"WASHINGTON', Sept. 6. Sweeping de
mands, far mora drastic than any published
summaries have Indicated, ore contained In
the secret terms being pressed on China by
Japan as a result of the recent mined con
flict between soldiers of the two nations nt
Cheng Chlatun, In Inner Mongolia. l'rlvate
dispatches reveal that Japan seeks Indem
nities, an apology and political concessions
throughout Inner Mongolia and south Man
churia. The four formal demands art quoted as
follows:
First Punishment of the commanding
Chinese officer Involved in tho trouble.
Second, Dismissal, with punishment, ox
the other officers Involved.
Third. Instruction-) to Chinese troops In
Inner Mongolia and south Manchuria not to
Interfere In any way with Japanese troops
or civilians, and to publish this fact broadly
Fourth. Recognition of "special Inter
ests" for Japan In Inner Mongolia and
?
southern Manchuria, comprising powers of
police and administration, preference In
loans and in the selection of all foreign ad
visers, etc.
FOUR CONCESSIONS REQUIRED
Besides the four "demands" are four
"concessions" which China Is asked to grant
Japan without formal demand, as follows:
First. Tho Chinese army In South Man
churia and eastern Mongolia to employ
Japanese military advisers
Second. Chinese schools and colleges to
have Japanese military Inspectors. This Is
not limited to any section In dispatches so
far received.
Third. A formal apology In person from
the Chinese Governor of Mukden to the
Japanese Governor of Dalren and the Jap
anese Consul at Mukden for the Cheng
Chlatun trouble
Fourth. Monetary compensation to the
families of the Japanese killed, tho amounts
to bo settled by later negotiation.
U. S. SEEKS INFORMATION
Under Instructions from tho State De-r-rtment.
Ambassador Guthrie, at Toklo,
and Minister Relnsch, at Fekln, aro Investi
gating the Japanesc-Chlneso situation pre
cipitated by tho foregoing demands. Jnpan
has admitted that alio has demanded In
1 demnltles, an apolqgy for tho attacKs made
upon Japanese, and political concessions
throughout Inner Mongolia and southern
Manchuria, but. In so notifying the United
States, she has Insisted that there is no plan
of interference with the "open door" policy
It Is Information as to whether the state
ments of Japan are founded on fact that
the American representatives at the Jap
anese and Chinese capitals will seek
At most, Japan has been expected to de
mand the extension to Inner Mongolia of
rights already secured In south Manchuria.
Instead. she seeks more than she has ever be
fore demanded in this section, and besides
asking full reparation for the speclflo dlrtl
culty, she has made it the basis for de
manding political rights which are inter
preted In Fekln as destroying China's sov
ereignty In that whole section.
Special attention is attracted here to the
demand for a formal apology In person
from the Chinese Governor in Mukden to
the Japanese Governor at Dalren and the
Japanese Consul at Mukden This would
require the Chinese official to humiliate his
Government by going Into Japanese terri
tory. ANXIETT IX WASHINGTON
But it is the political articles which cause
deepest anxiety to Washington officials.
They were omitted entirely In the pub
lished demands. The recognition of "spe
cial rights" Is open to the most extreme
Interpretation, and it is feared might cut
directly across tho American policy of the
integrity of China. Also, it has in It pos
sibilities of violation of the open-door pol-
icy and the making of the whole vast re
gion Involved a mere dependency of Japan.
Article 3 of the "demands" places Jap
anese soldiers and troops in this Chinese
territory entirely above the control of Chi
nese soldi re, virtually annulling China's
sovereignty there. Japanese have already
won the right to their own courts, and In
many places their own police.
The employment of Japanese military ad
visers for Chinese forces in that vicinity
Is thought to be a first move to secure
Japaneso control of China's armed forces
there, as long urged by the military party
In Japan. Japanese military inspectors In
Chinese schools and colleges would mean a
start on this policy.
Well-Informed Chinese sources see nothing
for China but submission, believing any de
lay is apt to mean the occupation of the
territory by Japanese armed forces. China
Is In no condition to offer serious resistance.
Her financial condition Is desperate and her
army equipped wth none of the transporta
tion devices or heavy guns necessary for a
modern campaign. Moreover, the present
quarrel is very close to Japan's forces along
the Manchurlan Railroad and considerably
removed from China's base. There is no ex
pectation here that China can do aught but
enter a general protest, and seek to
ameliorate the demands as much as pos
sible. Jfo foreign country, save possibly the
United States, is expected to offer ob
jection to Japan's course, and some diplo
mats here believe Japan has jselxed this time
to put in fores her "Monroe Doctrine" for
China,
"AQGRESSrVB, IF A'OT PREDATORY"
PgKIN. Sept The Chinese press
strongly denounces the Japanese demands
made pn China. The PeMn Gazette says
'At- the moment China was beginning to
credit th Japanese, with good will Toklo
teek a step -which Is unintelligible except on
tli theory of continuity of the Japanese
faeMey as applied against Yvjan. Shl J$tl.
That policy Is aggressive. If not predatory.
China, alone and slngl-han4e4 cannot with
Mjk its pressure.'
TUe Oaitte asserts that fits demands
threaten China's sovereignty, and urges tb
sppolAtment of an Investigating commission
coujpcstd of representatives of the Uniteu
JiUtWt Great Britain, Franca and Russia.

