CHINA LOOKS
 FOR INVASION

CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE resources of diplomacy have by no means been exhausted.
 Official informataion received here indicated that the Jaqanese press was clamoring for an ultimatum and that many of the articles that had ap- peared represented correctly the views of the Japanese government. Whether an ultimatum finally would be decided upon by Japan was a mat ter of widie speculation among well informed observers.
 President Wilson early in the day expressed the belief that the situa- tion would soon clarify itself but said he had heard of no ultimatum. He set at rest reports that China had made an appeal to the United States for moral assistance by declaring them unfoundeu

ROOSEVELT AGAIN
 ON THE STAND
PUTS IN MOST OF AFTERNOON CORRECTING HIS PREVIOUS
 TESTIMONY.
Witness Tells Of Deals Agreed on Be tween Republicans and Democrats to Elect United States Senators.

Syracuse, N. Y, May 4.-Theodore Roosevelt again went on the witness stand in the supreme court here to- day after many witnesses, including a son and also former secretary or the late Thomas c. Platt and Frank lin D. Roosevelt, assistant secretary of the navy, had testified in his be- half.
 The former president intended, un- der a new ruling of the court, to offer testimony to show that he harbored no malice for William Barnes It also was his intention to tell about certain things not specified in the pleadings which under the original ruling were excluded. But errors committed in transcribing his testi- mouy under direct and cross-eXamina- ton were pointed out So the c0lonel used up nearly an hour and half of the afternoon session in correcting them. His counsel planned to have him resume the stand in the morning.
 Edward T. Platt son of the former senator produced letters that passed ebtween his father and MT. Barnes in which the printing business and poll tics appeared to be more or less linked In these letters MT Barnes denounced Lemuel E. Qugg who he wrote was interested in 6 contract for legislative printing. He also wrote that he was against the estab- lishment of another printing plant in Albany and complained that Archi- bald Baxter. clerk of the assembly in 1894 wa sabout to deprive him of a legitimate piece of patronage' in the form of printing as punishment for having supported Levi r. Morton for governor.
 In nearly every letter politics or printing or both were discussed The former secretary of Senator Platt was Thomas s. Huff, who said that during 1901, 1902 and 1903 he read every let ter his employer mailed or received The witness said that virtually all the correspondence between MT. Barnes and his employer was in regard to Mir Barnes printing interests in AL bany.'
 Franklin D. Roosevelt was Iin the state senate when a deadlock finally resulted in the election of James A. O'Gorman as United States senator. He said under oath that he had told Mr. Barnes of a conversation with Senator Grady, organization leader, in which the senator said he under stood Mir. Barnes had an agreement with Charles F. Murphy of TammanS Hall that the republicans would hold out for Chauncey M, Depew and thus give the democrats an opportunity to elect Dilliam F. SAeehan, The wit ness added that he had asked Mr. Barnes whether the deadlock could not be ended. Mir. Barnes, he said, replied No, we cant do it now"
 Contrary to the expectation of spec tators and the original plans of coun- sel, Mir Barnes did not go upon the stand.

CARRANzA SEES
 PEACE SHORTLY
PROMISES COUNTRY WILL BE THROWN OPEN TO ALL HON
 EST FOREIGN INVESTORS.
Declares lie Will Do Everything in His Power to Promote American Friendship-To Open Traffic to Mexico City Soon.

