KMEKO CALLS ON PRESIDENT Japan, flaaadal Expert Adaaits That He Is Paazled by toe Statement Made by Witte and Sato. Orster Bar. Auc 7. Barcn Kaneko. the JapaDeee financUil expert, visited Saga- mara uui taw anemoon oy appo:nucent for conference) with the President. The prccbe natur of his mission is not dis closed, neither ho nor the President car lac to discuss It. except In general and aeeatlre terms. Assurance was gtren both by tha Presi dent and Baron Kaneko that the visit had ttothlnc to do with the pendtraj peace nesoUaUooa or with th ralauut of money by a loan for eitaer Japan or Russia. Baron Kaneko chatted with apparent frankness about himself and about the conditions tn his country. "A financial agent of Japan." he re peated, in response to a suggestion. "Oh. no. I am not a financial expert. Takahuhl was a financial expert, tut I am merely a man of leisure, stopping In that country because I enjoy being here. This is a won derful country' and the Americans are a wonderful people. Their friendship will never be forgotten by Japan no. not so long as the sun shall shine. "The noble work that President Roose velt has done in the Interest of peace wilt be remembered always. It Is the prayer of all of us that Ids efforts may be crowned with succcssi" "What do you think of the pisslbie re sult of the peace negotiations?" Baron Kaneko was asked. PUZZLED BY ENVOYS' TALK. "Doubt !s expressed whether the envoys ran reach an agreement." he replied cau tiously. '-The more I read and hear of what Witte and Sato ray the more ptia sled I become. I do not think anybody knows," "What Is the feeling In Japan as to a continuance of the war?" "Oh. I think there Is little general senti ment about It. "Our people are not seriously concerned, being certain of the ultimate result. Of courre we should like to have pace. but In Japan there are no people who desire P-ace at any price, xney are wining that the war should re on if necessary, and are prepared to fight It out. The Russians, we are told, are too poor or too proud to pay an Indemnity, the Indemnity Japan will ask." "As much as a billion dollars?" was sug gested. "No. too poor to pay the tndemnitv Ja pan will ask." Insisted Baron Kaneko. "but who can tell what In-'cmnlty Japan will demand? As f said, nobnriv but the er.voys know what It may be. 1 do not and kaow nobody who does. JAPAN'S PROGRESS. "What Is the latest you have heard from Japan r "Japan Is prosresslng everv dar." was the reply. "The country shows little. If any. evidence of l lie war. Business Is prosperous, the people are gc on at tending to their usual affairs and there has been no falling off !n either douiertlc or foreign trade. New -business enter prises and Industries are being launched, and tha commercial enthusiasm of the people cannot lie restrained. "An observer could not ten from any exterior evidence that the country was engaged In a great war. The people man ifest little or no anxiety for news front the battlefields, because they have no pos sible doubt of lh result of the cntifllct. "Nobody In Japan has lost either ills head or his sleep over the war." Karon Kaneko expressed a desire to meet Mr. Wltte. the chief envoy of the Rnsslan Ktnperor. The Itsron la a dapper and diminutive man. and he Indicate.! tint he knew something of the size of Mr. Witte bv trlng to reach him In the nlr above his head for a measure of height of the Russian. He does not expect to attend the peace conference at Portsmouth, even as a spec tator. LIKENS PRESIDENT TO JESUS CHRIST The Reverend F. W.
