U.S. AND JAPAN
' EXCHANGE NOTES
Two Governments Seek to
t Reach Some ' Tentative
v Agreement Before Parley
By Leaned Wire to The Houston Port.
WASHINGTON July 15. The Wash-
ington administration is seeking to con-
vince Japan that she will not be placed at
any disadvantage in tha forthcoming con-
ference on limitation' of armaments and
Par Eastern problems. '
President Harding believes that Japan
- will eventually decide to participate in
both branches of the proposed conference
and will agree to discuss Pacific and
Kastern questions with the other powers
invited aa well as the issue of reducing
armaments.
Cabinet Discusses Reply.
Friday the1 cabinet considered Japan's
response to the president's invitation
which was a cokdial acceptance of the
proposal to discuss armaments but failed
to agree to the second proposal that in-
ternational issues which make present
day expensive armaments necessary be
considered with a view to a general ad-
justment. Following the cabinet meeting it was
learned that exchanges are now in prog-
ress between the United States and Japan
with reference to Japan's implied objec-
tion to participating in a discussion of
the Far Eastern and Pacific questions.
Japan's position however has occasioned
no delay in plans for the conference and
the president expects to issue the formal
call in the near future.
Every aspect of the president's pro-
posal of a conference of the five prin-
cipal allied and associated powers and
China was considered at today's session
with particular reference to the attitude
of Japan and indications that certain un-
invited nations having interests in the
Far East would like to participate.
Outlook Optimistic.
There was general felicitation that the
conference was issued in spite of the
obstacle apparently raised by Japan's
position.
Publicly administration officials made
no criticisms of Japan's course taking
the view that the Japanese government
was entirely within its rights In seeking
to ascertain the range of subjects that
would be considered under the beading of
Far Eastern and Pacific questions. It is
understood that the United States gov-
ernment has informed Japan that as it is
only one of the participating powers it
can not undertake to define the limits of
ronferenee procedure. That determina-
tion according to the government's posi-
tion must be left to participating gov-
ernments themselves when they meet in
Washington.
No objection exists on the -part of this
government to diplomatic exchanges prior
to the conference with a view to agreeing
in a tentative way upon an agenda for
the conference. It contend that there
is nothing incompatible between the v(ews
of the United States government and the
desire of the Japanese government to
ascertain the probable nature and scope
of the conference and that in the ordi-
nary course of events all these questions
will be worked out by the several powers.
Notes Explain Positions.
Japan's position is being made clearer
in news dispatches from Tokio where
it is esrYnt the fear exists tKt Japan
will fin I herself confronting bloc of
European powers and Amc whose
attitude will be to the detr.ment of meas-
ures Japan hag taken .' strengthen her
hold on China and tb Far East. The
inclusion of China in the list of nations
asked to participate in the resolution of
the Far Eastern questions is not pleas-
ing to Japan and suspicion is apparent
in Tokio that France and Italy were
invited to attend the conference in order
to strengthen the case that the United
States will present with reference to
problems affecting the Orient and the
future control of the Pacific ocean.
President Harding still clings to the
opinion that armistice day November 11
will ho the most suitable date for the
opening session of the conference and it
is supposed that his suggestion will be
advanced to the participating govern-
ments in the preliminary conversations.

ACCUSED OFFICERS
ARE DEFENDED BY
GERMAN ADMIRAL
Sinking of Hospital Ship
Loyalty to Fatherland
Says Von Trotha
BY GEORGE SELDES.
(Copyright 1921).
By Leased Wire to The Houston Post
BERLIN July 15. Admiral Von
Trotha chief of the German naval staff
who was called yesterday to testify in
the case of Lieutenants Boldt and Dith-
mar charged with silking the British
hospital ship Landovery Castle defended
the two submarine officers saying:
"I honor the German submarine offi-
cers and place them higher than myself."
Asked by Supreme Justice Ebermeyer
why the officers refused to give testi-
mony Admiral Von Trotha replied that
they were pledged to obey and remain
silent. "I honor them for keeping their
oath to their superior officer" he said.
Furthermore Von Troths declared
that Lieutenants Boldt and Dithmar act-
ed "in a fatherlandisb sense" when they
torpedoed the ship. He gave at length
a description of the terrible life aboard
submarines which the officers underwent
and told of the "terrible mental stress"
to which they were subjected. N
The judge then took the opportunity
to declare that all the testimony about
alleged British atrocities was irrelevant
and would not be considered by the court.
German officers testified that Cap-
tain Fatxig the commander of the sub-
marine 31 which sunk the hospital ship
and who is now s fugitive from justice
was not guilty of attempting to sink the
ship without traces otherwise he wonld
not have taken two officers aboard.
Employes at Ellis Island
Resent Graft Charges
Associated Press Report
NEW YORK July 15. Employes at
the immigration station on Ellis Island
held indignation meetings r nday in pro
tent against the charges made by Immi
eration Commissioner Frederick A. Wal
Kh. that wholesale grafting prevailed
there and that immigrants had been
fleeced of SoUUU(H.
"The charges of graft are a gross libel
on the integrity of the whole of the em-
ployes" said Deputy Commissioner By-
ron H. Uhle.
"We may have a few rascals among
our 500 or 600 employes but as a whole
they are honest men and women of prov
en integrity. I defy one to prove the
existence of wholesale grafting and in
vite investigation of these charges."