machine-gun fire
(Denlecourt is nearly two miles cast of

Tho lack of spirit displayed by the Ger

Tho second anniversary of the beginning
of the battle of th Marne, which turned

In their advances since Sunday, both
north and south of the Somme. the French

that General Brussilotf's campaign has been
stopped by the gathering forces of Austro
Germans on the roads to Kovel and I.em.
berg is apparently disproved by the recent
Austro-German losses reported
The magnitude of the Russian offensive,
-which continues with scarcely any lessening
from the Prlpet marshes to the borders of
Hungary, Is indicated by the nearly 20,000
prisoners taken during the comparative
quiet of the last three weeks The Increas
ing proportion of German prisoners has
caused great satisfaction here, where it is
taken as evidence of decreasing resistance
of the German army.
General Brusslioff continues to perform
successfully his tactics of sharp, unexpected
thrusts along the whole front, changing the
point of attack with the greatest rapidity.
The result Is that the Austro-Oermans, ac
cording to military observers, nre In con
tinuous suspense and dare not withdraw
troops from one sector to another where
they are urgently needed.
The most Important of General Brussi
loft's recent actions Is an advance toward
Bnezany, along the hitherto unattempted
road midway between Brody and Hallcz,
and having for Its ultimate object the oc
cupation of Lemberg
Despite the sharp fighting In the region
of Vladlmlr-Volynskl, where the Germans
are bringing up all possible reserves to
checlc the Russian advance on that town,
the principal attention remains focused for
the present on the operation in the Lemberg
region, since there now appears to be a
greater chance pf taking the capital of
Gallcla than the German center at Kpvel.
This possibility, according to the military
experts, has been magnified by Rumania's
entry Into the war and her engagement of
a considerable portion of the Austrian
forces, slpce Transylvania ond Gallcla now
constitute the left and right wing of the
same front, and an advance Into Transyl
vania will compel the withdrawal of the
Austrian left wing In Gallcla,
Last night' Russian official report says
In the direction of Vladlmlr-Volynskl
and in the region of theTJpper Sereth
we captured in battles from Thursday
to Saturday Hi officers and 4511 men.
We took six cannon. Sf machine guns
and four mine throwers.

troops continue to advance W have

Venizclos Indicts King
and Demands Action
ATHENS, Sept. G.
rpHE following striking points
were made by the former Greek
Premier, Venizclos, leader of the
Liberal Party, in a proclamation
written by him and approved re
cently nt a great public demon
stration:
King Constantino is the victim of
n military clique, reactionary poli
ticians, Teuton intrigue and a pro
Germanism based upon false hope of
German victory.
Constantino hopes, with the aid of
a victorious Germany, to seize tho
powers of government after the war
and hold absolute sway.
Tho work of the revolution and
the fruits of two wars destroyed
by tho King's failure to net in ac
cordance with the true interests of
Greece.
Possibility of Greek expansion in
Asia Minor, Thrace and Cyprus de
stroyed and country invaded by Bul
garian troops as the result of King's
policy. Army demoralized and
nation divided.
Immediate change in policy neces
sary. All factions must unite under
the leadership of the present
premier, Zaimis. The army must
be reorganized. A benevolent neu
trality toward the Entente Allies
must be adopted with a view of en
tering the war against the Central
Empires in tho immediate future.
The fate and glory of Greece is
contingent upon the triumph of the
great nations of tho West, France
and England, the liberators and pro
tectors of Greece, and not upon the
victory of Germany and Austria.

