Pekin. China, Feb. 25.-The outlook
for an adjustment of the differences
which have arisen between China and
Japan has improved distinctly The
conference between representatives Of the
two nations apparently are progressing
toward q compromise.
The most important step yet taken
in this direction was disclosed today
The Japanese government has given
indications which are regarded as def
mite that il will not insist for the pres

here ground for hope that a concilia-
tory spirit will be adopted by Great
Britain.
It can be stated authoritatively that
in the American communication made
identicaIly to Germany and Great
britain. no mention was made by the
United States of what course it would
pursue IN the event of rejection of its
proposals. The United States assuIn-
ed rather the role of mediator in an
effort secretly for the present to
reach an agreement without the en-
barrassment Of public discussion in the
belhgcrent countries. where passions
were thought likely to stimulate in
fuences that would defeat impartial
consideration Of questions involved.
High officials Of the Washington gov
eminent have shown much solicitude
over what might be the extent of retail
iatory measures adopted by the belliger-
ents if they continue to disregard pre-
viously accepted principles of interna-
tional law. 1t is understood that one of
the arguments used is that If the policy
of starvation is put into effect by Great
Britain the first to feel the pinch of hun
ger might be the British, French and
Russian prisoners. Another suggestion
said to have been conveyed is that suf-
fering forced upon the civilian population
of Germany might produce an unwhole-
some effect on the attitude of the Ameri-
can people and her allies. There is every
evidence that neutral governments are
working in close harmony with the
Washington government and have man.

Washington, Feb. 25-The United

formally to Great Britain and Ger
