Corrects Press Statements
as to the Japanese Policy
Regarding Emigration to U. S.

Coincident with the arrival Of Baron
Sakatani. the japanese charge d'afraires,
Tokichi Tanaka, issued an Official state
ment to correct certain published state
ments regarding the policy of Japan in the
question Of emigration to the United
States and the alien land legislation in
California
He declared that Baron Sakatani, who
has suggested in speeches at New York
that Japan would take up the alien land
issue again as soon as the war was
over. was in no way authorized to
speak for the foreign Office. and was
discussing the question solely as an
influential statesman representing
large body Of Japanese public opinion
Baron Sakatani's Remarks.
Baron Sakatani, who stopped off In
Washington for several days while on
his way to Japan from the recent eco
nomic conference at Paris looking to a
commercial campaign after the war,
today deprecated the alarm expressed
by some American newspapers over
the Paris economic conference, declar-
ing the United States was regarded by
the allies in a most friendly way, and
that no move would be made by them
after the war which would be injuri-
Gus to American trade. Any action
taken. he said. would be entirely
Europe trade alliance.
The baron would not indicate what
he expected Japan's attitude would be
toward German trade In China after
the war, except to say that unfair Ger
man competition through limitations Of
japanese goods would not be allowed.
Views Not From Embassy.
The statement by the Japanese
charge d'affaires here is as follows:
"A press report concerning Japanese
American relations that appeared in
several papers this morning containing
views said to have emanated from this
embassy contained several misrepre-
sentations. Among other things, the
most glaring are statements concern
Ing the immigration and the California
land law matter.
"As to the question of the Japanese
immigration into this country, Japan
has for the present nothing whatever
to negotiate about.
Gentlemen's Agreement Observed.

Mr. Moran's Suggestion.

Another point which we might pre-
sent in urging the establishment Of the
armor plant here is that since this Is
the capital of the nation it is certain
to receive the greatest defense in the
event of war;" said Mr.. Moran. TT
is certain that the best defense will be
given to the capital Of the nation In the
event of war between this and any
other nation, and the armor plant would
receive this same protection"
Severl points to be incorporated in
the brief were presented by members
Of the committee. Announcement also
was made that the indfvfduals on the
committee have been getting into touch
with persons who could give expert
suggestions concerning the location OF
the armor plant. so as to receive any
help possible from these experts.
Individual efforts are to continue un-
til the next meeting Of the committee,
probably to be held next week. In the
meantime, however, Secretary Grant is
to work on the brief and incorporate
all feasible suggestions.

Tactical Success for Foe
in West Is Admitted by
Berlin Military Expert

BERLIN, September 2s. via London.
September 2s.-Maj. Moraht. the military
expert of the Tageblatt. discussing the
latest developments on the Somme front
contrasts the advance of the Anglo-Fren
with the 1915 offensive against Russia.
The French and British have gained about
nine miles on the front of twenty eight
in three months. he points out. whereas
the Germans and Austro- Germans gained
45 to IS miles. He continues:
I'VE should err in underestimatin9 the
effect of this tactical success OF the
enemy 1t grows in importance in view
of the bravery of the German troops de-
Tending Thiepval. and its Importance is
further increased because the allied COM
manders probably assumed that tactical
success was hardly to be expected there
since Field Marshal Won Hindenburg ap-
peared on the western front.

From a picturesque. though little

Mauthausen has become the clearing
of war.
It's peace-time population of few
hundred persons has grown to the size
of a small city, and each month there
pass through it, with a three weeks
stop for quarantine purposes, several
thousand Italian soldiers and several
hundred Italian officers.
The town consists OF group of pic

called the new city consists of acres

There were only some eight or ten
thousand italian soldiers interned in
the city" when the Associated Press
correspondent arrived to pay the camp
visit. Two days earlier there had
been $4,000, but the greater part OF
them had been sent out along their
way-to permanent camps in eastern
Austria and Hungary.
Daily there arrive at Mauthausen
some 5000 bulky parcels. or love
gifts" from relatives and friends in
Italy. The banking and bookkeeping
department of the camp has to main
tain a ledger with something over
$1,000 running bank accounts, the total
of which far exceeds a million crowns.
Each prisoner, wherever he may be, is
permitted to possess 10 crowns a week
for canteen spending money. All that
he receives from home over that goes
into his account. The actual handling
of cash devolves upon Austrian officers:
the bookkeeping is done by italian
prisoners OF war. who are thus in a
position to know that the funds OF their
compatriots are honestly and accurate
ly administered.

Genuine Sardines.

Genuine sardines are the young of
the pilchard. Their name comes from
the fact that they are most numerous
of the coast of Sardinia. They swim
in the spring in shoals containing mil
lions-fsh shaped shoals ten miles long
and half mile wide. The sardines are
netted and taken at once to the shore.
There they are washed. scraped and
sprinkled with salt. The salt is soon
removed, the heads and gills cut of
and there is another washing. Then,
on beds of green brush. the fish are
dried in the sun. Next they are boiled
in olive oil till cooked thoroughly. The
