'ZIMMERMANN NOTE CLEW Viscount Ishil, Before Press Club, Says Enemy lias Been Trying to Keep People Apart and That Scheme Is Just Exposed. WASHINOTOK. Sept. 21. German in trigue and propaganda, cleverly ap plied in both countries, have prevented a. full understanding between America and Japan, Viscount Ishii. head of the Japanese mission to the United States, declared in an address here tonight at the National Press Club. The Zimmermann note to Mexico In volving Japan gave a clew to the se cret agencies at work to part the East and the West, the Viscount said, but even the noise of this diplomatic "blun der" by Berlin gave a check only for a time. "Since then the agents have been hard at work." the Viscount continued. "They were at work yesterday and they are at work today. Every prejudice, every sympathy, every available argu ment has been appealed to and used to show to your people and to ours what at low, cunning enemy we have each in the other and how much dependent we are upon the future support and good will of Germany." Fraud at Work In All Lands Viscount Ishii said that in all coun tries today fraud, deception, treachery jnd all the forces of evil are wearing Asguises difficult to penetrate and that ha regretted deeply to say that owing to this difficulty the newspapers in both America and Japan, inadvertently, he believed, had delayed the' "inevitable understanding" between the two na tions. "I am quite confident that some day, and 1 sincerely trust the day is not far distant, when the eyes of all men who honestly Endeavor to present the truth will be opened and that the truth about Japan and about America will be re vealed to all the world," the Viscount continued. "When that day comes you and all men will know how clearly the work of deception has been carried on and how long we have listened to lies about the ambitions and the ideals of the East and the West. Propaganda Laiti 10 Tears. "For more than 10 years a propa ganda has been carried on in this coun try, in Japan and, in fact, throughout the world, for the one and sole pur pose of keeping nations of the Far East and Far West as far apart as possible, to create distrust, suspicion and un kindly feeling, all in order that Ger many might secure advantage in the confusion. "The world was Hooded with tales of Japan's military aspirations, and Japan's duplicity. Have these been borne out by history? Even now the licrman publicity agent whispers first in your ear and then in mine. To the accompaniment of appeals to the hu man heart, he tells to me stories of your duplicity and to you of mine. "These agents have been supplied with unlimited resources. No wonder we have been deceived. A short time ago a bad blunder gave us a clew. The Zimmermann note to Mexico involving Japan, was a blunder. It made such a noise that we were disturbed in our clumbers and so were you. ' "This gave a check for a time, .but since then the agents have been hard at work. They were at work yesterday and they were at work today. Every prejudice, every sympathy, ever avail able argument has been appealed to and used to show to your people and to ours what a low. cunning enemy we have each in the other, and how much dependent we are upon the future friendship, support and good will of Germany. Japan Helps Universal Peace. "Let me tell you a piece of secret history: When it became known to us that the American and British govern ments were alike desirous of enter ing into a general treaty of arbitration, but that they found the making of such a treaty was precluded by the terms of the British alliance with Japan, as they' then stood, it was not with the consent of Japan, but it was because of Japan's spontaneous offer, that the stipulations of the alliance were re vised so that no obstacles might be put in the way of the proposed treaty. As you know, article four, of the new Anglo-Japanese treaty now in effect, excludes the United States from its operation. This is a true account of the genesis of that clause. It was Japan's own Idea her own contribution to the cause of universal peace. "Now, if Japan had the remotest in dention of appealing to arms against America how could she thus voluntarily have renounced the all-important co operation of Great Britain? It would have been wildly Quixotic. "There is, one may surely be safe in eayir.g, only one way to interpret this attitude of Japan. It is a most signal proof if, indeed, any proof is needed that to the Japanese government and nation anything like armed conflict nun America in simply unthinkable."

