GERMS IN COURT PLASTER.

Similarly, the Teutons may have
spread the germs of lockjaw in court
plaster recently found in the United
States to be infected.
Whether or not such a plot is dis
closed, the senate is promised an ex-

trying to stir up anti-American feeling
in Japan, and anti Japanese spirit in
this country. Niscount Ishii. now IN
the country with the Japanese com

showed the Austrian embassy to be

out documentary proof of its recent
