from comment upon the shooting OF

thc only opinion voiced is b. the
h.,Todzu Nirokn, which declares in to-
day. issue tnnt the Japanese sentry
acted III accordance with his duty and
that the blame It sted upon the Ameri-
can officer. The Japanese officials are
open to criticism for their "apo,ogetic
stc'tldc' to America, the uewsna per in
slsts, and their "aubservient demcanor"
is likely TO cause Interpretations IN the
Diet
The vladivcs.o!s correspondent Of the
British owned Japan Chronicle sends q
tribute TO the high character Of Lieu
tenant -.nngdoa. describing him as
modest and unageressive. l. stric, tee
lota.er with d kind of physical dread OF

tenant spent most OF ais evenings
quietly With Russian friends II Of

Rcparation ard GUARANTEES Asked
The government has not yet made

that Washington has not only asked

10 Japan the wisdom OF reducing. j.
Aot Withdrawing altogether, her troops
from the country, where She posse sscs
10 sovereign rights, but tho lttoral Of
watch is dominated b. her military
power.
This would open the old lhornv qucs-
tioi which Japan herself, has been
nnding difficulty in settling. A d;v;s-
Ion OF opinion exists in goyernmcnt'
circles as to the Siberian problem. it
is reported here. Leaders Of the r'!i
tary part insist Japanese troops
should remain in Siberia. while the
peace party is seeking lys and means
70 abandon an adventure which, it is
Sid, is ruinously expensive ard with
out hope OF compensation. The I'M
preston exists here that Japan VII,
insist upon solving the question in
her own way and at hcr own time. if
for no other reason than TO assert the
doctrine that she is paramount in the
Far East.
Uneasiness Regarding Relations
The Hara Cabinet appears to retain
It's strength. and it is believed it will
survive tho impending session Of the
japanese Diet, at which relations be-
tween this country and America viii
be discussed.
The correspondent Of The Associated
Press, who has just returned to Toxic
from visit 10 many Of the larger
cities OF the Far East, found some un-
easiness everywhere regarding rela-
lions between japan and the United
States. In well informed circles these
appeared to be based more
lpon what was described as "Japan's
resentment to any American policy cal
:ulatsd to curb Japanese expansion in
Asia than upon. the California ques-
ion. The latter problem, while touch
ns Japan's national prestige and the
interests of Japanese in America. is ap-
oarently not regarded with the same
seriousness as the question O. Japan's
vital interests near Nippon.
