Elihu Root, will Fay an official visit
TO Japan before returning to the
United States.
This was asserted on high author
lty yesterday. despite previous de-
malls by the State Department that a

an unfavorable opinion in Japan re-
garding Americas policies.

Russia is nearly concluded, it was
said yesterday. The American dele
gates will go for a tour of the coup

of business will be transacted within
the next week. it is believed. Former
Senator Roots reports are available

in dealing with the Russians here.
Mr.. Root is expected to reach Japan
about the time the imperial Japanese
mission. headed by Baron Ishii,
comes to this country. early in July.
The visit-to Japan will be largely a
formality, although underground
work toward establishing better feel
ing probably will Re attempted.
The State Department was advised
yesterday of the arrival at a Pacific

visitors will proceed eastward inme-
diately. They will be the fourth vis-

Committees Of both houses yesterday
determined to take the first steps for
the construction of a great military
highway down the Atlantic Coast,
along the Gulf Coast and the South
ern border and up the Pacific Coast.
Senator Chamberlain, chairman Of
the Senate Military Affairs Commit

press his bill requiring the Secretary
of War to make the surveys for the
proposed road.
Chairman Dent. Of the House Mil

that he would introduce a companion
bill.
The bill directs the Secretary OF
War 10 proceed with the surveys In
the order indicated and appropriates

specifying the work TO be done the
bill meets the objection that has been
made against much previous Federal
road legislation. The Secretary Of
War will be required to reveal his
