Kinney Tokyo, July 10. (By Mail.)—The arrest of Tsunanoru Oyama, a young member of one of Japan’s very high- est families, on a charge of having #0ld military maps to an American, who in turn handed them over to “a certain embassy,” as the vernacular press carefully expresses it, has caus- ed considerable consternation in offi- .cial circles as well as with the public in gemeral, although the matter is at present veiled in the mists of official secrecy. Young Oyama is a nephew of the Jate Field Marshall Prince Oyama, one of Japan’s foremost statesmen of modern times and a member of the Elder statesmen group, which is virt- ually the ultimate power in the coun- -try. The young man is also a cousin o Prince Oyama, the present head of this great family, and his prominence makes the incident especially inter- esting, as well as the fact that, while no direct charge has been made against the American embassy, the mccounts of the affair take pains to veil their allusions so thinly that no aroom is left open to doubt as to which embassy is referred to. 1t is stated that the young man was -with the 14th cavalry regiment when it seiged Habarovsk in August, 1918, as a member of a surveying detail, and that at that time he secretly took possession of about 250 maps which had been a possession of the enemy. While in Siberia he is sup- posed to have become friendly with a certain American and to have dis- posed of the maps to him, the m it- ary attache of the American embassy being, it is said, ultimate recipient of the maps. Several other young men have been arrested as Oyama’s accomplices, and the authorities are mow making ‘a thorough investigation of the affair. ‘1t is certain that considerable import- ance attaches to the matter, as is ev e = = s H g A.

On the other hand, it does mot seem quite plain why the American embassy, or any other embassy, should pay 40,000 yen which is al- leged to be the amount paid for.the maps, for data regarding Siberia, par- ticularly as the American forces have withdrawn from that' region . and should therefore take no great inter- est therein. It therefore looks as if the maps may be more important than has been given:out. The vernacular press stated a few days ago that the foreign office had been requested to take steps to secure the arrest of the military attache. TIngquiry gt the foreign office, how- ever, elicted the information that no such steps had been takenm, and it was added that as diplomatic officials are immune from’ arrest, no such ac- tion could be taken, unless the coun- try involved consented thereto. The foreign office officials were rather an- noyed that anything had been given out at all about the affair. They stated that the American charge d’- affaires had called on the foreign minister and complained about the various statements which had been made in the press, and as a conse- quence an investigation 'was made which brought out that the gendar- merie had told the story. / The press states that the author- ities are rather in a quandry owing to the fact that they have no definite information as to the exact nature of the maps, and upon their importance Friday’s Purchasers 504 Beltrami avenue. block 5 Third Ad- B.

If the maps are of actual military value, the former charge will be brought, but it is thought possible ‘that they have merely been faked by young Oyama, land that he passed off a bunch of ‘worthless data in exchange for a con- siderable sum of money.. The military attache of the Ameri- can. embassy states that nothing whatever, is known about any such transaction either by him or hy his associates. 2O - Autumn Ledves.~ The infant school is out, and a crowd of tiny children come chasing each other down the road, laughing and calling, running in the wind, their cheeks rosy, their eyesfidancing and their hair flying.

Ulrich, Health Service Director for the Nor- thern Division of the Red Crass, in response to the strong interest, which many localities are beginning to feel in the poject of establishing health centers. § - As a chief purpose of the health center, Dr. Ulrich says, is the preven- tion of disease thru the education of the people of the community in health facts, a single room may serve the purpose, where literature may be distributed, a “loan” closet may be maintained, classes in Home Nurs- {ing and First Aid may be held, mo- thers may meet the county nurse and obtain- information’ regarding the!s health conditiods in their families, land children may be weighed and measured. from medical help, however, a health program shoulfl include space for a nurse’s .quarters, for a supply room, for a clinic office, and perhaps for one or more hospital rooms for occa- sional emergency and confinement cases. The health center building, is represented in the plan, makes pro- vision for these rooms, kitchen and an operating-room in ad- dition. The “teacherage” is in.end- ed for communities where a residence ¢~~ tha teacher must be provided, and In communities remote and for al it is shown as simply a large cottage. with the teacher’s living-rooms, an office for the nurse. and room for the patient, for operations, for d ‘“‘loan” “loset. In the plan of the consolidat- ed school building, the health clinic ~0om is of main importance, and it is provided with a separate entrance." so that its activigies need not in anyl way interfere with the school work. The idea of allowing 'room for the health center unit in the school bnilding is especially good, Dr. Ul- rich says, as the marents are already accustomed to looking upon it, in many cases, as the center of the com- munity. . These plans, which were designed by Forsell & Lindell, architects of Minneapolis, may be obtained from the Northern division at a small cost, either separately or as a set.
