JAPAN GRATEFUL FOR AMERICAN
 HOSPITALITY

TOKYO, Oct. 13-The cordial reCep- tion given to the Viseount Ishii in the United States caused favorable impression throughout Japan and has called forth appreciative comment.
 The semi-official Japan Times re- gards the reception as unprecedented in Japanese experience in it's hearty cordiality, honor and respect paid and in the enthusiasm of it's demonstra- tion. The newspapers adds: "The Embassy's journey from Honolulu to Washington has indeed been a veri- table series of royal receptions in the best sense of the term, in which em- bodied American hospitality and sin cerity on most generous and majes- tic scale, for which the Americans are traditionally noted. All this is most gratifying to Japan and the Jap anese. The honor done to Viscount Ishii has been done to Japan and the Japanese. Japan and the Japanese cannot but feel and appreciate most profoundly the expressions of the cor dialiest friendship and of the reality of war time alliance made through Viscount Ishii."

 In front of the Royal Palace here is an esplanade where 5O,O0O people have demonstrated during the recent troubles over King Constantine. This is now given over at night to the cine mas, with enormous crowds at the small tables, and no charge except for a drink. There are three per formances, with some 10000 people at each. And thus, 30,O00 people take an hours French lesson nightly at this one spot.

STEEL NETS BAR ARE SET FUR
 SUBS

' CORFU, Oct. 15- Travel in the eastern Mediterranean during these war days is no easy matter, for the usual routes of travel are now barred by long lines of steel nets, set to catch submarines but at the same time establishing a vast labyrinth of danger and obstruction to any sort of travel. The nets stretch clear across the main channels, from is- land to island, and from the shore is- lands to the mainland, sometimes ten and fifteen miles away. Through this line of nets the privileged steamer for all the regular lines are abandon ed-must pick it's way, during the brief interval that an opening is made daily to permit the passage of friend ly shipping.
 Seen from the steamer these tor pedo nets stretch away for miles. The visible part above water con sists of a steel cylinder, about twelve feet long and three feet in diameter, like a good-sized log. These are chain ed together about thirty feet apart, and at intervals of every three hun dred feet a large anchored buoy holds the chain in an unbroken straight line. Thus the chain runs for miles cylinders and buoys-with the mesh es of steel net hanging under the wa ter from the chain, to gather in the submarines just as fishermen make their hauls of herring.
 One gets occasional glimpes of this underwater net, as it comes to the surface on the station ships. These are small trawlers, or steam fish. launches, every mile or two apart and two of them are at either side of the narrow passage admitting friendly ships. It is their business to raise the net at stated intervals and to look over the papers of the ships that pass.
 AS we moved through the passage the steel net was plainly visible to us drawn up on the station ship. It looked to be about 12 to Is feet across and the strands of steel were very heavy-about one-eighth inch and the mesh rather open, as a submarine Is such large game that fine net is not needed to take it. It was seen, al. so, that each of the station ships had its own armor of steel nets. Long iron rods extended form the upper decks, from which hung the nets, making a curtain of steel entirely circling each boat, thus protecting it form attack while it remain in charge of the nets. Each ship. too, 1t was noted had a rapid fire gun mounted fore and aft.
 One line of these nets stretched from the upper end of the island of Corfu over to the mainland of Alban. ia; It seemed endless, and its further reaches were lost in the distance. Another line swung around the har. Dor of Corfu, where the allied war ships are gathered and the govern ment of Serbia is located since it was driven from home. Further south a third line of these nets extends from the southernmost point of the island over to the mainland. Back of the nets could be seen the huge warships and the frowning Actresses construc- ted on the heights by the Venetians. It seemed strange that strands of steel wire would protect such fortresses and monster ships, and it indicated to what an extent wire entangle ment-on land and water has taken its place for the first time in this war.

MEXICO CITY, Aug. 11.-That ama- teur sport is flOurishing in the Mexi- can capital is shown by the fact that there are 102 organized amateur base ball hines in the city and its suburbs and over 50 soccer football teams. The season for all varieties of sport in Mexico lasts F months year. as the climate permits play at all times. Even during the rainy season the mornings are almost always clear and sunshiny and the nature of the soil and the high, dry atmosphere makes delay on account of wet grounds al most unknown.
 No regular league series are played by the baseball clubs but short series between three or more selected teams are arranged from month to month. The games usually are played Sunday morning or on feast days and holi- days and as a general thing no ad- mission is charged.
 Many of the larger athletic clubs and colleges and professional schools have three or four teams each, the first teams drafting players from the lesser teams as they are developed.
