Anglo-Japanese Aims
Alike, Says Balfour
Alliance One of True National
Confidence, Asserts British
Foreign Secretary

LONDON, June 12 (via Ottawa).-
Speaking at a luncheon in the House
OF Commons to-day before the jana
nese Ambassador and delegates attend
ing the international Parliamentary
and Commercial Congress, A. j. Bal
four, Secretary for Foreign Affairs, de-
clared that Great Britain and japan in
the war had no difference of opinion,
no divergence of aims and no ulterior
designs which either was not willing
to confess to the other This was the
Dasls Isl, OF true national confidence.
The Anglo-Japanese Alliance. which
hao done SO much for peace and the
advancement of the world, said the
secretary, would bear rich fruit in the
future for the higher interests which
would be in the East. He was sure
that if the exigencies of the conflict
required call upon the Allies to make
fresh efforts Japan would, as she al
ways had done, live up to her full
obligations.
German methods of trade were part
OF OF her policy of world domination, said
Nlr. balfour. and this made them more
dangerous than mere tradS. rivalry. to
which Britain had never objected. Ger
many was trying to use her manu-
tacturlng power virtually to enslave the
rest of the world. That was the
problem which must be met and solved

178 Visiting Nurses
Aid Red Cross Plans

One hundred and seventy eight
trained nurses who have been visit
ing the sick in New York City under
the direction or the Visiting Nurse
Service OF the Henry Street Settlement
have put themselves at the service of
the public in order that private nurses
may be released for Red Cross service
abroad.
Every person who can possibly dis
pense with the entire time of trained
nurse is asked to relinquish her and
make use of a Visiting Nurse instead.
"Our nurses have always been at the
disposal of the entire public" says
Miss Lillian Wald, of the Henry Street
Settlement, "but now, more than ever,
they should be used. The nature of our
organization will permit us to utilize
the services Of married nurses with
children who can only serve the public
part of the time and other nurses who
cannot go to France. At this time when
nurses are so much in demand we are
in a splendid position to help"
The Henry Street organization covers
every street and every district in Man
haitian, The Bronx and Staten Island.
During the month Of March Miss Wald's
staff made 30,450 visits. Those per-
sons who use the Visiting Nurses will
pay for the time Of the visitant. Here

Drastic Regulations
Issued for Vessels
In American Harbors

WASHINGTON, June 12.-In prepa-
ration for a time when naval warfare
may be brought close to American

tions forbid all navigation within the
harbor after dark, except for necessary
traffic permitted by the port captain
or Collector.
Licenses will not be issued to boats
doing junk business and the licensing
of chambers vessels will be limited to
the few required for harbor needs.
These may transport articles to and

ties. Vessels in coastwise travel will
be required to report their leaving and
arrival unless they have special per-
mits from port officials.
In addition every officer and men,
ber of a crew of vessels in coastwise

Threats to Mrs. Field


Mrs. Oliver Cromwell Field, president
OF the American Relief Legion, has
been threatened with death because of
her efforts in suppressing German and
disloyal newspapers.
Mrs. Field disclosed yesterday that
she had turned over to the Postal
authorities several letters presumably
from Germans and Germans, of an
indecent and abusive character, and
frequently reminding her that she had
not long to live. One of the letters,
she was informed by the Investigators
was mailed at Sixticth Street and Third
Avenue. 1t read as follows: "You vile
creature, seeking notoriety. Why don't
you change your brilliant mind to other
ways of work? You better make the
most of your days because your days
are short, anyhow. Yours in loathing." /"
Another letter, after denouncing her
anti German efforts. says, Huns are
angels compared to Yankees"

AMSTERDAM, June 12.-Germanv
mas lodged complaint in Washing
ton and asked for safeguards against
such excesses as led to the lynching
OF Robert P. Prayer at Collinsville,
H., on April a, according to Wolff
Bureau telegram from Germany quot
ing Privy Councillor Simons in reply
ing to question asked by Herr
Mueller, of Meiningen, N the Reich
stag. Privy Councillor Simons is
quoted as follows:
THE lynching of Prayer is fact
and was committed for no other reason
than that Prayer was a German and
sYmpathized with the German cause.
The Swiss Minister at Washington has
lodged complaint and asked for
safeguards against such excesses.
Ihe United States admits the facts,
nols, it cannot interfere. The inves-
tlgation is proceeding and legal steps
are beng taken for the future.
The United States, which is al
iegedly warning against the Huns in
the interests Of humanity, bears the
main responsibility for the crime. The
American government permitted Ger
man hatred to be famed amongst
the American people We cannot rest
satisfied with the statement that the
laws. Of Illinois are inadequate to
handle such situation The Ameri-
can government must find ways to pro-
tect the rights and liberties of Ger
mans in America.
"The German government has re-
peatedly made known, through the
SWISS Minister, that progress in this
matter should be accelerated. what
ever the condition in the United
States may be. The United States
government must under all circum-
stances see that such things do not
occur again."
Herr Mueller said that British
paper had published list of similar
cases and the Privy Councillor re-
Plled: I'VE are going into those cases,
but we can deal only with those of
German subjects"

fore the British public the vital i'm
portance of incorporating in future

emy powers should surrender an
amount of mercantile tonnage at least
equivalent to that of the Allies sunk by
the enemy during the war.
This object, he said, had been at

that he had dismissed DR.. G. V. Lomo-

While Ambassador Bakhmeteff is not

he is recognized by the American State
