soon In full swing. Sailors produced
mouth organs, thereafter there was mu

The dancing was in the roadways, all
the way from Piccadilly TO Leicester
square, for the sidewalks were thronged
with other belated persons who watched
the dance and cheered the dancers. Sail

DOESN'T BELIEVE JAPN

A Japanese Officer Travelling in United

Cincinnati, Ohio, Aug. lg.--Captain NJ.

army officers, both of Toxic, on a
months tour Of the United States gath
ering data on the manufacture of ma
chine tools and automobile and airplane

Captain Kamiuski, who was in engage
ments along the eastern front in Russia
during the world war, said in speaking
of the Shantung peninsula clause Of the
peace treaty:
81 do not believe that Japan will insist
on holding Shantung, nor do believe it
should be considered as serious ques
ton. Japan does not want this stretch
OF land, for it is inhabited by Chinese,
who speak another language and whose
civilization is still in the making
For Japan to gain anything through
the holding of Shantung would mean
that we, the Japanese, must educate the
Chinese in that district TO modern Gus
toms and ways, while we need all the
time and financial assistance in promot-
ing industries in our own nation
