JAPAN'S WAR AIMS

Berkeley, CAL, Mar. ss,--Japan

gain but Is fighting to protect the
treaties which she made with hon
or" said Professor Masaharu An
esakl Of the Imperial University OF
Japan. In an address delivered at the
University Of California today Pro-
fessor Anesaki was speaking upon
Japanese views on present interna-
tionai problems" He said. In part
Japan IL involved In this war to
a deeper extent than you realize. We
are at war to protect our interests
from the common enemy. There
should be no distrust on the part Of
the allies toward Japan. for we are
faithful allies doing our share.
"Japan has protected the Interests
OF England, France and the United
States In the far east. For q Ions
time there was pro-German feel
Ing In Japan due to German propa-
ganda, but we would not heed their
advances to us.
'.The Japanese have not been able

AMER|CAN-BULGAR|AN
ATTITUDE UNCHANGED

Washington. Mar. 23.--America's
attitude toward Bulgaria will not be
altered. at least for the present. by
operations OF Bulgarian troops on
the western front.
Reports that Bulgarian units had
been brought upon the western lines
opposing the British forces, were re-
celved at the state department with
out surprise and without arousing
any apprehension Of an immediate
diplomatic change.
II was indicated that certainly
until the troops OF the Balkan state,
regarded as Germany's tool. were
actually used against lines held by
American troops. the present anamo-
ious situation probably would con-
tlnue. II Ia known however. that
suggestions from foreign capitals
have reached Washington that the
United States should formally In
clude Bulgaria among It's enemies
Some officials think nothing would
be gained by declaring war, even II
Bulgarian troops should be found
fighting against the American front
They contend there is no advantage
in declaring war. and that there will
be a diplomatic advantage at the end
OF the war is not having altered the
diplomatic status.

brief statement as 10 the means
by which the Normal School girls are
raising their part Of the united war
work fund may be Of some interest TO
throughout the state. Their results
arc being reached chiefly through two
channels. their own individual contri-
buttons and their own earnest. efficient
work. Many OF them have agreed
among themselves to buy no eats"
during the campaign period. but TO do
nate the money that they would nor
nnlly spend In this way TO the cam
paign fund. Others are raising their
subscriptions by doing various types
of work In their spare moments. Never.
for instance, was there place dom
mated by more active passion for
personal tidiness-on the part OF other
people-than the normal school. Never
has the faculty OF the school appeared
in such wcll-polished shoes or in such
well-pressed garments. Never have
windows been SO clean or rooms so
orderly. The school just now Is not
suffering from shortage OF labor
along any line.
Nor Is this youthful enthusiasm and
energy being confined TO our own en-
virons. Organized by classes, the girls
are shocking corn on the surrounding
farms so rapidly that soon they, like
Alexandria, will be longing for new
world to conquer. On Saturday alone,
almost $3.50 was earned by the various
classes i'm this way. Moreover, the
work is being done SO efficiently that
the farmers who are making of
their help this year are already in
quiring whether or not 1t Will be avail