Metaorolosurt, STRIKERS TO MEET Shipbuilders Plan to Resume Construction Monday. FEDERAL ACTION AWAITED If Word Is Not Received Today In dicating Attitude of Shipping Board, Xo Washington Inter vention W ill Be Expected. "VVooden shipyard workers on strike and their fellow workers in the steel shipbuilding plants will assemble at the Auditorium cunday night at a mass meeting. In addition to a complete res ume of the strike and its developments beinsr given, it is expected there will be additional information from labor representatives at Washington as to the probable action of the Government. A meeting held yesterday at the Labor Temple resulted in a special com mittee being named to arrange for the mass meeting and later the press com mittee of the Metal Trades Council is sued the following notice: "There will be a mass meeting of all metal trades "unions in the Auditorium Sunday at 8 P. M., fo-r the purpose of getting a full report ct the strike situ ation before the membership, and to hear reports from our representatives In Washington, which will be at hand by that time. Only union men will be admitted to the meeting." Representatives of the men on strike said there were no changes in the situ ation during the day from their s'and point: that they had not heard offici ally from delegates at Washington rep resenting Pacific Coast organizations, neither had they been In communica tion with the employers. Shipyard proprietors agreed not to resume operations on a. large scale be fore Monday, fully expecting that there would be early advicts from Washing ton as to the attitude of the Shipping Hoard in the controversy. At the same time the Standifer-Clarkson yard, at Vancouver, is erecting frames on ships and the same is being done at the Grant Smlth-Guthrte-McDougall yard, at St. Johjis. while the Coast Shipbuild ing Company and Columbia Engineer ing Works have kept going as before the strike. It is the general plan to blow the whistles on time Monday morning. Builders say they would prefer to go ahead with their old gangs intact, but should there not be a settlement reached by then they intend to give other men opportunity to turn to. They say inquiries have reached them in per son by mail and telephone from work men and each yard management is con fident they can muster a skeleton crew for the first day. G. Y. Harry, representing the Gov ernment as mediator, is yet without ad vices from Washington as to what is intended by the Shipping Board or De partment of Labor regarding the strike. All interests rather look for word today and if not it Is reasoned there will not be any official communication in ad vance of the usual hour of commencing work Monday. SHIPYARD JIEN COMIXG BACK Standlfer Plant Now Operating With Xearly Full Crew. VANCOUVER, Wash. Sept. 21. (Spe cial.) The shipyards of the G. M. Stan di fer Construction Corporation were In operation today, with 85 per cent of a full crew. The men have been coming back to work gradually, and today many said they would return to work Monday morning at 8 o'clock, rain or shine. Some men. not heretofore employed by the company and who have never been strikebreakers, have said they would be tempted to assist in break ing this one. They think the Govern ment now needs ships above every thing else, and that the men working on them should not quit for trivial reasons. In fact, it is held that the men here have no grievance, as the company is paying high wages and they work but eight hours a day and quit at noon Saturdays. 4 BEAVER DISPATCHED SOUTH Liner Is Detained 1 7 Hours to Have New Equipment Passed. It was close to S o'clock yesterday morning: when the steamer Beaver, of the San Francisco and Portland line, trot away from Ainsworth dock for California harbors. 17 hours behind schedule, which was due to petting- ad ditional life-saving equipment aboard.

SEAS TAG CHIEF ENGINEER Two Board Chinook and Vent Ire on Man Who Heads "Black Gang." Chief Engineer Sloe urn. of the Fed eral dredge Chinook, who was in the city yesterday on a hurried trip from the mouth of the Columbia, opines that the reference often made to capricious seas is not idle, for on two occasions he has been chased by them since the season opened. The last time was the day before he left the ship. He was standing by the rail and saw a big sea form and, about the time he realized it was coming aboard, he raced for the engine-room companionway to shut the half-door, but he was too late. The sea. not only swept In there, but splashed through the latticed door of his room and drenched his desk and bedding. Another time he saw one coming aboard and backed against the super structure and into a doorway, only to have another sea board the other side, race through the opposite doorway and swamp him.

BLAME PUT Oil COW Dairymen Say Milk Would Be Cheaper if Bossy Ate Less. ANIMALS INSIST ON FOOD 5111k Commission Advised Also That Present Ordinance Relating to Dairies, Is Obsolete and Re vision Is Probable. Tou can't fool a cow; milk is selling at prices ruinous to producers and the city ordinance relating- to this impor tant subject is obsolete. Those three things were developed at a session of the city"s milk commis sion, of which H. E. Reed is chairman, at the Courthouse last night. Several dairymen testified, all . of them declaring in unequivocal language that a cow is one animal that can't be fooled; she's got to be fed all she wants or she won't give milk, and he or she who attempts to deceive bossy will be the one to be stung by any attempt at cutting the high cost o production by the circuitous route of underfeeding. Plenty of Feed Necessary. Mrs. A. Furth, who conducts a little dairy, does nearly all of the work her self and even distributes the bottles to the consumers in person, declared emphatically that she feeds the cows all they can eat the year around, "for they wiil not give milk if you don't." Mrs. Furth's story was pathetic in that she declared she and her aged husband, who is in ill health, have their all J1500 invested in their little dairy; have worked very hard virtual ly day and night for several yers and have thus far this year run behind $189. She begged the members of the commission to help the dairymen or they face ruin. G. F. Wardin, who has 119 cows, said that the present prices for dairying are so high that 15 cents a quart is the least that dairymen can operate on and live. At present, he is charging 12 cents, but it is only because he laid in a big feed supply on lower rates. M. Kehrli, former owner of the Wardin herd, now operating a small dairy at Hillsdale and selling at whole sale, assured the members of the com mission that only by feeding a cow all she wants can you get results in milk. Solution ot Found. All efforts of the commission to get around the feed question failed, as it seemed the unanimous verdict of prac tical men and women that only when there is plenty of pasture can the cheaper feed problem be solved; not more than four months of pasturage a year can be depended upon, it was shown. E. C. Calloway, chemist in the milk division of the City Bureau of Health, called to the stand by Mr. Brewster, de clared that the present ordinance is ob solete in many particulars. Especially is this so as to pasteurization, sampling of bottles and the prohibiting of sale of milk after more than 24 hours on stands. Undoubtedly, the Commission will revise the law, or so recommend. Another meeting will be held next Wednesday nieht. LIBRARY MEETING CALLED Gathering at Shattuck School Is Planned for Tonight. Persons living: couth of Jefferson street who are interested in. the work of the war library council are invited to a meeting; of the council at the Shattuck School tonight. B. F.
