STEPS AGAINST ESPIONAGE. DETECTIVES WATCHFUL. KOBE, Oct. 25. United Press Assn. —Elec. Tel. Copyrignt. Extraordinary precautions are being taken against espionage in Japan. Americans are being singled out for special attention by the Japanese detective force. A month ago executives of the Tokyo branch of the Bank of New York were refused permission to send to their head office pictures of Japan for use in advertising propaganda. The latest step in the campaign occurred yesterday when a party of bank officials on an excursion by car to Kyoto were escorted throughout their holiday by detectives, who prevented any photographs being taken. The car was boarded soon after tiic start of the holiday, and the tourists were handed over to other parties at various stages of the journey. Diplomatic pressure is to be brought to bear in order to ease the situation.
