"Japan has not been nppYoachcd

Jt 1 learned from other nources
fcero that Franco and probably Russia
arc favorable to the project of send
ing Japanese troops to Kuropc, but
that England hesitates to ask for
Japan's help. Tlio financial phase of
the matter, it is (dated, could Iks ar
ranged but the economic and po-
litleal questions involved are diffi

Meantime frequent meetings are
oalltKi in Toklo by partisans of the
project to awaken public enthusiasm

ThoJPago, wlthKs largo seating ca

crowd on hand for tho first show last
evening. Tho program proved roost
popular and consisted of seven reels
a Blograph one-part comedy, n
three-part mystery drama, "For tho
Mastery of the World." This picture
was especially good and held the
large audience's attention until fin
ished. The special featuro ot the
program was tho second episode of
the "Master Key." This picture was
certainly a wonder. This great ser
ial with .Robot. Leonard and Klla

which had nueh nn unusual run a

WASHINGTON, Dec. 01. General
Luclo Blanco, who remained in mili
tary command of Mexico City for
some time after the withdrawal ot tlio
Carfanxa forces, and pending the ar
rival of tho Villa and Zapata forces,
has been Imprisoned by Villa, accord
inf to a dispatch today to tho Car
ranza agency, hero from Vera Cru.
The messago dated yesterday says:
"Advices from Mexico City received
by tho war department from secret
scrvico men say General Luclo Blan
co has been mado prisoner by Villa
and that Dlanco's staff officers have
been scattered among Villa regiments
against their will. The state of Vera
Cruz today became denuded of rebel
Villlstas and Zapatistas when General
Sauvlrran, operating under command
of Villa, with COO soldiers, surrend
ered his force and himself to General
Obregon in Jaltlpan and offered his1
aword to the first chief.
PARIS, Dec. 31. "Tho Servians
will not march on Sarajevo, " said
Dr. M. It. Vesnltch, the Servian min
ister to France,' according to a state
ment "by him published hero today.
"They will penetrate to Syrfnla, the
easternmost country of Slavonln,
Hungary by way of Semlln or Banat,
a region of Southern Hungary, by
way of Panosova.
"Tho invasion of Bosnia and Herze
govina populated by Slavs and which
arc destined to becomo Servian,
would leave tho Hungarians indiffer
ent. An Invasion ot Hungary, how
ever, especially if made by way of
the region north ot tho Danube
would greatly Increase the apprehen
sion now reigning In that country.
The Servian troops nre now amply
provided with ammunition and Blip-piles."
