JAPAN AROUSED FROM
LETHARGY BY RUSSIA,
PREMIER'S TRIBUTE
Okuma Trnnsfcrs Credit for
Nipponese Awakening From
Commodore Perry to Alex
ander I's Envoy
MAY BE SLAP TO THE U. S.
By MARQUIS OKUMA
rremUr of the Japanese Empire.
In turning to history, one finds that dur
ing the close of! the eighteenth century
there were great revolutionary disturb
ances throughout Europe, with France as
the center.
Jlusula was also beset with both Internal
and external problems. Alcxnndcr the
First repulsed Napoleon and attempted to
restore good government to ItussU. With
the Intention of developing th Orient ho
sent a mission to Japan vo open that coun
try to foreign Intercourse. One hundred
years ago a Russian emissary, with the
Imperial message from the Czar, catno to
Nagasaki.
Borne historians Ray that the man who
broko tho drenm of Isolation that Japan
had slumbered for 300 years, was Com
modore Matthew ePrry. But. In Tact, It
waa Nicholas Itanoff. tho Husilan Envoy,
who. In 1803, awakened the Japanese Em
pire from her long sleep Some state that
Itussla demanded Intercourse with Jnpan
with an object of aggression. That Is a
irreat mistake, nnd I firmly believe Alex
ander had no such Intentions.
Thus 50 years before tho Amerlcnn En
voy camo to Japan wo were uwaltcned by
Itussla.
The foregoing Is n. translation from a
signed article published In the Knkumln
Shlmbun, a Toklo newspaper. July 10. 1016.
Tho newspaper has Just reached America
and Count Okuma'u nrtlcle Is nttrajtlng
profound Interest, ny some observers of
foreign affairs' It Is Interpreted to Indicate
a deliberate deslro to show that Japan's
affection for this country has cooled.
Others, however, think It shows only a pur
pose to reconcile tho Japanese people to
tho new Uusso-Japanese treaty signed Just
even days bnforo Count Okuma announced
that Itussla had "discovered" Japan.
At the Japanese Embassy It Is declared
that the historical article, even though the
rremlor was author, was "not Inspired by
the CJovernmcnt." It was not designed to
mold public opinion to conform to tho Gov
ernment's new treaty venture, Embassy
officials said.

GREAT FORTRESS OF GORIZIA
CAPTURE!) HV CADOKNA'S
ARMY; 10,000 PRISONERS
ROM 13, Aug. 9 The Italians have cap
tured Gorlzla.
OHclal announcement of this victory, the
greatest won by the Italians since the war
ngalnst Austria-Hungary was begun, was
made by the War Office today.
Tho Italians captured 10.000 prisoners.
The fall of Oorlzln, which was the key
note of the Austro-Hungarlan front nlong
the Isonzo Itlvcr. means the opening of
tho road to Trlesto for Lieutenant Gcnoial
Cadorna's victorious Italian army.
Not, only will the defense ot the great
Austrian seaport be practically Impossible
hereafter, according to military experts,
but the naval stronghold of I'ola will be
menaced.
OorlJla was one ot tho original objectives-
of tho Itnllnn army which Invaded
Austria nnd U has been under attack for
a year, but it was not until tho bridgehead
fell on Mnndiy night that the way wns
opened for a direct drlv upon the Inner
defenses on the nstern still's of the Isonio.
Tho capture of the fortr Is the most
severe blow tho Attstro-lfiingarlnns have
sustained from tho Italians since tho two
countries went to unr
When tho Italians entered the city they
found It a pllo of ruins, for ltundreds of
thousands shells of ult calibers had been
hurled Into It.
It Is now doubtful If an Austro-llun-garian
army of defense can operate safely
on the 1st Han peninsula wltTVnit running
tho risk of being cut oil from Its land base
bv tho Itnllnn advance toward the low
hills In which the Julian Alps terminate.

