A JAPENESE ROMANCE
(Scrlpps News Association)
London July 18 The Tokio corres
pondent of the Daily Telegraph is the au
thority for a remarkable, story which
throws an interesting light on the intn
cate method emyloyed by the Japanese
in their secret service. For obvious rea
sons no names are given in the story. A
young and promising Japanese officer, of
blameless character, was suddenly called
upon by the Chief of the Staff to take up
a life of dissapation in the interests of a
State cause, which was not divulged.
Obed ence to superior.! is the first law of
the Japenese officer's life. Reluctantly
the youth did as he was bid, and in due
time repugnant though thewhoie proceed
ing was. he managed effectually, with
sake and a geisha, to ruin himself. He
spurned by ns tr ends and turned out of
service. Tne chief of tne Siaff then dis
patched the broken man on a mission to a
neighboring cru try where a first-class
Hower was engaged in a conflict with
native rebels. His military genius soon
made him the rijjnt hand man of the nat
ive chief, and a price was placed upon
his head. The Japanese Government
knew nothing of trie affair, of course, but
when the rebellion was suppressed thu
young officer returned to japan with val
uable information tnal, after some diffi
culty cn his part.no doubt found its way to
the Government pgeon holes. Only the
Oriental mir.d cou d conceive such a: ex
ped.ent for the advancement of prtriot'c
interests. The correspondent does not
state wnether the young Japanese officer
was reinstated, but vouches fur the truth
ful ness of tne story.
