The Chinese acceptance OF the de-
mands is now being prepared under
Japanese supervision.
When the Chinese government
presented the first draft of It's reply
the Japanese plenipotentiaries OBJ
jected to the lengthy explanation
contained in it. The Chinese then
offered brief blanket acceptance
but the Japanese again objected, re-
quiring, instead, a categorical ac-
ceptance, including specific under
taking for future discussion of the
articles of group five. This is the.
group that China declined to consid-
err, and the discussion Of which, with
the acceptance of the demand bear
ing on Fu-Kien province, japan had
suspended in her ultimatum.
The Japanese ultimatum makes
an important point of Japan's in
tention to restore Kiao-Chow to
China. The ultimatum refers to the
sacrifices made by Japan in the cap
ture of Tsing-Tau, but makes no
mention of Great Britain's partici-
patton in this operation or of her al
1y's right to participate in the adj
judication.
With the exception of an unor-
ganized boycott there has been no
movement against the Japanese resi-
dent in China and there is no report
of any attack on the Japanese.
From Dalny comes word that 20,-
600 Japanese refugees with their be-
1ongings, are arriving there. Hong
Kong reports an exodus from Can
ton and other places. Shanghai re-
ports that the Japanese are crowd
ing the settlement and that trade is
at a standstill.

BIRTHDAY PARTY.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
BIRTHDAY PARTY.
Little Miss Eileen jackson,
daughter of Prof. and Mrs. G. l..
Jackson, who reside on Division
street, celebrated her seventh birth
day anniversary yesterday after
number of little boy and girl school
mates were present and spent a jol-
ly time playing games, etc, and a
birthday lunch was served by the
small hostess mother. Many pretty
gifts were given Eileen in remem-
brance of the occasion.
IN HONOR OF GUESTS.
Mrs. Elston F. King entertained
the Six O'clock club in delightful
manner last evening, complimentary
ILL.,, and Miss Grace Hillock, who
recently returned to this city from
Eldora, to make her home. Sixteen
ladies enjoyed the delicious dinner
served in three courses at $50
o'clock, the long table around which
they were seated being attractively
decorated with pink carnations.
The evening hours passed pleasant
ly with "reminiscences. Mrs. Drake
and Miss Hillock have been away
for several years and many inter-
esting and amusing happenings Of
bygone days were related.
The mothers of the two honored
guests, Mrs. Catherine Beerman of
Galesburg, and Mrs. H. G. Hillock of
this city. were present.
ENTERTAINED BY PRESIDENT.
The regular annual business meet
ing of the Literary Round Table was
held last evening at the home of
Mrs. w. S. Weston, the president of
the club, who had extended to it's
members an invitation to what was
presumably six o'clock tea, but
which proved to be veritable ban
quet, served in four courses.
The entire membership, consisting
of fifteen ladies, were present for the
first time since the first meeting of
the year on October S, 1914. The
hostess and guests were seated in the
pleasant dining room, at one long
table, beautifully decorated. The
center piece, large Japanese basket
filled with pink Killarney roses and
white lilacs, the pretty pink candles,
with various other garnitures in
pink, presented picture which the
ladies were loath to mar. The color
scheme of pink was continued
through out the repast.
Following the excellent dinner, to
which all did ample justice. came the
business session, and officers were
elected for the ensuing year as fol-
lows: President, Miss Lillian L. Cros-
ley; vice-president, Mrs. F. A. Boy
sen; secretary, Mrs. w. H. Cook;
treasurer, Mrs. w. J. Zitterell.
The remainder of the evening was
given to the discussion of the subject
of study for the year 1915-1916, the
members deciding that book reviews
should occupy the attention of the
club, a definite program to be pre-
pared later. Mrs. Weston, whose
term of Office does not expire until
October, then appointed committees
to have charge of monthly recrea-
ton meetings during the summer.
An enjoyable letter from Mrs.
Minnie Bone, now of Prosser, Wash
ington, who is a charter member of
the society, was read by Miss Flor
ence Baxter, and cordial welcome
home was extended to Mrs. J. N.
Garth by her club sisters.
The ladies dispersed at late hour
feeling that they had been royalty
entertained by their president.

GERMANY NOT BEHIND HUERTA
Embassy In Washington FIatIy
Denies Plot Charge.

WAsHINGToN, Aug. THE German
Ambassador has formally and officially
denied TO the State Department published
reports concerning the alleged connec-
ton OF the German Embassy with the
Huerta movement regarding Mexico re-
Gently broken up at FL Paso by Federal
authorities. At the request OF the Am
b~assador. the State Department made
public the following statement to-day:
THE German Ambassador has In
formed the Department that he denies
the whole contents OF the story of the
Providence Journal about his alleged re-
lations with Gen. Huerta, and desires
that this statement be given to the press.
As the Department has no information
on the subject, Il regards the expression
OF the Ambassador as satisfactory"
The published reports alleged that the
Germany Embassy. and in particular
Capt. Boy-Ed. Naval Attache. had en-
gineered the attempt OF Huerta and his
associates 10 enter Mexico recently for
the purpose OF heading a courter re-
volution. II was alleged that the Ger
many Embassy lent It's aid 20 this
scheme In order to stir up a COUNTER irri-
tant which would relieve the situation as
regards Germany and the United States.
