Special interest was attached tit
the words of Premier Teraehi thai
Japan and tho Putted States wore on
the eve of joining their resources in
chastening tho common obdurate foe.
It is understood that Japan will fur
nish what material is possible to the
Pniled States, including ships.
Count Terauchi emphasized what
ho termed 'Mho conspicuous fact in
history that Japan owes the greatest
debt of gratitude to the I'uited States
in formulating tier national policy of
energetic, program and international
intercourse." Ho milled:
"Tho wonderful progress in means
of communication has so narrowed
tho distance of the great Pacific
ocean thai we are like closest neigh
bors on either side of a little liver.
Moreover by the participation of tho
I'nilod States in tho present world
war out ties have boon strengthened
by a community of interest. At such

to London
Professor Dolmer, in his article,
expresses astonishment at the abund
ance of food tavicabs and horses In
London, as compared with those In
Berlin. He ridicules the grumblers
he has met hero, who have complain
ed of the shortage and costliness of
food.
"They have no Idea," says Pelmer,
"how ridiculous such grievances
sound to any one coming from a land
on the verge of hunger, if not actual
starvation. The consumption of food
in Germany Is now reduced to a point
below which it cannot go without dis
aster to public health.'
Neertheless, the writer adds, the
people in Germany manage to get
along and. nltuought they grumble a
great deal, they do not dream of giv
ing in or slackening their efforts. He
says it would he utterly misleading to
think that any Herman collapse is in
sight.
