JAP TO WAR ZONE.
Will Also Come Here to Investigate
 Naval Affairs.

Tokio, March 24-Rear Admiral s. fairs bureau at the navy department, , has been ordered to proceed to Flu rope on the mission of inspecting the naval conditions of the belligerent Countries. Afterward he will visit the United States. He will start on his mission March 20 by way of Siberia, accompanied by Commander K Yamanashi.
 | This is the first Japanese naval mission to inspect the situation in the theater of war. Talking of his as signment, Rear Admiral Akiyama said: The object lies in the inspec- ton of military and technical affairs in the belligerent zone. My trip will cover about seven months. I shall first go to Russia and then visit Eng land, France and Italy through Swe- den. Thence I intend to go to the Balkans and also visit Egypt. Later shall cross over to the United States and study naval affairs there before returning home As to the activities of the German navy I expect to make a study of it from Sweden"
 Rear Admiral Akiyama is known as one of the ablest officers of the Jap- anese navy. His fame was established In the Rosso- Japanese war when he twas chief of staff of the combined squadrons under Admiral Togo. Com mander Yamanashi who accompan- les Admiral Akiyama on the tour Is also an able and promising officer. He rendered service in successfully conducting the joint operations of the Japanese and British fleets at Tsing-tau,- being chief of staff of Admiral Kato.

the territorial waters of the United States. There have been various in- dications in official quarters that the United States may decide to reduce the present limit, which provides that merchant ships may carry guns at the stern of not more than slX inches in caliber and still be defen- sively armed. There has been no sug~ gestion that the United States would decide that all armament is offen- sive armament.
 Instructions given to the comman- ders of armed merchantmen also probably will be considered in the announcement. The safety of pass ped by submarines will be touched upon. The United States will insist upon proper precautionary measures being taken and may define what those measures should be.
 A portion of the document also probably will have to do with the raising of national flags by sub marines which approach vessels. The United States probably will insist that subm arines conform in this re- spect to the practices of cruiser war fare The subject of central band and on-contraband cargoes, both in neu tral and in belligerent ships, also may be discussed along with various other details. The United States has interest in these matters because the rights and property of American cit izens are involved. It is with he

 of Maderia the iAppam was sighted. After long deliberation, in view of the fact that she had bullion and passengers on board, I signalled her to stop immediately. As the cap- tain did not obey, I fired a single warning, upon which the steamer halted.
 When we steamed over to the left of the Appam we noticed sailors who were about to direct cannon against us. These sailors were driven away by rifle fire. At first panic reigned on the Appam, which only ceased when our prize crew calmed the people. On board the Appam. we found chests of gold in the safe. These we carried with us to Ger many"

PRACTICAL WORK
 FOR H. s. STUDENTS
Mill Gain Experience by Working
 in Factory Offices

Comm ercial students in the senior class of the Vocational High school will have the benefit of practical as well as theoretical training, if a plan being suggested to the manufacturers and business men of the city is re- ceived with favor. It will also intro duce the part-time school to New Britain, a system of modern education which is attaining fine results in other places.
 Professor J. c. Moody, head of the commercial department of the Voca- tional High school, fathers the idea, which he believes will prove of mutual benefit to all concerned. It is not pro- posed that the students shall be paid for their office work, which will be considered as part of their training.
 Four or five of the commercial stud ents are already engaged in this part time work and it has proved so feas- ible that it is hoped the plan may be greatly extended. '~
 Principal Moody's letter to the manufacturers suggesting the plan follows:
 March 22, 1916. Dear Sir: a.r
 We propose 10 try plan whereby We are to allow m nembers of our senior class in the commercial department to go into the local offices for part-time work. The plan, if carried out ought to be of mutual benefit to an parties concerned.
 The pupil will have the most practi-- cal kind of training. The employing offices and the school will be brought into very close touch with each other, condition of things which is bound to result in a much better product. If the plau should be put into operation we should consider the experience gained by the pupils as sufficient re- muneratfon for his services.
 Would you be interested to have such an arrangement in your office? If so, should be glad to give you the de- tails of the plan. Very truly yours,
 .... J. c. MOODY,
 Head of Commercial Department

]. 5. STAND 0N THE
 SUBMARINE ISSUE
Circular May Be Addressed to All
 Foreign Powers

Washington, March 24-The United
 States soon will make for the infor-
 nation of the nations of the world
 a complete statement of its position | Tn regard to the conduct of subma- rlne warfare and the arming of mcr- 1 chant ships for defensive purposes.
 It has not been definitely determin- l ca Just what form the announce
 ment will take, but it is considered
 not unlikely that a circular mem
 crandum may be addressed to the | powers. Whatever the form of the declaration, prepared after careful consideration to all the claims made by both sets of European beliger- entS, it will serve to guide the course of this government in future nego- tiations. The United States will stand unalterably upon the principles al- ready laid down.
 Coming from the most powerful of the neutral nations. at a time when all the other great world powers are at war, the pronouncement may fur nish the ground work for new in- ternational law to be developed af-
 ter the war which will provide for the use of submarines in naval war fare.
 Lansing Studying Problems. Secretary Lansing returned to Washington yesterday after spend ing a fortnight at Pinehurst, N. C., During his absence from the capital he has had under consideration a great volume of data regarding sub marines and armed ships. He gave careful study to the intricate prob l lens involved and nearly all his l working hours are understood to 1 have been devoted to the subject in an effort to reach conclusions just and fair to all concerned and which | no nation successfully could chal- | lenge. Only few minor points, it | is understood, now remain to- be de- 1 termined upon. The conclusions
 reached by, the secretary will be
 carefully discussed by him with ! President Wilson before they are put 1 into the form in which they will | reach foreign governments.
 l It is considered improbable in off, 1 cial and diplomatic circles that the
 announcement will be made before
 the political situation in Germany resulting from the retirement of Ad- miral Won Tirpitz has been clarified. ] It is not believed the administration
 would be willing to issue a statement l defining it's position at time when such an action might be used in
 political way by factions in a nation
 with which it is negotiating. That I a definition of defensive armament
 will occupy a prominent position in
 the declaration, whatever it's form, 1 is virtually certain.
 To Limit Defensive Armament Limitations of defensive armament
 may be described, and these will
