Military Ambition Shown In Her
Demands Concerning the
Shantung Region.
SUMMARY OF THE SITUATION
Iron, Military Advisers, Arsenals,
and Munitions Feature Me-
gotiations.
By OSCAR KING DAVIS.

PEKING. April 8o.-Japan's justifI-
cation for her demands upon China is
that the concessions she requires from
her pudgy and impotent neighbor are
necessary for her own natural and
proper economic development.
:. In the desire to achieve that develop
ment all the world will sympathize with
her. and some of the world no doubt
would be willing to assist If 1t were Ger
tain that conditions were all right.
Japan's economic necessity is perfect
ly obvious. 1t is easy to see and to ap-
preciate. But large and disconcerting
question insists upon projecting itself
into tho pathway of the measures she
has taken in China to find relief from
that necessity. That question Is:
why is 1t essential for japan to at
tain military and political domination Of
China in order to secure economic re-
lief1"
Extent of Demands.
It may not be quite as obvious to the
rest Of the world that Japan Is really
seeking military and political domina-
tion of China as it is that she labors
under tremendous economic pressure at
home.
From the Peking point of view the
belief Is inescapable that something
more than the mere immediate fate Of
China is at stake. Here is the scrap
of paper" issue brought to focus, and
a mighty sharp focus at that.
Whatever doubt there may be about
the real meaning and motive of Japan,
there can be absolutely no doubt about
the manner in which the good faith of
the United States. Great Britain,
France. Russia and Germany is in
volved.
The treaties and agreements cover
ing the case run back a good many
years.
They prove that the United States
has been bound. ever since 1900, to CO.
operate with practically all the world
powers fer the preservation of the in
dependence and territorial integrity of
China and for the maintenance Of the
Opportunity for the commerce and indus .
try of all nations here.
Japan was one of the powers that en-
tered into that agreement with the
United States. This is a fact of para
constantly in mind in any consideration
of this situation.
Shantung Situation.
The demands upon China submitted by
Japan on January IS were divided into
five groups, or sections. The first sec
tion consisted Of four paragraphs, all
relating to the province of Shantung-
that province where Germany had ef-
fected lodsment from which Japan
had driven her as an episode of the
present war
The Shantung section Of the de-
mands was headed by a preamble which
gave as the basis of Japan's action her
desire to maintain the general peace of
eastern Asia and further strengthen the
friendly relations and good neighbor-
hood" existing between her and China
Thereupon she demanded: First, that
The Washington times., 1915-06-16

China should surrender to her all the
| rights, interests, and concessions pos
| sessed by Germany in Shantung; sec
any part of Shantung, its coast or is
lands off the coast, to any third power
under any pretext whatever (Nothing
was said about nonalienation of such
consent to Japan,s building a railway
from Chefoo or Lungkow to join the
road from Kiao-Chow to Tsinanfu. the
capital of the province. and. fourth,
that China agree to open certain cities
and towns as commercial ports.
These four demands are the mildest
of the entire list of twenty-one, and on
casual reading do not seem to invade
greatly either the independence or the
territorial integrity Of China AS to the
open door and the principle Of equal
opportunity for the commerce and trade
| OF all nations, that Is decidedly different

are conceded.
Commercial Advantage.
Take the matter Of customs. for
example, in it's APPLICATION to goods
shipped into Manchuria over the jap
anese railways. Suppose it be con-
ceeded that the Japanese railways in
roads. and not, maintained for rea-
sons OF military strategy. as is stout
~ contended by many persons out
here.
Japan unearthed an old treaty by
which China, years ago. had bound
herself to grant customs rebate In
order to assist the construction of a
railroad in Yunnan. the southwestern
province. whence trade from Burma
entered her territory.
Japan demanded and secured the
application of that treaty to her
roads in Manchuria. The reduction
| in duty is only 3 per cent. but It Is a
com Portable business margin. Traffic
! originating in japan and going over
| the Japanese railways into Manchuria
| secures this advantage. Foreign and
| domestic goods alike secure 1t. But
! Japanese duty in order to get into
Japan,
The practical result is that all Jap.
anese goods sold in Manchuria start
with 8 per cent advantage over all
competitors. japanese domination In
there. That may not be an invasion OF
Chinese independence or integrity. but
| 1t certainly does invade the open door
and equal opportunity agreements, and
how about the status quo?
Come now to section II Of the de-
| mands. 1t contains seven articles, one
of which has two divisions. All relate
TO South Manchuria and eastern Inner
Mongolia. 1t Is to be remembered that
all the treaties and other agreements
previously cited bear just as much up
on South Manchuria and eastern Inner
| and the rest of China.
These demands are: First. that the
lease Of Port Arthur and Dalny, taken
| over from Russia at the close of the
| war Of ten years ago. and the lease OF
the South Manchurian and Antung.

 Two of the latter, as pictured here, are good examples of the success of black and white in entire coverings for parasols.
 In the black one at the left of the picture, the bands of white silk are let in with hemstitching in heavy white silk. It adds immensely to the attraction of the bands
 The parasol of black-and-white stripe bordered with plain black prob. ably stands at the head of the list of popular favorites. It looks we'll with any costume and is as sparkling as the summer sunshine.
 It is a good idea to try the effect of colored silk in the complexion be. fore making a choice of one. But white or black and white are safe they always throw a pretty light upon the skin.

MAY BE TRACED TO TARIFF
American Manufacturers Who Cheat. ed on Army Contracts Got the
 Habit Under Protective System.

