Anti-British Meetings In Japanese Cities, As London Explanation Called “Unsatisfactory”

SEARCH FOR HAPPY SOLUTION OF IMPASSE

LONDON, AUG. 5 (REUTER).—SATORU MAKIHARA, ONE OF THE TWO JAPANESE BUSINESS-MEN ARRESTED IN LONDON ON FRIDAY, WAS RELEASED FROM BRIXTON PRISON TO-NIGHT. HE HAS RETURNED TO HIS LONDON HOME.

Earlier, a Japanese Embassy spokesman declared that Lord Halifax's explanation of the London arrests was considered unsatisfactory by the Japanese Ambassador.

Nevertheless, he added, it was hoped that a happy solution would still be found and cordial relations be restored.

INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE

LONDON, Aug. 5 (UP)-Before Mr. Makihara was released the British authorities issued the following statement: "The case has been further considered and the evidence has not been deemed sufficient to warrant further detention."

It is understood that Mr. Tanabe is remaining in custody.

The deportation of Takayuki Eguchi and Mrs. Yoshii, who were arrested earlier in the month,

Feasibility Admitted

It is reported that it is the Inten- tion of the Germans to use towed gliders. This, as the Air Force have proved for themselves, is feasible, but

In his long career as an explorer Cook admitted many. fallures, claimed only two successes. Col- leagues elther refused to accept the claims or reluctantly, accepted them.

Cook first became interested in polar exploration in 1801, when he accompanied Peary's expedition as surgeon.
