War Policy of
Japanese To Be
Attacked in Diet
Party toDemand
Greater Devotion to Cause
of the Allies

LONDON, Jan. 21.-Tho war policy
OF the Japanese government is to be
subjected to attack at the session of
the Diet which will be convened soon,
according to advices from Toxic, as for
warded in Reuter- dispatch from
Shanghai. AS is customary on the eve
of meeting of the Diet, the political
parties assembled yesterday and issued
declarations.
The Kensaikai, or Opposition party,
asserts the government has failed in
It's policy toward China, has not
been sufficiently positive in it's
support of the Allies, and has hand
led finances injudiciously. 1t says the
government is unable to read the uub-
nc mind and is not supported by the
people,
The governments diplomacy, it de-
clares, has always missed opportuni
ties, especially as regards China, with
whose domesic affairs it intcrfcred
without Justification
Urges Greater Aid TO Allies
The kensaikai will endeavor. the dec
laration says, to strengthen friendly
relations with China. 1t urges more
complete devotion to the purposes of
the Allies in prosecution of the war
and advocates wiser expenditures for
national defence.
Vlscount kato, who was Foreign Min
lister In the Okuma Cabinet and is
Leader of the Opposition party, made a
long speech, in which he eulogized the
Allies, especially France, for their cour-
age and devotion. He said the digni-
ted Dtterancoc of ro lo,-J Co..x.
and President Wilson, clearly defining
their war aims to the entire world, were
welcomed warmly in Japan. This
country, he continued, was still insur-
ing the safety of navigation in the
North and South Pacific and the Indian
Ocean, and was cooperating elsewhere
and also giving financial assistance.
The statesmen of Japan must safeguard
most carefully the nations prestige,
which would be affected by the Euro
rean issues.
Niscount kato outlined what he re-
garded as the shortcomings of The
government, especially its dealings
with China and its naval programme,
which he said was inadquate. His
speech indicated the general line of at
tack in the Diet.
The Seiyukai, or Constitutional party,
which generally IS supposed to
support the government, announced a
policy of strict neutrality, declaring it
would not commit itself to any extent.
The kokuminto, or Popular party,
was ssimlary non-cc mmtta. Ali
agree, however, that the situation was
CRITICAL and that it would be necessary
for Japan to be extremely careful, es-
pecially in dealings with China.
The parties in the Diet are divided as
follows: Kensaikai, 11S: Seiyukai, 100; :;
kokuminto, 35; Independent, 81.

was forced into one of our mine fields.
She struck mine and sank. The Goe-
ben left her, steaming at full speed,
and turned toward the Dardanelles.
Turkish destroyers, coming to the as
sistance of the Breslau, were engaged
by our destroyers and driven off.
"As the Goeben neared the entrance
to the Dardanelles she also struck a
mine, which reduced her speed and
caused her to settle down aft with a
list of Is degrees. She finally beached
herself on the west side of Niagara
Point, where she is now being continu
ouslv bombed by our aircraft.
I'VE rescued 1T2 survivors of the
Breslau, and they arc now prisoners

director of this work.
A campaign for funds inaugurated
by the association last autumn Melted
more than $1,000, 900 and real results
in the tangible shape of books and
comfortable libraries are being felt
by the soldiers and sailors. The Car

the erection of camp libraries. Nearly
all camps now have libraries and in
others the buildings are in course Of
construction. The reading rooms
each accommodate $50 men.
For the men in France the asso-

where books are assorted for ship

steps on a transport will carry a book
with him, which he and his compan-
