NATIONS KEPT
 APART THROUGH
 GERMAN AGENTS
Wscount Ishii Relates How Japan and the United States Were
 Injured.
MANY YEARS IN PLOT

WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.-German intrigue and propaganda, cleverly applied in both countries, have pre- vented full understanding between America and Japan, Viscount Ishii, head of the Japanese mission to the United States, declared in an ad- dress before the National Press club. The Zimmerman note to Mexico, involving Japan. gave clue to the secret agencies at work to part the East and West the viscount said, but even the noise of this diplomat ic "blunder" by Berlin gave check only for time.
 For more than ten years" he said "a propaganda has been car ried on in this country, in Japan, and, in fact, throughout the world. for the one and sole purpose of keeping nations of the Far East and Far West as far apart as possi- ble, to create distrust, suspicion and unkindly feeling all in order that Germany might secure advantage in the confusion.
 These agents have been supplied

ized nations, including neutrals, to suppress obligatory military service, to institute an arbitration tribunal and, as a guarantee, to direct a gen eral boycott against nations which again attempt to introduce con scription or which refuse to submit international questions to arbitra- tion or to accept it's decisions, a guarantee which Lord Robert Cecil (British Parliament under-secretary for foreign affairs) has shown would have great benefits"
 It was pointed out by the car dinal that the Holy See had al- ways condemned the nefarous ef- fects of conscription as war breeder, that in it's own dominions it had refused to use compulsory military service and that Napoleon had adopted this idea. Conscrip- tion, the papal secretary said, led tO many wars, the government always having ready at hand fighting in- strument.
 Suppress Conscription.
 It was further explained by tho cardinal that the recent examples of Great Britain and the United States proved conclusively that vol. untary military serivce really gave
 the necessary contingents for tho
 maintenance of public order, but did not supply the monstrous armies
 needed by modern warfare ant
 which tempted their governments to make use of them.
 Therefore, he urged, by the sup
 pression of conscription, big armies great munitions plants and mili tarism automatically would be de stroyed and the energy and money consumed in these ways would bt
 used in paying off the huge cost o the present war.
 It was made evident in the Italia
 article that the Vatican did mol hope for period when there would be no more wars, but that it be lieved it would be possible to limit them.
 Regarding the present war, the newspaper maintained that the con- tending parties would be obliged to come to some terms other than

 by Weight of
 All Nations.
RESTORATION OF LANDS
Suppression of All the Obligatory Military Service Is First
 Essential.

ROME, Sept. 26.-Special signifi- canoe was given oday to new in- depreciation of Pope Benedict's peace note by the semi-official Cor riere d'Italia.
 According to the newspaper the Pope intends that
 Belgium shall be free and re- stored, restitution to be made for occupied territories.
 "Alsace-Lorraine to be restored to France.
 All lands to be awarded to Italy.
 Armenia and Poland to be free
 Mutual agreement concerning the Balkans"
 Details of Plan.
 Cardinal Gasparri, the papal sec retary of state, last night empha- sized these views of the Vatican re- garding a solution of the war by the suppression of conscription and also a joint commercial boycott of any nation which refuses to disarm It is evident that the Vatican as pired to suppress German militar- ism by securing a peace treaty re- quiring the permanent disarmament of that nation.
 The Italia declared that the Holy See in it's call for peace out of feeling of delicacy toward the bel ligerent powers would not indicate the practical means with which to obtain and maintain disarmament, leaving the nations to decide the means. but Cardinal Gasparri said the Holy See is convinced that among all the plans suggested so far the only practical and possible one is the following: Boycott Suggested.

"3OO' Mill at TreadWeII Being Improved; Many

TREADWELL, Sept. 2G.-Ordinar- fly the putting of a new floor in an old building, from news standpoint, would not be termed hot stuff" any more than would an item to the eff feet that Mrs. Srtuckile had bought q new fall hat for herself or win ter blanket for her Boston terrier. ing put down in the 300 mill at this place sertainly means-well, it means a whole lot more than new floor. It means that the hum of industry will soon be emenating as of yore from that mill; else why would a new floor be needed? It also means that the Treadwell Company is pre- serving it's property from deterior- ation, which characterize augurs well for the future.
 On the whole, the outlook at Treadwell is brightening with every succeeding day and there is a gen. eral feeling prevailing here that the period of discontent has "done been and is going.
 On the last steamer from the westward a number of former Tread deli employees who left in the early summer for Anchorage, returned and have resumed work here. More than that, their wanderlust spirit has been materially toned by their ex- periences in the westward and they are all mighty glad to be back on their old jobs.
