told his interviewer.
At the same time Count Terauchl
EMPHASIZED his belief that Japnn's re-
lations with the Entente would con-
tinue unaltered. The Premier asked
to be excused from discussing inter
vention in Siberia.
"Japan's future is just as dependent

Japan entered the war solely because
of the Anglo-Japanese alliance. There
was the further consideration that the
outcome of the war would affect Japan s

been justification for criticism from
certain domestic quarters that under
the terms of the alliance we were not
called upon to send ships to the Med

Mr.. Smith enlisted as Y. M. C. A. hut

the heroic work of two American women

Premier Hughes Here
To Decide Isles Fate

A hint of the Importance of the
secret mission to London of Prime
Minister Hughes of Australia was
given yesterday by one of his suite,
who told correspondents here of Brit
ish papers that the censor would not
pass to England any reference to the
purpose of Mr.. Hughes's mission.
The Premier received a delegation
of newspaper men at the Harvard Club,
where he is staying. One of the mem
bers asked Mr., Hughes, "Is it proper to
ask about your mission to England?"
Mr.. Hughes gave diplomatic reply
that indicated his lips were sealed and
one of his suite broke in to say that
even if he spoke the censor would not
pass his remarks out of the country.
Previously, however, Mr.. Hughes had
said Australia would fight to prevent
any of the islands of the South Pa
cihc being held by predatory nation.
Many of these Misunderstanding sta
lions and submarine bases-were
wrcsted from Germany by Japan at
the outbreak of the war.
1t was reported, although Mr.. Hughes
would not discuss the subject, that his
mission to England has to do with the
final disposition of those islands at the
end of the war

"Lampoon's" Satire

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, June 1.-The
Harvard authorities are considerably
shocked over the license taken by the
"Lampoon" in its current issue in

The satiric attack, in imitation of
Burke's "Peerage," is called "Lampy' s
Peerage of Cantabrigia, or the AL
manac of Goats" President Lowell is
introduced as:
.'His Most August and Eighty
Majesty (by Grace of the Over

the House of Lowell"
The titles of the 'Prince of Pre-.
cawshion, Sultan of Bloodblud, anc
Ruler of Bath Nights for Freshmen
are also given to President Lowell. His
armorial bearings are described as
"cod fish and bean impaled on Puri-
tan outlook, CHARTERED with coronet
