and said I would do nothing of the MALINIMALINIMALINIMALINIMALINIMALINIMALINDALINIMALINI kind, reminding him that if the MALINIMALINIMALINIMALINIMALINIMALINIMALINIMASINIMALINI German Government had any com- MALINIMALINIMALINIMALINIMALINIMALINIMALINIMALINIMALINT munication to make to Japan on the MALINIMALINIMALI matter it should be made through the Japanese Minister in Tokyo...

"Then he had the impudence to say: "You are a young men yet, and . ought to read the history of Europ -ean diplomacy." I retorted that whether I read the book or not was my own affair, that it did not require | old age to see that Germany's con- duct in that case was an uncalled-for and unwarrantable interference, and that I could not convey to my Go- vernment a message which was made in such an irregular manner.

"Later, when the Kaiser paid a visit to the Court of St. James's a great banquet was given in the royal palace, to which all representatives of foreign nations were invited. There were cordial greetings all round; but -the Kaiser, while courteous to the ⚫ others, gave me the cold shoulder and left the chamber without taking any notice of me."

"It is quite fresh in our memory." said Viscount Kato, that upon his departure from Yokohama, after the commencement of hostilities between Japan and Germany, Count Rex, the German Ambassador to Tokyo, re- fused to shake hands with Secretary Yoshido, who had gone to the pier to give him a send-off, and had, the rudeness to say to him, Germany will never forgive you, Japan.

"All this well typifies the pro verbial German baseness and trea chery, and we can congratulate ourselves,.. not", only for Japan. but for the whole world, that fate has recoiled upon Germany's" own head the curses and intrigues which she had so heinously thrown broad cast upon the rest of the world."

Marquis Okuma, who also spoke at the dinner, said that Japan's de claration of war, onGermany of August, 1914, was made on the advice of Viscount Kato. The destruction of: German militarism, he added, would place, the Anglo-Japanese Alliance on a firmer baai, than ever, and the relations between Japan and foreign countries would become closer:
