by some of the London papers of the
interview. "I have seen Premier

papers misconstruing the statements
he made to the effect that Russia is
still in the war t odo its duty."
"I have seen Kerensky with refer
ence to the interview and shown him
the quotations in the English press,"
he continued. "He was very much
astonished with the manner in which

FOCR-MTXUTE MAX TO SPEAK
W
. B. Rurrus Will Talk Tonight at
Columbia Picture Shows.
W. B. Burrus of Springfield, one of
the four-minute men of the state who
are directing a campaign of education

and why the United States is in it,
will make three speeches in Columbia

the Columbia Theater on "What Our
Enemy Really Is," and between the
shows at the Odeon he will have his
subject "Onward to Victory." Each of
these talks will last four minutes.
The organization of four-minute men
is working under the direction of the
Committee on Public Information at
Washington. County organizations
have been formed in most of the coun
ties in Missouri, but In Boone County
the work has lagged. The chairman
ship has been offered to Robert J.
Kerner of the history department of
the University, but it is not known yet
whether or not he will accept. As
soon as a chairman is obtained, about
eight speakers will be appointed to
make four-minute talks three times a
week at the moving picture shows
throughout the county.
Mr. Burrus attended a smoker of
four-minute men from all over the
state in St. Louis last night, and there

Agreement as to Military,
Naval and Economic Co-
Operation in War Against
Germans Made.
DOUBTS OFPAST
DONE AWAY WITH
It Is Believed Work Per
formed Is of Highest Val
ue in Fostering Friendship
Between Countries.
By Associated Tress
WASHINGTON, Nov. 6. Japan and
the United States have 'reached a
complete agreement in regard to China
and at the same time have arrived at
an understanding as to military, naval
and economic co-operation in the war
against Germany.
This development was announced to
day by Secretary Lansing, who made
public notes exchanged by him and
Viscount Ishii, the special Japanese
ambassador, formally recording an
agreement recognizing that Japan has
a special interest in China, pledging
the independence and territorial In
tegrity of the great eastern republic
and re-affirming tho doctrine of the
"open door" for commerce and In
dustry.
Both Countries Are Benefited.
In a statement accompanying the an
nouncement, Secretary Lansing said:
"Viscount Ishii and the other Japanese
commissioners, who are now on their
way back to their country, have per
formed a service to the United States
as well as to Japan, which is of the
highest value.
"There unquestionably has been
growing up between the peoples ol
each country a feeling of suspicion
as to the manifest intentions and ac
tivities of the other in the far east, a
feeling, which if left unchecked, prom
ised to develop a serious situation. An.
attitude of constraint and doubt thu
created was fostered and encourage??
by the campaign of falsehood, which
has been adroitly and secretly carried
on by Germans for a long time.
Details Not .Made Public.
"At the same time it is not expedient
to make public the details of the con
versation, but it may be said that this
government has been gratified by the
assurance of Viscount Ishii and his
colleagues that his government in
tends to do its part in the forcing of
Prussian militarism to submission,
and that Japan is willing to co-operate
in every practical way toward. this end.
It may be added, he said, that in the
matter of naval co-operation in the
Pacific, for the purpose of attaining
the common object against Germany
and her allies, agreement has been
reached by the naval representatives
of the Japanese government who ac
companied the Ishii commission to
this country."
It is believed that Japan will be able
to augment the efforts she has been
making in sweeping the Pacific and
Indian oceans clear of German raid
ers and possibly to employ Japanese
troops in the campaign against Ger
many. WANTS C50000 PLEDGE SIGNERS
Food Administrator Stamford Says
Every Family In Slate Should Help.
"The food pledge campaign is going
to be overwhelmingly successful,"
said Food Administrator F. B. Mum
ford today. "Robert H. Hudson, who Is
in charge of the .campaign in St.
Geneviee County, below St. Louis, has
written me that every family in the
county has signed the pledge. Though
I haven't complete returns from other
counties the indications are that hard
ly a single family will fail to sign."
Dean Mumford expects to get 650,000
signers in the state. This is the num
ber of families in Missouri, according
to computations based on the latest
census figures. What makes the cam
paign more gratifying, says Dean
Mumford, is that signers arc asking
questions as to how they can best live
up to the obligations of the pledge.

Baron M. Erzberger, leader of the Cen
trist party, in an Interview today with
the Associated Press.
"This has been the most momentous
week since the establishing of the
empire," said Herr Erzberger, "In a
recital of the incident leading to a
solution of the recent political crisis.
This achievement represents a per
manent political government for the
German people.
"Through the chief of the civilian
population, the people imparted their
conviction to the crowned ruler, urg
ing the cohesion and liberalization of
the gotcrnmental policy in foreign and
domestic issues under the direction of
the Reichstag, at least during the
period of the war."