Those American manufacturers who have been cheating the French gov ernment on army contracts for shoes, delivery proved to be rotten, and fol stockings which were to be 70 per cent wool and 30 per cent cotton and proved to be the other way round. are taken severely to task by the Dry Goods Economist. They are denounced as traitors in our own camp" They have "besmirche l the honor of Made in U. S. A. merchandise" at a time when every effort is being made tc give the label a prestige which will weigh in all outside markets.
 There is justice in this indignation There is also an element of injus. tice. What these manufacturers have been doing to the French army they have been doing to the American peo pl, time out of mind. It has become an ingrained habit. They have been encouraged in this by their own gov. ernment and commonly by majority of voters. The national power of tax ation has been used to stimulate them in the hidden substitution of cotton for wool, pasteboard for leather, shod. dies for honest material.
 This national policy in cultivation oi manufacturing helpfulness and false pretension has now been reversed i; yet old habits are hard to shake off The Dry Goods Economist is right ly appalled, by this noisy international advertisement of the tariff-fostereG shoddy habit at so inopportune 8 time. But does anybody suppose American industry is to be rid of it through the restoration of a public policy which has been responsible?

angora collar shown here is finished with an ermine tail and head, and ties of ribbon.
 The ostrich boa in white and black, in all white, or in white with color matching the suit, cannot be said to take second place, although it followed the neckpiece of fur in popular favor.' Just now it is in more general de- mand than any other and heads the list of favorite neckpieces. The new est ostrich boas are short and finished with long tassels of narrow silk braid. Nestling in the long and dainty fbers are beautiful millinery roses in 8 small cluster, or a single rose and bud shows off to wonderful advantage so placed. These ruffs are fastened with tassels hanging at the back. Occa- sionally a short neckpiece of white marabou is seen, but the longer flue of the ostrich makes 1t the favorite.
 Besides furs and feathers there are the collars of malines and nets made in variety so great that everyone may be suited.

FRIENDS OF THE RICH
Republicans Now, as Ever, Seek
 Prosperity for the Few.
Willing to Let the Manufacturer Rob the People With an Extortion- ate Tariff and Dole Out
 Pittance for Labor.

Nationally the Republican party is like the bronze statue of Louis XVI in the Tuileries, without heart or bowels. MT. Taft and Rev. John Wes- ley Hill are walking backward over the country, MT. Taft going from col lege to college, Rev. MT. Hill from state organization to commercial club. and each telling their audiences that the sun may be expected to rise in the west day after tomorrow.
 As for today, they are deploring and viewing with alarm. During the early spring, Jim Watson of Indiana and Senator Weeks of Massachusetts strolled up and down the continent deplor1ng the decay of free institu. tions and promising return of the pot pie of the fathers. None of these gentlemen had anything to offer in the way of solution for unemployment, excepting a high tariff, which will let the manufacturer rob the people with an extortionate tariff and divide the crumbs from their table with labor. If any of them Jaw anything in the way of the negotiable distribu. ton of our national wealth, he was silent about 1t. The spectacle did not disturb him.
 To these men and to all the leaders in the Republican party today, the problem of the people is not the dis. tribution of wealth, but it's accumula. tion. They are friends first of all of the accumulators. The Republican party as 1t stands today is exhibiting no vestige of interest in anything but the accumulation of wealth; prosper. ity rather than justice is the Repub' ican aim. Property is it's god. Tc own, to control, to have and to hold these are Republican ideals. To give, to serve, to broaden life and glad. den living-these in the composite Republican mind are things of the child. They have been put away along with the Progressive leadership that passed out of the party in 1912.-Wil. liam Allen White in the Metropolitan Magazine.

BE KINDER TO YOURSELF
Women Are Often Victims of Nervous ness Because They Don't Know
 How to Relax.

One of the important things to know in life. especially If you are a woman, Is how to let yourself alone, writes Mary Carolyn Davies in the Mothers Magazine. The ability to relax, the art of being judiciously lazy, the tact to let herself alone has saved many a woman from nervous breakdown. We all know the housewife who nags herself into such a state of conscien- tiousness that she cannot rest. If she lies down she is continually worrying herself with thoughts of the work that she is neglecting.
 Much of the blame for this state of affairs lies at the doors of the moth CTS. The mistake is in their training of their children, especially their daughters. They are taught from ear Hest infancy to be kind to others, to bear with them, to forgive them, to help them; but from birth to death no one ever tells them to be kind, also, to themselves.
 The woman who nags herself can make herself more miserable than any, one else possibly could. She can make her life more of nightmare than any misfortune could possibly make it. If such women could learn to be kinder to themselves there is no doubt that their own lives would be heightened; ; and not only that, but the lives of those with whom they come in close contact would be made far more pleas. ant

Just how 1t happened is one of those things that cannot be explained, but in this year of grace May and June beheld the summer girl (and the matron) bedecking themselves with light neckpieces of fur.

As varied as the flowers of the field, and as gay, your parasol this season may be of any shape or color you choose. If you incline to plain one- color design, then select one of the ,new shapes-a pagoda parasol or one yof those fiat. Chinese-looking affairs
 These shapes and the small um- brella style, like those shown in the picture, are displayed in the shops in green, cerise, blue, tan, and other colors, banded with black-and- white stripes or with Dresden designs in lowered borders. Black-and-white checkerboard silks have been used with fine effect on both white and Solored models. Vivid green, bordered Z with black-and-white stripes, and a darker green with wide band of Dresden ribbon inserted, are among the most attractive and the most use full designs and have been almost as successful as the various black-and-
