Japan Begins Erection of Powerful Wireless Plant Loss of Russian Island Station Sends Orientals to Home Land for Base .

WASHINGTON, March SO.—Frustrated In their persistent efforts to oust the Americans from the possession of Russian Island, the most powerful wireless station in the Orient, the Japanese have at last despaired and have undertaken the construction of a powerful station in Japan proper, according to official advices reaching Washington. Japanese naval engineers have begun the erection of a station at Oshima, in Nagasaki prefecture, some 700 miles south by east of the American station at Vladivostok. When completed it will be the “Arlington” of Japan and will be capable of communicating with all parts of the world. Back of Japan’s decision to build this new station is a record of several years of strenuous and futile effort to secure possession of the Russian Island wireless, which is now held and operated by American naval officers and some thirty-five men recruited from the Asiatic fleet. JAPANESE IRRITATED OVER PLANT’S SEIZURE. The seizure and operation of the plant by American naval forces, despite Japanese protests, has been a source of constant irritation to the Japanese occupational troops in Vladivostok. Much of the trouble between the Japanese and Americans in the Vladivostok district could be traced back to the American seizure of this wireless station, according to naval officers. The ill feeling that admittedly does exist was manifested not long since in the shooting to death of Lieut. William R. Langdon by a Japanese sentry. The fact that American naval forces

United States District Attorney Fred Van Xuys was in Rushville yesterday afternoon on business and consulted with Postmaster G. P. Hunt.

occupy and operate this powerful station Is but little known outside of official circles. Japan long has coveted it, according to American naval officers, but never had a sufficiently good opportunity to take possession. When the ill-fated Kerenskl government capitulated the situation of the small Russian garrison at the station became untenable and the Japanese were preparing to move in. The importance of the station to Japan could hardly be overestimated. It is not only the most powerful station in the Orient, but It lies only ten miles from Vladivostok proper, which Japanese troops and a few Americans then were occupying. AMERICAN'S MOVE FIRST. While the Japanese were laying plans to seize the station, the Americans moved quietly in and took possession. Whether the commander of the American forces acted on orders from Washington or on his own initiative has never been divulged. In all events the Japanese were furious, according to naval officers. The Japanese officials virtually demanded that the Americana vacate. The Americans refused and have held the station ever since, In the face of persistent efforts to oust them. The Russian Island really belongs to Russia, and It Is expected by American naval officers that it will be returned to Russia “as soon as we find out who Russia Is,” as described by one naval officer. The Russian Island controversy Is understood to account In no small measure for the stiff-necked attitude of Japan over the Island of Yap and the Pacific cables.

Village of St. Paul to Be Incorporated Special to The Times. SHELBVVILLE, Ind., March SO.—Advocates of tha proposed incorporation of St. Paul were successful in the special I election Monday, winning their point by ! a margin of twenty-eight vote*, it was announced today. Arrangements now are ! under way for the adoption of the town | government system and another election will be held in sixty days to select officers. A total of 397 votes were cast in the election, eleven being discarded for various reasons. There were 207 ballots in favor of the incorporation and 179 opposed. The incorporation of St Paul, which is situated on the Shedby-Decatur county line, was suggested several mouths ago when a number of the citizens attempted to obtain improvements which could not be made until the town was incorporated. Much opposition was met from many of the townspeople, who believed the move unnecessary and a needless expense. Exactly the required number of signers wag placed on a petition to the I Decatur County commissioners for a special election, which was granted.

JAP STATESMAN VIEWS CALMLY U. S. RELATIONS Government Envoy Sees Amicable Adjustment of All Problems. YAP ‘KNOT’ TO BE UNTIED Copyright, 1921, by International News Service. WASHINGTON, March 30.—“ The question of the Island of Yap Is most delicate, but there is every reason to believe diplomacy will find a satisfactory solution of the problem,” according to Baron Megata, member of the Japanese House of Lords and Japanese delegate to the League of Nations, who is passing through Washington on his way back to Japan from the recent meeting of the league at Geneva. The baron, who asa young man attended a seminary at West Newton, Masswill leave today for San Francisco, where he will remain for a few days before sailing for Toklo. Being technically still on a mission j which includes the question of mandates ; over the islands of the Pacific, the baron declined to enter into a detailed discussion of the Yap situation, although he expressed the belief that the controversy over the disposition of the former German cables would be cleared up satisfactorily in the communications conference now In session here. Japan’s position with regard to the Island of Y’ap, he intimated, Is that the Island was awarded to her under agreements approved by powers which presumably had authority to make such awards, and until that decision Is changed, Japan eannot do otherwise than claim the territory awarded her. TO MAKE STUDY IN’ CALIFORNIA. “I am somewhat out of touch with the situation In California,” said Baron Megata, “and I wish to spend a few days on the coast in order to get first-hand Information of conditions there.” While the baron does not attempt to deny that many serious matters remain Lo be adjusted between Japan and the !United States, he Is convinced there Is no questtou so serious as to menace the good relations of the two countries. He bel’jves the two nations are well on the way toward a satisfactory settlement of both the Immigration question and the i question of land tenure. ! “I have not seen the official report of the conversations conducted between Ambassador Morris and Baron Shidehara,” he said, “but I am confident that those interchanges have greatly clarified the situation.” Baron Megata said he understood the negotiations thus far have been entirely satisfactory to the Toklo government. “It Is perfectly natural,” he said, “that | Japanese who have lived In California j for a long time, and by their Industry i and Intelligence cultivated and Improved | the land, shonld feel some concern at sugj gestlon that they are to be deprived perI manently of the privileges they hare eu- | joyed. I am sure, however, that the | Japanese, both here and In Japan, are viewing the situation calmly and will cheerfully abide by any decision which the two nations may reach.” The baron is Inclined to be skeptical of suggestions that universal abolition of armaments is a possibility of tha immediate future. JAPAN’S PROBLEM IS ISOLATED. "The situation In Japan Is unlike that in any of the other great nations of the world” he continued. “Japan’s problem is complicated by unusual conditions as regards both skilled labor and materials. The time ordinarily required for building a battleship Is approximately three years, hut in Japan It is much longer. I have been away from Japan for live months and I hesitate to speak the minds of leaders there, but personally 1 am inclined, because of these unusual conditions, to doubt whether Japan would join in a so-called naval holiday. “Much has been said about Japan's naval plans,’’ he raid. “I am In a position definitely to assert that there has been no unusual augmentation of the Japanese naval strength and that none is contemplated.” “The program now being carried out was determined upon more than five years ago. It contemplates the construction of the minimum number of warships necessary for the protection of Japan. It contains no suggestion of a threat and is entirely foreign to any Idea of aggression.” "SHANTUNG POLICY IS I NI HANGED.” Asked about Shantung, the Baron said: “Japan formally made the statement nearly two years ago that Shantung would he returned to China Just ss soon as conditions warranted. There has been no change in that policy. Whenever a stable government replaces the factional governments now functioning In China the Japunesv will withdraw.” With hegard to Saghalien, the situation is quite similar, the baron said. Disordered conditions prevail in Russia and SibeHa, making it the part of wisdom for Japan to keep an eye upon conditions in territory so close to her own dominions. “As soon ns there is an effective na-
