Ridder Makes Appeal
To Speed Up Recruiting

Bernard II. Riddcr, chief owner in
the Stats Zeitung" and regarded as
ono of the foremost German-Americans
in New York City, yesterday joined
actively in a campaign for recruits for
the United States army and navy. He
appeared as a speaker at n meeting OF
the midday recruiting committee, held
in recruiting headquarters, at 81
Chambers Street.
81 have come prepared TO offer my
services in whatever capacity the gov
crnment may find use for them" he
said in his speech. "Unless | were
ready to translate expression Of loyalty
into the actual test of loyalty | would
be Offering an empty lip service in time
of great national danger.
"The day has passed for arguments,
for regrets and for explanations. The
American of German ancestry, who is
not a patriot to-day would be without
caste among his own people. The glory
of democracy lies in the readiness
Of all 10 share in the dangers as well
as the benefits of the country. II is
the duty OF our manhood to respond to
the immediate demands of the army.
Our country has given us much. Now
we have an opportunity of making

Shop; Feuerstein Killing
May Be Probed

A man, armed with revolver, and
a group Of hysterical women, excitea
over the shooting Of aged Louis
Feuerstein by a member Of the Forty
seventh Regiment on Tuesday, came
near precipitating a second shooting
late yesterday afternoon at Park aV-
enue and Hath Street. The incident
came az a climax to series OF verbal
clashes between women and the mill
tiamen guarding the New York Central
tracks.

F. Fattorusso averted serious trouble
He was standing near the corner when
n man approached and began TO abuse
him. Several women gathered ano
added their excited denunciations'

from his pocket and pointed It at inc
guardsman. Fsttorusso raised MS
rifle to his shoulder, but the womer
flung themselves upon him, clinging 20
the rife barrel and pinning his arms
The man with the revolver took 10 MS
heels. r..
Dragging the women along, Fat.
torusso started in pursuit and mace
such Roadway that the fugitive vas
forced to seek safety in the butcher
shop Of Harry Sorokoff, at 1858 Park
Avenue. The soldier found the door
locked and bolted. He called patrol
man, but the fugitive had escapeJ
through the rear of the store wnen
they gained admittance.
On complaint OF Fattorusso, the
butcher was arrested on a charge OF

$4,000 bail for examination to-day IN
the Harlem Court.
Coroner Israel Feinberg said yesterday
he would consult the military author
tiles to see if he had power to investl-
gate the shooting of Feuerstein by
Private Allen. Several Jewish mer-
chants, among them Feuerstein's son,

Assassination of Baron Coto
Plotted by His Foes in Japan
C,rost;on Fooled in Attempt to Take Life of Guiding
Genius of Terauchi Cabinet During Fiery Political
Battle Preceding Election for Diet

ne the dissolution of the Imperial Diet
short time ago. IL seems 20 have
been the logical fruit Of all the ineen-
diary propaganda against the Terauchi
Cabinet. and to have been led by such
men as Mr.. Ando, The editor Of the
opposition newspaper in Akita.
All the organs OF the opposition were
literally hysteyical at the time Of the
attempted s$sination of Ozaki. They
played it up as if the Terauchi cabinet
were responsible for the act OF q politi-
cal lunstic. They talked and wrote as
though such a crime could never have
occurred except under the "autocratlc,
reactionary, bureaucratic" Terauchi re-
CINE.
According to the despatch. a large
number of people were implicated in
the plot against Baron Goto, which is
supposed TO have been the result of the
anti-governmental agitation carried on
by the opposition.
Il was the Okuma Cabinet which
pressed the now famous twenty-one de-
mandS on China. II was the present
Terauchi Cabinet which brought the
Chengtiatung dispute to an amicable
settlement by waving entirely the po-
lice right even in such sections of Mon
golia where there is no Chinese police
or any other police to protect Japanese
interests. In its Chinese policy the
Terauchi Cabinet differs from the Oku-
ma regime in one important respect:
the former has practised friendship
toward China, while the Okuma regime
merely talked about it.
China has not yet had cause to charge
the Terauchi Cabinet with armed vio
lation of its territory. whereas it de-
nounced the Okuma Cabinet for that
Crime" more than once.
1t is n lurid light that the news OF
the plot against Baron Goto's life
throws on the political life of Japan.
Just one thought shines out of it all:
the people Of Japan are getting along
famously in their political education.

San Francisco. April 1.-THE most
sensational news received from Japan
r.eently is the unearthing OF plot
to assassinate Baron Goto, the MIN
is.er Of the Interior According to the
Toxic correspondent Of the "Nichi-
Rel" the leading Japanese daily here
the piot was discovered in the city OF
Akita, in the prefecture Of the same
name.
Baron Goto was ostensibly on tour
OF inspection through the Northeast
In reality he was leading the admin
istration forces against the opposition
in the election OF the new Imperial
Diet.
The election is to take place April
20, and is expected to be battle royal.
Every politician in Japan can sec with
half an eye that one Of the mightiest
OF thunderstorms is linking the polltl-
cal sky. For one thing, IT Will make
or break the political future OF me
Terauchi Cabinet, and more especially
the future of its dominant power ana
guiding genius. Baron Goto.
Akita is the home fortress Of the
opposition party, the Ken-sei. Baron
Goto led his fcrces straight into the
heart Of his enemy's stronghold. That
is the way the baron wages war
According 70 the "Nichi- BeTs' cor
respondent, a plot was laid 10 blow
up the special train of the Goto party
near Akita. The plot was discovered
on April 4, and large number of men
implicated have been arrested, ana
more are being hunted down.
The plot was not Matched in the
brain OF one politician, nor was 1t
fsthsred by single. lunstic, as in the
case of the numerous attack on Oak
