JAPANESE HAVE BUSY DAY Mikado's Commissioners Conclude Their Omaha Visit. HEAR BRYAN AND HALLER SPEAK Former Extols Nations, Peace Between th Latter Business Rela- tions—Women Share in Pleasure of Men. (Continued from First Page.) that the party felt highly honored by being welcomed by the governor of the state, the mayor of the city and the dis- tinguished men of Omaha Mappy and Tireless, Despite their whirlwind dash of nearly 10,000 miles over the country, which began September 1 at Seattle, and has included nearly every eity of'importance in the United States, the commissioners presented a contented, tireless front They admit that the long trip has fatigued them, but they are not tired of thelr warm welcome or sight-peeing. Despite the érilly rain and the prospects that thelr visit in Omaha will be unpleasant in some ways, all were cheerful. 1In the faces of the Japanese— faces that Americans generally regard as serious—thers were beaming - smiles for their hosts. Even ““The Sphynx" smiled. “The Sphynx” is a familiar way some newspaper men have of referring to Heibel Sakaguchl, & wealthy silk merchant of Osaka. Mr. Sakaguchl never speaks more than a monosylable at a timeé—and the times are few. The Japanese men in the party Insisted that the program made out for them by their Omaha friends be not modified on their account. They referred to the down- pour as a welcome shower bath and sald they were not afrald of the chilly weather or the water. Motor Cars for Japan. The McKeen motor car will be introduced to Japan as a result of a visit of the members of the honorary commercial com- mission to the big shops where the cars are made. Kalchiro Nedzu, the head of a large number of rallway and commeroial projects about Tokio, announced at the end of his vielt about the shops that he was highly impressed with the cars and would take steps toward their adoption on Japanese rallways. “The trip over to the shops In the motor cars and the demonstration of their operation afforded here has convinced me that they will be of use to us,” said Nedzu through his interpreter. “Immedlately on my return to Tokio I ehall dispateh one of my engineers to Omaha to make a further study and in- vestigation. I want to try out the motor on both surface and subway lines. Great Interest in Wireless. The Japanese visitors evinced great Inter- est In the wireless power control demon- stration by Dr. Frederick H. Millener at the Union Pacific shops. Bareheaded and busy the electrician dashed about in the rain making the adjustments on the eleo- trie truck, which was put in motion before the interested gathering by an impulse from the Unlon Pacific's wireless plant. This is the first demonstration of the use of the wireless that the visitors have seen since thelr arrival in this country. They were much mystified by its workings and asked for detalied explanations. Baron Shibuwa; perhaps the most prominent man in the party, was particu- larly absorbed In the demonstration. “Come on, we are to start to Florence,” urged an interpreter as the baron stood looking over the wonderful apparatus. “I shall not go untll I have an oppor- tunity to shake hands with the engineer,” he replied, pointing to Dr. Millener. The start to Florence was delayed while Baron Shibuwasa paid his respects to the elcotrical expert, “You'll have to hurry,” shouted Dr. Mil- lener, so absorbed In his device that he hardly saw the distinguished man 'who would pay him a compliment. Marvelous, Marvelous, He Says. The baron bared his head despite the rain and shook hands with Dr. Milliner. “Marvelous, marvelous,” he sald Japanese. In the McKeen motor car and the Union Paciflc shops the visitors found much that attracted thelr attentlon. The dark, little men swarmed about the buszsing, noisy machines inquiring into every part. It was a happy day for K. K. Tsujigaki, a Japanese employe of the Union Pacific shops. This young man, & college graduate, 18 In the shops to learn all that he may. in They are saying that some day he will g) TRIED REMEDY FOR THE GRIP.

Members of the Commercial club as- sisted Commissioner Guild In showing the visitors about and the few English speak Ing Japanese were much in service repeat- ing to thelr assoclates what their guides were telling them. Baron Kanda, a prominent. Japanese | educator, saw the motor cars through the eyes of a literary man and was evidently much amused. | “They seem very much to me like a torpedo,” he remarked. 1 had been wonder- ing why they were so rounded off on the corners and pointed in front, but they tell me that these little cars can travel at very high speed. They ought to; they're | built like & projectile.” Part of the commission decided to take @ rainy day nap and remained on the spe- cial train at the Burlington station. This train was switched to the Union station at noon. Some of the Women Il1. Tilness and fatigue from continuous sight- seeing entirely changed the schedule tiut was planned for the entertainment of the | women of the Japanese commission and | incidentally disappointed not & few Omaha women who had been anticipating thelr visit for a fortnight or more. A committee Including Mrs. A. C. Shal- lenberger, Mrs. Gould Dietz, Mrs. G. W. Wattles, Mrs. Luther Kountze, Mrs. J. R. Scoble and Mra. William J. Bryan went to the train expecting to take the visiting women to the oung Women's Christian association, Clarkson hospital and the Lininger Art gallery, but several of the distingulshed guests were fll and the others too weary from continuous attention to | make the proposed trip. They did attend the breakfast at the home of Mrs. C. N. | Diets at 11:30, as planned, and later were entertained at the home of Mrs. Luther | KouRntge for dinner, but were obliged to | forego the musical and reception at the | home of Mrs. George A.

