How Close We Came to War
 In 1916 Is Told By Daniels
(Continucd from Page one)

 cisive weapon Germany regarded it at that time I shall narrate later. Some temporary concession she might make. but where separate need or tempting opportunity appealed to her. there seemed no reason to doubt that Won Tirpitz would forget all pledges and un- dertakings and strike wherever he could do most damage.
 There were those, indeed, who doubt ed if Germany would make even a tenn porary concession, and I think all felt that the possibility of war brooded over us with darkening shadows when we left the White House with the knowl- edge that Americas ultimatum was on its way to Berlin.
 ORDER FOR MOBILIZATION My own apprehensions that relations might be broken off induced me to take immediate steps to have the fleet in readiness The navy department made complete plans for mobilization, and on April 2 I approved the order, and it was forthwith sent to every ship It was accompanied by the mobilization sheets, showing when each battleship and de- stroyer would be available for service. The text of the mobilization order fol- lows:
 Navy Department, Washington, April 27 1916. Confidential
 From: Chief of naval operations. ITO
 Subject: Mobilization plan.
 "1. The following order has this day been approved by the Secretary of the navy:
 T. In case of mobilization for war in the Atlantic the organization of the naval fnrraq will ha indicated in the Tpoh- ilization sheets published from time to time by the department.

JAPANESE OFFICIAL
 OPINION DIVIDED
 REGARDING NOTE
Influential Group Said to Insist Japan Should Maintain Stand on Supreme
 Council Award
By Associated Press

Tokio, April 17.-A sharp division Of opinion in governmental circles as to what attitude should be adopted with re- gard to the American note on mandates is reported by close observers of the sit
 uation. an influential group, it is said, insisting that Japan should maintain her stand on the award made to her by the supreme council at Paris.
 | The Jij Shimpo in an editorial article expresses the opinion that Japan will re- | ply negatively to the note, laying stress on the contention that the supreme couu- | cil's decision in awarding the mandate for the former German islands in the north Pacific to Japan was an agree
 ment collateral to the peace treaty and therefore valid in the same sense as the decisions regarding the distribution of | the German warships. However, tt
 notes that the United States failed to | file a protest when the mandate de- cision was published in May, 1919.
 The Kokumin Shimbun expresses be- | lief that Japan will seek to satisfy America by settling the controversy over ! the Island of Yap separately. The stand point of those who believe Japan should stand upon the council decision is voiced 1 by Prof. Usuigi of the Imperial univer- l sity in an article in which he declares that should Japan be forced to comply with the American demand 1t would be l the greatest national disgrace since the
 return of the Liao-Tung peninusla to China under the pressure of the Euro
 pean powers after the Chfno-Japanese
 war.
 Information from official quarters on | the subject is that Japan Is still in consultation with the allies.
 | The Teikoku News Agency quoted an | unknown cabinet minister as declaring that Japan must follow the deciison or the League of Nations; that she has no right to act by herself against its rul- | ings, and that therefore the questions in- volved should be settled between America
 and the league. This cabinet minister. the newspaper agency declares, expressed the opinion that Japan should reply to
 the United States along the lines indi- l cated.
 | The agency also quotes M Hayashi, l councillor of the foreign office, as say l ing that America should approach the
 League of Nations, as Japan has no
 right to interfere with its decision. Moth ing certain was known as to the views Of Great Britain, France and Italy, the | councillor is quoted adding, but he hoped that, whatever their views were. Japann would remain firm. Until the
 Yap question is settled, Japan, he de-
 clared. according to the agency. must
 maintain her present military adminis- tratiop of the Pacific islands

 Here is another woman who adds her testimony to the many whose letters we have already published, proving that Lydia E.

Therefore it will surely pay any woman whe suffers from ailments peculiar to her sex to give this good old fashioned remedy fair trial.
