The Japanese Jingo.; Cartoon from the Pittsburg Press. HE ORDERS UNCLE SAM TO JUMP. ON BEST TERMS WITH THE JAPS Viscount Aoki Says There Is No "Situation" Takes a Broad View. Washington (Special). Japanese Ambassador Ankl In an Interview, talked freely regarding the relations between the United States and Japan, incidentally expressing disbelief in the rumors that he is to bo recalled. "There Is no 'situation,' " he said, "between Japan and the United States. The best of relations exist, and there is nothing of a diplomatic character under consideration. It is very distressing that there should be agitation over trifles, which are purely of local import, if inrport at all." "Is the Progressive party strong enough to secure your recall?" he was asked. "I do not credit the story of my recaJl," he replied. "The Pro gressives do not have a majority in the national legislature. I do not know what their strength really is, but I think not very great. It is bad that a few excitable ersons should cause the Impression to go out that Japan Is aflame with Indignation over alleged, perhaps imagi nary. Insults. Of course, the government could stop such talk, but to do so might seem to give more Importance to it than would be Justified. Some of our people are very sensitive, and also impulsive. J? 18 a m,stakc however, to Imagine that Japan is anxious for trou ble. Wo want no trouble. We have a population of about 50,000.000, and your country has, perhaps, more than S0.000.000, with much more wealth than Japnn. Tho conquests we seek are those of peace. Wo have entered on a constructive era. As far as the status of my country men in the United States is concerned, it Is possible that they are not well understood, but I see no reason why, when they become used to the ways of the country, they could not assimilate with the people here. "Would you advocate their intermarriage and naturalization?" "Yes." replied Viscount Aoki. "I think it proper, If they Individually see fit, to marry here. I would leave It to them. As for naturalization. Japanese become subjects of other countries, and Europeans In many cases have become suhjects of Japan. I have seen it stated In tho press that they would not be likely to renounce their allegiance to their own country, hut that idea Is exaggerated. The Japanese are not so patriotic. If they go to another country, invest there, become interested in the administration of governmental affairs there they are Japanese no longer. Their Interests are all with the community where they have their homes." The Ambassador declared that It was a fallacy to suppose that any country could ever dominate the Pacific. "It is too big," he declared "and there are too many countries bordering on It. The Interests of all must be conserved. And it Is idle to suppose that Japan can ever hope to control such a vast commerce as even the Asiatic countries will furnish." RIDS FOR MOXSTKR SHU'S. Foreign.

The Hague (By Cable). The sur prise of the second session of the Peace Conference was the formal reservation by Gen. Horace Porter, on behalf of the United States, of the right to present the question of limitation of armaments. Together with this, he also reserved the right to introduce the subject of the col lection of contractual debts by force. While this reservation was made quite natually. In accordance with a notice served on RusbIb during the preliminary negotiations last spring, and In order that silence now might not be construed as acquiescence in the restriction of -the work of the conference to the limits of the 'Rus sian program, it Is believed to Indi cate a firm resolve on the part of the Washington government, after seeing the trend of the situation here, to raise the question later If it becomes apparent that the subject is going by default. It can be stated positively, how ever, that no proKsltlon lias yet been formulated by the American delegates, but this action has re newed the hope that the United States would bring up the question of limitation, and huB given great satisfaction to the pacificists. British Reservation. Sir Edward Fry also served notice that Great Britain reserved the right to introduce subjects outside the program, but less significance is at tached to his action. Another Interesting feature of the session was Ilaron Von Bleberstein's notification that Germany Intended to offer the proposition of an Inter national prize court to which appeals could be made at the time of a mar itime war, and the decision of which should he final. General Porter sec onded this proposition on behalf of the United Stales, and Sir Edward Fry declared that Great Britain pro posed to advance a project on simi lar lines. Thn fact that the first definite pro position submitted to the conference should emanate from Germany and receive the prompt and cordial sup port Of the United States and Great Britain, created an especially good Imiiresslon. Beyond these two matters, the ses sion was prefunctory in character. Four committees were created ns prearranged, and the rules formulat ed, except on permitting countries to vote by proxy, ndopted. The United States was honored by two honorary presidencies, and Mexico, Argentine and Brazil each obtained recognition. Watch for Anarchists.

Third was the grant of customs Immunity at Beirut.
