In the event of German subjects being found doing anything injurious to the naval or military interests of Japan or Great Britain, or anything likely to disturb the peace and safety of Japan, they will either be dealt with according to law or deported.

"It is the desire of the Government to afford every possible protection to Germans in view of the friendly relation ship that has existed between Japan and Germany, unless their actions bring them into conflict with the law. All Japanese should keep the spirit of the injunctions in mind, and act with good grace, and liberality

EDUCATION MINISTER'S INSTRUCTIONS. Mr. Ichiki, Minister of Education, has issued instructions to all the schools and religious bodies in the country to give Warning to students and others under their charge to refrain from ads and utterances towards Germans that are liking to offend them. Although Japan is now at war with Germany, there should be no hostile feelings between individuals, and it would be as unbecoming as it would be andignified that students or religious people should indulge in improper acts or utterances as regards Germany or Germans.