It was entirely American in every detall; In ‘fact, it had been the Intention of the local hostesses to give their forelgn guests & gltmpse Into the American home and American home life. Besides the visiting women, Mrs. Dietz's guests Included: Mrs. A. C. Shallenberger and Mrs, W. J. Bryan of Lircoln, Mrs. C. F. Manderson, Mrs. G. W. Wattles, Mrs. | Luther Kountze, Mrs. Gould Diets, Mrs. Leonora Dietz Nelson, Miss Mae Hamliton and Mrs. C. N. Dietz, five of whom have visited Japan, including Mrs. Bryan, Mrs. Wattles, Mrs. Kountze, Miss Hamilton and Mre. C. N, Diets. Following Mrs. Dietz's breakfast the vis- Iting women were taken to the residence of Miss Jessie Millard for an informal re- ception, Miss Millard being assisted by Mrs. B. A, Cudahy, Mrs. C. F. Manderson, Thomas Kilpatrick, Mrs. Clement Chase, Mrs. J. B. Baum, Mrs. Philip Dodge, Mrs. Bertha Offutt, Mrs. Harold Gitford, Mrs. Herbert Rogers, Misses Carrie and Helen Millard, Mrs. W. B.

Bryan told the Japanese of one of thelr countrymen who lived in his own home for several years. Mr. Bryan sald; Mr. tor: “It glves me great pleasure to participate in this occasion. My gratitude to the people of Japan for the hospitality they extended to my family and myself when we visited that country four years ago, would in itsself be sufficient to bring me to this reception. And in addition to that, 1 entertaln such sincere friendship for Japan and (ts people that I welcome this opportunity to bear testimony to that triendship. 1 had an opportunity to be- come Intimately acquainted with a Jap- anese student a few years ago. He came to our home upon his own initiative and re- mained with us for more than five years. He was 50 exemplary in his behavior 5o anxious Yo learn, so persistent In his studles and {had such a laudable ambition to make himself useful to his country that he gave me a most favorable impression of {his people. His name is Yamachiro Yam- ashita—I think since his return he has done us the honor to add our name to Lis, and now calls himself, Yamachiro Bryan Yamashita. T beg you to carry our greetings to him and assure him of our continued good will. “But since our visit to Japan we are not compelled to rely upon our acquain- tance with one representative of your country, for it was our good fortune to meet a number of your people, among others the great Prince Ito, whose assassi- nation is deplored in this country and in all other lands as well as in Japan. Ho Impressed me as a man of great abliity and as a statesman who was acquainted with the politics of the world and who recognized the fact that the future of Japan s intimately interwoven with the fulure of other civilized natlons. He un- derstood that justice is the basls of in- ternational friendship, as it is the basis of friendship between Ipdividuals, and was therefore a wise advisor. Patriotism and Partisanship, “It was my good fortune to meet Count Okuma, also the leader of the opposition, and I learned from mingling With both parties that in Japan, as well as in Amer- ica, the differences that divide parties are not great, compared with the great prin- clples that unite them. I learned that in Japan, as well as in America, the spirit of patriotism is stronger than partisanship and that the members of all parties can be |relied upon to unite in the defence of national interest “One of the first socleties to entertain lus was an organization formed of men |who had attended college In the United i Chairman and Distinguished Visi- States.

Nothing But Peace in Sigh “I rejoice in the very amicable relations | that exist between the United States and Japan, and I cannot conceive of any ex- fgency that is llkely to arise to disturb them. While each nation s in duty bound to guard the rights of its own people, I am sure that neither nation will require the enactment of legislation that can give just cause of offense to the other. In fact, | 1 beifeve that the world is moving toward peace and toward the era of good will. In the first place, the tendency to substi- tute arbitration for armed confllet will make the possibility of war more remote, and I would like to see our natlon take the lead in urging the doctrine of arbitra- tion. 1 belleve that the time has come for our nation to give a pledge of peave | by offering to enter into & treaty with any and every other nation providing that every diplomatic difference shall part be- fore any declaration of war or commence- ment of hostilities. This reserves to each | nation the right to act independently after investigation, but an investigation would in almost every case bring about a settle- ment and thus prevent war. “But, more important than this, is the growing acceptance of a philosophy of life that will remove the desire for war. As no citizen can afford to wish ill to any neighbor, so no nation can afford to wish il to any other nation. As every citizen is benefited to & great or less extent by the highest development of every other eitizen, so every nation ought to see an advantage to itself in the development of other nations. We are so linked together that no one can permanently be benefited by Injury to another; so linked together that every one will find his highest good in the protection of the rights of all and in the promotion of international peace.” HALLER SEES MUCH JN VISIT Declares Trade Relations Given Big Impetus. Frank L. Haller discussed ““Our Commer- cial Relations with Japan,” and began with a graceful reference to certaln words of wisdom enunciated by a by-gone emperor of the Japanese. From this he passed on to a prediction of Increased trade between the Flowery kingdom and thié country. The speaker said: Mr. Toastmaster, Baron Shibusawa, and Our Other Honpred Guests from Japan: “This visit to our country of the Hon- orary Commercial Commissioners of Japan is evidence of an enlightened appreciation on your part that the nations of the world have entered into & new era, the era of science and industry, and it is & happy omen of the times that you, ambassadors | The world will not from the great commercial organizations of Japan, while here on & mission to make W.
