The American-Japanese society gave a din ner tonight in honor of the special fi nancial commission -which is to visit the United States. The speakers In clude'! Baron Tanetaro Megata. head of the mission, and Viscount Motono, the Foreign Minister. Viscount Kantaro Ivaneko. Privy Counsellor, presided. Ail the speakers dwelt upon the de-t-irabilitj- of co-operation between Japan and America along various lines. Baron Mesata emphasized- that Japan had done her part in the war with sincerity and determination, had' succeeded in maintaining peaceful conditions on the I'arific and had contributed no less im portantly in a financial way in support of the war. She should continue, he declared, to equip herself and her allies for war work, so as to enable them to perform the duties demanded of them in the prolonged struggle. Hay Doctrine Upheld. Therefore, he pointed out, it necessary to study financial and nomic measures for co-operation was eco- with the allies, especially the United States. The -financial mission,- he was sure, would by its efforts help to bring about closer financial and commercial rela tions between America and Japan. Count Kaneko, in his remarks as pre siding officer, declared that only the joint efforts of America and Japan could exploit and develop the resources of China. . in this connection, he said Japan always would uphold the John J lay doctrine of equal opportunity and tli open door. Viscount Motono said he regarded hopefully the sending to America at this juncture of such a financial mis sion as that headed by Baron Megata, closely identified with the financial life of modern Japanese. He was not given to counting chickens before they were hatched, he remarked, but In the pres ent instance he was sanguine regarding the results the mission would achieve. iKhH'a Welcome Cited. Recently, the Foreign Minister con tinued, a clearer conception of Japan's siims and ideals had been replacing American misgivings. lie was sure that this presaged a complete under standing between the two nations and cited, as a signal evidence that such .in understanding now existed, the hearty, spontaneous welcome given the Japanese mission headed by Viscount Ishii, now iu the United States. Baron Megata'a mission, the foreign Minister hoped, would follow up the good results accomplished by Viscount l.-hii's mission; . especially direction of providing a sound basis for the co relation of financial and economic ac tivities. This was particularly, needed in China, Viscount Motono declared. He hoped the mission would present to the American people frankly Japan's aims regarding China, born of the logic of necessity, and pave the. way to suc cessful co-operation there.

UNDERFED LABOR WEAKENS Workingmen Confer With Von Hln- deiibttrg on Speeding Up of Production Minor Elec toral Reforms Promised. COPENHAGEN, Oct. 1. (Delayed.) Leaders of various groups of German labor were received at main army headquarters this week, not for the purpose of congratulating Field Mar shall von Hir.denburg on Ills birthday. as first was intimated, but in an effort to have German workmen speed up the production of munitions. ' Tho leaders submitted to General von Ludendorff, the chief Quartermaster-General, complaints' of the laboring classes. These dealt particularly with the operation of the compulsory labor service law. A lengthy conference was devoted to discussing the possible improvement of the conditions of labor and the main tenance of. the output "f munitions which General von Ludendorff declared was the cardinal duty of the hour. . Recently private but trustworthy re ports have been- received by the Asso ciated Press that the German authori ties were experiencing difficulty In preventing a -f ailing off in the produc tion of munitions, owing to the lower ing of the working capacity of the individual underfed workmen and the scarcity of certain raw materials, notably the, more rare metals used in the manufacture of high-grade steels. It is doubtful also : if Germany will be able to keep pace with further In creases in Anglo-American production if. indeed, it is now even holding its own.

Successful Defense la Made Against Airplane Port Reached Under Own Tower io Spite of Damage, WASHINGTON. Oct. 4. Details of the Italian cruiser Aquila'a fighting In the Adriatic with Austrian airplane, destroyers and cruisers, reaching here today from Rome add to yesterday's cable account a thrilling story of how the gallant Italian ship, while fighting a fire in her own hold, drove off two destroyers, was bombed by the hydro airplanes and single-handed engaged three Austrian cruisers until help came up, and then safely got to port under her own steam. The Italian naval commanders hav ing learned that a number of Austrian ships were moving along the eastern shore of the Adriatic ordered a squad ron of Italian destroyers to attack them. The squadron was preceded by the light cruiser Aqulla. The vessel sighted two Austrian destroyers headed towards Cattaro. the Austrian naval base. The Aquila put on full speed tind attacked the destroyers, seriously dam aging both of them. Just as it ap peared that the Austrian vessels would be obliged to succumb, a fire broke out on board the Aqulla which com pelled the vessel to suspend the en gagement while efforts were being made to subdue the flames. In the meantime the two Austrian destroyers succeeded In escaping, find ing refuge in the port of Durazzo and a large number of Austrian hydro-airplanes were seen advancing. They soon surrounded the Aqulla and began to drop bombs on her. causing some damage and killing some of the crew. The crew had succeeded In ex tinguishing a fire aboard the Aquila and attacked the aircraft vigorously, forcing them to withdraw. The hydro airplanes, however, disappeared, only to give place to three big Austrian cruisers, the Ayda, Navara and Asparn. Without hesitation, the commander of the Aqulla engaged all three ship?, meanwhile by wireless calling to his assistance some Italian destroyers cruising in the direction of Durazzo. Very soon the destroyers came up sup. ported by some Kngnsh craft of the same type, and the three Austrian cruisers withdrew precipitately, one of them, the Navara. severely damaged.

SPIRIT OF 76 FOR HOMES Chlcagoan Would Mobilize as "War Aides Those IVlio Stay Behind. CHICAGO, Sept. 27. "The "back home' sentiment must be mobilized," Harold 1. lckes, chairman of the neighborhood committee of the State Council of Defense, said in explaining the call by the committee for volun teers to organize patriotic community clubs or to speak before such associa tions. "Russia's soldiers fight with vigor proportioned to the varying public sentiment of their home communities," said Mr. Ickes. "The soldiers from any given neighborhood will reflect the attitude of the localities from which they come. If American soldiers are to be animated by the spirit of '76, that spirit will have to be manifested by those who stay behind. "This gives something for every one to do. No one need experience Mr. Britllng's baffled desire for service. If a person can't enlist or drive a motor truck or roll bandages he can organize a patriotic neighborhood club. When that club has been assembled it can plan a public meeting. The school, the church, the lodge hall and in small towns the courthouse, are good assem bly places. "The State Council of Defense will send patriotic speakers to such organ izations. It is securing speakers of tried ability. For Instance, It is en deavoring to get those associated with the lecture bureau of The Dally News." Associations already organized may avail themselves of these speakers. Farmers' instlutes have already asked for addresses front the men who will be sent ottt through the neighborhood committee. In addition to the speak ers already being arranged for. the committee calls for volunteer speak ers. Teachers are asked to give informal patriotic talks in, their classrooms or to assemble the children In the school auditorium for a talk to be delivered by a lecturer from the state council. Special stress Is laid on the value that teachers may be to the movement Their attitude will affect children of all nationalities and the children will carry back the spirit of patriotism or Indifference, as the case may be, into their homes.
