TROOPS 00 INTO LuituUStalis Troops (*o In Pursnit of Mexican Bandits Who Hidd‘Amer ican AViators for Ransom. Troops Supported by Communication Line. Marfa, Texas, Aug. 19.—American troops of the eighth cavalry, with avia tors flying ‘bombing planes acting as scouts ahead of the column swept hcross the Mexican border early, today as a punitive expedition in pursuit of the bandit band under Jesus Renteria, who held the American army aviators Peterspn and Davis, prisoners in Mexi co, it was announced at military head quarters here today. The troops are supported by an ade quate communication line, pack trains carrying the field wireless for use when out of touefr with the aviators wlo 'are^#6flt!gy~tlie^feTitli e fRilnagE ff- district for the bandits. Col. Langhorne sent a message to Gen.

Return will be Made sary Delay, Says Japanese Premier. Dependent Upon Attitude of China. Tokio, Aug. 12.—Restitution to China by Japan of those parts of Shantung province, Including Kiao Chow, now occupied by Japanese forces, will be made without unnecessary delay, but the time required will be dependent upon the attitude of China, said Takashl Kara, Japanese premier, to day in answer to a question as to when actual restoration would take place The premier, in answering the query of the Associated Press, made the following statement: “My col league. Viscount Uchida,‘ minister of foreign affairs, issued a statement on explanation of our policy respecting the Shantung question That statement represents the consid ered opinion of this government an< I have little to add in dealing with the same subject. Viscoune Uchida, in his statement, which was referred to by the premier, said that Japan was willing to restore Shantung to China and would enter into negotiations with the Peking gov ernment as soon as possible after the Versailles treaty should be ratified by Japan. “The question is often asked as to when Japan will return Kiao Chow to China. I would point ttut in reply that for the restitution of Kiao Chow detailed arrangements should be worked out beforehand in common ac cord between the Japanese and China governments and that the length o time required for such arrangemnts depends largely upon the attitude of China. In any case, we fully realize that it is as much in our own inter est as In the Interests of China to ac celerate the conclusions of all needed arrangements and. to egect without unnecessary delay the restitution o: leased territory which we have sol emnly undertaken. Premier Hara and high officials o: the Japanese government discussed frankly with the correspondent what was called the “wave of anti-Japanese feeling in America. They were plainly disturbed by reliable reports received] leased Davis was brought forward by here showing uneasiness as to Japan’: attitude relative to Shantung as jane cause for the sentiment of discon tent among the friends of Japan, but felt Japan’s repeated assurances as to restitution Jwith the premier’s statement to the Associated Press o- day should clear the Air and prevent any deplorable misunderstanding. It is frankly admitted here that Japan’s so-called miltarism is re- sponsibe for much uneasiness abroad. The Japanese insist there is a distinct movement under way to curb any ex cessive influence held by the militar ists which might be calculated to be harmful to th legitimate development of the nation and inimical to Japan’s relations with America. _ _ Japanese Liberals are deeply inter ested in an article written from Am erica by Dr. Inaso Nitobe of the impe rial university of Japan. The causes of sentiment adverse to Japan are given, by Dr. Nitobe as follows: Chinese anger against Japan." Korean hostility. Anti-Japanese feeling in California. Anti-Japanese propaganda by Brit ish tr^prs in China. Party tactics by opponents of Presi dent Wilson. German propaganda. The idea that Japanese militarism is a menace to democracy. In elaborating the last named point, Dr. Nitobe said a reason .for the unpopularity of Japan among Europeans and Americans was found in the activity of Japanese militar ists, the writer adding that it was the ^pinion that because of her militarist elements, Japan is regarded as a dan gerous nation to humanity, democracy and freedom. “Nothing can be more harmful than to be igonrant of the general trend of the world and to be blinded by ambition ayl narrow minded pa triotism,” Dr. Nitobe writes. ‘‘‘The militarists of my country are not only unable to appreciate^ the spiritual meaning taught by the great war, but are, so to speak, unconscious traitors to the empire. ‘Regardless of the great truth that the warrior’s sword sooner or later will put a country in peril, they have copied everything German with the result that my coun try is isolated. I do not mean to dis parage the army and navy, but would not tolerate for a moment their inter ference in politics and diplomacy.. In regard to the Tientsin incident, Japan holds that the fundamental cause of the collision between Japanese and Americans was the fact tflat the Am erican-troops Entered the Japanese concssion in that city on the night of March 21 and that America should recognise the truth of this assertion.’’ Newspapers, which are reappearing after the recent shutdown, due to the printers’strike, attack the statement made by Visooun Uchida on August Washington, Aug. 19.—Gov. Hobby in ordering the Texas National Guard ready to respond to any emergency call for border service, was acting upon his own initiative, it was said to day at the war department. Officials, however, said that for some weeks the department had been endeavoring to havfT the reorganized national guard of Texas brought up to the.pre-war strength. Aviators Rescued. Marfa, Tex., Aug. 19.—Lieut. H. Q. Peterson and Lieut. Paul H. Davis, aviators of the United States army, held captive for more than a week by Mexican bandits who demanded a ran som of $15,000 were rescued early this morning by Capt. Matlack, of the Eighth cavalry, and are safe in Ameri can territory. Capt. Matlack brought back with him one-half of the ransom money. He said after Peterson had been re- the bandits and the two mounted Mat- lack’s horse. The bandits demanded the remainder of the ransom money and Captain Matlack and Davis an swered by riding rapidly away. r Much Money In Banks. James H.