Vera Cruz, May 4.-Promises that Mexico, after peace has been se- cured, which he expects will be soon, will be thrown open to all honest for eign investors, and especially that American capital will be welcomed, were made by General Carranza in an authorized interview today. He said he wished to overcome wlat he believed was a growing feeling in the United States that the constitutional. ists are opposed to foreigners. He also announced that he intended to restore railroad traffic to Mexico City as soon as the military opera. tions against General Francisco Villa had ended.
 Seated in his headquarters in the lighthouse overlooking Vera Cruz bay, the first chief of the consttu- tionalists talked at length of the pres ent and future conditions of Mexico.
 The impression seems to prevail in the United States" General Car. ranza said, that the constitutioual- ists are antagonistic toward foreign CTS This is untrue. On the contrary we propose to throw Mexico open to all honest foreign capital as general but more judiciously than was done under President Diaz.
 Recent events such as the defeat of General Villa at important points renew my confidence that the war will soon be ended. Then Mexico will start her reconstruction and will need legitimate foreign help The re- sumption of industry will attract American capital, which will be wei comed and protected
 "I win do everything in my power to promote American friendship Americans would be optimistic over the conditions in Mexico if they could see the situation from this end. The constitutionalists have 70,000 soldiers and Villa less than half this number We constantly are spreading our lines northward, leaving Mexico City to be easily retaken by us at any time"
 fHow soon before you expect to re- store traffic to Mexico City and per init foreigners there to have relief and a chance to resume businesc?' General Carranza was asked.
 Just as csoon as Villa is dr ven rurther-possibly after another Villa defeat, was the reply. Tt is a mat ter of a very snort time. l think there is not a possibility of the revo- lutiou lasting six months longer. As an instance of our progress, l call attention to the fact that We have sent commission to New York to buy three more armed transports, one to assist on the Pacific coast and two for the Gulf of Mexico This commission is due in New York next Sunday Another commission will arrive in New York simultaneously to act on the foreign oil interests
 eIndeed we are taking steps al ready for future foreign and indus trial relations Our hope is that the United States soon will see fit to give us recognition. That will do much to end the war.
 There is every reason why the United States should recognize us, for constitmlonalists' government is the only one which has legal resnon- sibility. Villa and Zapata are leaders of personal ambitions Behind them are the remnants of the old reaction arv struEgling to regain lost power"

London Refrains From Commenting
 on Chino-Japanese Situation.

London, May 5.--4 a. m.-The Lon don morning newspapers still refrain from commenting editorialy on the Chino-Japanese situation. The Daily Mail today prints an interview with Mir Lo. secretary of the Chinese le- gatiou, concerning the report that Japan would issue an ubimatum to China.
 We have been anucIpaung that something would hapg en-" MT. To is quoted as having said, but We did not expect this. We do not think there will be a war between China and Japan, butt there may be if the proposed ultimatum is worded in d certain way. In that case it will have 8. very serious bearing on the Euro 9ean war"

1t is recalled by Charlestonians
travelling on the Arabic, that in the
smoking room of the liner, there
were eleven double stained glass win

ed photograph of an English port on
half of it and on the other half a
likeness of an American port. New

London and Charleston was on the

COTTON IS OFF OVER
FOUR MILLION BALES


Washington, Aug. 3O-The Depart
ment of Agriculture today predicted
that the next cotton crop would be
approximately 100000 bales of
500 pounds gross weight. !,
This prediction was made after the
condition of cotton on August 25 was
estimated by the Bureau of Crop
estimates to be 69.2 and is based on
131,150,00O acres. .... .
The 1914 cotton crop was 1884,
$50 bales, or more than 5000, 900
bales above the official estimate of
the present CROP. d.. ... .,.
The report had a marked bullish
effect on the market, but the rise was
followed by slump at the close.

In southwestern Russia, in the
Brest-Litovsk region, the Austrians

the Russians further into the Pripet

To the northeast and east of the
Prussian frontier, Berlin reports an
advance of the Teutons and the cap
ture of Lipsk, west of Grodno, upon
which the aims of the Germans now

