Scoffs At War Between Japan And United States

SAYS JAPAN HASN’T ANY
BONE OF CONTENTION
TO PICK WITH AMERIC A
(By The Associated Press)
BOSTON, Nov. 30th— The Viscount Admiral Makota
Saito, former Premier of Japan in a second of a series of two
articles published in the Christian Science Monitor, scoffed
at the possibility of war between Japan and the United Sta
tes, but his view on the Russo-Japanese situation were more
serious. .
He said that Japan and the United States had no logical
bone of contention between them, and that aggression by
either of the two powers would not be consistent with the
fundamentals of naval strategy.
On the other hand he said that Japan’s proximity to
Russia, with Tokyo only four and one-half hours by airplane
from Vladivostok, and numerous border incident, together
witbrthe growing power -of Russia’s land, sea and air forces,
makes a situation in which Japan must not “relax its vigil
ence.”
He said that the great distances between Japan and
the United States render successful naval warfare well-nigh
impossible.
Admiral Saito doesn’t consider the Philippines import
ant to the discussion. He stated further that Japan would
be glad to enter into any pact of all countries, guaranteeing
perpetual neutrality of the Islands.

DEPICTS JAPAN AS THE
ONE WHO WANTS NO
AGRESSIONBUT PEACE
(By The Associated Press)
TOKYO, Nov. 30—Foreign Minister Koki Hirota, today
pictured Japan as the champion of “the principle of non
menace and non-aggression” in the deadlock of the naval
conference in London.
The diplomat told the House of Peers in an extra ses
sion, that the Empire was actuated by a spirit of disarma
ment. He sidestepped, however, the motive of Japan’s pre
parations to abrogate the Washington Naval Treaty, but in
stead, declared that the Japanese were continuing their ef
forts in London for “a new and reasonable treaty.”
Also, he did not mention the diplomatic conflict with
America and Great Britain over the Manchurian oil plans,
and Japan’s alleged violation of the open door policy. The
session is scheduled to last seven days, and is regarded as a
test of the present Japanese cabinet.

BABES IN WOODS
MYSTERY SEEMS
TO BE SOLVED
(By The Associated Press)
CARLISLE, Pa,, Nov. 30th—The
mystery of the babies in the woods
is virtually solved, as authorities
were convinced that the bodies of
the three found in. the mountains
and of a man and woman slain in
a shack near Altoona, were those of
Elmo J. Noakes of Roseville, Cali
fornia, his niece Winifred Pierce,
eighteen, and his three daughters,
Codelia, eight; Dewilla ten; and
Corman aged twelve. w
The police were convinced today
that the man killed his daughters
by suffocation and laid their bodies
under a blanket on the mountain
side. They believe that later, he
shot his neice and then took his own
life. The motive for all killings is
still lacking, however.
Identification was made through
an abandoned automobile, by trac
ing the engine number. The initials
of all were scribbled in a childish
hand on the mirror found in the
auto.
Noakes’ brother in Roseville said
that he w as convinced that the iden
tification was correct, as his brother
and the girls left their home some
time ago, mysteriously. He left
Roseville today to claim the bodies.
