JAPANESE ARMY
BAN ON POLITICS
OFFICIALS DISMISSED
(Received July 17, noon.) LONDON, July 16.
The- Times' Tokio correspondent states that Mr. Masaki, inspector-general of military education, has been relieved of his post, one of the three most important in the army, conferring the right of direct access to the Emperor. General Ilayashi, with the support of the army as a whole, is removing from kev positions officers desiring to play a political role, anil whose tendency towards independent action has been noticeable since the Manchnnan affair. Realising Mr. Masaki's opposition to the changes, General Ilayashi twice asked Mr. Masaki to resign, after which he dismissed him. The action is a victory for the moderate elements, with whom General Tlavashi has become increasingly identified.
