JAPAN AND China
MILITARY ACTION TO ENFORCE
ITS DEMANDS UPON CHINA is -
THREATENED BY JAPAN.
Italy 10 Not To Submit-ordered To
Hoist American Flag Protest
Reported.

Western Newspaper Union News Service,
Peking, China.-Military action to
enforce its demands upon China has
been threatened by the Japanese gov
ernment, according to cable message
from the Chinese Minister at Tokyo.
1t is believed in official circles here,
however, that the communication
should not be taken too seriously.
Both public men and newspapers are
urging President Yuan Shi Kai to let
Japan seize, by force, what she wishes,
as China would be unable to oppose
her, but refuse to grant humiliating
concessions. 1t Is reported that Pres
ident Yuan Shi Kai intends to meet
some of the demands, granting Japan
such concessions as would be given to
any other country, but stubbornly re-
sisting any transgresslon of China's
sovereign rights. The Government Is
observing Japans requirement that
secrecy be maintained in conducting
negotiations, as it Is desired to give
Japan every opportunity of moderat-
ing her demands without losing pres.
tige.
Italy ls Not To Submit.
Rome.-The extension to neutral
vessels of Germany's threatened re.
prisals against British shipping is Sc.
verely condemned here, although It is
regarded as an attempt at intimida.
ton. 1t is officially stated Italy will
not submit to arbitrary imposition on
neutral ships, as Germany has means
of ascertaining the nationality OF mer-
chant ships by exercising the right Of
search.
Ordered To Hoist American Flag.
London.-The Press Association has
issued the following under a Blrming.

London, Feb. 8.-While the German
threat OF a blockade has created q
great wave of indignation among news
papers and the public, 1t is regarded
by some high officials as a BLUM.
1t Is contended that with the small
number Of war vessels at the disposal
of Germany 1t will be impossible to
make the blockade effective.
The argument is that II Germany
had been able to interfere with Brit
ish transports carrying troops to
France she already would have done
so.
Plans Counter Stroke.
Nevertheless, statement issued by
the foreign Office indicates the British
contemplate counter stroke. The
authorities are considering, says the
statement, more stringent measures
against German trade"
This may mean that all foodstuffs
destined for Germany will be declared
contrabInd Of war.
So far as shippers are concerned
little alarm appears to be felt.
