SHOULD TRUST WILSON.
Mann Says President Wilson Must
Handle Japanese Situation.

Far eastern affairs were brought
I'D again in the House late THURSDAY
by Representative Hobson, who has
resolutions pending which refer to
the Japanese demands On China.
Republican Leader Mann and
Chairman Flood, Of the foreign af-
fairs committee, both urged that
President Wilson should be left with
a free hand in dealing with the situ-
alton.
"At this time" said Representative
Mann, cit is absolutely necessary that
the House and the people OF the
country place their reliance in the
president of the United States.
"It would be 4 serious thing for
the congress, without all of the in
formation which is available to the
president, to interfere with the for
eign relations of the country.
Woodrow Wilson is president. He
was elected president by the people.
We must trust him il these matters
and we must not endeavor to annoy.

TO SEND NOTES.
Government Intends to Communtcat
With England and Germany.

Drafts Of notes to Great Britain
and Germany-one relative to the
use of the American flag by the Brit
ish liner Lusitania and the other con-
corning the attitude Of the German
navy toward neutral vessels in the
newly prescribed sea zones Of war
were given pers nal consideration by
President Wilson Tuesday, after con-
ferences with Secretary Bryan and
cabinet members.
It is understood that no protest
against any violation Of international
law is to be directed to either coun-
try. The administration view OF the
Lusitania's hosting of the American
flag is that it is a customary war ruse.
But at the same time representations
pointing out that neutral commerce
might suffer through continued prac-
tice Of the stratagem were deemed
advisable.
AS for the German proclamation
that it may be difficult to determine
the character Of a vessel in the war
zones because of misuse Of neutral
flags, the United States intends to
ask for more information as to meth
DDS by which the order will be car
ried out.
It will point out that 1t expects
every effort to be made to verify the
nature of ships flying neutral ags,
assuming that due respect for the
safety Of Americans will be given.

DISCUSSES PLANS.
Wilson and Advisers Consider Cam

President Wilson discussed his
plans for political speeches during
the spring and summer at White
House conference Saturday night
with members Of the executive cam
paign committee Of the National
Democratic committee which outlined
during the day its preparations for
the 1916 campaign.
The question of Mr.. Wilson's own
candidacy, it was said Saturday night.
was not discussed, although it was
agreed that much Of the material for
the campaign would be based on his
record. It was made clear that the
committee would not work for any
particular candidate but for the sue
cess Of whoever IS nominated.
A statement given out by the COM
nittee said the party was in a -four
ishing condition and that "the nation
is entering upon the most prosperous
period in all it's history" It was
stated a decision had been reached to
continue work of the permanent

Charges and counter charges from
Democratic and Republican sources
concerning influences for and against
the government ship purchase bill,
which have smouldered about the cap
itol for weeks, were made the subject
of a special investigation Monday by
the Senate.
The decision to inquire into alleg-
ed lobbying by agents of the "ship-
pig trust" against the bill and into
intimations Of negotiations for op-
tions on belligerent ships to sell to
the government was unanimous. With
the decision departed the last hope of

NOTES DO NOT AGREE
JAPANESE MEMORANDA CONTRA
Diets CHINESE NEWS.
Observers Do Not Believe Nippon De-
mands Will Conflict With United
States Policies.

