‘l _
Problem of Intervention to Be
Solved Later, With a View to
Japan’* Own Interest*.
—
TOKIO.—The German menace is
not so pressing as to necessitate
' t immediate dispatch of Japanese
• troops to Siberia, said Viscount
' Kato, in a recent address to the
Constitutional Party of which he
is president. “It is necessary for
| Japan to endeavor to conserve her
! national strength and this is no
| time for us to act precipitantly, de
clared the viscount.
I He was aware, the opposition
leader said, that Japanese inter
" vention in Russia was advocated in
, some quarters on the ground that
there was danger of German in
: fluence spreading in the East to
such an extent that German bases
! for submarines, airplanes and zep
I pelins would be established at Vlad
i ivostock. Another reason given for
I intervention was that the com
- ! munism preached by the Lenine gov
ernment in Russia was expected to
! produce a bad effect on Japan. T'ie
| question of intervention, said Vis
' count Kato, should be solved chiefly
'with an eye to Japan’s own inter
ests and not in deference to the
! views of other nations.

10 CONTROL FOOD
Saxons Kick At Laws Prescribed
j By Germany For Regulating
Food Supply.
Saxony has refused to comply with
the German imperial law providing
ifor a uniform ration of food for
I
the whole German empire because

| thorities had declined to reduce the
j daily bread ration of the Saxon

could be sent to Bohemia when the
Germans were suffering from a
shortage of it.

MAI CUSHING
TELLS THE IRISH
HELP JE ALLIES
Distinguished Surgeon Makes An
Appeal to the Irish For Their
Aid in the War.
DUBLIN.-—The American people
expect the Irish to put their hearts
and souls into the war, declared
Major Harvey Cushing, Director of
the United States Army Medical
Service in France, in an address
he delivered at the Dublin Royal
College of Surgeons. He was
speaking in acceptance of an hon
orary fellowship conferred by the
college, and said:
“This war is no half measure to
us in America. We are in it whole
heartedly as a country. Our neigh
bor, Canada, is in as a country and
we expect you also to be in as a
country heart and soul, and you
certainly will- I know what the
Irish have already done in the war
and there is no finer chapter in the
world’s history. But the day is
coming when everywhere there will
be a period of universal national
service, military for those who are
fitted for it, but universal.”
When it comes to patriotism that
gets results, little Henrietta Sully
leads the Douglas juvenile, proces
sion. In two days recently, she
picked and sold flowers to the value
of $3.50, turning the money over
to the Red Cross.
Syrup made from the sap of birch
trees is a food stuff rivaling in sub
stance and flavor the syrup derived
from maple trees, is the opinion of
D. M. Lynch, owner of a marie de
posit north of Anchorage, who has
tapped some of the numerous trees
in his neighborhood and turned their
sap into syrup. He submitted a
sample of his product to William
Gerig, engineer in charge of the An
chorage division of the Government
railroad, who praises the taste and
quality of the syrup. There is a
comparatively heavy stand of birch
timber in the Anchorage section.
A forest fire is reported to have
broken out near McCallum, on the
Valdez trail. It was got under con
trol before much damage had been
done.
