WORK ON RAILROAD WILL BE
BEGUN IMMEDIATELY
Powers Are Notified That Further De.
lay on Improvement of Antung-
Mukden Line Will Not
Be Tolerated

TOXIC, Aug. I'm a communication
issued today Japan officially notified
the powers of her intention to pro-
Ceed Immediately with the reconstruc-
tion and Improvement Of the Antung-
Mukden railroad without the consent
of China, diplomatic negotiations hav-
ing failed to overcome the opposition
OF that country to the commencement
of a work which Japan believes to be
within her rights under the treaty OF
1907.
The note outlines the entire course
of negotiations relative to the improve
ment of the railroad up to the present
time. 1t declares that throughout the
discussions China has had recourse TO
her Well-knOWn policy Of obstruction
and procrastinatiOn, has evaded the
reasonable demands of Japan and
raised collateral questions regarding
the police authority and other mat
ters," thus delaying a settlement.
Chinas reply of June "a is men
toned and the note declares that ia
pans rights under the treaty of 1903
were disregarded and the provisions of
the treaty wholly nullifed thereby. 1t
IS charged that China raised immaterial
issues and declared in her reply that
the work of Improvement of the An
tung- -Mukden railroad must be confined
to the existing track and that the
broadening of the gauge cannot be per-
mitted."
The communication concludes with
the statement that since June a. when
the reply was received, Japan has en-
deaVored to induce China to reconsider
her decision and recede from her un-
tenable position, but that the Chinese
government has maintained an uncom-
promising attitude,
The final paragraph Of the note con-
tains Japans ultimatum, which is eX-
pressed as follows:
TN this situation the imperial gov
ernment is compelled To take indepen-
dent action and proceed to carry out
the necessary work of constructing and
improving according to treaty rights.

 "Weel, sir." replied the beadle, with something like q leer in his eye, ito tell ye the truth, congregations nooa- days concern themsefs less about the heids than the tails O sermons. The ane you preached on Sabbath was con- siderably shorter than the general .rin O yer discoorses. and therefore body was weel pleased wi't.'
