WSCOUNT ISHII is
COMING TO AMERICA
(By Associated Press)

TOXIC, May Pat is understood
that the forthcoming return Of Wis
count Ishii, the Japanese ambassador
to Washington, is connected with a
misunderstanding concerning the ap.
pointment of financial advisor to
China
The japanese government appointed
Baron Sakatani, financial advisor to
the Peking government. Before TAX
ing this step, however, the Washing
ton government was sounded on the
question. Viscount Ishii, it appears,
reported to Toxic that Washington
had no objection to the appointment.
Later, DR.. Reinsch, the American min
lister to China, entered protest to
the naming Of Baron Sakatani.
This led to inquiries at Washington
and it transpired that a misunder-
standing had occurred and that the
American government had not approx.
ed the appointment.
Viscount Ishii, who had the contrary
impression, was much embarrassed
and requested leave of absence. The
entire question may be explained as
due to language difficulty.
Viscount Ishii is regarded here as a
very able diplomat and efforts will be
made to induce him to remain in the
service as Japan's representative at
Washington.

US. Will TRAIN
LOCAL SOLDIER
MANNED IN War
Robert J. Mendenhall is Or
dered to Report to Boston
for Mechanical Course.

Robert J. Mendenhall, a returned
disabled soldier, has been informed
by w. F. Shaw, acting district voca-
tional officer, with headquarters at
Cincinnati, to report to that city at
once SO that he may proceed to Bos-
ton where the government will give
him a course In mechanical dentistry
at the Forsythe Dental Infirmary.
Mendenhall is one of the disabled
soldiers who applied for vocational re-
training, provided by the government,
free of expense, for the fighters who
want to prepare themselves to become
self-supporting citizens
Paid Well While Training.
w. A. Johnson, manufacturer of arti-
fetal limbs at Cincinnati, who was in
the city today, said the government
had placed three disabled soldiers in
his plant to learn the trade. The gov
eminent pays the men $50 a month
each. and Mr.. Johnson pays each one
$50 monthly.
1t was pointed ott by members Of
the Elks' soldier friends committee
here that this indicates the extent to
which the government is going to
assist Q1S6DIeQ uSnterS.
Disabled fighters Of Wayne county
are urged to apply at Red Cross head
quarters at once to file their compen-
sation claims and apply for vocational
retraining.
One of the difficulties the federal
board for vocational education has en-
countered in its work of re-education
| is that Of convincing disabled men of
L - nj 80 !.
| eminent. That all expenses Of re
training are paid and in addition the
| needs Of wife and children supplied; /;
| that this is not considered loan, but
| the payment of just debt, and that
their only obligation is to make good
and useful citizens of themselves
seems too good to be true. But when
the disabled soldier realizes that he is
but of national gratitude, he accepts
| the proffered offer of retraining with
good grace.
Many Already Registered.
| Already there have been s1,741 mer
| to register with the board, the Voca
tional Advisers have made contracts
| with 52.367 of these and 2,079 have
started their training under the guild
ance of the federal board for voca
tional education.
OF the 4,376 cases approved fol
training by the federal board for vo
cational training over 1900 of then
have been approved for trade and in
dustrial training, s46 for agricultural
more than 1,200 for commercial ant
business courses, about $50 for profes
sional courses. Three hundred ant
i ninety-two are taking academic train
ing and SO are studying in some spe
cial course.
The Red Cross, Y NJ. C. A. and tn,
Soldier Friends committee of the 1oca
lodge of Elks are urging disabled sol
diers to accept the governments offe
of retraining.

RETURN OF NAVY
TO PEACE BASIS
kN0TTY PROBLEM
tBy Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, May 24-Ways and
means for getting the navy and ma
rine corps strength down to a peace
time basis has been the subject Of
several conferences between Secretary
Daniels and his bureau chiefs during
the past few days. The problem Is re-
garded as one of the knottiest post
war puzzles now confronting the de-
partment and although great progress
has been made In demobilizing the
navy proper since the armistice was
signed, thousands of officers and en-
listed men still must be released be-
fore normal strength Is reached. It
Is believed by officers concerned, how
ever, that at the present rate OF de-
mobilization the numerical strength of
the navy will be well below the $780,
900 mark set by the secretary at the
end of the fiscal year, July 1.
On May 1 there were 2S5,000 offic-
ers and enlisted men In the service, a
reduction since Nov. II of 245, 900. The
figure set for. the reduced strength of
the navy in the senate naval defici-
ency bill Of the last congress was $780,
900 and in the house bill the number
was placed at 225, ,000 Based on a to.
/ tai strength of 250,000 men, naval Of
ficials are confronted with the neces-
sity for reducing the officer personnel
from more than 10000 now on duty to
less than 10 1000 by July l.
The question of readjusting the rank
of officers of the regular navy on the
basis of the peace time strength is
another puzzle. To meet the rapid In
crease of the naval establishment
during the war practically all of the
regular officers were temporarily pro
NOTED one or more grades. Getting
the navy back to a peace time basis
means the majority of these officers
must be returned to their former rank
