Prompt Response Of America Starts
Cooperative Movement There.
Toxic, MAY 3.-The entrance of the
United States into the ranks OF the
entente allies has been greeted with
satisfaction by the Japanese. The
prompt action of. the United States in
mobilizing it's navy has given renewed
impetus In the movement to strengthen
the Japanese navy. The navy authori-
ties as well as many publicists are
gravely concerned over rapidly fall
ing off in the strength Of the Japanese
navy. They are urging an increase In
Japan's sea power for the purpose of
consolidating the national defense and
not necessarily for an aggressive pur-
pose.
The foreign office informed the
representative of the Associated Press
that Japan was not interfering in any
way with China's decision over enter
ing the war. IT is understood that
China, IL she joins the allies. wishes to
do so free OF conditions. At the SAND
time she has informed Japan that she
desires an increase In customs duties
and a postponement Of the Boxer In
demnity. The tariff question Is vital
one for Japan. but it IS believed the
matter will be settled by compro-
mise.

BITTER ATTACK ON WILSON.
German Leader in Reiohstag Says Di.
vision Of Teutons 10 Sought.

Amsterdam, via London, May 81
The German reichstag resumed its ses-
sion Yesterday. The president OF the
chamber, Dr. Johannes Kaempf, in his
opening address. speaking OF the entry
of the United States into the war, said
a new and mighty opponent had Joined
the ranks Of Germany,s enemies.
President Wilson In a message to
congress on April 2, he declared, said
he was waging war against the Ger
mans In the interests Of mankind and
on the ground Of justice.
President Wilson, DR.. Kaempf con-
tinued. had lost his sight in making
this assertion, since he had not stirred
a finger to hinder England when Eng
land announced Its war Of starvation
against Germany, a war In violation OF
all human and international rights;
President Wilson had lost his sight
when he rejected the German proposal
to secure the lives Of Americans on
American vessels in certain routes
which carried no contraband, and by
this rejection exposed his own COM
patriots to danger and death.
"osvmans Defend Freedom"
president Wilson," Dr.. Kaempf
saa.aa saa..aa. represents the German people
as without will OF their own and as
having besp driven into the war by a
group Of ambitious people. but he tells
nothing Of the long years Of encircle-
ment and naeh:nat!ons against them:
nothing Of tho enemies recently
strongly expressed viii to destroy Ger
many.
The German people rose In August.
1914. and still fight today to defend
their freedom. independence, and life.
President Wilson says he has no quar-
rel with the German people, for whom
he only entertains sympathy and
friendship.

1neasage to SOW discord in Germany.
