In assuming- such, responsibilities, however, I am largely encouraged by my vivid recollec tions of the pleasant experiences I 'had dur ing my last tenure of office aa His Majesty's Minister in this capital, -whirh were, I dare say, entirely due to the conlldence and good will I was fortunate enough to receive from your Government as well as the high sense of Justice that always characterized its at titude toward my country.

I feel that I can do even more than reciprocate those assurances. On behalf of this Government and of my countrymen, I can most sincerely pledge to you. and through you to your nation, the earnest co-operation of the T'nited States In all that may tend to raaln tan and to more flrmy establish the good will we mutually bear and to foster the ma terial advantage of the two nations In the paths of tranquil prosperity.

In accepting the letters of recall of your worthy predecessor I have to assure you of our good wishes In his behalf. I be-g, Mr. Ambassador, that you will con vey to your august sovereign my personal wishes fr his continued health, happiness and welfare, and that through the appro priate channel you will make known to your government and to your fellow-citizens the earnest wishes of the Government and peo ple of the United States for the prosperity and well-being of the Japanese nation.

EXPLAINS MILITARY MOVE Preparations Along Border Made Necessary by Internal Situation, Including Armenia and Kur distan, It Is Declared. ST. PETTCRSBURO. Feb. 20. A repre sentative of the Foreign Office declared today that Russia had received definite assurances that the Turkish military preparations in Northwestern Turkey in the vicinity of the Russian border were not directed against Russia but were made necessary by the threatening In ternal situation in this nation, which in cludes Armenia and Kurdistan. Assurance has been conveyed also that the Sultan has no wish to quarrel with Russia. The Foreign Office looks with dlBfavor upon the bellicose attitude assumed by a portion of the Russian press as this tends to complicate an International sit uation already in a delicate stage. "Whether the Turks believe themselves to be confronted with a revival of the Armenian revolutionary movement Is not stated but the recent discovery of a large quantity of arms in the province of Van may be recalled In this connection. The above assurances have received due consideration here and it was further explained that, the steps which the gen eral staff is taking In the Caucasus should in no case be regarded as a menace to Turkey, but simply as a precautionary measure which the military authorities must adopt In view of considerable con centration of Turkish troops, regardless of the pacific object of the movement. Hope is entertained here that these as surances will put an end to the alarming rumors regarding the situation on the Turko-Russian frontier that have been circulated abroad. BRING JAPS INTO.
