated in 1871. He rose rapid

 Hungary took considerable territory from Turkey with the annexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, while Ger
 many permitted the further reduction | of the Ottoman Empire after the late
 Balkan war and accepted with com placency the Italian conquest of Trip | oli, which was all that was left of the Ottoman Empire in North Africa.
 All this, 1t is argued, was no dem onstration of friendship the part of Turkeys present allies It is point ed out, however, that there are miti- gating circumstances. The articles
 say that after all there has been no real understanding between Germany and Turkey before this war. What

 had ceased, of course, and the efforts of the late Baron Marschan won Bieberstein to effect an understand ing between the new regime in Tur- key and Germany, while not unsuc- 1 cessful. had, nevertheless, not been brought to fruition-
 On the other hand, the articles say, it was 8, fact that in the past the
 Turkish people had leaned decidedly towards France and England, tend ency which had not favored closer relations with Germany and Austria Hungary. But the present war had
 shown that Turkey har had no friends anywhere in the past Germany and Austria-Hungary had, made no great pretense that they 1 were Turkeys friends, and France and England, who had avowed warmest friendship for Turkey had since then been prov

TURKISH PAPERS
 FORSEE VICTORY. PLANNING FUTURE
Look to Present Allies To Aid in Economic Develop
 ment of Nation.

Constantin ople. Sept. 10-Taking it for granted that Turkey will emerge victorious from the present war, a number of promine1.r Turkish news papers have recently occupied them selves seriously with the future inter national relations of the Ottoman Empire-> What the wishes of Turkey are in this respect may be said to have been ably epitomized in two leading articles of the Tanin a Union and Progress daily with tendencies of it's own even in these days of censor ships and governmental surveillance of the press.
 For reasons none too obvious, the leaders. of the Tanin coupled the ab- sence of the German Ambassa dor. Baron von Wagenheinn, on a vaca- ton and the temporary occupancy of his post here by Prince Hohenlohe- Langenburg, with their study of the subject. The Tanin remarks that Baron von Wangenheim, through his work with the Turkish statesmen, was an important factor in the al hance (between Turkey and Ger many) now existing and that cit would be too great a, task to enumer- ate the facts proving that Baron von Wangenheim, owing to his remarka- ble persp1cacity, had come to know Turkey in very little time" The in ference is that Ambassador won Wan genheim would during his vacaton de- vote much of his time to further strengthening of the bonds between Germany and Turkey.
 In the articles dealing with future relations between Turkey and the countries on whose sidelit is fighting, the premises taken are about these:
 we are now sharing the fortunes Of war of Germany and Austria-EIt1n- gary. what will these countries do after the war to aid Turkey in it's effort to develop economically and in so doing become a state whose voice must be needed in the future'
 With great frankness the articles complain that Germany and Austria Hungary have not always been the

ducts would be possible.
 Premature as such measures may appear in the Entente countries, it is "a fact, nevertheless, that Turkish statesmen have for some time occu- pied themselves seriously with the making of suitable commercial trea- ties with the German and Austrian governments. In some quarters the opinion is held that this has been done because at present it might be possible to secure terms which later on would be harder to obtain. At any rate, say others, the activity dis played by the Turkish ministers augurs well for the future of Tur- key, because it shows that the desire to care for the future has for once been felt by those responsible for the fate of the Ottoman empire
 Needless to say, economic rap proachments now affected between Turkey and Germany and Austria Hungary, would leave little for France, England, Italy and all oth- CTS. Turkey is ready to exlude every body provided she can make advan- tageous bargains with the two Central Powers.
 While 1t can not be said that the position of Germany and Austria Hungary in Turkey Is unshakabIe as yet, it must also be borne in mind that every effort is being made to make it that.

ly until, resigning his post, he entered the army and took part in the For mosan expedition in 1874. He later was engaged in the Satsuna rebel lion. After holding a succession of civil offices he became governor of various prefectures and in 1899 was appointed to the important post of superintendent-gen of police. Two years later he was recognized as a ministerial timber and became min ister of communications in the Kat sura cabinet. It was about this time that the title of viscount was con- ferred upon him.
 He became very active as a sup porter of Prince Katsura in the for nation and extension of influence of the Doshikai party, the leadership of which he shared with Baron Kato, minister for foreign affairs.
 Viscount Oura is known to many people in Great Britain in conse- quence of his visit there in 1910 as president of the Ang1o-Ja.panese 'ex- hibition. While in Europe he made an investi gation into the reputation of Japanese merchants abroad. It is re- called that upon his return to Japan he delivered some very caustic criti- cisrn to Japanese merchants concern = ing their commercial morality and urged an immediate reform.
 If the political crisis created by the resignation of the Okumaf cabi- net shows the extent of political intrigue in Japan and has shocked Japanese because of the revelation of bribery, it has at the same time been an occasion of considerable rejoicing. This is due to the fact that the inde- pendence of the Japanese Judiciary has been established in a way to sat isfy the sA2st exacting. It is pointed out that had the Okuma cabinet not been honest it might have used it's inSI1ence to smother the judicial in quiry into the bribery scandal. How ever, despite the fact that the investi- gation must. Inevitably lead to the collapse of the ministry, the inquiry under the direction of MT. Ozaki, the minister of justice, was pushed on to the end.
 The Japanese press finds great con- soIation in this proof of the fact that the Judiciary is independent and free. It Is regarded as the saving feature of the situation and something that entities Japan to the respect of for eign peoples.
