JAPANESE TAKE
SOUTH SEA isle
German Establishment on
Jaluit Destroyed China
Not Expected to Oppose.

Washington, Oct 6.-Confirmation
of the reported occupation of the is
land of Jaluit by Japanese has been
with the statement that the military
establishment maintained by the
German government had been de-
stroyed.
In the statement issued at the en-
bassy it was pointed out that Jaluit
has been used as naval base by the
German squadron and that it's occupa-
ton was necessary to the safety of
shipping in the South seas.
At the German embassy it was
stated that Jaluit is of no military
value and that no Notifications exist
ed there. Surprise is expressed that
the Japanese should have felt obliged
to occupy the island when British
and Australian wcrships are in COM
plete control of the South seas.
Concerning the general situation In
the East, it is known that Japan
counts upon the Chinese government
to take no definite steps to back up
the reported hostile attitude of its
cabinet toward the mikado's forces.
1t was freely declared that China is
helpless as she has neither army nor
navy worthy of consideration as
against the Japanese, and that since
the European war has kept off the
payment of installments on the Chin
csc loan, no large military movement
could be financed.
! At the Japanese embassy the opin-
ion prevails that the Japanese occu
patton of Chinese territory will BIZ
brief and that no clash will occur.

Washington, Oct. 6.-The Demo-
Gratis of the senate were in caucus all
day and late tonight on the war tax
bill. Most of the time was spent in
a discussion Of the tax on beer, gaso-

Senator Lewis of Illinois proposed
that the entire bill be dropped and
that the treasury call in at the rate Of
$2,000,O00 month the $75,00O,0 900

also to supplement this with an IN

proved.

mittee just before the measure was
turned over to the Democratic senate

to increase the revenue as much as

been given the committee as to the
amount to be derived from this new

counter attack in the region south OF

army of General dAmade, reaches

Sir John stretches east. The German
strategy is evidently based on the
hope of driving a wedge through the

British force facing north, thus en-
abling them to concentrate force
