MOSQUITOES ARE
OFF ARSHLAND
But Crop Greatly Increased By
Fresh Water Variety

TRENTON. Aug. sa0.-Specimens of
mosquitoes obtained this summer by
the New Jersey State Department of
Conservation and Development show
that 95 per cent. of the insects are
bred on the 500, 900 acres of marsh
land, that lie behind the coastal
beaches and border the waterways of
the state, according to announcement
by the state department today.
1t was also declared from the de-
partment that the crop of mosquitoes
this year has been greatly increased
by fresh water varieties. This, con
dition is attributed to the heavy and
continuous rains that have visited
New Jersey during the summer. 1t
vas also said that 100. 900 acres, rep
~resenting about one-third of the tide
marshes within the state have already
been successfully ditched and mo-
squito crops destroyed, but that with
swarms of the pests still migrating
from undrained areas nine mosquitoes
now prevent IS much sleep as ten
previously. 1t vas stated to-day that
only the female mosquito bites. By OBJ
tanning twenty-five cents from each
person in New Jersey and thus rails
ing a fund of 500, 900, which added
to what the counties are now spend
ing, would effectively relieve New Jer-
sey of the pests within five years, the
department announced.

OPTIMISTIC ON
JAPAN RELATIONS
Vlscount Ishii Says He Sees No
Trouble With America
ASSOCIATED Press oorrespondence.)

TOXIC, July 17.@In an interview
on arriving here, Vicount Ishii, Jap
anese ambassador to- Washington, said
that he held an entirely optimistic
view in regards to the relations be-
tween the United States and Japan.
He said there vas no collision of vital
interests between the two countries
or any problem, although occasional
propagandists may talk about a Jap
an-American war, which may lead
some people to believe hat relations
+ strained between the two nations.
He believes that, Americas vital in
terests are mainly in the European
and Latin American markets and not
in the Oriental market. To his mind
Americas safety in the Far East lies
in her developing China industrially
and commercially hand in hand with
Japan as well as with the other powA
erS.
He believes the American govern
ment and the people in general are
confident hat Japan will not destroy
the principle of open DOR and equal
opportunities at the expense of the
United States. He approved the
American proposition for the finan-
cial consortium for China.