membership of tho State Board of Health
was elated over the fact that the situation
gives Indications of being under control.
"Only eight new cases have developed In
the State." he said, "And none at all at
Bristol, where we feared the epidemic would
get beyond our control. The morning
newspapers stated that two new cases had
been dovelopcd there, but these were cases
known for some time, but not mado public.
So virtually no new cases havo developed.
Doctor Calms. Chief City Medical In

there Is a continual llnc-up of mothers with
babies who are anxious for health certifi

return they will not be Inconvenienced by

officers In giving the certificates were handi
capped by the fact that a number of phy
Blclnim In the papers addressed to the clt)
authorities had failed to state tho name,

nppllcant. , , .
New Jcrscv, It was nnnounced, will be
gin Its campaign of retaliation ag.tlnit
Pennsylvania on August 16, when no one
from this State will be allowed to enter
New Jersey without a health certificate.
The quarantine was made to Include
Wnyno Junction and the Baltimore and
nhin iitintia init.iv. Dr. J. M. Campbell,
5112 Spruce street, chief of tho Biological
Department of the State Board ot Health,
hns been placed In charge of the medical
Inspectors In Philadelphia. Ho said thnt
the department was doing Its best to stop
tho epidemic with tho least Inconvenience
to the public.
Complaints havo reached tho olllces of
Dr. Samuel G Dixon, Stato Commissioner
of Health, ngalnst the methods pursued by
tho health authorities In Camden with the
quarantine, nnd several charges have been
made that their methods are so loose as
almost to nullify the effects of the quaran
tine In the regulation of the tralllc between
Philadelphia and Camdev This matter Is
being Investigated thoroughly today.
CAMDEN OFFICIAL AROUSED
Dr. John F. Lcavitt. Camden's health
officer, denied tho statement attributed to
Dr. Samuel G Dixon, Pennsylvania Com
missioner of Health, that tho Camden au
thorities wcro negligently nttendlng to tho
matter of health certificates.
'That statement places us In an awk
ward light." he declared. "And I want to
Hay that the certificates hero are Just nB
good as any Dixon could Issue. His In
ference thnt boys arc celling our certificates
at tho ferries Is untrue. Every person who
receives a certificate Is thoroughly examined
cither by myself or by Dr. W. M. Isznrd.
If Pennsylvania persists In her attitude,
bollcvlng thnt every Stato except herself
Is contaminated, that It Is time for us
over here to operate a quarantine, so that
Pennsylvania can remain truo In her Iso
lation." Physicians here nre nwaltlng with Inter
est definite Information on tho success of
a new treatment administered to sufferers
of Infnntllo paralysis In Now York. This
treatment consists In the Injection of a
serum taken from the bodies of children
who havo""lccn stricken with the disease but
whe havo recovered. It Is used Just as diph
theria antitoxin.
Blood is drawn from a person who has
recovered, and Is allowed to settle. The
scrum, which is a culture of the germs,
forms on' top. Tho problem facing physi
cians who are experimenting with the serum
In New York Is that they have been unable
to find an animal to inoculate with tho
disease for tho purpose of obtaining tho
antitoxin, and not enough blood can bo
drawn from a human being to be of univer
sal practical use, as 10 cubic centimeters
Injected In small doses Is necessary to effect
a cure.
Dr. Theodore I,e Boutelller, of this city,
who Is an authority on tho disease, said he

PREDICT JERSEY QUARANTINE.
Medical Inspectors hero predict that Now
Jersey -vlll establish a quarantine within a
short lime similar to the ono In effect In
?hl, State, as the children, plague has
gained much headway In that Stats.
Such an arrangement, It Is thought, may
make the Pennsylvania quarantine more ef
fectha than at present, especially at the
ferries In this city. Information was
brought to Doctor Dixon that the Camden
authorities had Issued one-day certificates
In a wholesale, manner to children coming
Into this city without anything like a thor
ough Inquiry.
It vats Bald that all that was necessary
to procure a certificate was to Btale one's
name, residence nnd age, nnd that nt tho
Camden City Hall tew wore questioned ns
to whether they had been In contact with
tho diseases. It became so easy to obtain
these certificates that several boys procured
a supply and Bold them at tho Camden
fcrrleb
With tho exception of this one place,
however, reports from all sections Indlcntcd
that the 1000 Inspectors guarding State
lines were doing cffectlvo work In keeping
children out of thn Stato unless they had a
clean bill of health.
