ADMIT PRESSURE
EXERTEO ON JAPAN

Washington. March fit is admitted
the beginning of the negotiations be-
tween China and Japan. tn United
States government has quietly been ex-
erting its influence to have the Jap
anese demands ameliorated and to pre-
vent any infringement OF the rights of
America either under treaty or the pro-
visions of general international law.
These representations have been made
in Washington to the Japanese am
bassador as we'll as in Toxic and Pek-
ing.
That the British and Russian ambas-
sailors have served any such notice up
on Japanese as that her future diploma =
tic relations with the two countries
would be jeopardized by her persistence
in certain demands upon China, was
believed to be rather strong state
ment of the facts althouhg the officials
admitted lack of Information.
In the best posted diplomatic quarters
there was no confirmation Of any joint
British Russian representa- lions at Toxic
Of the nature indicated from Picking.
The claim is made that strong int,u-
enccs are at work both at Picking and
Toxic to stir up luminosity between Japan.
Great Britain and the other allies and
there is a disposition among the diplo-
mats of the allied powers to attribute re-
ports of Joint Anglo-Russian representa-
tons as growing out Of feeling adverse
to the allies.
1t was also stated that there had
been no consultation between the Am
erican and British governments re-
gardir1g the effect of the proposed Jap
anese demands upon existing treaty
obligations. 1t Is definitely known that
no steps toward such concurrent ac-
ton have been taken at Washington.
and it is assumed that the same is
true of London.
In various public utterances the Jap
anese government to infringe upon the
existing rights of other nations In
making demands upon China.

BELG|UM DENIES
GERMAN CHARGES
As TO NEUTRALITY

London, March H. $50 p. m.--The Bel
Yian government to-day issued n protest
against the German allegation that docu-
ments found In the archives at Brussels
showed that Belgium had forfeited her
neutrality before the outbreak of the
war. After recoupting the conversations
which took place between the British
and Belgian military officers In 1906 and
1912. which as previously stated by Sir
Edward Grey. the British foreign
minister. had reference only to the
situation that would be created If Bel
gian neutrality had already been
violated the Belgian protest says:
THE Belgian government declares on
its honor that not only was no convert
ton ever made but also that neither
of the two governments ever made any
advances or propositions concerning the
conclusion Of any such convention. More
over. the minister Of Great Britain at
Brussels. who alone could contract on
gagements in her behalf. never intervened
in these conversations and the whole
Belgian ministry are ready to pledge
themselves on oath that no conclusion
arising from these conversations was
over brought before the cabinet or even
laid before one single member OF it.
The documents which the Germans
discovered give evidence Of all this. Their
meaning is perfectly clear provided that
no part Of them Is either garbied or sup
pressed In face OF the calumnies repeated
again and again our government faith
