Nippon Ministers In United States On War Missions (Continued From Page One.) with cavalrymen in a long line, with sabers lifted at "present arms" and rows of infantry, also at the "pre sent," while the Japanese anthem was played. Lines of troopers rode be side the automoDiies wnicn escorted the mission to the city hall, while thousands of spectators crowded the sidewalks for a glimpse of the men coming on so momentous an errand. Anolause trreeted each member of the mission as he was presented by the mavor to the people and bowed his acknowledgement, but when Viscount Ishn made his declaration ot alliance and friendship, it rose to a roar as the crowd caught the significance of his utterance, and the viscount, who had been reading in a moderate voice from his manuscript, continued in vigorous tones. "This perhaps is neither the time nnr f Vie nlar for a detailed exposition of the plans and hopes which nave in spired our mission," he said. "It is sufficient that you see in your presence here this afternoon Japan's pledge of loyalty to the principles for which America has thrown down tne gauge of battle. "We shall proceed to Washington, carrying to your great president and to the American people a message-of fraternity, confidence and cheer. It is our ambition if that were necessary, to impress once more upon the Ameri can people the solemn fact that Japan stands with you, neart ana soui. in your lofty purpose to make this world the -abiding place of liberty, justice and fair play. "In this crisis of the world's affairs, we are proud to call ourselves the allies of the great American republic and we are honored by your trust and good will. Confidant of Success. . "I can onlv add that this splendid demonstration at the very moment of placing our feet upon your hospitable shores fills our hearts-with gratitude, and inspires every member of this commission with the conviction that the objects of our visit to America are already guaranteed." Preparations tor the reception ot the mission in charge of civic authori ties went to the minutest detail, even the streets selected for the line of march beine sanded to prevent the mischance of a horse slipping. At the city nan, major uencrai Hunter Liaeett. commanding the Western department of the army, stood with his Japanese iciiows in arms, who were m khaki, blazing with decorations, and he will have much to do with the plans for their enter, tainment whije the commission re mains in the west. These include review of troops now here, and a visit to mobilization camps on this coast. A banauet was tendered the mis sion toniRht by resident Japanese.

In the evening the kinp kindly answered that he had ordered his gov ernment to use every possible in fluence with his allies to repudiate taking any provocative military measures. At the same time His Majesty asked me, I should transmit to Vienna the British proposal that Austria was to take Belgrade and a few other Servian towns and strip of country as a main mise (sic) to make sure that the Servian promises on paper should be fulfilled in reality. This proposal was in the same mo ment telegraphed to me from Vienna for London quite in conjunction with Ae British proposal; besides, I had telegraphed to His Majesty, the Czar, the same as an idea of mine before I received the two communications from Vienna and London. As both were of the same opinion I trans mitted the telegrams vice versa to Vienna and London. I felt that I was able to tide the question over and happy at the peaceful outlook. Russian Army Mobilizes. " 'Five While I was preparing a note to His Majesty, the tzar, the next morning to inform him that Vienna, London and Berlin were agreed about the treatment of affairs, I received the telephone message from His Excellency, the Chancellor, that in the night before the czar had given the order to mobilize the whole of the Russian army, which was, of course, also meant against Germany; whereas, up till then the southern armies had been mobilized against Austria. '"Six In a telegram from London my ambassador informed me he un derstood British government would guarantee neutrality of France and wished to know whether Germany would refrain from attack. I tele graphed to His Majesty, th Kin personally, that mobilization bein already carried out, could not be stopped, but if His Majesty could guarantee with his armed forces the neutrality of France, I would refrain from attacking her, leave her alone and employ my forces elsewhere. His Majesty answered that he thought my offer was based on a misunderstand ing and as far as I can make out, Sir Edward Grey never took my offer into serious consideration. He never an swered it Instead, he declared Eng land had to defend Belgian neutrality, which had to be violated b. Germany on stategical grounds, news having been received that France was already preparing to enter Belgium and that the king of Belgians having refused my petition for a free passage under guarantee of his country's freedom, I am most grateful for the proident's message.

The prime minister was absent and his colleagues here had no knowledge whatever from Mr. Henderson of his intention to go to Paris with Mr. (James Ramsay) Mac Donald. , We discovered it first in this telegram which was circulated to us. Wc clearly expressed to Mr. Henderson our disapproval but he in timated, that it was decided upon and he must go. In those circumstances, I was not able further to interfere with him." . Mr. Henderson accepted Mr. Bonar Law's statement but said that it did not clear Mr. Bonar Law or the cab inet from the fact that they had inti mated tq the house that all the ar rangements were made without the cabinet's knowledge. The speaker added that he informed the war cab inet of his recommendations to the Labor, party executive to accept the invitation to the Stockholm confer ence if the conference were made con- sulative instead of mandatory. I here was a sharp division within the cab inet, and he offered to resign1. Continuing, Mr. Henderson said: "Returning from Paris I gave the prime minister a full apd faithful statement of my personal position and my reasons for advocating attend ance at the conference."

Here was a chance to make amends to Uncle Sam, to truly serve the flag he loved. He would go over to the battle field and there lead a glorious charge to victory and die with the flag on his breast. So he joined the National Guards, thinking they would go over soon. He gave an assumed name and was ac cepted. Everybody, from the cap tain to the privates, liked the little drummer boy. Only a few days more and he would have been off safe and serving his country- valiantly, he felt But now comes the Iago of the tale. The little drummer boy's tragedy might be written by a ictor Hugo, for Jean Val Jean's life was not more bitter.- But he puts it In boyish words thus: " ' "My best friend got sorel And he snitched on me." groaned the little drummer boy, "My friend the best friend I ever had, I thought that is what makes it harder than ever to bear. If it had been an enemy!" Farewell to the Fellows. The "snitcher" was in time. Yes terday the officers came to take the little drummer boy away. All after noon he was under guard, while his comrades passed with averted heads, to hide their grief. Before he went the guards said gruffly: "You can go in and tell them goodbye." The little drummer boy went into the barracks. A crowd of his chums sat silent there no music or whistling that night. "G-goodbye, fel " he began. The thin boyish arm shot up to cover his face and the little drummer boy was sobbing. Some of the boys broke down, too, and putting their heads down on the table, cried. The rest turned their heads while they searched hurriedly in their pockets for something. "Here, kid you'll be all right," they mumbled as they filled his pockets with all the quarters and dimes they could find. "Time's up," called the guard and the little drummer boy went out. "But is it fair," the boys of his com pany are as'.:ing passionately, today. "He was trying. He was making good!" , , , That is the thing that makes slack ers, the bpys say. Men do not fear the cannon s mouth half as much as the stern and it must be confessed not always just discipline of the army. Persistent Advertising Is the Road to Success.
