SAYS JAPAN INTENDED TO SUPPORT GERMANY Washington, March 20.—In an ad- dress published in the final edition of the record of the last congress, Repre- sentative Alvan T. Fuller, of Massa- chusetts, describes an interview with M. Delanney, French ambassador to Japan and attributes to_the ambassa- dor the statement that Japan was not incerely pro-ally but intended 'to s port Germany until a Japanese mis- sion learned how wholeheartedly Amerita was going into the war. Mr. Fuller's remarks, printed under the privilege accorded members to in- sert in the record speeches not actually delivered on the floor, concerned pri- marily abuses of the franking pri lege. Turning from that subject he told at length of a visit to Europe | shortly after the armistice was signed. | “My trip across the water was un- eventful” he wrote, found among my fellow passengers a most delightful person, who was no other than M. De- lanney, the French ambassador to Ja- pan. 1 took occasion to ask the am-| bassador if, as a resuit of his observa- | tion, the Japanese were sincerely pro- | lly. To this inquiry the ambs plied very definitely, inquired ‘Who in the they were sincerely pro-ally?' “Ambas J sa1d francMse rights shali ed and rem.n of the genarai ession, 191 The house condurred ite in the passage of provides that whenever for the appointment of a conservator all have been made; if during the pendency of such application the ap- plicant shall lodge with the town clerk of any town within which real estate |of the alleged incapable is situated, or with the town clerk of the town in which he resides or with any bank, trust company, or other depository with which he shall have a deposit, an {attested copy of such application and of the citation ther on no conveyance |of real estate in such town and no ontract m such person between he time the s0 lodged and the time of the ation of the court | upon such application, shall be valid, | nor all any withdraw: « funds \from any such bank be permitted, | without the approval of such court | The act relating to inspection of | baggage by department of health was | amended in the house to provide that 1t such ports or places or on such lines of travel as there may be danger of introduction into this of 1, yellow fever or other com- nicable dis he state depart- health shall have the pow tablish such systems of inspc as may eb practicable and needful | ertain the presence of the infec- | f cholera, vellow fever or other sable dise the persons | nts or t in wearing | saggage or freight; to ques immigrants which oath ter of h ms from which aggaze or e extend- force un.il the rising embly at its January{ with the sen- an act which | an application | 5 ador Delanney stated to me!| banese intended to support | er their commission ! and saw how wholeheart we were going into the war, the were afraid to do so.
