PAYS HOMAGE TO PERRY
Japanese Mission Places Wreaths on
Grave of Naval Hero

Newport, Il. l., Sept 1.-THE Jap
anese mission to the United States
came here Sunday to do homage to
the grave of Commodore Matthew
Galbraith Perry, who opened the door
OF the Island Empire to the influences
Of western civilization 60 years ago.
The vieount bowed profoundedly
before he entered the cemetery
through a lane of apprentice seamen
and naval reserves standing at pre-
sent arms, while a band from the
training station played the national
hymn. A great crowd barred their
heads as Viscount lshii placed large
wreath on the tomb of the commo-
dore.
The visconnt bowed proloundedly
before the tomb and resumed his place
in the semfoircle formed by other
members of the mission and naval
officers. One by one each member OF
the mission stepped forward silently
and bowed low before the grave. As
the last one paid his tribute Bishop
James DeWolf Perry of the Episcopal
diocese OF Rhode island offered a
brief prayer Then the entire assem-
bly, stood at attention while the band
once more played the Japanese ma
tional anthem and the Star Spangled
Banner"

with the draft the plan of continuing
examinations has many advantages
and some drawbacks, particularly the
probability that men who might now
be exempted would later find them

warrant their service with the colors.
But II was pointed out that all dis

sack movement, which yesterday ap-
peared to threaten the existence of
the Russian Provisional Government,
has passed the serious stage, accord
ing TO information received today by
the Russian Embassy. Although the
strong leaning of the COssacks toward
korniloff still may cause sporadic
outbreaks it is believed there is no
longer any danger of a concerted
move on their part to seize the Gov
ernmenG
The Embassy also received most re
assuring reports OF the restoration Of
discipline in the army. The return of
Alexieff to the chief command has
created enthusiasm at every front It
was stated, and even the Cossaek
followers Of Korniloff see in Alexieff
an able captain and a proved leader
in the field The Embassy has receiv-
ed no report, and apparently there is
no confirmation Of u report printed by
a Danish newspaper to the effect that
Alexieff had committed suicide after
ninterview with Kerensky.
Many new Generals are being APP
pointed on the western front, and it
is believed the new generalissimo is
bringing about the reorganization Of
the army with as much despatch as
possible. Cable messages from Petro-
grad say the situation is clearing
even more rapidly than was hoped,
and add that the Russian armies at
the front occupy as good positions as
they did before the start of the
abortive Korniloff, even having made
some gains in one or two offensive
thrusts.
Officials OF the embassy express the
belief that the whole Korniloff move
ment might have bee naverted before
it grew serious had the right selec.
ton Of emissaries been made By Korn
loft Inability OF the men sent to
explain the position Of the troops
clearly and consequent misunder
standing among all persons concerned
are blamed for the attitude of def
ance assumed by the former comman-
der in chief and the refusal of Keren
sky to entertain any suggestion OF
Gerensky to entertain any suggestion
OF further parleys.
