'Admits General ,Hostility for United States but Few Want Trouble. Washington, April 24.--"Japan does tot want war," Is the statement of a rery lprdiinent American who has ust talked with the state depart nen't. "It is true that the militaty Yarty is for the moment in the as :endancy over here. It is also true hat the military party in any country nay thrust tiat country into war by ts- appeals to 'pride and racial feeling. "But the majority of the Japanese lo not want war, any more than the najority of any people iwant war. Purther, the military party is retain ng its hold onl power by such a very lender majority that it may be turned mut at any moment." These cheering statements are sup )lemented -and modified, however, by uis statements as to ithe hostility that Lii classes of Jatpanese seem to feel or the United States. The most extra ordinary attacks upon the United tates, her people, and her statesmen, lave recently, -been made in pubic ;atherings In Japan by Japanse who Lre regarded as among the prominent nembers of the race.' "I do not believe that Shantung will ver be willingly giveni up by the apanese," said lie, "In spite of their romises. They are planning to stay orever, and their likin g for Shantung s based not only on the mineral re ources of the province, but also on he excellent iphysique of the Shantung ion. If Japan gere ever to gain com lete control of the Chinese, these rould make excellent soldiers. I (1o Lot believe the Japanese canl, however. 'lie Chinese blood is too strong. In a eneration the Japanese invaders rould ,be swallowed up by their invol ntary hosts." It is i)ssible to give the name of his 'gentleman. it may be said, how ver, that a few years ago his name ras known to every American as the ngineer of one of the greatest pro acts ever put through to success and personal friend of President Roose elt. le will return to the Orient oon, and his public utterances maust, herefore, he marked by extreme caul lon.

All the cases had -been investigated, lie said. The Iogan plantation comprises several thousand acres and is equip ped 'with moderL farm machinery and has often been described as one of the "model" farms of Georgia.
