JAPS MUST ACT
NippOnese Publicist Says Rus
STA Needs ssStrOng Arming.o
WatchfuI Waiting Policy Must
Be Brought to End.

New York, March S.-tWatchful
waiting will no longer suffice to safe
guard the treaties solemnly entered
into by the Russian government with
the United States and Japan, DR.. Tay-
okichi Lyenaga, noted Japanese pub
licist. asserted here.
1.-The only difference in the stand
taken by the United States and Ja-
pam he continued lis in the view
point. There is absolutely no friction
between our governments.
THE United States is afraid that
the landing of japanese troops in ST
IBERIA would arouse the Russian peo-
pie against the cause of the allies.
I'VE do not agree in this point The
japanese people, who are more eXper
fenced in dealing with the Russian sit
uation. believe that the better class of
Russians will rally to the support of
the forces who are striving to over
throw German military autocracy.
This loyalist element is a larger fac
tor in Russia than the people in Amer
lea believe"
Doctor Lyenagas speech was ac-
cepted by his hearers, gathered at a
dinner of the New York Southern So
ciety. as virtually foreshadowing ia
panese Intervention in Siberia in the
immediate future.
Not Government Spokesman.
The speaker made it a special point
to say he was speaking. not as a
spokesman of the mikado's govern
ment, but merely as "a citizen of the
leading nation of the east
Nevertheless Doctor Lyenaga has
long since come to be looked upon as
a faithful and authentic reflector of
Japanese official views, and it was
particularly recalled tonight that he
was the first man in this country pub
licly to foreshadow japanese action in
the Far East in connection with the
Russian situation, considerable time
before the subject took the center of
the information stage. He said in
part:
THE Bolsheviki have demonstrated
They have absolutely failed and it is
high time that the nations allied
against Germany do something to pull
together the fast falling empire
New Method Needed.
I'VE have so far needed the advices
of the United States, whom we con-
slider our best friend. We have pur-
sued the 'watchful waiting policy
adopted by President Wilson,
1T is now evident that this method
will no longer safeguard the treaties
solemnly entered into by the Russian
government with your country and
mine.
'kerensky, who represented the
| loyalist faction in Russia, was a weak
| leader and was not able to hold them
| together. What Russia and the allied
cause needs is a powerful organiza ton
to offset Lenine and Trotzky and Com
pany."

MAY ABOLISH GERMAN IN
HUNTINGTON SCHOOLS

News Times Special Service:
HUNTINGTON, Ind, April s. -
A petition asking that the teaching
of German be discontinued in the
public schools has been presented 10
the board of education.
Before filing the petition Supt.
Scudder himself signed it. But that
was not all.
c. L. Byers, high school principal,
signed it. But that was not all.
The two teachers of German, Miss
Minnie NJ. Hoffman and Miss Floy
f. Galley, put their names to the pc
tition. as they said lust to make it
unanimous.
There are now III students TAX
ing German. The school board will
protect these students in their
studies. so that their work up to
this time will not be lost. and they
will get due credit for work done.
But the German course probably will
be rushed to completion and an ig-
nomin:ous extinction in the public
schools OF Huntington.
