An Appreciation

st. Joseph county has observed
the centennial of Indiana's admis-
sion to the federal union. The cele-
bration of Observance was q trcmen-
dOus success. People entered into
the spirit of the occasion with zeSt
and endeavored by individual effort
to make the affair all that was de-
sired. The weather was almost per-
feet. Thousands from other cities
did the county honor by accepting
the general invitation to be present.
The response was generous and APP
preciative.
The South Bends Indiana centen-
NAL association knows of no way,
except through the press, to express
to all. its real appreciation of the
cordial support il received. Ii
would gladly send letter of appre-
citation to each person but dares not,
for 80 many thousands contributed
so generously i'm labor and talent and
influence to success that il would
miss many. It, therefore. through
the courtesy of the press, extends its
deep. sincere and most earnest ap-
probation to all.
On nearly every side this assOcia-
ton received cordial, generous sup
port and most sincerely regrets that
il i not in a position TO extend go
each person or organization so freely
giving that support an individual
expression of its gratefulness for
participation, for support and for

WASHINGTON. Oct s. - Japan
intends to make concessions to pub
lie sentiment in the United States.
according to cable information
reaching a high diplomatic source
today. Within a short time the new
cabinet will issue a statement of in
tentions, which. officials who are
watching the situation very closely
here, say will be OF a most concil-
iatory character.
1t will defend the aggressive ac-
ton heretofore taken in China on
the ground il was necessary. owing
to the failure Of the Chinese govern
ment to rule certain provinces with
a strong hand, but will insist that
the open door policy. to which the
United States is pledged, will be
rigidly adhered to.
The action is due, the confidential
advices say, to the realization by
the Japanese officials that the ap-
pointment of Field Marshal Count
Seika Terauchi as premies, has
caused Unfavorable comment in this
country. The fact that the new
prime minister is the leader Of the
for increased expenditures for the
army and navy has made il plain TO
America that the new Japanese
policy is TO be strengthened SC far
as foreign relations are concerned.
But officials in diplomatic circles who
are in closest touch with the situa-
ton in Japan say that this policy
will not be aggressive in any way in
dealing with the United States.
Enjoying Prosperity.
II is pointed out that Japan at
present is enjoying unparalleled
prosperity. She is the only nation
that is a party TO the European war
which is not suffering from its eff
feCts Russia is being armed by
Japan and her recent successes are
due entirely to the supplies made
there and shipped across the trans
Siberia railway TO the eastern front.
These supplies are paid for in gold
and. in addition. Japan is making
great inroads into the trade Of South
America and the United States.
The japanese imports into this
country are Of every possible char
acter. The toy trade. formerly
monopolized by Germany. has passed
entirely into the hands Of the Jap
anese so far as the cheap grades are
concerned.
