Tokyo Commission Reports Review Exposition Plans
The American commissioners to the Tokyo exposition urge that the commission be placed on waiting orders with nominal pay until full activity and salaries resume. They deem the Japan visit diplomatically useful at a key moment, with expo preparations active and a Japanese official commission at work in Europe. A U S delegation will visit Seattle, and Japan will supply a suitable building for agriculture and food exhibits at the 1917 exposition, with possible support for mines, transport, and fine arts.

Plea for Marines Tests on Shipboard Withdrawals
A House Naval Affairs subcommittee heard Brig Gen Elliott and other Marine officers argue that President Wilson's order withdrawing Marines from ships would reduce enlistments. They claimed Marines match or exceed sailors in target practice and accuracy under equal conditions, countering Admiral Sperry and fleets who favor removal. Cablegrams from Atlantic and Pacific fleet commanders supported removing Marines, citing increased efficiency without Marines aboard ships.
