RELATIONS
ARE GOOD
Visrount Ishii, Japanese Ambassador
to U. S. A., Sees No
Reason for Any
Trouble.
TBy United Press.1


TOKYO.-An entirely optimistic
view in regard to the future rela-
| lions of Japan and the United States
was expressed by Vrscount Ishii,
Japanese ambassador to the United
States, who has just returned to
Japan, In an interview the other day
The viscount said that there is no
collision of vital interests between
1.-THE two countries on any problems,
although it is inevitable that now ana
then propagandists will talk about a
Japan American war, and some
people will believe that relations be-
tween the two nations are badly
strained.
He attributes all misunderstood.
lings between the two powers to the
!intrigues Of propagandists, some OF
whom are active in China, he said.
Americas vital interests are mainly
lin the European and 1atin-American
markets and not in the orient mar
lket, the viscount saiC. Therefore,
America is contented with the strict
observance by the powers of the
open-door and equal-opportunity prin-
iciple in China, and has never cream
led of an economic monopolization OF
1.-THE Chinese market nor will she
dream of such thing.
Americas safety in the extreme
orient, continued the viscount, lies
lin her developing China industrially
land commercially hand IN hand with
Japan as well as with other powers,
but not in trying to monopolize Chi
lnese national resources. Though the
oriental market, especially that in
China, may be of vital interest to
japan, Ishii does not belilNJe those
! interests are being endangered by the
American participation m the indus
trial exploitation Of China, because,
however wealthy the american CAPT
italists may be, they cannot be con-
isidered as aspiring to pour the
greater part of their capital into
enterprises in that country to such
degree that no other country can
compete with them
| Since the American government,
as we'll as the American people in
general, are confident that Japan
Twill never destroy the principles OF
the open door and equal opportunity
in China thinking people there feel
quite safe and satisfied with the
present situation. For the same
reason, Ishii approves of the Ameri-
can proposition OF the consortium
for China He says it will be very
advantageous, not only 10 China her
self, but also to Japan and America,
for two reasons: First, it will do
laway with useless economic compe-
ltition among the powers interested
in Chinese finances and economics,

DIARRHOEA
Quickly Cured by
WAKEFIELD'S
Blackberry Balsam

Wakefeld's Blackberry Balsam has
been the surest and safest remedy for
Diarrhoea, Dysentery, Cholera Infan-
tum and Cholera Morbus for 72 years.
While it is quick and positive in its
action, it is unlike other remedies in
that it is harmless and does not con-
stipate. 1t simply checks the trouble
and puts the stomach and bowels in
their natural, regular condition. OF
the millions of bottles that have been
sold, never has a case been reported
to the manufacturer where a cure
was not effected when directions were
followed, even after other remedies
had failed. Every home should have
bottle or more on hand ready for sud
den attacks. Full size bottle. 40c
everywhere.

JUST SMOKES
(By Melville Chater.)

The fresh troops pressed close to the sides of the car carrying their wounded brothers.
 "How is it going up there?"
 We're giving them hell. Where you fellows headed for?" Where you just came from-the front"
 Give 'em more hell and good luck to you."
 And so the fragments of conversa- ton were thrown back and forth. Meanwhile there had cropped up a certain bit of information which was echoed all through the fresh troops.
 What, those fellows got no smokes? We got the last ?" And in three minutes the Red Cross workers had their big cigarette bowls filled again and were making a sec ond distribution in the hospital car. A few minutes more and the troop train was under way. As the bows aboard hung out of the windows to give a final look, the sight they be- held was that flickering patch of light points in the darkness.
 And they turned to their song "lll bring you Turk and the
 Kaiser, too
 And that's about all one feller can
 dO."

Sailors SOLUe
 Seq GuLLs
 Seal Mystery

In the wealth of strange secrets that the sea is giving up now when the finger is off the lips of sailing men, none is more strange and grew some than the "Sea-Gull Mystery
 another "Ancient Mariner and the Albatross" theme, fit to rival in prose-fact the epic poem of Cole ridge, says Lloyd Seaman, in Pop ular Mechanics Magazine.
 British and American sailors, en- gagged in anti-submarine warfare, were puzzled for months by the strange actions of great flocks of white sea gulls coursing in definite and queer paths over the water few feet above the surface. Every day the men on the destroyers saw these flocks of gulls and finally the com manding officer of one of the Brit ish patrols had an inspiration. He steamed close to the head of the flock, cut across its path and loosed half dozen depth bombs, time to explode at different depth. There was wild frothing of the waves, and few minutes later oil, bubbles, and finally wreckage and corpses from U-boat came to the surface.
 The secret was out. The sea gulls, after two years of experience, had learned that the long, dark shadow in the green depth meant food, that they had only to follow it and, soon- CT or later, human bodies would fall to their carrion appetites. So ire quent were the sinkings of steamers, the loss Of lives, and the scattering of ships larders over the waves, that it is not at all wonderful that birds of the peculiar shrewdness that characterizes all carrion species should have learned to associate the idea of food with the U-boat's ap- pearance.
 Everything about the U-boat spell ed carrion, for large numbers of the submersibles themselves were de- stroyed by allied depth bombs and the German corpses left to float to the surface and be devoured by the hungry birds. The sea gulls, of course, easily perceived the subma- rines, no matter what their depth, exactly could defect them, by virtue of the special clearness which the water assumes when seen from an elevation directly above the sub merged object.
 The depth bombs which the sea- plane fighters and the allied de- stroyers dropped served to furnish the gulls with still larger source of food, namely stunned fish. In water close to the British Isles, how ever, the fishermen, venturing out in steam trawlers, gave the birds bat tie for the fish. This easy meth od of obtaining a gigantic haul of fish was highly profitable to the English, Welsh and Scottish fisher men.

FLYER LANDS PLANE SAFELY AFTER
 LOSING MOTOR

Losing the engine from his plane while flying at an altitude of a mile did not disconcert a young American airman while flying at an overseas field, according to the March Popular Mechanics Magazine. Collision with another craft tore the engine from his machine, but at a moment when the plane was gliding on an even keel he climbed onto the top of the fuse lage at full length and in some man. ner managed, by continually shifting his weight, to restore balance suf- ficiently to prevent the craft from fluttering into a direct fall. While maintaing balance with his body, he also manipulated the controls and guided the machine earthward

 "Whoop-la, cigarettes" came from one observant youth and the rest took up the cheer. They had run out of tobacco and the majority of the men had not had smoke that day.
 "Only one each, boys," warned the suddenly popular canteen work CT; "they are very scare just now" As each man had his mouth full, the precious cigarette was tucked secure ly back of his ear
 Suddenly a hush fell upon the troops. Through the darkness a sec ond train with a big Red Cross breaking its drab sides rolled slowly in on an opposite track. It was hospital train from the front.
