and the New Minister to China.
The recall Of Charles r. Crane just
as he was about to take the steamer
for China. where he was to act as
United States ambassador. and his re-
moval from that Office by Secretary
Knox have caused a diplomatic sensa-

of Mr.. Knox's principal reasons. for de-
manding Cranes resignation was that
the latter had been indiscreet in OBJ

Japan's domination Of Manchuria, and
gave 1t to a Chicago newspaper. 1t is
also said there were many other rea-
