A NOTE FROM CHINA
HER ATTITUDE IN ANTuNG-Muk' DEN RAILROAD CONTENTION
 EXPLAINED TO POWERS.
HAS MADE MANY CONCESSIONS
Japan is Declared to Have Made FIaarant Attack on the Rights of China in the Present Instance---Wlii Stand Firm.

Brussels, Aug. 14.-The Chinese board of foreign affairs has telegraph ed to the Chinese legation here the text of China's circular note to the powers, dated August II, In which the government upholds its attitude in the question of the Antung Mukdon rail road.
 After tracing the history of this question and pointing out that China made many concessions to Japan, who still tried to throw upon China's shoulders the responsibility for the de- lay in beginning the work, the note declares Japan's interest in the line to be entirely strategic and in no sense economic.
 Japan has sought unjustified az gression" the note declares. Already in the question of South Manchuria, she has outlined on several occasions the territorial rights of China and she is trying to secure little by little new rights not specified in existing treaties.
 "In the present case the attack on lHtDd TlSHtS lo udSi duts ehAh"i tftN~ Japan, now addresses herself to the powers. She is conscious that she has defended not only her own legitimate rights, but the veritable interests of the powers against the pretensions of Japan"
 The note sets forth that Japan in announcing that she would take up the construction of this line without furth- CT negotiations, went outside the treaty of 1905, which stipulated that China should have the right to police the railroad and survey it's construc- ton. That China was inclined to be conc.liatory is shown by the fact that she accepted the proposal to widen the tracks from narrow to standard guage, and agreed to certain changes In the permanent line"
 Tn conclusion the note says:
 "The interest of the powers Is that no one shall occupy privileged posi- ton in Manchuria. China will con- tinue as heretofore to be inspired by her conscience of right and spirit of fidelity to existing treaties She re fuses to grant to Japan the right to place new troops in China and exer- else police functions in China. But in these negotiations China will continue to show patience and magnanimity.

 Corps--Others Chosen.

 Both elections were held in execu- tive session. The Grand Army's or der of business did not provide for the election of officers, but the increasing departures of delegates warned the encampment that an early choice would be necessary to secure full expression of the will of the majority
 In addition to Commander Van Sant, the following officers were elected:
 Senior vice commander-W M. Bostaph. ogden, Utah.
 Junior vice ommander-Judge AL fred Beers, Bristol. Conn.
 Surgeon general-W. H. Lemon, Lawrence, Kansas.
 Nominations for the office of chap lain were made but the vote upon this position was postponed owing to the lateness of the hour. The election of chaplain and the decision as to the next meeting place went over.
 poll taken indicates that the chances of St. Louis for the 44th en- campment are much brighter. At lantic City, the other aspirant. does not want the encampment in August and the veterans are loath to change the month of meeting.

 Declaring that period of financial and commercial depression increase counterfeiting, Chief Wilkie asks for an increase in the annual appropria- ton for his service of $20.000. He declared that as q result of the lini- tations placed on the Secret Service, nine men have been dropped from tie rolls since July 1, some of them now being in the employ of the De- partment of Justice as special agents. Mr Wilkie devoted his arguments principally 10 the plan to organize d central detective bureau in the De- partment of Justice, which would do the Investigating and detective work for all of the government departments. He declared himself against the French system, under which the de- tcctive bureau keeps itself informed regarding all persons and matters so that evidence can be furnished when over there Is crime. Mir. Wilkle said that the bureau which he pro- poses should investigate at the dis cretion of the attorney general.
 In conclusion. Mr. Wilkie said:

 Reply to Monsg. Lucey
Q quickly absOrbed. GivAa 0Alief al Once

Editor Graphic:
 My attention has been called to a sermon touching Christian Science, reported in an issue of your paper a Jew weeks ago. and l request per iAisslon to correct, through the same pages. some false impressions that might otherwise remain uncorrecte1.
 It should be said to your readers and to Monsignor Lucey. (with kind4 eat regard for both) that Christian ScfeY1ce and what Is called 'Emanuel Movement" are not even akin as the latter has called them and they certainly should not be clsssed to- ,gesher, for the following reasons:.
 Emanuel Movement purports In any event to heal only by some process q .suggestion.--"the influence Of the huu1and mind upon the human body Ito quote Father Lucey. but this Is no part of Christian Science. It Is divine Mind (spelled with capital M to show that it means GoD that heals in Christian Science.
 Father Lucey says in the sermon referred to, that every practicinE physician understands this matter (suggestion), of the power of the lhuman mind over the human body) But he has not said that the wonders of healing recorded in the Old Testa- ment and i'll the new, were wrought by this influence Of the human duind", and l am of the opinion that he Is not willing to say that the power of God will not avail 10 heal the sick without the intervention of any human method whatever, or that it has not so availed in the Catholic fold.
 Christ's command to heal the sick" was limited to those who believe" hut not limited as to time or place or to include material means of any sort.
 Christian Science is wholcly stated in and can be learned from a study of the Bible together with the Chris tain Science Textbook Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Rev. Mary Baker G. Eddy. It's fol- lowers. for the most part having been restored to bodily or mental health (and sometimes both) by the careful and correct understanding Of this Science of right living, cannot be blamed for very greatly desiring that it shall not be weakened and con fused by the admixture of .nere human methods, however interesting as such they may be.
 With appreciation for the courtesy of this space. I am most respectfully your.

sponsible for them,y declared Mr.. Hol-

This comedy has been enacted in
this Council time and time again for
years" said Councilman Greenfield.
we ought to do something with this
matter, and do it quickly. l am In
favor of the mode of procedure sug-
by Councilman Holland, and
hope it will be put into execution

and might not be done to the
