ACHIEVEMENTS
OF U. s. GAINED
JAPAN'S ESTEEM
Military Strength Of America
Shown by Part in War, Says
Japanese Educator.

TOXIC. Dec 30.-The rapidity with
which the United States prepared for
war and the magnitude and success Of
her military operations continue to
draw expressions OF admiration from
Japanese. Generally speaking. the
public In Japan regarded the United
States as peace-loving nation, which.
having no bent for war. could never
do much in the building up of great
army.
The wonderful transformation of
America in the war is the subject OF
many articles by prominent publicists.
Thus, Dr. Shigeo Suyehiro, professor
OF Kyoto University. writes:
There is no Disgusting the fact that
prior to the war, the Japanese did not
believe in the military strength OF
America. but the present titanic
struggle has demonstrated beyond all
doubt the error of the Japanese esti-
mate. The United States has become
a great military power at bound and
her navy is only second to that of
Great Britain. The financial resources
OF America are something tremen-
dous. It is stated that America would
be able to keep the war going for a
quarter of a century at the rate Of
expenditure which she spent for the
first year. Nor is that ALL
Resources Unlimited.
THE Americans are as great spirit
ually as their country is almost limit
less in her resources. Just imagine
that the Americans. whom some Japa-
nese consider as slavish worshippers
Of mammon-working for their coun-
try at an allowance Of 81 a year; they
endured the hardship OF meatless and
wheatless days in order to obtain a
supply OF surplus provisions available
for the Allies; and no dissenting
voice was raised against the proposed
restriction of the manufacture OF
liquor.
1.-THE material and spiritual sacrifice
made by the Americans in the cause
Of the war as evidenced in these and
other things are really wonderful.
showing. as they do, the greatness Of
America and her people"
DR.. Suyehiro thought that it would
be the height Of absurdity for Japan
to pick a quarrel with such a great
country without a sufficient casus
belli. Japan should stand for an open
door policy In the Far East, but in re-
turn she should receive similar treat
ment in Indo-China. Canada, Austria
liza and New Zealand. He said that
America had been excluding japanese
immigrants. but he thought it very
doubtful whether she was sufficiently
justified in so doing. Japan, he said.
should strive to have the United
States correct her attitude, not by
brute force. but by appealing to her
sense of justice and humanity, and
this he applied with equal force to
British and French territory where
discrimination against the Japanese
is in force

Defense Society Would
Eliminate Teaching German
(By Associated Press)

NEW YORK, Dec. 30.-A nation
wide campaign is being conducted by
the American Defense society to
eliminate the teaching of German in
the schools throughout the United
States. In letter written the princi-
pals OF public schools, private schools
and colleges throughout the country
the society urges that French, Italian,
Spanish and Russian should be given
prominence in the curriculum with a
view to Strengthening trade relations
between these countries. The letter
which is signed by DR.. William r.
Hornaday. reads:
Reports are rife that with the end.
ing Of the war there is to be an at
tempt to force upon our American
youth the language of the people
whose hands are stained with the
blood of their fathers and brothers.
The German language has been used
as weapon directed at the heart OF
America by German propagandists. 1t
is the opinion of many Of our promin-
ent educators that German is not an
essential in any course of study, and
is to be hoped that our American
youth will not permit it's being forced
upon them for any reason whatsoever
The next five years will witness a
capitalization of educational opinion
and upon that capitalization will de-
pend the future Of American educa-
ton.
For those who would study a Ian
guage for its future utility the choice
lies between French, Spanish, Italian
and Russian as our trade relations
with these countries will be immeas-
urably increased now that peace is in
sight. To study German would be to
condone the atrocities perpetrated by
the people who speak this language"

 BY BAKER CHART
Republican A.P. Leased Wire!

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-A chart based on reports from all army camps and showing only minor clothing short ages existing January 19 was sent by Secretary Baker to the senate military committee today soon after Chairman Chamberlain made his speech in the senate replying to President Wilson's denunciation of his criticism of the war department. In his speech Sena- tor Chamberlain referred to a chart of conditions on January l. recording many deficiencies which the latter re- ports show no longer exist.
 Secretary Baker said no further statement would be issued in answer tn Senator Chamberlains charges. re- marking ''the war department is in the unfortunate position of being unable to speak about certain things He did comment, however, on several features of the speech.
 In connection with a letter read bv Senator Chamberlain telling f the death of a soldier under narrowing circumstances at one of the camps, he said several similar cases had been called to his attention and that every precaution possible to prevent recur- rences had been taken.
 As to the assertion that the surgeon general was not consulted in the se- lection of camp sites, Mr Baker said every site had been selected by l board consisting of one medical officer. one engineer and one line officer, appoint ed by the departmental commanders In only one case was the suitability of the site questioned on sanitary grounds he added.

GENERAL BLISS |S NAMED ID GIT ON
 HIGH WAR COUNCIL
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-General Tasker H. Bliss, chief of staff, who ar rived in Paris today will represent the United States army on the supreme war council Secretary Baker in so announcing tonight disclosed that the general is accompanied by high officers of every branch of the service to advise him about any questions that may arise.
 General Bliss attended the first meeting of the council and decision to send him back to Europe as a per manent representative in that body was made because it was recognized that General Pershing's duties in crganiz- ing and commanding the -increas- ing American eXpedhionary forces were too great to permit him to undertake the presentation of American views on military operations and to sit with the council in framing plans of strategy that cover all fronts and all armies.
 No word of the departure of General Bliss had been published until the news of his safe arrival came today.
 From General Bliss the war council will obtain an up-to-th -the-minute re- port on what the United States will be able to contribute to operations on the NColClI IlOliI lllS SDIluS dllu Sulll- mer. His report has been forecast to some extent by President Wilson's statemsnt to congressional visitors that there would be in Europe in June twice the number of American troops which it had been originally planned | to send by that time.
 General Bliss also can inform his conferees exactly the situation. in which the United States finds itself now as to delivery of supplies of all l sorts to the allies.

STEEL MAGNATE IN
 TALK SAYS LABOR
 MEN ID CONTROL
Republican A. p. Leased WireJ

NEW YORK, Jan. 24.-Charles M Schwab, president of the Bethlehem Steel corporation, declared in an ad dress at dinner here tonight that the time is near at hand when the men of the working class-the men without property-will control the destinies of the world"
 The Bolsheviki sentiment must be taken into consideration" MT. Schwab declared, and in the very near fu- ture we must look to the worker for a solution of the great economic questions now being considered. I am not one carelessly to turn over my belongings for the uplift of the nation, but l am one who has come to a belief that the workers will rule and the sooner we realize this the better it will be for our country and the world at large.
 Tn these times of war; MT. Schwab said. we of America should not criticize the action of our president and our nation. We are behind him and we are behind the nation. When I say we I mean the steel men Of the United States. Within the next IS months we will have more ton- mage on the ocean than all the na- tions of the world.
 But don't let us run away with the idea that we have light job on our hands. We must realize that it is the duty of every citizen to give his last dollar and his last drop of blood in defense of his country.
 q am not discouraged and l am not pessimistic, but We must con tribute our money as we never con tributed before. We must forget our personal notions and stand by our nation. Let us place dependency upon our government and our cause.