China has instructed her ministers
in the United States, Great Britain
France and Russia to deliver to those
powers a memorandum OF the de,
mands originally made by Japan fol
concessions and privileges in return
for the restoration of the territory OF
Kiao-Chow, in China.
Kai Flu Shah, the Chinese minister
at Washington, has just presented
the memorandum to the state depart
ment. This contains seven or eight
more demands than those in the
memorandum the japanese foreign
Office, On February gave to foreign
diplomatic representatives.
The belief prevailed in oflciai
quarters that inasmuch as the Chi
nese memorandum antedated ccnsid-
erabIy the statement given the pow
ers by Japan, the latter document
probably constituted the present basis
of negotiations and signified either
that the original demands were only
tentative or that they had been aban-
doned by Japan.
The japanese version confined
Japan's requests to privileges and
concessions in Southern Manchuria,
Inner Mongolia and Shantung, COM
petent American observers believe,
does not conflict with the two policies
to which the United States has been
committed-the principle OF main
tanning the integrity of China and
the "open door" for commercial op-
portunity.
AS for the original version, 1t IS
reported in some quarters that the
japanese also had asked for privi-
leges in certain localities, as the
provinces of Fukian and kiangsi.
Obligations requiring the consent OF
Japan before choosing political, imam
cial or military advisers or the hoat-
ing Of loans were thought, too, to
have referred only to these provisions
and not to the republic of China.
According to the Japanese version,
as given In Japan's memorandum to
the powers, her demands are strict
ed to the territory within her sphere
Of influence" in China.
They are summarized as follows:
In Shantung-China IS not to
ALLEVIATE or lease to another power
part Of the Chanting coast or is
lands; also Japan is to build a spur
Of railway from the main line back
to Piao-Chow up to Chefoo.
In Manchuria and Mongolia
Lease Of the railways acquired from
Russia Is to be extended; also four
requests as to Japanese advisers, in
vestmeot Of capital, foreign conces-
sions, ETC., in these regions.
In Fukien-As this is the province
on the mainland OF China, lying oppo-
site to the Japanese Islands of For
mosa, China is not to cede or to lease
any port or bay in this locality.

SHIP BILL SLUMBERS
DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS
AGREE TO A TRUCE.
Bill VIII be Taken Up Again on Feb
ruary 27-RepubIcans VIII Renew
FilibuSter.

Blocked in their efforts to get a
vote on the House ship purchase bill,
Democratic senators Thursday agreed
to take up appropriation bills and
sent the shipping measure to confer
ence until February q when it must
take its chances of being flibustered
to its death on March 4.
Republican senators entered into
"gentleman's agreement" with Demo
cratic leaders to let the bill go to
conference on condition that appro-
priation measures be passed within
the next ten days, to avoid an extra
session.
The Democrats, it was reported,
agreed to reasonable cut in the
rivers and harbors bill, and the Re-
publicans in turn gave assurances
that they would not filibuster against
any appropriation measures. Demo
Gratis further agreed that when the
ship purchase bill comes out Of con-
ference, the Republicans will be given
an opportunity to renew their fight
against it.
The compact which broke the long
struggle was reached late in the day.
Administration leaders maintained
that it was the best they could hope
for and Republican senators insisted
that the action meant the bill was
dead. All seemed to gree there would
be no extra session.
When the time came to put the
agreement into operation revolving
Democrats and other senators oppcs-
ed letting the bill go to conference
until votes could be had on their
amendments. There was food Of
oratory and many roll calls, and all
amendments were voted down.
Senator Bankhead started the
trouble with an amendment to pro
vide that government ships be admit
ted to coastwise shipping. This was
defeated, 54 to 43, the alignment
which has prevailed for many weeks
breaking up. TWENTY-FIVE Republi-
can senators voted with the admins
tration Democrats and some regular
Democrats Joined with the recalci-
trant Democrats and Progressive Re-
puDlcanS.
Senator Hitchcock then renewed
his amendment to prevent the expor-
tation of munitions of war to bellig-
erents. This was tabled, 81 to 36;
an amendment by Senator O'Gorman
to prohibit purchase Of belligerent
ships was tabled, As to 43; one by
William Alden Smith to create COM
to study the problem of
ocean transportation was tabled, 50
to 81, and one by Senator Poindexter
to prevent government ships plying
between the United States and bellig-
erent ports met a like fate.
Another Poindexter amendment to.
authorize the president to expend
$50, 100000 for construction of ships
in American ship yards and to oper-
ate them outside of the war zone also
was defeated. The Fletcher motion
to send the bill to conference then
prevailed without a dissenting vote.

Americans Negotiate Agreement With

America and Germany are joining

formal treaty with the German and
Austrian authorities providing guar
antees not only that imported food
supplies shall not be requisitioned by
the military authorities, but that all
acquisitions shall cease in occupied
regions. a German committee had be-
gun raising money to buy food for

Guns of greater range and power

The board advised that the old type

equal in range and power to major

Mr.. Garrison recommended tho i'm
