SAYS TOKYO SEEKS
HARMONY IN CHINA
Japanese Envoy Here Supple
ments Statement Denying
Aid Was Given Either Side.

Yuan Shi Kai has many enemies in
China. and II he ascends the throne at
this time they may use II as a pretext to
start a revolution.
This was given by an official OF the
Japanese embassy today as reason
for Japan's interest in the reported
change I'm the form of Chinas govern
ment at this time, Coincident with the
Issuance of written statement In
which the Japanese foreign office offi-
cially denies aiding either side in the
Chinese situation.
Rcferring to JaDan's participation in
advice recently given Yuan Shi kai to
postpone any change i'm China's govern
ment, the statement says:
Denies Arms Shipments.
1.-THE advice was dictated by the sim
plest and purest of motives, that is. to
avoid particularly at this time any un-
toward development in the far East
which might add one more disturbing
element to the already complicat led
world situation. Nothing more nor less.
THE japanese embassy has received
from Tokyo a able dispatch which au-
thorizes it to state that from no quar-
ter in Japan have arms been supplied
or assistance in any form been given to
the revolutionary clements in China, nor
has any instigation been attempted. The
allegations that Japan is being used as
q base of activities by Sun Yat-Sen and
tHHI lnP JdpdDeSe ale aCtlNelN Cooper
ating with him are equally unfounded
and untrue, to the best knowledge Of
the Japanese government, which is taxi
ing every measure of precaution against
such attempts.
THE reports such as that the Jap
anese consul general at Shanghai cabled
to Tokyo on December /, saying that
the monarchical movement would sue
ceed II something were not done quick
~, or that the Japanese warships are
being rushed to Shanghai can only be
characterized as wild and hardly merit
refutation.
Revolt Easily Fomented.
You notice that only a postponement
OF any change was asked by Japan"
said the official Japan feels that
China's government is Chna's own
business, but wants any disturbance
there now avoided on account of the
European situation. There has long
been big revolutionary party in
China. The so-called revolution that re-
suited in the overthrow of the Manchu
dynasty started merely as brawl
among a group of discharged soldiers.

whole thing was farce.

Bring Our Daddy Job,'

Christmas Appeals Pouring Into Times Office Would
Tax Efforts of an Aladdin-Girls Want Dolls
While Boys Favor S.---.

Have you ever thought about all the
things the Riddles would want IL some
Aladdin were to come forth from a
Bagdad tomb and stalk through the
streets of Washington rubbing his lamp
for every little waif who brought to him
a desire unfuflled?
If you have--and i'm the absence OF a

Claus letters which are still pouring into
The Times office; for after all the pa
trono saint of Christmas Is a kind elder
ly brother from the frozen North to the
Bagdad youth of Schazerade's story.
And why? Because both Aladdin and
Santa in the unspoiled credulity OF
childhood, have the marvellous power of
granting anything that one might wish.
And so the Santa Claus letters are
pretty good indication as to just what
the tiny boy and girl nova days dreams
about and wishes for and hopes will be
found in his stocking, or near by it. on
Christmas morning.
And Notions Passing Strange.
And all the time the queerest little
quirks and twists of kiddie-character
are constantly cropping up from the
rudely scrawied pages OF the Santa
Claus letters. You might think that
would please any little shaver; and that
doll and baby carriage and a set of
tov dishes would be. all that little
mothers" heart could desire. But, as
In most cases where children are con-
cerned, you would be badly fooled.
Would you for instance dream that
there was ever little boy aliVe-a
normal little boy who loves toys and
games and candy and oranges and nuts
would ask Santa Claus just to bring
his Daddy job?
To the letter is signed his name and
that of his two little sisters. Here 1t
I'VE are three little children, but
don't believe Santa Claus will come to
see us. Papa hasn't any work. We

This letter was one OF three all OF

"buddies.' every one OF whom asks

years OF its existence will total about two and
One-quarter billion dollars-twenty-two humid
red and fifty million dolars-a sum that the
human mind cannot grasp.
Only a few years ago it was a matter of
amazement to the whole country that Con-
gress could take from the National Treasury
a Billion dollars, but today Billion dollar
session Of Congress attracts only passing at
tentiOn.
When you stop to consider how appropria-
tlons have increased during the past twenty
five years, you wonder what will be the in
crease during the next twenty-five years-you
wonder if the people will be forced to pour
more and more taxes into the treasury every
year for Congress to dish out, or whether they
Will realize to what extent they are being
ground down, and call halt on their repre-
sentatives?
And the two and one-quarter Billion dol
lars does not represent all that the Sixty third
Congress intended to spend, for some of the
bills carrying big appropriations were lost
during the confusion of the closing hours Of
the session.
Elected upon platform pledging rigid
economy in the expenditure of government
funds, Congress made record for lOoting the
treasury.
One of the main campaign slogans against
the Republicans was their wasting the peoples
money, which the Democrats were to stop and
save us from bankruptcy, but they have
wasted more than ever the Republicans did.

Already we have in the shape of extra taxes

The claim that the Democrats tried to add
