Japan's Demand ON China.
(By the Associated Press.)

(By the Associated PreSS.)
London, Aug. 17.-The Associated
Press learned this afternoon that ia
pan made a demand of China, practi-
cally in the nature of an ultimatum
that she Immediately enforce her neu-
trality in the case of the protected
cruiser Askold and the torpedo boat
destroyer Gromoboi, now at Shang-
hal Japan pointed out that the time
limit. twenty-four hours, permitted by
international law had expired and that
Japan therefore was at liberty to take
such action as may seem to her eXped-
lent.
At the Japanese legation here it was
expressly stated that the Toxic gov
ing quiescent if Russia attempts to
compel China to give asylum to her
men of war and authorize repairs at
her ports which would enable them
to resume belligerent operations.
Should China fail to comply imme-
diately with Japan's demand the di-
vision of Japanese Warships now in
the vicinity of Shanghai will, the le-
CATION declares, be instructed to en-
ter the port and capture the Askold
and GromobOi, as was done in the
case of the Ryeshitelni. Japan has
made no secret of her intention, but
had not consulted the powers, believ-
ing that the matter is one which con-
cerned herself alone. Japan is pre-
pared, the legation further asserts t
recognize Chinese neutrality only sc
long as it is respected by Russia.
With regard to the Ryeshitelni, ia
pan, 1T is asserted, is determined no
to comply with the Chinese demand
submitted in compliance with the Rus
sian note that the vessel be returned

| intents and purposes Chefoo has beer
Russian base during the war, Cnl
| nese Junks having been fitted out there
and then through the Japanese dock

TOXIC, Aug. 1S.-2 p. NIT is not
probable that Japanese vessels will en-
ter Shanghai to seize the Russian
Warships there.
Japan always has taken the ground
that Shanghai is an international port
ana during her war with China she
renamed from attacking it, Japan
relles upon the Chinese government to
d1sarm the cruiser Askold and the de-
stroyer Grozovoi, bat there is no
doubt that she will blockade the mouth
of the Yangtse to prevent the escape
of the Russian vessels.

were sung by Tom Greene while moving
pictures of Jerusalem were exhibited on the
canvas.
DR.. Hughes said in the course of his ad-
dress: Thousands of men fail to accept
Christ and His doctrines because they are
afraid to go home and tell their fathers,
mothers or wives about it, The fact is,
however, a man is liable to overestimate the
view his relatives and friends will take of
his conversion

Kid Mccoy and fitz
 Are Matched
THESE TWO OUGHT TO PUT UP BATTLING GOOD FiGHT-Me- GOV NOT LIKELY TO CARRY GREAT DEAL
 OF MONEY


 Bob Fitzsimmons and Kid Mccoy are to be matched. The fight would prove a great drawing care. and the two ought to put up a rattling good bout, although Mccoy is not likely to carry a great deal of the public mon ey. Mccoy, in the last two years, has been defeated. or practically de- feated by both Jack Root and Kid Car ter. two men who would have stood little chance when the Kid was ID prime. If these two men. neither oi whom possesses a tithe of the clever ness and ring generalship of fltZ' could reach Mccoy and pummel him. it is hardly likely he will be able 10 keep away from Fitz. unless the hid has come back to his old form.
 It is quite likely Mccoy has re gained a good deal of his former speed, for he has not nearly reached the age at which mans physicai powers begin to decline. rms, now ever. is purely a matter ot conjecture, McCoy's showing against Placke gi'ss no line on his form. for slow man would appear fast by comparison wi'D the ponderous Hollander But If NC is going after such game as fltz II must be he has confidence in his con dition. and it may be assumed the hiO will he in shape to put up good hght-
 As to Fitz, the grandfather Of the ring. has been in good shape all the time, except for his hands. which were badly battered up in his bout Win Gardner. Fitz himself -Ainks ms hands are right again, and he cusn- 'o know.
 Even if he is too optimistic in re- gard to the ability of his freek;ea fists to inflict punishment without giving out. his hands ought hot to DC subjected. to a severe striin in a siA- round bout with McCcy- The kld has ever been a frail shoot. unable to stand much buffeting. and one 'r t~c good wallops from Red Robert Wouiu put him to the boards.
 Eitz will undoubtedly be the iavoriie and rightly so, although in six rouhls between two such clever men @n 'e"- out is hardly possible.
