treaty should be ratified.
Defeat of a suffrage measure sup
ported by the kensei-Kai. OF Opposition,
party in the House of Representatives
to-day has resulted in the expulsion OF
Yukio Ozaki and Daikichiro Tagawa
two leaders of that organization. The
reason assigned for their expulsion was
their failure to rally in support Of the
party's bill, NJ. Ozah announcing that
the Kensei-Kai measure was out OF
order. since another Suffrage bill, sup
ported by the Kokumin-to party, was
already before the House.
NJ. Ozaki has been prominent in urging
a resolution that the Japanese Govern
mont approach foreign Powers with a
view TO reaching an agreement restricts
ing ornaments, and II is believed his
attitude In this matter affected his sit
uation in the party. as his views were
not shared by NJ. Kato, head OF the
Kensel-Rai. Immediately after IL was
announced that NJ. Ozaki had been read
out of the organization twenty-seven
members of the House resigned from the
Kensel-Kai out OF sympathy with him.
Wachi Seki, pupil of Woodrow VIII
s"~ at Princeton University. led the de-
tie in favor of the bill introduced by
the Kensei-Kai.

TOXIC, Feb. (delayed) Questioned
in the Diet to-day whether the Anglo

war between Japan and the United
States. viscount Uchida. Foreign Min
lister. replied that the United States
never had been considered as country
to which the terms of the alliance APP
piled and that Japan and Great Britain
had agreed to regard the peace commits
sion agreement OF 1914 as equivalent to
the general arbitration referred to In
Article ". of the alliance of 1911.
Representative Uyehara asked wheth-
err Japan had ever been notified that the
Interpretation of Article w. would be
a general arbitration treaty with the
United States.
Viscount Uchida replied in the mega
tive. but said opinions were exchanged
while the arbitration treaty was being
negotiated and he regretted that con-
sideration of diplomatic secrecy pre-
vented publication of the British view.
Then NJ. Uyehara asked II Great Brit
ain considered herself exempt from the
obligation of assisting Japan in the
event of Japanese-American war.
The Foreign Minister In reply said
that though a general arbitration treaty
had not been concluded, the peace COM
mission agreement OF 1914 was regarded
as an equivalent.
so far as l know" he added. ..the
United States was never considered
when the alliance was concluded and
Article ~. was never meant to apply
to Great Britain. In my opinion there
was an understanding between Japan
and Great Britain that Article ". did
not apply to the United States"
Asked what policy would be adopted
when the alliance was again revised,
Niscount Uchida declared due regard
would be paid to the notifications given
to the League of Nations last July by
England and Japan.
Negotiations relative to the California
question between the United States and
Japan may encounter difficulties which
will delay final settlement. according to
newspapers here. but their comments are
vague and are based on conjectures, as
the text Of the preliminary accord be-
tween the two countries has not been
made public.
Both the Hochi SHIN bun and the
Kokunin Shimbun lay emphasis upon
the apparent fact that the gentlemen
agreement" between the United States
and Japan has been made more strin-

agreement will function even II the ma

POLISH IRREGULARS
TO EVACUATE WILMA
Will Withdraw When Date for
Lithuanian Plebiscite
Is Fixed.

PARIS, Feb. 5.--vilna will be evacu-
ated by Polish irregular" troops as
soon as the date for the Lithuanian
plebiscite is fixed and an international
occupation contingent has arrived. under
a. formal promise made to Leon Bour-
geois. president of the Council of the
League of Nations. by President Pill
sudski Of Poland yesterday, says the
Petit Parisien. Gen. Zelgousli, at the
head of Polish irregular troops, entered
Wilma early last october and since that
time has been In control Of the pro-
visional Government he established
there.
1t is understood that Gen. Pilsudski's
trip to Paris will probably be more ex-
tended than he at first contemplated,
owing to the number and completely of
the questions he is discussing with
French officials. He sent for the Polish
Minister of Finance yesterday. and the
hope is expressed in Polish circles here
that the presence of the Minister will
expedite conversations relative to a
Franco Polish accord, which are now in
progress In this city.
Receiving the Ambassadors of Great
Britain. Italy and Japan this afternoon,
Premier BRAND made an announcement
to them as follows:
ION the occasion of the visit Of Pres
ident Pilsudski, the Governments Of
France and Poland agreed upon the fol-
lowing declaration:
1.-The Governments Of France and
Poland. equally anxious to safeguard
their security and the peace of Europe,
have recognized once more the COM
munity OF interests uniting these two
friendly countries.
Premier BRAND conferred at length
this morning with Prince Sapiehn. the
Polish Foreign Minister, on a political
and economic entente. A commercial
accord between France and Poland has
virtually been completed. II provides
for the exchange OF certain products. a
customs agreement and political ne
gotiations for the purpose OF arriving
at a common policy regarding Russia
and the Baltic states. The accord, how
ever, still is tentative.
BERN. Feb. Sit is understood here
that the request made by the League
Of Nations for permission for interna-
tionai troops on their way to the Wilma
plebiscite area to traverse Switzerland
will probably be withdrawn. This Is In
view of the attitude OF the Swiss Gov
eminent, which had been indicated as
opposed to such permission, because
OF the desire not to permit in any way
a departure from Swiss neutrahty.
