upon China.
While unwilling 10 begin serious

Mikado's government is involved in

said he was prepared TO resist the ag-

way for Japan TO avoid trouble is to
admit AT once the maintenance of the

The Japanese ambassador called at
the State Department this morning,
but the interview with the Secretary
was brief and formal.
No ultimatum IS necessary. since the
position of the United States was
stated long ago and Ambassador Guth-

ing with the Mikado's government.
