washington. Information has
reached the war department OF the
conclusion of an agreement between
japan and China for the protection OF
thelr common interests in the far east
against German aggression. Although
giving few details, the reports to the
department are said to make I'd clear
that the agreement was only for the
period OF the war and was solely for
protective purposes.
a joint defensive to counterfeit Ger
man aggression in Siberia is known to
De contemplated but information was
lacking as to whether this would in
volYe a movement in force into Siberia
Dy Japanese and Chinese troops. AS
70 the necessity for such action, the
state department is not informed, but
IL is assumed that because of their
proximity to Siberia, Japan and China,
with a much keener interest In that
country than any other powers, doubt
Tess We're in better position to know
the extent Of German influence there
and the necessity for curbing it by
'AhIuAy 1OFCS. i" "+fff
Regarding the agreement as Of a
purely defensive nature, the state de-
partment does not believe it directly
concerns the United States ana c0nse-
quently 1t involves no change In the
policy of the department in the treat
ment of the far eastern question. That
policy, 1t is said, properly might be
subjected to revision If in the future
japan and China should find it naces-
sary or advisable Ito call upon the
ouiteu STATES or the entente allies for
military or other substantial assist
ahce III carrying out their plans. AS
we nlatter now stands there Is not the
slightest disposition to question the
motives that impel the two eastern ma
tons to join hands to protect them
selves from any danger which they
may foresee.
PRACTICAL difficulty in the combina-
tlon OF japanese and Chinese interests
Is suggested in diplomatic circles here
through the disaffection in southern
China: But it is said that this IL
founded entirely upon the ambitions

ton to the situation In Siberia.

When Samuel Champlain earned the
gratitude Of succeeding generations by
keeping journal as he sailed along
the coast from the mouth of the st.
Lawrence to Cape Ann he recorded,
among other things, the appearance
of the fields which the Indian women
cultivated not far from the site of the
present town Of Gloucester, Mass. He
described, relates writer, the hoes
used by them, made from the shells OF
the horseshoe crab. a creature which
interested him greatly, and he also told
of the weeds which these women
grubbed up with their primitive hoes,
thus saving their corn, beans and
squashes.
Among the weeds he mentioned .es-
pecially the. purslane OF which he saw
enough and, II he could come back to-
day and Inspect the gardens along the

MILLION YOUTHS TO
REGISTER JUNE s
YOUNG MEN WHO ATTAINED
TwENTY-oNE SINCE JUNE S
LAST TO BE CALLED.
Probably Three-ouarters Of a Million
Men VIII Be Added to the American
Army in the Making by the Regis
tration, Estimates Gen. crowder.

Washington by Major
General Crowder, provost marshal gen.
eral, indicate that probably three quar-
ters OF a million men win be obtained
for the army by the registration on
June 8 of all youths who have attained
II years Of age since June last.
Fully million youths, according to
General Crowders estimate, will be
registered. At least one-fourth of
them. he thinks, win be exempted on
variousS Grounds.
a Statement by Secretary Baker,
giving the estimate and outlining
plans for the draft, given out on May
p, reads:
probably three-quarters of mill
lion men will be added to the Ameri-
can army In the making, by the
registration on June 5 next of boys
who have reached the age of 81 since
June 5, 1917, or who will be q on
or before June 5, 1918. This estimate
was made today by Provost Marshal
General q. H. Crowder, who will
direct the registration.
10 Per Cent 81.
General Crowder's estimate was
based on the fact that almost ten
million men registered last year.
This number included all between II
and 81. j Statistics collected by Cen
eral Crowders officers show that d
little more than 10 per cent of these
men We're p years old. On that
basis 1t is estimated by draft Off
Gals working under General Crow
der that this years registration viii
exceed 100000.
OF this number, General Crowder
estimates three-quarters, or about
10000 men, will be available for mill
tary service. This makes proper al
lowances for physical defects, exemp-
lions because of dependents and other
bars to military service.
Under President Wilson's procla-
nation, all male persons, citizens or
aliens, must register. The only per-
sons excepted are officers and en-
listen men of the regular army, navy
and marine corps and the national
guard and naval militia while in fed
eral service, and Officers of the Off
GERS reserve corps while In active SER
vice.
General Crowder plans to have the
local boards keep their offices open
for registration purposes between Z
a. m. and 8 p. m, ON June s. Be
tween those hours all young men
who We're born between June 5, 1896.
and June Z, 1897, must register. These
men are subject to the provisions of
the selective service act under which
the first registration was held"
