FOR YELLOW PERIL
Japanese Ambassador Says
Kaiser Tried to Create
Clash With America.
NIPPON FAITHFUL ALLY

BOSTON. July 6.-viscount Ishii,
japanese ambassador, speaking today al
a luncheon given by Mayor Andrew J.
Peters, declared that the German en-
peror was responsible for the yellow

Japan. Two years ago at Tolsto' he
esid. he told the American ambassador
he thought outside influences were at
work to create unfriendly feeling be-
tween Japan and America. but that he
was not then in a position to state def
nitely the name Of the person he sus-
pected as the instigator.
The ambassador reiterated that Japan
would fight with the allies until inter-
national Justice and democracy had been
established.

Ambassador Ishii said:

after that conversation. completely

as they go, contain no direct bearing on

Japan, had she SO elected. might have
kept herself aloof without an osten-
sible breach Of faith with England
with her meager natural resources
and the poor state of her finances and
foreign trade, what necessity was there
for Japan to embark on a perilous wal

Peace Of Far East.
Japan, however, took the matter in
a more conscientious way. In the opin-

Urgent Pleas From Allies.

Urgent appeals from the allied gov
ernments for American approval Of
and cooperation in joint measures to
meet the German menace through Rus
sia have been before President Wilson
for several days. Until now. however.
there has been no intimation that he
had changed his position. based upon
recommendations of his military ad-
visers. that successful military ef-
fort in Russia was not feasible.
For military reasons strictest Sc
crecy is observed concerning the exact
nature of steps proposed by the allies.
American and allied naval forces now
are guarding war supplies both at
Vladivostok, terminal Of the Trans
siberian railroad, and kola, terminal
Of the railroad on the Arctic coast,

Right Of Way Privileges.

Relative to abandoning the present
right of way privilege given vehicles
moving north and south, Mr.. Beeler as
serts that this custom originated in New
York. where it is especially adapted to
the necessities Of the traffic situation.
but that the plan of giving the right-of-
way to the vehicle approaching from
the right would be better adapted to
conditions here.
I'm Washington the important thor
oughfares extend in all directions"
he points out. "fhe right-hand rule
is working admirably in many i'm
portant cities Its application here
would undoubtedly simplify vehicular
traffic and prevent mix-ups, accidents
and confusion, not only on the streets
intersecting at right angles. but at
the busy circles and on the diagonal
thoroughfares. such as Pennsylvania,
New York. Massachusetts and New
Hampshire avenues"
There is no discussion in the report
of the merits of the proposed plan to
prohibit vehicles fran barking within
plow pit. which are held to be SELF
evident.
Dangerous Practice Scored.
-. Beeler takes a fling at what he
terms the most annoying and dam
gerous practica-of many motorists
and truck drivers" to approach street
crossings at full speed, regardless of
the traffic signal. bear down on the
cross-walk full of pedestrians and
make a sudden stop directly across
the walk, blocking the passage OF
those endeavoring to cross the street.
This he characterizes a most danger
GUS practice, as no one knows when
the brakes may fail, car skid or
any one of a thousand things happen
that might result in serious accident
or loss of life.

Expedition Still Opposed.
Belief among the majority Of Amer.
lean military men that no expedition
on an extended scale should be under
taken in the east apparently has un-
dergone no change. In fact, one ON.

that Yesterdays decision did not mean

Regardless Of the secrecy observed,
however, the plain intimation was
ence marked the end Of the period OF
waiting which began upon the boil
shevik acceptance Of the Brest-
Litovsk treaty whereby Germany
gained control OF large section OF
Russia and paved the way for ex-
tending her influence eastward far
into Siberia.
Any military measures that might
be put into effect along the Trans

Heretofore the hope Of the American

Parking Suggestions.

