JAP TO WAR ZONE. Will Also Come Here to Investigate Naval Affairs. Tokio, 24—Rear Admiral S. Akiyama, director of the military af- fairs bureau at the navy department, *has been ordered to proceed to Eu- rope on the mission of inspecting the naval conditions of the belligerent dountries. Afterward he will visit the United States. He will start on his mission March 20 by way of Siberia, accompanied by Commander K. Yamanashi. ¢ This is the first Japanese naval mission to inspect the situation in the theater of war. Talking of his as- signment, Rear Admiral Akivama said: “The object lies in the ins tion of military and technical in the belligerent zone. My trip will cover about seven months. I shall first go to Russia and then visit Eng- land, France and Italy through Swe- gen. Thence T intend to go to (le Balkans and also visit Egypt. Later T shall cross over to the United States and study naval affairs there befors returning home. As to the activities of the German navy I expect to make a study of it from Sweden.” Rear Admiral Akiyama is known as one of the ablest officers of the Jap- anese navy. His fame was established in the Rosso-Japanese war when he “was chief of staff of the combined squadrons under Admiral Togo. Com- mander Yamanashi who accompan- fes Admiral Akivama on the tour Is also an able and promising officer. He rendered service in successfully conducting the joint operations of the Japanese and British fleets ar “Psing-tau, being chief of staff of Admiral Kato.

STAND ON THE - SUBMARINE ISSUE Gicular May Be Adressed {0 A Foreign Powers Washington, March 24—The United States soon will make for the infor- mation of the nations of the world a complete statement of its position in regard to the conduct of subma- rine warfare and the arming of mer- chant ships for defensive purposes. It has not been.definitely determin- ed just what form the announce- ment will take, but it is considered not unlikely that a circular mem- crandum may be addressed to the powers. Whatever the form of the declaration, prepared after careful consideration to all the claims by both sets of Iuropean belli ents, it will serve to guide the course of this government in future nego- tiations, The United States will stand unalterably upon the principles al- ready laid down. Comiing from the most powerful of the neutral nations, at a time when all the other great world powers are at war, the pronouncement may fur- nish the ground work for a new in- ternational law to be developed af- ter the war which will provide for the use of submarines in naval war- fare. Lansing Studying Problems. Sec y Lansing returned to Washirigton yesterday after spend- ing a fortnight at Pinehurst, N. C,, During his absence from the capital he has had under consideration a great volume of data regarding sub- marines and armed ships. He gave careful study to the intricate prob- lems involved and nearly all his working hours are understood to have been devoted to the subject in an effort to reach conclysions just and fair to all concerned and which no nation successfully could chal- lenge. Only a few minor points, 1t is understood, now remain to, be de- termined upon. The conctlusions reached by the secretary will be carefully discussed by him with President Wilgon before they are put into the form in which they will reach foreign governments. 1t is considered improbable in offi- cial and diplomatic circles that the announcement will be made before the political situation in Germany resulting from the retirement of Ad- miral Von Tirpitz has been clarified. It is not believed the administration would be willing to issue a statement defining its position at a time when such an action might be used in a political way by factions in a nation with which it is negotiating. That a definition of defensive armament will occupy a prominent position in the declaration, whatever its form, is virtually certain. To Limit Defensive Armament Limitations of defensive armament may be described, and these will govern merchant ships which enter GREAT FOR ECZEMA | AND OLD SORES My Ointment, Peterson. “If you are responsible for the health of ur family,” says Peter- son. “I want you get a large 23c | box of Peterson's Ointment today. “Remember, 1 stand back of every box.
