Japan FAITHFUL TO
ALLIES, SAYS 0kUhA
Denounces Efforts TO Create
Agitation Against Britain.

Toxic, March 1.-THE recent criti-
cism in the press OF the Anglo-Jap-
snese alliance induced Premier Count
Okuma to-day 70 condemn what he
characterized as petty efforts to create
ar agitation against Great Britain. The
Premier declared unequivocslly that
there would be no wavering in Japan's
fidelity 10 the alliance.
II is the belief OF the japanese For
eign Minister, Baron Ishii, that "a
certain European power in the past
has endeavorei TO create differences
between Japan and the United States
10 further its own ends.
The Foreign Minister, before the
Association OF Americas Friends, gave
IL IS his opinion that the efforts OF
this European power were exerted for
the purpose Of serving It's own aspirs-
tons for dominance. As that power Is
now occupied with It's own troubles
the baron sold, the source Of intrigue
has been removed.
Relations between Japan and Amer
ica have never been 30 good as to-day
he continued, end their friendship will
become even more cordial, as should
be the case.
The Semi-oficial newspapers poin,
out that there lie no reason at present
why Japan should emphasize the ex-
cellent relations with America. but they
assert that there has been German in
trigue for the purpose Of affecting this
country's relations with both America
and Great Britain, and that It is neces.

SLOWLY LEARNING
NEUTRAL ATTITUDE
First Thought Republic Warm
Friend, and Just Getting
Over Disappointment.

Toronto. March ll.-During the wars
early stages, every United States visl-
tor assured Canadians that 80 per cent
OF the American people were heart and
soul with them in the fight
1t is a question whether these assur-
ances did not lead 10 misunderstand-
ing. To-day there is probably bet
ter understanding Of our neighbours
attitude. AS q result, whether Canad-
isns are as pleased with Americans &c
they once were, there IL much less dis
position 70 csvil at President Wilson
or the American people.
The lack OF comment from Canadian
papers and Canadian speakers regard
ing American affairs has been so no
tieesbe that it is almost impossible 70
escape the deduction that it comes az a
result Of some sort Of official action.
At ell events, for months past there
have been no Ill tempered references
to American affairs and scarcely any
reference Of any kind.
A significant article appeared this
week In "The Toronto News" undoubt-
eddy from the pen OF its editor, Sir
John Wilson, one Of the foremost fig
ures in Canadian journalism and a
close conhdant and adviser OF the pres
ent Canadian administration. Sir John
has recently returned from a visit
across the border and. in a compre-
hensive article discusses the American
situation. The article is exceedingly
friendly, but reveals, TO some extent

the prejudices Of the constituency -
which il is addressed. Ii comments on
the criticism of President Wilson as
feeble and vacillating and on the in
frequency OF bursts OF cheering tina,
greeted the American Legion in the re-
cent big military parade IN Toronto
last week.
Sir John defends President Wilson
from the charges OF weakness and
vaeillation. arguing that his Mexican
policy and his European policy have
met the requirements OF the people OF
the United States. Evidence of positive
strength he finds In Mr.. Wilson's ac-
tion on the Panama Canal question AM
on the release of ,.r. Bryan.
I'm his oppos ton to many American
politicians in their contempt OF inter
national law. 10 warn Americans of
Allied merchant vessels with defensive
armament, he is showing much resolu-
tion,' Sir John declares. rs IL certain
that any considerable element OF the
American people desired a protest from
Washington against Germany's inva-
sion of Belgium? Or would the Ameri-
can people have sanctioned s war with
Germany over the sinking Of the Lusi-
tania?"
These are the chief points on which
Canadians were misled by friendly
American visitors early in the war.
Canadians. returning from England,
report that the attitude Of Britain tow
ard the United States-the determined
friendship" to which Sir Edward Grey
referred early in the wars based. 10

The Jap is always polite. but once

when he does he is Up asainst i, for

When a Japanese meets You he bows
three times and takes on his hat. but
does not shake hands. When he greets

one Japanese to meet another without

league star who had batted his way
into an engagement with the Pirates:
when a big league BAN club goes
into a city ana stops at hotel on the
European plan the players are allowed
a certain sum of money for their meals.
II win average about 81 a meal. ! guess

er the money. and be can eat when
and where and how he pleases, and
tIlat ends the matter. But we stop at
American plan hotels in some Of the
cities on our circuit.
Now. the busher I referred TO was
IN the dining room early and often
when we were quartered at American
plan hotels Aud how he could eat.
Why. say. he was the best ever. He
Kept a walter busy bringing food 70 his
table.
But when we were stopping at a
European hotel and the secretary OF
the club handed out meal money Mr.
Busher didn't g0rmandize quite SO
much He hunted up the cheapest
place be could ind and ate the cheap
est food they had in the restaurant
Well. the gang was wise to the re

10 return 10 the secretary all money
not spent for meals. Then the veteran
waIlsed over to the see and. with a
wink, handed over a roll Of bills Right
away over trotted the busher.

meal money. but I'll have to owe It to
