CLAIMS JAPAN
BROKE PROMISE
China Indignant Over What Is Termed
Gross Breach of Faith-lt Is
Intimated That Trouble
May Follow
BY Associated Press.

MUKDEN, May 14.-The repeated
promises made by the Japanese for the
past three years to return to China the
property appropriated through the ext
gencies of war are still unfulflled.
In consequence of this China is ex-
pressing much Indignation at what is
considered a gross breach of faith. Yet
the recovery is considered doubtful If
a large amount of government and pri-
vate property in numerous places
throughout Manchuria, which was ap-
propriated by Japan without compen-
sation, on the sole pretext that China
had failed to observe neutrality in
allowing Russia to occupy these build
ings, mines and land.
This excuse is not considered honest,
because Japan Is fully aware of Chinas
helplessness to enforce neutrality while
Japan in regard to abuse of neutrality
is considered equally guilty.
Russia holds much appropriated
property which has been leased to Jap
anese without compensation to China.

CHICAGO, May 14.-Many men re-
ceived small fortunes from the board
of trade this morning by quietly un-
loading wheat at the high prices made
possible by yesterdays extraordinary
bull movements.
The pit, however. was less spectacu-
lar than it was yesterday and the GAL
lery, crowded to it's utmost capacity,
waited in vain for a burst of pande-
monium like that which lasted for
hours yesterday.
December wheat touched a dollar for
a single sale at the opening but prompt
ly retreated from this conspicuous po-
sition.
The volume of business done was
heavy. Board memberships, which re-
Gently found no buyers at $500, were
easily salable at $2500 today.
