.PREs|DENT-ELECT
 jS EAGER SEEKER
 AFTER INFORMATION

ALBANY, N. Y, Dec. 14,-Pres- ident-Elect Franklin D. Roosevelt's $ friendlineSS and conversational fa- cility often present a problem to Guernsey T. Cross, James Mahoney and others of his secretarial staff.
 Frequently, the secretaries find themselves with an outer office of visitors on their hands and MT. Roosevelt talking 20 minutes with an individual allotted five.
 The PreSident-Elect is an eager seeker of information and if the casual visitor is well acquainted with some one subject that has in trigued Mr. RooseVelt's fancy but which he has been uable to pur- sue, that visitor will likely remain much longer than the secretaries intend.
 There is no formality about a visit with MT. Roosevelt. If his AAONAo oV tilC SGdGS CdplGdl are crowded, he likely will invite the caller to have dinner at the man. sion, or drop in after dinner or see him at breakfast.
 Once or twice a week, the Ex- ecutive Mansion household attends the movies in an improvised thea ter on an upper floor of the old house.
 MT. Roosevelt and his guests may have important matters to discuss; there may be appeals to save men from the electric chair to be decided before the next day; or there may be impending impor- tant conferences with party lead CTS or legislators-but all these are pushed aside for the session at the movies.
 The Roosevelts and their guests occupy the front seats in the the ater, and the servants and other attendants sit behind them.
 The show over, MT. Roosevelt goes back to his tasks, and all other subjects are sidetracked for the business at hand.

BLAME PLACED ON CHINESE.
Naval Attache Here Says Troops
Ignored Truce Agreement.

Japanese naval forces were ordered
to Shanghai merely to reinforce the
small body of beseiged sailors and to
protect the $4,000 japanese residents OF
the city, an official explanation received
by the Japanese naval attache at Wash
ington and made public today, declared
This explanation, communicated early
yesterday from the Japanese navy de-
partment, Is as follows:
AT 3.l5 o'clock on the afternoon OF
January % the Chinese authorities at
Shanghai accepted our demands which
had been presented to them. At the
same time, however, conditions in the
Chapel district and the adjoining sec
ton of the International Settlement
had become so alarming that at O'Clock
on the same afternoon the Municipal
Council of the Settlement declared a
state of emergency.
Accordingly, it was decided that the
respective garrisions of the various ma
tions should Immediately be placed on
duty, each taking an assigned section
in conformity with the agreement which
had been made between the COM
manders Of those garrisons.
I'm accordance with the above ar
rangement, at 615 o'clock on the same
afternoon, the japanese consul general
and Rear Admiral Shiozawa notified
the Chinese authorities of the measure
which we had decided to take, in CO.
operation with the garrisons OF the
other nations. At II o'clock of that
night, in pursuance Of the above notifi-
cation, our sailors preceded to the sec
ton assigned to them, when they were
suddenly fired upon by the Chinese
troops. Consequently, our sailors were
forced to return fire in selfdefense.
"At o'clock on the evening Of the
29th, truce was agreed upon between
the Chinese authorities and our COM
mander. But while our sailors were on
duty within the assigned section, the
Chinese troops, disregarding the truce
agreement, continued to fire upon them
both with rifles and guns. The firing
continued intermittently for three days
and nights. While these frontal attacks
were going on, Chinese snipers in mutt
were extensively employed to create dis
turbance within the section assigned to
us for protection.
THE dispatch of the necessary naval
forces to Shanghai and the measures
taken have no other purpose than to
reinforce the small force of our sailors
who have been besieged by the Chinese
troops. estimated at 10000, and to pro-
tect the $4,000 japanese residents whose
lives and property have been in eminent
danger of destruction"

can sailors or of the japanese Navy's
lack of the cooperative spirit
AS far as we know, there is abso-
lutely no foundation for these stories.
We honestly epdeavored to cooperate
with the foreigfgarrisons as far as the
local circumstances and the require
ments of self-defense permitted
Our public in Japan also ought to
dispel the notion that the Americans
and British are unfriendly to us. They
were very active in their efforts to re-
store order and stabilize the situation
They have been offering their good Of
fees to save Shanghai from curt war
fare They have never tried deliber-
ately to interfere to our disadvantage
Such misunderstanding should be
dispelled Immediately I hope the for
eign public will make allowances for
the fact that in inevitable hurry and
confusion, such as that at Shanghai,
sometimes reports are cabled which, al
though honestly meant, do grave injus-
tice to one party Most of the charges
against the Japanese Navy at Shang-
hal appear to have resulted from such
circumstances.
The world can trust the traditions
and discipline OF the Japanese navy.
