Last night the Seiyukai (Constitu-

In opposition to immediate mobili-
Zation.
The press is almost unanimous in
urging mobilization. The Asahi Shin

they are unable to understand Amer
ica's excessive generosity" toward
Russia, by now giving supplies to
Germany and imperiling the stores
in Vladivostok. Suspicious in regard
to Japan weaken the Allies, they as
sert, adding that it is Japan's duty
to work in the interests OF the peace
of humanity by assisting to crush
Germany. The Kokumin Shimbun is
sues a call to arms, saying that
America is sincerely friendly, but
mistaken.
The Asahi Shimbun, of Osaka
voices the opinion widely held among
the middle classes that extensive
mobilization would create acute dis
tress industrially and in regard to
food supplies.
1t is reported that the Germans
arc trying to organize two army
corps of German war prisoners of
Russia. One corps, II Is said, Is being
secretly organized at Irkutsk, Siberia.

PROPOSED TRIP

JARS OFFICIALS
Her Contemplated Visit to
the French Front Raises
Complications

Washington, March 1S.-Society
generally, with the diplomatic and
administration circles in particular,
is much interested in the avowed in
tention of Miss Margaret Wilson to
continue her particular war work in
France.
Miss Wilson has made no secret of
her intention of joining friends iden-
titled with the Y. M. c. A. as soon as
satisfactory arrangements can be
made in the matter of transportation
and subsistence abroad.
She is the authority for the an
nouncement of the plan which now
threatens to be spoiled by reason of
official suggestion that the presence
in Europe of the daughter of the
President of the United States might
lead to international complications
out of all proportion to the relief and
prestige given the Red Triangle
workers by so important an addition
to their ranks

hand. Chicago, Wisconsin, Michi-
gan, Illinois and other Western in
stitutions are expected to enter
teams or individuals.

feature of the meet will be the mill
tary and naval events. Eight are

listed for Friday, April 26, which
will be Army and Navy Day. Camp
Dix. the Philadelphia Navy Yard,
Camp Meade and several other mill
itary camps and naval training sta
tions are expected to be represented.
AS the regular medley relay cham
pionships. the pentathlon and a large
number of college and scholastic re-
lays and college special events are
also down for decision on Friday,
this day will vie in interest with Sat-
urday. which hitherto has always
been considered the big day of the
meet.
Saturday the one, two and four
mile college relay championships,
the freshman college relay cham
pionships and the other special
events, which are now considered
the real college championships of
America, and scores of scholastic
