Record of the Esd Infantry.

Joan Crane-We can not give you
the record of an individual unit, but
the Second division. of which the Esd
infantry was part, had its full share
of fighting. In June Of last year 1t
was sent into the front line between
Montdidier and Paris, to stem the
German wave. 1t attacked and re-
took the village of Bouresches, held
by the best of the German guard
regiments. At Belleau Wood it gave
signal evidence of it's superiority over
the foe, and it's capture of VauX.
July I, is one Of the most brilliant
incidents of the war. Later it was
in the thrust towards Scissors, and
still later took part in the St. Mihiel
and the Meuse-Argonne drives. 1t
was in the front line twice in the lat
ter. On the day the armistice was
signed this division was in the line
just east of Beaumont All the regi-
ments in this division had plenty Of
opportunity to see action, and none
Of them missed battle.

Yamamoto Criticises Japan.

been aroused in Japan by the remarks
concerning Japan's attitude toward
China, made by Tadasaburo Yamamot
to, one of the most prominent figures
IN Japanese steamship circles, who
mas just returned from an extensive
trip through China. He had been in
emma on business, he said, every
year during the past twenty years,
and he had been startled this time
by the remarkably changed atti-
tude Of the Chinese toward the Jap
Ex-President Ii regretted Japan's
dealings with China during the early
part of the war and he used bitter
words against the japanese demands
contained in the historical TWENTY
one articles. Mr.. Yamamoto CON
tinued:
Mr.. Lii contrasted American con-
duct in China to Japan's. The United
States was peaceful and generous
and showed in everything She does
that she is truly China's friend, with
no motive of aggression This is
why America is liked by the Chinese.
OF course. Mr.. Lii well understood the
future welfare of the far east can be
promoted only by the cooperation of
Japan and China, and he hoped
heartily to see the two countries
shoulder to shoulder in keeping the
peace of the orient. But before that
is possible japan has to change her
attitude.
The ex-president's opinion repre-
sents, if 1 am not mistaken. the
Chlnese public opinion toward Japan.
Gentlemen" said Mr.. Yamamota. in
concluding his remarks, 'it is high
time for us to change our attitude
toward China. If we lose her SYM
pathy and the world is against US,
who knows what our future will be !?

Kato Scores Japan's Policy.

TOXIC, July 8 Correspondence of
the Associated Press).-Viscount
Kato, former foreign minister and
now president of the Kenseikai, or
opposition party, yesterday. referring
to the Shantung question, maintained
Japan's prestige has been greatly
lowered in the eyes of the world on
account of the slipshod manner in
which it was handled by the govern
ment. He declared that China should
be taught that the establishment of
an exclusive settlement and the build
ing of railways by Japan in Shantung
does by no means constitute viola
ton of China's sovereignty. He added:
In this connection it has been re-
ported that the Anglo-American AS
ISOLATED at Peking has passed reso-
luton to the effect that the Shan
tung question is destined to disturb
the peace. not only between Japan
and China, but also that of the en-
tire world. This is a most bold reso-
luton to be passed by a foreign as
ISOLATION and it would be interesting
to know what step has been taken
by the government in the matter
Great Britain has been allied to ia
pan during the last twenty years, and
II Japan has given offense to the
British to such an extent as to force
them to pass such a resolution, strict
inquiry must be made into the cause
of the offense."
