Zimmerman letter was published.

administration officials. who declared
their conviction that the proposed
plot had proven a total failure They
asserted that the net result OF the
German move would be the drawing
closer together of Mexico anc tho
United States and Japan and the
United States and the clearing up OF
many matters in dispute between
these nations.
Washington officials smiled broad

Minister Zimmerman that the United
States had planned Pan American
alliance against Germany. 1t was re-
called that the conference OF Ar1eri-

charge was called for commercial rea-

HOLD CRITICISM
OF IMMIGRATION .
MEN UNF0UMED

Immigration officials explain that
the criticism by the Ntppu jill regard
| ing the treatment Of different classes
G. Japanese immigrants is probably
due TO a misunderstanding.
The Ave japanese women school
teachers who were detained by the
immigration officials on the charge
that they were contract laborers were
not released by the immigration ac'
thorities, but by Federal Judge Hoarce
". Vaughan on bond, after an uniaT'
orable decision to their entry to THIS
country had been made by him, Due
to this decision they appealed 10 the
circuit court of appeals In California
Y. Negishi, who came here to ac-
cept a position with the Yokohama
Specie Bank, was also detained on
the charge that he was a contract
laborer. But as he came as caDlu
passenger, and, as customary In such
cases, he was paroled until decision
was reached regarding his entry to
this country. The school teachers
came as steerage passengers and are
held not to come within the classic
cation of certain immigrants who are
granted entry.
Such exceptions are made in the
case of professors, teachers of sem
inarfes, ministers and others whose
qualifications are mental and not
physical. But to gain entry to tbs
United States for this class Of immf
grants applications haze to he made
to the secretary of commerce and la
Dor.
Applications for the entry Of the Ave
teachers we've not filed, and it Is held
that they are only grammar and kin
dergarten teachers, and not in the
seminary classification.
incidentally, it Is pointed out By
others than the immigration people
that as there are Japanese women
available to teach In the public
schools, there should also be plenty
here to teach in the Japanese schools
if the school patrons are willing to
pay the salaries required by the 10
cally educated teachers.

FAST SHIPS WILL

! Lord NorthclitfP, asked by The New

| submarine menace, granted an inter.
view to a Sun representative, who
quotes Lord Northcliffo as saving:
Let the nited States and her al
| lies make no mistake about the fact
! that the submarine is the most ser,
! ious feature Of the war It this moment.

the var by tho submarine, out she
can and will-if you do not exert every
| means in your power-silk your trans
ports and supply ships.
The figures issued every week are
not Intentionally misleading, but that
| they do mislead people not acquainted
with shipping Is obvious from the lack
of attention paid to the submarine in
this country. believe that constant
statements about the sinking Of sub
marines are source Of danger: thev
deter your inventors from using their
genius; and they help the enemy by
inspiring confidence that has no jus
LITIGATION. At one time our rcwspa-
pers were filled with the same kind Of
stories. When a submarine is fired at
it dives, and it is only natural that the
gunner should believe that-he has been
successful, whereas in the majority OF
cases the submarine escapes unhurt.
The present system of publishing sub
marine figures by Great Britain was
adopted long ago. and it is possible
that Admiral Geddes, perhaps the
most remarkable product of the war
in Great Britain. may see fit to issue
them in the language Of the people.
