Failure of Her Diplomacy.

Herein lies the repeated failure of
Japan's diplomacy. The Japanese
people must make it known to the
allies that the Japanese are not sing
ing paeans to militarism, and the Rus
SLAMS and Americans should be dis
abused of their present ideas of
Japan"
In speech at Nagoya Ozaki criti-
cised the conduct of the Terauchi ad-
ministration in the following terms:
Japan must keep herself in close
and constant touch with what is pass
ing in European political circles. 1t
will be a lame excuse for Japan to
remain Indifferent to what is taking
place in Europe because she is SO far
away from the scene of the titanic
struggle. The prevailing tendency in
Europe is that the people have been
thoroughly convinced of what iniqui-
tous militarism is capable of, and Eu-
rope is now full of voices cursing mil
itarism. In Japan. however, militar-
ism still reigns supreme to such an
extent, for instance, that the state
railways are conducted by officials
wearing swords. The general tend
ency in the world will not allow this
state of affairs after the war. I'm
less Japan is prepared to follow the
worlds current she must be left be-
hind in the race for international su-
premacy."

Women Obliged to Work in Trench


The captain pointed to the official
Austrian casualty lists in substantial
tion of his statements that the wom-
en- of the Trentino were mobilized by
Austria and forced to work in the
trenches.
"A large number of Austrian sub
jects of Italian ancestry were con-
demned for political reasons" the Of
ficer said. They were sent in groups
into Galicia. En- route they were sub
5ected to varied and constant bru-
talities from their escorts. And they
were insurted by the Inhabitants.
Sometimes they were shut in cattle
trucks with guards with fixed bayo-
nets in passengers coaches next to
them. In this manner they journeyed
over the Carpathians and Galician
1owlands with nothing to eat but
bread and dirty soup served in a mess
tin, which the guards spat in by way
of amusement.
'"The full tale of the sufferings Of
these victims of Austro-Hungarian
ferocity can never be told. Hunger,
thirst, f1ogging, bayonet thrusts were
only prelude to the real martyrdom
to which they were predestined.
Lead Lives of Hideous Torture.
They were attached to Hungarian
and German companies in the ratio of
one man for every platoon and led
lives of hideous torture in front line
trenches, separated from other SOL
diers, treated as traitors, insulted and
maltreated by comrades under di-
rection of officers. They were regu-
1arly chosen for the most dangerous
operations, where desertion was i'm
possible
One-third of the population of 30o,-
900 in the Trentino have been intern
ed, the captain said. Whole families
were hurried to concentration camps
for the duration of the war on the
slightest pretext. The more intellec-
tual inhabitants seemed to be partic-
u1arly singled out
Two whole families were interned
because their children, while playing,

LEADER ADVISES JAPAN
TO SPURN M|L|TAR|SM
Declares Oriental Empire Should
Keep Pace With Other Nations,
Especially United States.
BY ERNEST w. CLEMENT.
Correspondence of The Evening Stal
md Chicago Daily News.

TOXIC. Japan, May 3o.-Japanese
who desire closer relation with the
United States are keenly alive to the
criticism that Japan is essentially
militaristic and that its people are
more inclined toward militarism than
disarmament. Yukio Ozaki, leader or
the Kenseikai party, which opposes
the party in power, of which Terauchi,
the present premier. is at the head.
endeavored to impress his countrymen
with the need of dispelling the sus-
picion that Japan stands for mill
tarism.
Address at University.
In an address at Kyoto University
he said:
sideration on the general tendency OF
the world after the war, as her de-
cision to follow the general current
or go against it will have vital bear
ing on her future. During the last
several decades militarism has been
on the ascendancy in the world, with
the result that the world Is now suf-
fering from the most terrible and de-
|structive war known in history. Need
less to say, militarism has been most
rampant In Germany, which, HO uOupt,
still remembering her success In her
wars with Austria and France, brought
on the present war.
Japan may be compared to Ger
many, inasmuch as she is as militar-
istic as Germany and has been as sue
cessful in two foreign wars. 1t should
be. remembered, however, that the
termination of the war will see gen.
eral abandonment of militarism for
many years. 1t should be noted that
the allies are fighting under the ban
ner of democracy for the destruction
of militarism. Even in Germany, the
hotbed of militarism. the socialists
and others have been steadily work
ing in the cause of democracy. In
such circumstances there can be no
doubt that the world will be ruled by
democracy for at least thirty years
after the war.
TT should be observed that Japan
stands in a rather anomalous position
in this war. She has as her premier
a man well known for his militar-
istic proclivity and who does not hesi-
tate to give expression to his princi-
pies. Nevertheless. Japan is one of
the allies who are fighting for the de-
struction of militarism. 1t must be
regarded as an anomalous state of
affairs. 1t is not unnatural that the
United States and Russia should en-
tertain suspicion and misgivings as
to the attitude of Japan.

was, not to attempt the ultimate of
