 PEACE WITH JAPAN
COUNT oKUMA ANNOUNCES VAL LIABLE CONCESSIONS WILL
 BE OBTAINED.

Tokio.-Confrmatio of reports that Germany has been unsueeessfully trying to conclude a separate peace with Japan was made by Count Oku- ma. the premier. iu an interview with representative of the KokumIn Shimbun on January 5. The premier believed this indicated that Germany was showing certain signs Of suffer ing, chiefly as a result of the weak ened condition of her finances.
 While no details of the peace nego- tiations were made public, the pre- mier said it was hardly necessary to announce that Japan would adhere 10 the London peace declaration by which she had agreed not to make a separate peace.
 Criticism in some quarters has arisen because Japanas adhesion Co the London peace declaration was un- dertaken by the government without consultation with the privy council, but in defending the governments ac- tion Count Okuma declared it was q natural result of the declaration of war by Japan upon Germany.
 'The fact" he said. that the anti Japanese sentiment in Canada, the United States, Australia and other countries has gradually subsided and is being replaced with favorable sentiment towards Japan is due to our acts by loyalty to pledges"
 At the same time the premier made the important announcement that Ja- pan is about to obtain from Russia certain concessions in forestry, mln- ing and other industries in the north ern half of Saghalien Island which Is owned by Russia. The southern half of this island was acquired by Japan at the conclusion of the Russo-Japa- nese war.

 The administration opponents, while they conceded they expected the Nica- raguan convention would go through, reiterated they would prevent ratifi- cation of the Colombian treaty to pay an indemnity and express regret for the partition of Panama.
 The Niearaguan treaty proposes to pay Nicaragua $3,000.000 for inter- ocean canal rights and naval bases in the Bay of Fonseca. Protests against the naval base feature have been made by Salvador, which con tends it would violate the sovereignty of Honduras.
 Assurances to Costa Rica, Salvador and Honduras that none of their rights will be violated by the United States acquiring q naval base in the Bay of Fonseca will be incorporated in the ratification resolution on the Niearaguan treaty which the Senate is expected to pass.

GERMAN CRISIS IS
 BELIEVED PASSED
APPAM CASE PRACTICALLY ENDS "DETAILS NOT ARRANGED
 U. S. DEMANDS ARE HELD.

Washington. - When Count Von Bernstorff called to confer with See retary Lansing on the Lusitania ne- gotiations he presented formal communication from his government contending that under the Prussian= American treaty the British liner Alp pam, German prize in Hampton Roads, should be permitted to remain in American waters indefinitely.
 At the conclusion of the confer enee Count Von BernstoTff said:
 Everything is substantially all right, but it is not finished"
 Secretary Lansing, in reply to in- quirers, sent word from his office that the negotiations had not advanced much
 It was learned that some altera- tions which concern the form of the agreement and are regarded as minor ones are now to be made. and that the change involves sending the pro posed agreement to the Berlin foreign office.
 Although Count Von Bernstorff has been negotiating with the greatest latitude up to this point, now that the questions involved concern the form and final wording of the agree ment between the two countries, every change, no matter of how minor a nature, must be submitted to Der lin.
 In the opinion of German officials, those changes which now are to be made do not alter the effect ar sub stance of the agreement, and they will be accepted by the Berlin foreign office.