Mr.. Beeler's recommendation for We

there have been 176 collisions be-
tween automobiles and street cars on
Pennsylvania avenue between 9th

To make center parking safe Mr.
Beeler suggests that a line Of
stanchions set in pockets be sunk in
the pavement. This can be done IA
the same manner as along the cur55s
on Pennsylvania aveue, where the
wire ropes are set during inaugural
professions.
AT points where parking is per-
mitted," he say, "the same wire rope
can be stretched SO as to effectively
bar the automo oiles from encroaching
beyond their proper limits onto the
car tracks. This would also prevent
pedestrians from walking between the
autos and across the tracks,"

Traffic Policemen Praised.

No criticism is directed at the work
OF the traffic policemen, who. Mr.. Beel-
er says, are the most competent and
expert men in this branch of the serv-
ice he has ever SEN. Courtesy and
diplomacy seem to oe inbred in them"
he says.
The proposed regulation giving the
traffic squad the responsibility of issuing
permits restricting use Of streets is
based on the theory that such praStice
will enable the traffic men to ascertain
in advance when and where important
changes in the flow Of traffic will occur
and to provide against tie-ups by taking
measures to prevent confusion and de-
lay.
Existing regulations governing the use
Of building permits should be modified
within the newly defined ''congested dis
trict," states Mr.. Beeler, to allow the
builder to use during construction only
the sidewalks Of any street with car
tracks on 1t, except that an allowances
may be made for the erection of tenn
porary sidewalks to allow pedestrians
to pass the work in safety.

For Special Traffic Officers.

Discussing the proposal for sepa-
rate traffic division of the police de-
partment, Mr.. beeler points out that
the present organization of the traffic
squad consists of a lieutenant report
ing directly to the major and super
intendent of police; a sergeant and
about sixty members who, though pri-
marily traffic officers, still are under
the authority of the precinct captain,
who may withdraw them from the
traffic work at any time and transfer
other men to this branch of the service.
Traffic control is SO important and
vital factor upon which comfort and
safety is largely dependent" Says the
expert, that the traffic squad should
be under one direct and authoritative
head, and thus permit no division of
responsibility. The members should be
carefully selected from those having
Special aptitude along these lines. and
they should be carefdlly drilled in their
respective duties until they all become
thoroughly proficient in the art"

Fed In Moderate Amounts.
In an investigation conducted by
specialists of the United States de-
partment Of agriculture, which includ-
ed study of nearly 500 stock farms
in the corn belt states, II was found
that silage Is an excellent feed for
breeding animals, but that from the
standpoint Of economy 1t ordinarily
and that 1t should not replace too much
of the cheap roughage. One hundred
of the farms Cor nearly one-fifth of
those under consideration were feed
ing silage. and their average winter
feed bill was SIG per head. On 20 Of
these farms approximately II per cent
Of the ration was silage, an average Of
three-fourths of ton being fed to the
COW. As Al per cent Of the feed was
made up of cheap roughage, the silage
displaced only fodder and the more
expensive hay and grains. The aver
age cost of wintering the cows on these
farms was s14. The average quantity
Of sllage fed on the next 80 farms was
is tons, nearly one-third of the ration
being made up of this feed. Although
the cows ON these farms received 100
feed units less feed. their winter-feed
bill was S1G.53. In the next group,
81 farms, sllage constituted one-half
of the ration, the cows receiving an
average Of 2.75 ton each. As only one
fourth Of this ration was composed Of
the cheaper roughage, the average
feed bill for these cows was SIT al
though they received 400 feed units less
than did the cows In the first group.
1t is evident that on the farms In this
third group sllage was replacing too
largely the cheaper farm by-products.

sUccULENT FEED FOR HORSE
Roots and Germ silaoe Not Used to
Any Great Extent-carrots
Considered Best.

Succulent feeds, such as roots and
corn silage, have not been used In this
country TO any great extent for horse
feeding. OF the root crops, carrots are
considered best for horses. Although
low in food value, when compared with
grains, they have high value as con-
ditioners. The serious objection to
their extended use Is the large amount
Of hand labor required In their produc-
tlon.
