progressive step by maintaining a
doctor and proper medical facilities
on all the principal trains leaving
Tokio.

for nearly six years,” said Mr.

YANKHPROTEST
TOKIO, Aug. 3.—In its reply to
the United States, regarding the oc
cupation by Japan of Saghalin, the
Japanese government says that the
occupation is unavoidable, the object
being to maintain national privi
leges. The occupation is only tem
porary, it is pointed out, and the
decision will not be changed by the
American protest. The note makes
it clear that Japan is not seeking
additional territory.
Not Popular.
The American note ^protesting
against the occupation of Saghalin
appears to have made an unfavor
able impression generally through
out Japan, but the hope is ex
pressed that the Japanese govern
ment can convince the United States
that the occupation is only tem
porary.

There is no indication that Japan
will refrain from carrying out the
military arrangements made in con
nection with the problems which
have arisen in Siberia. A forth
coming note to Washington will
outline and amplify previous state
ments made regarding the Japanese
policy in Siberia, and will point out
the temporary character of the oc
cupation of the Saghalin district.
Japanese officials have been careful
to explain to newspapermen that
they regard America as within her
rights in asking for a definition of
the Japanese policy.
