JAPS' ANGER OVER
AMERICAN NOTE IS
CAUSED BY ERROR

WASHINGTON, June 14.-Japanese
resentment over the American note to
China is ascribed by officials here
wholly to publication of a garbled
version in Japan.
Later dispatches from Toxic, in
dicating that the Japanese resented
the sending of any note at all, were
not commented upon and the incident
was referred to as an instance Of
how efforts for a better working un-
derstanding between Japan and the
United States have gone awry.
II is admitted here that although
both countries have been striving for
such an understanding that they have
not succeeded in reaching it.
Despite efforts Of the government,
Japanese effort often has been inter-
preted AS in denial of Chinese sover-
eighty, and American policy has been
interpreted in Toxic as undue inter-
ference in Chinese affairs, and disre-
regard of the special position Japan
claims for herself in China. much the
same as the position of the United
States with regard to Mexico.

ONLY One PER
CENT OF PAPERS
PROVE DISLoYAL

of Voluntary Bondage.

WASHINGTON. June 14.-Military
information Of value to enemies is be-
ing divulged by one per cent. of the
American newspapers which are not
regarding the volunteer censorship
bling respected by the other 80 per
cent, the committee on public infor-
nation announced today in new APP
peal to all to suppress publication Of
matter Of that nature.
The committee issued this state
ment: While 80 per cent. Of the
newspapers Of the country are scru-
pulously observing the rules of vol.
untary censorship certain few are
printing daily information that may
expose American soldiers and sailors
to deadly peril.
Details Also Given.
Not only is announcement made
Of the passage Of troops through the
communities in which these papers
are published, but the names and
equipment are given in detail, also ex-
act information as to the destination
and date of arrival. together with
speculation as to probable sailing.
1T does not matter that the gov
ernment's plans for concealment of
troops movements across the water
have failed In many particulars. Abso-
lutte secrecy still remains the object
Of strenuous efforts. The press of
the country, realizing the necessity.
has pledged its aid and cooperation.
Undoes Others Work.
THE one newspaper that breaks
this faith .undoes the work Of all those
that keep the faith. Attention is again
called to these specific and repeated
requests Of the government for sup
preston Of news with respect to:
Il. Information in regard to the
train or boat movements Of troops.
'2. Information regarding the as
sembling Of military forces at sea
ports from which inference might be
made of any intention to embark them
for service abroad"

LABOR Mobiles TO
BACK FOOD MEASURES

WASHINGTON, June LIN the be-
lief that the establishment of fed
eral food administration will result
in lower prices, organized labor forces
in the United States today started an
active campaign for passage by July
OF the food bills pending in congress.
The American Federation of Labor
sent to thousands of labor unions let
tiers urging them to press their con-
gressmen for early action on the meas
ures.
Labor leaders became convinced aft
er a series of conferences this week
with President Wilson, Herbert C.
Hoover and members of congress, that
the machinery provided by the bills
would force discontinuance of much
food speculation, and elimination of
unnecessary steps in the process of
distribution. Many believe prices will
drop thirty per cent.

Sergeant Warner believes that the
army will not obtain many more re-
cruits before the draft.
Il cannot understand" he says, why
men will prefer to wait and be drafted
instead of coming in as volunteers.
Their position, inside and outside the
army, will be 100 per cent better if
they volunteer instead of waiting for
the draft. 1t may be that young men
believe that they cannot enlist. This
is not so, as enlistment offices are
open and will be until the draft be-
gins"

Sure, me fight for New Brit, America; there were also number who wanted it stated on their cards that they did not claim exemption to the draft and would not complain if drafted, but they hoped the government would provide for their dependents during their absence: rmong the foreigners many insisted on giving the registrars a complete list of all brothers, sisters, cousins. aunts, etc.. claiming them as depen- dents, but explanation by interpreters showed that the men were not slack CTS, but misunderstood the meaning of dependents: a few gave corns, sore throats. broken arm, lame back. tn- digestion and other minor ailments as reasons for exemption.

men and the Home Guardsmen did excellent service as patrolmen and much credit is due them for the ex- cellent order that was maintained. Members of the City Guard were fully armed with their Krag rifles and fixed bayonets and the Home Guardsmen were also armed with rifles and bayonets. During the evening hours members of the City Guard were sup piled with one ball cartridge each. and the Home Guard men were each given two ball cartridges. This was merely a precautionary measure and the men in no instance found it neces- sary to load their rifles.
 Despite the great publicity given to Registration Day, among certain classes of the foreigners the day was one of terror for some of them had the opinion that as soon as they regis tered they were in the service. Several young men. upon signing their cards, asked when they were to re- port for uniforms and one man was heard to ask a registrar how long he thought 1t would be before he was sent to the trenches. In one city street. occupied principally by foreigners, during the early registra- tion hours the women and children stood huddled together in little groups crying and wringing their hands, pro- testing because their husbands and l fathers were thus being drafted into l the war. A variance of individual l opinion was likewise noted among the registrars. One slender, short. regis- trar in noting the size of man be- ! fore him asked him to stand. The l man towering we'll over six feet in height and built in proportion. stood | up. Medium height, medium build I should say ruled the registrar.
