JAPAN UNABLE TO SEND
SOLDIERS INTO CONFLICT
transportation Problem Impossible;
Fleet Actively Engaged In
Mediterranean.

A PACIFIC PORT, Nov. Baron
Tanetaro Megata, head of the Jap
anese financial commission that has
arrived here, said today that 1t was
impossible for Japan to send an army
TO aid the allies on the European
battle front.
'Tf, in the face of physical impossi-
bility, Japan should be foolhardy
enough to make superhuman effort
to send troops and If she speedily be-
came exhausted" he asked, who then
would protect the orient, II Germany
remained undefeated?"
Lack of tonnage was another im-
portant item in the baron's argument
"Tho we have sent no troops to
Europe" he said. 1--WE have helped in
other ways. Our navy is serving the
allied cause in the Mediterranean and
the Indian ocean and our merchant
marine is largely at the disposal Of
the allies. Japanese ships do prac-
tically all of the carrying between
Asia and Europe" ~. -.--Ss-s ----,. -,

deal about the "spy scare"
The country is supposed to be

Germany every minute of the

beginning OF the war. have been sunk,
said SIR Eric Geddes. first lord of the
admiralty, in the house of commons
today.

said Sir Eric. 81 see no signs of It's

Sir Eric said he regretted II had not
been found possible TO arrive at a basis
for publication of British tonnage
losses by submarines action without
giving information to the enemy.
The loss OF merchantmen in Octo-
Der. he said, was very slightly worse
than in September. Enemy subma-
rInes were being sunk to an increasing
extent but the Germans were building
them faster than they have done hith-
erto.
Tonnage Increasing.
In September, Sir Eric continued,
there was afloat on the high seas an
increase OF 20 per cent In numbers
and 80 per cent In tonnage of Brit
ish ships as compared with April. He

ton OF the first sea lord would be de-
voted wholly to naval staff matters.
Standard ships aggregating one mil
lion tons had been arranged for. he
said, and more than half of them were
under construction.
The total net reduction of British
tonnage since the beginning of the
war was given as 100000 tons.
Unable to Help Russia.
Replying to the criticism that the
fleet had hot been sent TO assist Rus
sia he pointed out that such an opera
tion would occupy considerable time
and that there were extensive mine
fields
Responsible naval experts were
unanimous that the step was not one
which should be taken.
At the present time. Sir Eric in

docks which can be devoted to re-
pairs of merchant shipping exclusively
of those used for warships.
German Shipping Reduced Half.
A reduction of so per cent in Ger
man shipping, Sir Eric continued, had
been caused by the sinking of ships
or by their passing into the hands OF
Germany's enemies.
"All, by their economy can help
the royal navy and the navies of the
allies TO defeat the submarines" SiI
Eric added.
In September. he continued. the
royal naval air service carried out Ga
raids behind the enemy lines In Fland
ers. dropping 2,736 bombs.
Replying to criticism regarding the
recent loss Of Scandinavian convoy
in the North sea, Sir Eric said had
the British navy been informed of the
attack, which II was not, its position
was such that 1t could not have wished
a better opportunity OF interceptinl

The Scandinavian convoy. he said
had been going on since April and
this was the first occasion on which
any ship had been lost.

sia entered the war early and
she is now worn out by the
strain, Premier Kerensky to-
day told the Associated Press.
He said that Russia claims as
her right that the other allies
now should shoulder the bur-
den of the war.
Premier Kerensky declared
that Russian public opinion
was agitated by the question,
"Where is the British fleet
now that the German fleet is
out in the Baltic"
The greater portion OF General
Cadorna's Italian army probably now
stands on the western bank of the
Tagliamento river In a new line of de-
fense waiting TO resist the Teutonic
allies.
The advance of the enemy altho re-
markably fast, was not quick enough
TO envelop the Italians and put them
out of battle from the Carnic Alps to
the head Of the Adriatic sea
The Germans and Austrians did not
succeed in their prearranged plan of
rushing beyond the Isonzo into the
Friuli valley. and enveloping the Third
italian army. which occupied the
region of Gorizia and the Carso. Altho
they broke the Italian line from
Plezzo to Tolmino. the resistance Of
fered by picked Italian contingents so
delayed the southwestern march of
the enemy that the Third army had
time to cross the middle and southern
Isonzo in orderly retreat. The main
body of italian forces is intact, ready
to face the invaders in the offensive
which Is being prepared.
Italian cavalry have entered into
action on large scale for the first
time during tn ewar. They have made
brilliant charges obstructing the ad-
vance of the enemy.

and lack of food as they fell back to
the Tagliamento with their rear
guards everywhere harassing the
enemy. But General Cadorna declares
that with the morale of his men still
splendid, the success OF the invaders
soon will be made valueless.
On the eastern side OF the Taglia-
mento from Piano 10 Latisana the
Teutonic allies have captured valuable
bridgehead positions from which to
operate against the Italians. No men,

Should General Cadorna choose the
Piave for the big battle that is to
come. doubtless the plains of Friuli
soon will witness the greatest scene
of open warfare that has taken place
during the present hostilities. Already
the Italian cavalry has been in action
east of the Tagliamento and did
notable work in harrassing the ad-
vance.
According TO reports from Rome.
the invaders paid heavily for their ad-
vance, their dead numbering 10000

two generals of division.
In Palestine British troops have
captured the town of Beershe bs.
southwest of Jerusalem, and made
prisoners OF 1900 Germans and Arabs.
They also took nine guns.

Fanization such as the Red Cross eff

get the results that this great work
merits and that are absolutely in

THE choosing of the last four
presidents of the Commercial club
as the executive committee was a
particularly good move, for all are
proven organizers and their work as
heads of the Commercial club has
given them a knowledge of and in
sight into conditions in Fargo and
Cass county that mean everything
to the. success OF Red Cross work
here" ..-
While there are no women mem

services are to be dispensed with.
Their great field of work, the Red
Cross recognizes, lies in the local
chapters, and this principle will be
applied throughout the state, just as
it is being applied today throughout
the nation.
