JAPLEADER IN
YLADIVOSTOK
.OF.OLD SCHOOL
Gen. Otani Has Funston
Jaw and Marse Henry
Mustache.

At the Japanese Embassy there Is
much nodding of heads and smiling
at the mention OF Gen. Kikuso
Otani's name-which Is the en-
bassy's way OF saying what a fine
man the ranking officer of the allies,
Russian expedition really Is.
Gen. Otani Is regarded as one OF
the most brilliant officers in. the
perament and experience to lead the
forces which are going to tho aid
of the Russian people
In plain American. he would be
called a soldier of the old school"
He is essentially a fighter. As a
member of the army council, he has
a responsible share in the delibera-
tions of Japan's supreme military
body. He was summoned to that
duty from Tsien-Chiaow, where he
was governor general.
To visualize him, think of a
sturdy. straightforward person with
Fred Funston jaw and a Marse
Henry Watterson mustache. The
mustache is gray. Gen. Otani has
just passed his slxty-second year.
But he is as active as a junior
subaltern.
As leader OF the japanese army in
the Russian expedition he will cover
more or less familiar ground. He
was a brigade commander in the
Russo-Japanese war. 1t is not felt
here. however. that there will be any
resentful memory among the Slavs
because OF that former connection.
In the war between China and
Japan, twenty years ago. Otani was

on August % to confer with the Bal
timore Kiwanis Club as to a big
drive to aid the liberty loan cam
paign. The Washington club yester-
day subscribed for $500 Of the bonds
for a starter.
I'VE are making a careful investi-
cation Of profiteering charges" con-
tinued Mr.. Fletcher at his office In
the wilkins Building. I'VE have ask
ed wives and members OF our families
to watch the fair price lists and re-
port any oyercharges to the proper
government officials. Then II they
cannot get action, whether 1t be on
the price OF meat or In rents. we will
see what can be done.
THE charge OF profiteering here has
been sent broadcast throughout the

charged here by our hotels do not
compare unfavorably with hotels of
the same class in other cities"
