ARTICLE OF JAPAN'S
DEMANDS UPON CHINA
Insists on Formers Right to Build
Railways.

Peking, China, April 11.-Article 5
of Group V of the japanese demands
made on China-an article which, it is
pointed out here, may be regarded by
the British as transgressing on their
railway concessions and railway
pledges received from China-was
reached in the discussion at the con-
ference held yesterday between the
Japanse minister to China, Mr.. Hioki,
and the Peking government officials.
Article Of Group V reads:
China agrees to Japan's right to
build a railway connecting Chang
with Kiu-Kiang and Nan-Chang; also
a line between Wu-Chang and Hang
Chow and a line between Nan-Chang
and Kiao-Chow.'
Influential japanese in Toxic and in
Peking have been suggesting for many
months that British capital and Jap
anese enterprise for railway and other
developments in China be combined.
British capitalists, however, SO far
have failed to respond to the idea
The British press in the Orient is
unspartng in its criticism of Japan
The North China Daily News, one of
the most prominent British newspapers
IN the far east, recently styled Japan's s
demand on China as a dirty trick"
Those foreign advisers who believe
that japan dare not employ force, es-
pecia1ly after China has conceded in
one form or another all but one article
OF the hrst four groups Of Japan's de-
mands. are prevailing with President
Yuan Shi Kai for the time being. The
sitter attitude which the Chinese he
gan to display at the conference held
on Thursday was continued at yester-
days meeting, Foreign Minister Lu
Cheng- Hsiang refusing to discuss arti-
cles 4, and of Group V despite, it
is said by Chinese officials, definite
threats on the part Of Japan.
(Arfic1A 4 ~ Grn1In U ,,y.oy>oe15 xl.4
Chlna shall purchase from Japan a
fixed ratio of the quantity Of munitions
OF war@say above SO per cent-or
Japan shall establish in China a. Joint
~ worked arsenal, Japanese technical
experts to be employed and Japanese
material to be purchased.)
IArticle OF the same group saws;
Ch1na agrees that in the province of
F'uk1en, Japan shall have the right to
work mines and build railways and to
construct harbor works, including
dockyards. and. in case of employing
foreign capital, Japan shall be first
consulted.")
Foreign Minister Lu Cheng- Hsians
again asked that discussion regarding
the Manchuria group be concluded. The
japanese minister replied, as on pre-
vious occasion, that he was without
| instructions in this regard from Toxic.
| There seems to be no doubt now in
Chinese and foreign circles in Pekfns
that the Japanese are deliberatine
| maintaining the Manchurian group
open.
In Japanese newspapers published in
China and otherwise the Japanese are
striving to impress upon the Chinese
that the latter's hope Of American as
sistance would be unavailing, 1t being
declared that Japan has knovledRe
that the American government will not
| interfere.
The Japanese are also arguing OIL
| cially and in the press that a Chino
Japanese combination, meaning an al
lance. will strengthen China. Such q
combination is specially argued when
article 4 Of Group V is the subject OF
| discussion.

AMERICAN DOCTORS AND
NURSES CONTRACT TYPHUs
Six of the Former and Twelve of the
Latter Stricken in Serbia.

New York, April t1.-Of the con-
tingent of six doctors and twelve
nurses sent to Serbia by the Ameri-
can Red Cross society since the Euro
pean war began. all but four have con-
tracte6 typhus, the disease they were
combating. according to DR.. M. P
Lane, of New Orleans. a Red Cross
doctor who arrived here today on the
steamship Finland from Mediterranean
ports.
Red Cross nurses, Miss Margaret Tul-
loss and Miss Glare Sensher. They
were ordered home by DR.. Ernest P.
Magruder, head of the Serbian con-
tingent, who has since died. to re-
cuperate after they had themselves
been confined to hospitals, victims Of
the scourge.
TT is impossible to convey in words
the condition of Serbia" said DIR. Lane
when we arrived we found the coun-
try in the grip of an epidemic of re-
current fever with a high percentage
of fatality. Following the recurrent
fever came the scourge of typhus,
brought into Serbia evidently by Aus
trian prisoners. The local physicians,
reinforced by medical attaches of the
various missionary societies. were ut
teriy unable to combat it and in al
most an incredibly short length of
time the disease was spread through
the entihe country
Death were so numerous that it
was hard to find means to dispose of
the bodies, cremation being the only
solution Of the problem. In one day
during the second week in February
$50 deaths were reported from typhus
in the city Of Nish alone. over the
| entire country it is safe to say that
not less than two out of every hun
dred people, including Serbians and
| prisoners of war have died and the
death rate is rapidly increasing.
''It will require strenuous efforts to
meet the contingency and successfully
combat it. Surgeons are not needed
as badly as are trained nurses, who
are willing to work. Sterilizing ap-
paratus and disinfectants are frnpera-
tive. 1t is almost impossible to OBJ
ttain pure water for drinking purposes
and the disease is being spread through
fifth and vermin.
when we left Serbia DR.. Magruder
was well and the news Of his death
first reached me today on my arrival
here. AS he bade US goodbye he told
me he had just received word that DR.
Ethan Butler had been stricken and
was in the hospital"

The, efforts of the French to ad-
vance in the Woevre distric are not
only meeting with characteristic re-
sistance, but the Germans are de-
hvering fierce counter-attacks at va
.rious POINTS, not only in that terri
tory, but to the north, in the neigh
borhood of Albert, around which many
engagements have been fought during
the course of the war.
The important strategic position of
Les Eparses, which dominates the
plain of the Woevre, has been free
from fighting since the French occu-
patton of two days ago, but as the
Germans are reported to have set
great store by this position, it is more
than likely that the lull presages a
reinforcement Of the troops who were
compelled to withdraw after the last
French attacks and offensive opera
tions for the recapture of that point.
The fighting to the north of Albert
was along the banks Of the Ancre
river and resulted from an attempt by
the GeUnans to take the French
trenches at HaInel and in the Trep-
wal wood. The attack was carried oLe
with determination and at various
POINTS there was hand-to hand fight
ting. But. according to the French Of
fcla1 statement, the Germans were re-
pulsed.
Berlin reports the capture of three
villeges on the User canal and the
failure of the French attacks In the
Argonne. But the French claim to
have captured a section of a German
trench in that region.
The French admit the loss of some
trenches, previously captured from
these Germans. in the Montnare
Wood.
Details of the latest operations in
the Carpathians are lacking, the Rus
sian official report being largely con-
fined to the defeat two days ago of
the Austrians, in which the Russians
captured a battalion, and the occupa-
ton of several heights near Uzsok
Pass, in which they captured more
than q thousand men.
The sinking of the British steamer
Harylyce in the North sea remains
somewhat of a mystery. The Har-
plyce. which carried gifts from the
American people to the Belgian suf-
ferers. recently arrived at Rotterdam
and discharged her cargo. 1t is I'M
6erstcod she was on her way to New
castle wfler she was either torpedoed
or sunk by mine. More than helf
of her crew of hfty-three were rescu-
Ell. but only meagre details of the
disaster have SO far been made pub
lie It is not known whether the ves-
sel still carried her permit of exemp-
Hon from attack, under the charter Of
NE commission of the relief of Bel
EiUIn.
