u. S. AND JAPAN.
Mission to Convince America of its
Country's Good VIII.

Japan will stand by the United
States to the end of the war-and
after.
She will ask no money, no mater
.al, no equipment.
She will exchange pledges of ma
tional, lasting friendship.
She will prove that Germany, in
stead Of seeking to, make an ally of
her, has been trying by propaganda
70 cause war between japan and the
United States.
These are the outstanding aims of
the forthcoming visit of the Japa-
nesc mission, which is expected to
arrive here soon, and were outlined
yesterday by a source close to the
Japanese embassy. He made these
points:
/. The mission is one of senti-
ment. Has s
,. Japan, unlike some OF the other
belligerents, is not in the slightest
need of assistance, either financial or
material. The mission will convince
the Washington government of this.
3. Documentary evidence will be
produced to show that Germany has
spent vast sums in Japan and in
the United States, to create i'll
feeling and suspicion on both sides
and bring about war.
/. Japan will support the United
States to the utmost extremity dur
ing the war and after it. The mis-
sion Ecpes to take steps to oblit-
crate international trouble makers.

KILLED AND WOUNDED.
Percentage Small in Comparison
With Numbers Engaged.

Washington, Aug. 21.-That the
risk Of the fighting man is not near
" so great as is popularity imagin-
ed is the belief of Marine Corps Of
ficials here who have compiled sta
tistics covering the allied losses in
the war.
A careful estimate shows that
only one man in fifteen is killed, and
one out of FIVE hundred loses a limb.
Recent reports from French and
British hospitals show that about
95 per cent recover from wounds,
while about 80 per cent are able to
return to the firing line.
While the Marine Corps officials
hold unbiased views in regard to the
expected casualties among their own
troops in France, it is pointed out
that the "Solders of the Sea- re-
Gently engaged in warfare in Haiti,
suffered less than one percent loss
es. These were sustained while
wide terrain, fighting
from house to house, and capturing
and holding small rcdoubts, taken
che bv one from the enemy. This
method of warfare is said to be
rapidly superscding the trench sys~
