ISHN IS REJO|CED
BY CHINA COMPACT
Thinks 1t Assures Continued
Friendship Between United
States and Japan.
HIS farewell STATEMENT

The following statement by viscount
Ishii, head OF the Japanese special mis-
sion. was given out by the Japanese em-
bassy today:
My final departure from Washington
affords a fit occasion for me to express
once more to the American people my
deep sense OF gratitude for the cordial re-
ception and hospitality accorded to the
special mission Of Japan. The spontaneous
and enthusiastic manifestations Of friend
ship and good will toward us on all hands
have profoundly impressed not only the
members of the mission. but the whole
japanese people. The kindly feeling and
fraternal spirit always existing between
the two nations have never been more
emphaticsIly testified to.
Has Tried to Be Frank.
believing as 1 do in frank talking, !
have tried as best 1 could, in my pub
lie utterances in this country. to tell
the truth and the facts about my coun-
try. the aspirations and motives which
spur my nation. For. to my mind, 1t Ia
Misrepresentation and the lack OF in
formation that allow discordance and
dfstrust to creep in In the relationship
between nations. 1 am happy to think
that at a time when the true unity
and cooperation between the allied
nations are dire necessities 1t has been
given to me to contribute in my small
way to better understanding and ap-
probation among the Americans with
regard to Japan.
The new understanding in regard to
the line Of policy to be followed by
Japan and America respecting the re-
public of China augurs wei! for the un-
disturbed maintenance OF the hArmoni-
GUS accord and good-neighborhood be-
tween our two countries. 1t certain
ly will do away with all doubts that
have now and then shadowed the Japan
American relationship.
Defeats German Intrigue.
"It cannot fail to defeat for all time
the pernicious efforts of German agents,
to whom every new situation develop
ing in China always furnished 80 fruit
full a field for black Vaccinations.
For the rest, this new understanding
Of ours substAntiates the solidity of
comradeship which is daily gaining
strength among the honorable and
TT is a great pleasure for me to
add that this declaration has been
reached as an outcome OF free ex-
change Of frank views between the two
governments I cannot pay too high a
tribute to the sincerity and farsighted-
it was my privilege to associate in SO
pleasurAble way. It Is my arm be-
lief that so long as the two govern
ments maintain a perfectly apprecia-
long as there is no lack of statesman
ship to guide public opinion. the reign
OF peace and tranquility in our part OF
the world will remain unchallenged."

Cadorna viii Abandon
Tagliamento Line. Say
Advices Received Here

DISPATCHES received here today in
dictate that Gen Cadorna has aban-
doned his plans to seek to hold the
Austro-German army along the Tag
1iamento river. and is planning a re-
treat either to the Piave river or even
farther back into venetia.
It was pointed out that no official
statement from Italian military head
quarters has been made in reference
TO Gen. Cadornas intentions regarding
q line along the Tazltamento, or other
possibilities of his defense.

with the men lacking adequate guns
OF ammunition. is q better test Of the
6ber Of the men than actual fighting
would be.
ONE expert stated today that. in his
opinion. the retreat would not even
stop ut the Piave. but that lines would
be withdrawn to the Adige, in an ef-
fort to prepare for the spring drive.
This. It was stated. would require for
tituds on the part of the Italian peo-
pie. who would have to realize that
such = movement would be for the
ultimate safely Of Italy and the re-
plenishment Of the munitions and
other supplies Of her army.
Argument Against Movement.
An argument against the probability
Of such . movement Is that the Ital-
ians hold strongly fortified positions
on the Trentino front, and that region
is believed to be the destination of daily
endorsements from the British and
French armies. although only the bare
asatsmsnt that British and French
soldiers are arriving 10 contained in
would endanger the hardly won posi-
tions held on the Trentino front.
No Information has been received
here regarding the arrival Of muni-
lions or supplies from Great Britain
or France, other than those necessary
for the allied troops sent to the aid
Of italy. Such supplies have been
promised for the Italian army. and
some of Gen. Cadorna's maneuvers. 1t
was stated, may be accounted for on
the ground that he is awaiting the ar
rival Of this assistance before taking
any definite stand. The sooner this aid
comes. 1t was stated here. the sooner
he will be able to take his stand IN an
Advantageous position.
