JAPAN SILENT ON HER
TERMS AT PEACE TABLE
BV A Associated Press.

TOXIC, Dec. 18.-Ohlcial Japan is
silent as to what Japan will ask at the
peace conference, thus Marquis Ok
una, the venerable ex-prime minis
ter, has come out in a statement as to
what he thinks Japan peace terms
should be.
The Marquis says that Japan should
approve all the decisions to be reached
by Great Britain. France and the
United States so far as the territorial
alterations on the western front, GEN.
trail Europe, the Balkans, and in Afri-
can colonies are concerned, because
Japan has no direct interest in the
affairs of these territories.
AS for the problem as to the future
OF Germany and Russia. Japan's atti-
tude should be decided in acco rdance
with the conclusions reached by the
allied conference, but she should de-
clare that fundamental principle OF
settlement should be the universal de-
sire to obtain permanent peace in the

UP HOTEL and ESCAPE

at once and in searching the saloon
discovered a glove which one OF the
men had dropped.
II is a cotton glove such as is is
sued to men employed on laboring
jobs in local factories and ii looks as
IL IL had been worn for a long time.
The bartender, who had only slight
chance TO see the men as the attempt
at robbery happened so quickly, gave
but q poor description of the men and
as a result the police have but little
to work on.
When Chief Burke arrived at
police headquarters he Immediately
got on the job himself and has his
whole detective force and some pa
trolmen at work with him and he is
doing everything that Is possible to
get the men.
In conversation with a reporter
Chief Burke stated today that the
robbers were no doubt men who have
been at work in this section OF the
state and have made some good hauls
and that they figured that they had
a fine chance so early in the morning
to get a good haul as yesterday was
payday in one of the large factories
and the employees had spent consid-
cradle money and they knew that
there was a large amount of money
in the hotel cash register and safe.
During the past few weeks a num-
ber of saloons in this section of the
state have been robbed. In some
cases the men have worked the way
the robbers did this morning by en-
tering a place and holding up a bar
tender and in other cases they have
broken into the places at night and
gotten away with considerable loo,
in both money and stock.

Three men attempted to hold up
and rob a bartender and steal money
in the cash register of the Hotel
Remington at 6 O'clock this morning.
The bartender was able to run out OF
the saloon and call for help and they
were not very successful. They fired
three shots but missed him. One
shot struck a mirror in the back or
the bar, shattering 1t.
According to the story told the
police by the bartender, he had open
ed the saloon part of the hotel at 6
o'clock this morning and was getting
ready for the days business when
three rough looking strangers entered
the place and called for whiskey.
AS the bartender placed the whis-
key on the bar one of the men pulled
a fully loaded revolver and told him
to throw up his hands and the other
two started for the cash register be-
hind the bar.
The plans of the three holdup men.
however, went wrong for instead Of
throwing up his hands as he was told
to do, the bartender made a dash for
a small room near the bar and closed
the door after him. The man with
the revolver fired three shots at him
but missed him. One of the shots
took effect in the big mirror behind
the bar, smashing 1t.
As soon as the bartender reached
the other room he began to call for
help and passersby came to see what
was the trouble and in the meantime
the three holdup men had departed.
The bartender then called police
headquarters and Detective William
Hartmann was assigned to the case.

During the past few weeks q num-

city who supply local stores with
bread have been trying to find out
what has become Of certain num-
ber OF loaves that are being placed
daily In crates and have disappeared.
Watchman Rudolph Kish. who pa
trolls Smith street. was told to be on
the lookout for bread thieves. AS a
result he accused Levi Strauss, an
employe of the Ward Baking Com
pany of New York city this morning
of stealing the bread and Patrolman
Mcdonald arrested Strauss. who was
held In $500 bail by Recorder Pick

of bread daily. how at first only one
crate had been opened and one or two
loaves of bread taken, but of late
how nearly all OF the crates in front
of the stores were opened and bread
stolen from each one.
Kish further stated that when he
saw Strauss whom he has suspected
coming along he hid and watched him

Strauss denied this and said he had

and in time OF stress that is worth
a very great deal.
81 know quite we'll. that you, as
well as your British comrades, were
bitterly disappointed at not being able
to give effect to that efficiency you
have so well maintained. 1t was
a most disappointing day. 1t was a
pitiful day to see those great ships
coming in like sheep being herded by
dogs to their fold without an effort
on anybody's part, but II was a day
everybody could be proud OF.
II had always had certain misgiv-
ings and when the sixth battle squad
ron became part OF the grand feet,
those misgivings were double
strengthened and I knew then they
would throw up their hands. Appar-
emily the sixth battle squadron was
the straw that broke the camers
back.
However, the disappointment that
the grand fleet was unable to strike
their blow for the freedom of the
world. is counteracted by the fact that
IL was their prestige alone that
brought about this achievement.
During the last twelve months
you have been with us we have learn
ed to know each other very we'll. We
have learned to respect each other.
want you to take n message to the At
lantic fleet that you have left a very
warm place in the hearts OF the grand
fleet which cannot be filled until you
come back or send another squadron
to represent you. You have given us
a sample of the Atlantic fleet, which
/ think the Atlantic fleet, efficient as
it is. will find it very hard to repro
duce.
"I thank you again and again foI
the great part the sixth battle squad
ron has played in bringing about the
greatest naval victory In history
hope you will give this message to
your comrades come back soon.'
Goodbye and good luck!"