Berlin Reported Drafting
Ultimatum to Greece
GERMANY is preparing to take
action against Greece as a re
sult of that country's submission to
the demands of the Entente, accord
ing to dispatches from London.
The fact that Greece has allowed
armed forces from allied battleships
to hunt down German and Austrian
subjects in the streets of Athens is
considered an utter violation of neu
trality, and it is reported from Am
sterdam that an ultimatum is in
preparation at Berlin.
Greece is making quiet prepara
tions for war at an early date, ac
cording to Athens dispatches. Five
classes of reservists have been re

Action of American Government
Called Unexpected and
Revolutionary
WASHINGTON, Sept. 6. Europe's chan
cclterlcs aro deeply concerned bver the dras
tic enactments conlatned In ths Administra
tors shipping bill and In the rcvtnu mean
ute approved br Ihc senate early today
placing retaliatory weapons In tho handa of
President Wilson. Through their diplomatic
representatives tier they ore following
closely this legislation, which will permit
Pros dent Wilson to substitute for passive
diplomacy a policy ot reprisal against all
nations discriminating against American
trade.
The action ot ths Government Is revo
lutionary and entirety unepectW. It per
mits the President to baclt up United States
malls nnd boycott demands In n way that
will prove distinctly embarrassing to the
Kntento Allies.
TOWERS DISCRETIONARY
White unoDtctal suggestions have been
mado by certain of the embassies that these
inovislons violate existing trade agreements,
they havo not been received with any de
gree of warmth nt tho State Department.
It has been pointed out that the powers
given the President under tho proposed laws
nre In every way discretionary. He can
utilize them It the necessity arises, but they
can be put Into effect only In the manner
recognized by International law,
Tho fact that theso amendments have
been fathered by Senators James, Thomas
and Phclan, thick nna thin supporters of
the Administration, Is accepted ns Indicat
ing that they have the approval of the
President nnd Secretary of State Lansing.
CORRECTS MAIL DELAYS
It haa been known for some time that tho
delay on the part of Great Britain nnd
France in giving relief to the protest against
tho unnecessary detention nnd rifling of
American malls to and from this country has
been a Bource ot Irritation to the State Dt
partment.
Hut there was nothing that this Govern
ment could do under the Circumstances. But
If tho provisions read Into the revenue bill
remain unchanged and ofltclals expect that
thoy wilt then tho Administration can en
force a reply that will bo satisfactory to It
and end tho Intolerable Interference Willi
malls that nro In no way subject to the
operations of warfare.

2000 LAWYERS SEEKING
FLAW IN 8-H0UR LAW
a. v dUu
Railroads' Counsel Try to Find
if Ground Exists for
Attack on Bill
NEW YORK, Sept. 6,Someth ng Ilk
2000 bf the best lawyers In tho cduntry
were at work jesterday In tho general
odtccs of the C2S Interstate carrlcm affected
by President Wilson's elght'lioui' day lav(
seeking to determtno If any good grouni
exists for an attack on Its constitutionality.
That fact wns c tctl by lullio.id odlclals
here as nn answer the only answer the
roads care to make nt this time lo reports
from Washington concerning n supposed at
tempt nt a dicker through vvhlch, by an
unqualified, hands-down acceptnhcc of the
measure, the carriers hope to win material
concessions from the four brotherhoods.
As the situation now ntnnds tho general
counsel has become a bigger map than the
railroad president and the managers' con
ference committee reprenciuatlvc put to
gether. It Is lor hint to say whether br
not the $tt0,O00,000-a-yoar law Is to be
permitted to stand.
"The lavvjer," as one official put It, "Is
tho boaR now. None of the rest of us dares
to talk "
Ira A. Dace, vlco president In charge of
the law department of tho New York Cen
tral, was appealed to.
"I can't Bny a thing about what proce
dure will be taken by the lallronds," he
said. "I don't know and t don't think any
ono else Is quito sure, Just now."
There nro two big questions vvhlch ths
general counsels and their starts will have
to decide beforo Jahuary 1, 1017, when the
eight-hour law becomes operative. Ono IS
as to tho possibility bf enjoining tho Fed
eral Government from putting the law Into
force for some such action may follow a
decision to put tho question ot constitution
ality up to the Supreme Court. The second
Is, of com ne, as to tho possibility of having
the elght-hoUr day overthrown In that
tribunal.