MISSION ON
BORDER FINISHED
CHIEF OF ARMY STAFF HAS RE-
PORTED TO LANSING
CONFERRED WITH VILLA

Washington, Aug. 29-GeneraI
Hugh L. Scott, chief of staff: of the
army, returned to Washington to.
night from the Mexican border
where, for several weeks, he has
been doing special work for the state
department in furtherance of the Pan
American peace plans. He will dis,
cuss the results of his efforts with
Secretary of State Lansing tomor-
row.
General Scott's first mission at the
border was to confer with General
Villa and settle difficulties arising
from the seizure of property of for
eign merchants at Chihuahua. The
general also discussed with Villa the
Pan-American convention proposal,
which Villa has accepted. p
Since that time the nature of Gen
eral Scott's negotiations has not
been disclosed. At one time it was re-
ported he sought to get in communi-
cation with General Obregon, Car
ranza's chief in the field. Obregon
responded to the Pan-American ap-
peal that Carranza's answer would
be his.
No disclosures have been made
here as to the next Pan-American
step. There will be no meeting of
the conferees until Carranza's reply
to the appeal for a convention in neu-
tral territory has been received. The
conferees still believe this response
will be negative one, and that it
probably will urge recognition of the
Carranza government. Carranza's s
agents here say the reply is expected
tomorrow or next day. General
Carranza is expected at the City of
Mexico tonight.
Numerous rumors are being put
afloat, both as to political matters
and military movements. Reports of
dissension of the Carranza faction
are eagerly confirmed by Villa ad-
herents and vice versa. Villa follow
ers today had no doubt of a report
circulated today that some of the
members of Carranza's cabinet had
revolted. Carranza's adherents
secuted reports that Villa had CEN
tralized a fighting force of formida-
BILE size at Torreon to meet General
Obregon's army.

T. R. LIKENED TO GROG
SEEKER BY GARRISON

Washington, Aug 27-Major Gen
eral Leonard Wood replied today to
the rebuke administered him yester-
day by Secretary of War Garrison for
allowing former President Roosevelt
to address the. soldiers at the Platts-
burg, N. Y, military training camp.
His telegram said:
"Your telegram received, and poll
cy laid down will be rigidly adhered
to-"
Secretary Garrison, after making
General Woods reply public, handed
out statement in reply to the an
nouncement made by Colonel Roose-
velt in New York last night. It said
81 have just read Mr.. Roosevelt's
statement. I see he blames the whole
thing on me. He takes the position
that it is notorious that he has the
habit of making indiscrete speeches,
and tnat it therefore was my duty to
find out if he intended to 60 to Platts-
burg, and, if so, head him off and save
him from himself. Well, maybe that
is so. But it's a rather large order.
He is rather active man, and I'm a
very busy one, and it's getting to be a
pretty hard job for me to keep my
eye on him all the time.
"The Colonel's attitude about him
self reminds me of the story of the
Maine farmer who was on the way to
the railroad station one morning when
he met a friend, who asked: Where
are you goin'?' He replied: I'm goin'
down to Bangor to git drunk, and,
great Lord, how I do dread itp"
The incident was believed closed
with the receiving of General Woods
reply. No comment of any kind was
forthcoming from the White House.
1t was indicated there that the mat
ter rested solely with Secretary Gar.
rison. The latter gave out the i'm.
preston that there would be no fur.
ther action.

FINDS LOW WAGES
CAUSE OF UNREST
FRANK P. WALSH SO REPORTS
ON WORK OF FEDERAL
COMMISSION

Kansas City, Mo-, Aug 30-Low
wages was found to be the basic
cause of industrial unrest, in the re.
port which Frank P. Walsh, chairman
of the federal commission on indus
trial relations, and the labor members
of that body will present to congress
as a result of the commissions two
years investigation into the subject.
"The workers of the nation, through
compulsory and oppressive methods,
legal and illegal, are denied the full
product of their TOLL" it was de-
clared in the report, and the result
ing industrial dissatisfaction was
said to have reached proportions
that already menace the social good
will and the peace of the nation" I"
Responsibility for the condition under
which they live was placed primarily
upon the workers themselves, who
"blind to their collective strength and
oftentimes. deaf to the cries of their
followers, have suffered exploitation
and the invasion of their most sacred
rights without resistance"
"The extent and depth of indus
trial unrest can hardly be exaggerat-
ed. State and national conventions
of labor organizations, numbering
many thousands of members, have
cheered the names of leaders impris-
oned for participation in campaign
of violence, conducted as one phrase
of a conflict with organized employ
ers. ....... 49,.
"We call upon our citizenship re-
gardless of politics or economic con-
ditions to. use every means of agita-
ton, all avenues of education and
every department and function of
government to eliminate the injus-
tees exposed by this committee to
the end that each laborer may secure
the whole product of his labor"
