with caulitlower ear to deliver to
sundry writer's invitations to dine.
Night after night Mr.. Mochizukl en-
tertained individual members of the
press in his diggings. Rumor hath
y that the wassails lasted late and
long. In fact. rumor became so in
sistent that some energetic reporters
even sought to intrude themselves
upon the sacred presence of Mr..
Mochizuki. He received them all, in
vited and unlimited guests. lie ex-

Several young Japanese who are

stated To American correspondents
that they We're much impressed with
Mr.. MochlzulSi's arguments. Some
even went so far as to say that Ad-
miral Baron kato had "come a crop
per- at the Washington arms con-
ference. One OF these moulders OF
public opinion said these words:
"kato should have done something
sentational--even as your Mr. Hughes.
The latter astounded the world by
presenting concrete plan for limita-

have offered "A programme for control

his days and nights merely Offering

the froth of his work. In one of his
rooms he kept four secretaries at
J work. Their sole business was the
/ reading Of almost every daily news
paper published in America. Every
editorial and newspaper article which
spoke disparagingly OF Japan was
eagerly clipped and preserved. Until
six o'clock last night he had four
waste-paper baskets filled with them.
and 10y this morning It was calculated,
hys a friendly observer. that the fifth
basket was almost filled. Those clip
fplngs Mr. MochizuN today takes with
him To Japan. There he will present
them at the opening of the Japanese
Diet and say in words something like
these:
behold this is the result of the
work of the Admiral Baron kato, he
who leans toward the Seiyukai party

have formed friendly relations. ETC.
