BROUGHT TO
JUSTICE

The public has been informed at
various times of the murder OF Car

ments following the tragedy. What
has been published in these columns

Japan Has No Direct Inter-

Will Be Governed by De-
cisiOn of Allies.
RETAINS MAR
SHALL ISLANDS
Allied Powers Should Re-
frain from Concessions in
Siberia.

YOGAHOMA, Dec. 18.-BecauSe
Japan has no direct interest in the
Balkans, central Europe and the
African Colonies, her attitude as to.
the future of Russia and Germany
will be decided in accordance with
the conclusion of the Allied confer
ence. These statements were voiced
today by Marquis Okuma, who until
recently held che high office of prime
minister in Japan. He further sasy
that Japan should approve. all deci- :.
sions made by the Allied Nations.
Marquis Okuma made plain the adj
visibility for Japan to remain in
possession of the Caroline and Mar
shalls islands, which have been naval
strong holds for a great while, and
would be dangerous in the hands of
the Germans. Owing to the fact
that they are invaluable to Great
Britain and the United States on ac-
count of distance, the Marquis said
that these positions would be of
great service to his country. Siberia
he said, should not be annexed by
any of the allies, but her future
should be governed by them at the
conference.
According to the Marquis Okuma,
China should be given an equal op-
portunity with other nations. The
Bismark Islands and German Guinea
now occupied by the British, in his
opinion should not be turned back to
Germany.
German bases in the Samoa islands
IRE dangerous and such territory
should be decided upon with the in
5ention of destroying such valuable
German positions.
