JAPAN DEMANDS
CONTROL IN CHINA
Intends to Establish Protect
crate Giving Her Supreme
Control Commercially as
Well as Politically.

LONDON. Feb. 19.-Japan has de-
manded of the Chinese government
that she be given completed political
control in China This was learned
from a leading member of the diplo-
matte corps today. He declared that
Japan's final action has the complete
endorsement of the British govern
ment and asserted that Japan intends
to make China a protectorate in
which Japan will have supreme con-
troll commercially as well as political
ly.
The revelation of the real China
Japanese situation is of the utmost
importance to the United States 1t
viii be recalled that four powers par
ticipated in the formation of a syn
dicate to finance China They were
Great Britain. France, Germany and
Austria.
The United States was TO have been
partner in this syndicate through a
banking syndicate, but the termina-
ton of SO-called dollar diplomacy
caused a withdrawal of the official
United States interests, but neverthe-
less large funds were actually sub
scribed by United states financial con-
Germs acting through English bank
ers
J. p. Morgan x CO. and Kuhn,
Loeb x Co. subscribed, il is under
stood, $5O,00O.OOO, of which $16,OOO,-
600 was designed for the development
of Manchuria, Of which Japan de-
mands practically complete posses
sion.
1t is believed here that China has
already appealed To the United States

the rapacity Of Japan and develop
ments are being anXiOusly awaited in

GERMANS BITTER
IN ASSA!LING j. 8.
Berlin Papers Endorse KaiSer'S
Answer to American Note,
CharaCterizing Protest as
Threatening BugabOO.

BERLIN (via Amsterdam), Feb.
19.-GeRnany's reply to the United
States is indoEsed today by all the
British newspapers which also con-
tinue their criticism of American un-
neutrality. This is based upon the
pointed statement by the government
that the allies are being furnished
with weapons and munitions Of war
by American concerns.
Die Post is particularly caustic in
its comment on Americans. saying:
when something does not suit the
Yankees business they are accustom-
ed TO raising as a threatening buga-
boo, as great a sabre-rattling noise
as possible. They cal ,ulate on the
state thus alarmed creeping prompt
ly TO heel. If this effect is not pro-
duced, the yelping pack of Yankees
soon quiets down."
Count Won Reventlow, naval critic
of the T6ges Zeitung, shows more than
his usual bitterness today. He says
in his article that America is trying
to speak TO Germany in an altogether
unsuitable way. She has grown ac-
customed TO dealings with Mexican
pretenders."
Strike Two Allies.
The VOsschihe Zeitung says:
The new German measures on the
sea are directed against two allies of
England. One is the American traffic
in arms; the other is starvation. We
need no American arms to struggle
with the ally starvation. We contest
with a firm consciousness that We
shall pull through even If not a single
grain OF wheat should reach us. while
Great Britain through our blockade
system must experience most severe
damage"
The Lokal Anzeiger comments on
the situation as follows:
FEB. Is was the beginning of a
defensive fight by a people threaten
ed with starvation. A people which
must fight for its existence must and
will push aside all consideration as
10 third parties attitude toward us.
All considerations have already been
pushed aside. The fight we are en-
tering must be fought with all reCk-
lessnesS or not at all.
I'VE Germans are resolved to fight
without regard TO the consequences.
Deep rooted in our people is a
humble conviction that victory lies in
Gods hands. We await the decision
OF Providence. Difficult will be the
fight perhaps, and long also, for the
enemy will not shrink from any means
in order TO Illustrate our efforts

Charles PoWaISki Tries to ES-
cape Handouts by Throwing
Pepper in Officers Face -
Two Others Are Implicated.

When ~. Y. 4" a special fast meat
train of the New York Central lines
stopped in the vicinity of Winkler's
junction early Thursday morning. a
series of thrilling events occurred
which eliminated in the arraignment
Friday morning of what the police
department claims are three of the
cleverest freight Car thieves in north
ern Indiana.
4 revolver battle between Special
officer Shannon and the would-be
robbers, a handful of pepper thrown
in the officers face, the recovery Of
some $300 worth Of meats and the
Implication of several other more or
less disreputable citizens of the west
end are the principal details of the
episode.
When the train pulled To a stop.
Shannon was lying in wait. having had
warning that an attempt would be
made to enter one of the cars. The
sound Of boxes thrown to the ground
caused shannon TO move from his pO-
sition SO that ne could better view
the operation of the thieves. But
they saw him first and attempted 20
escape. The chase led across vacant
fields in the vicinity of the junction.
and when shannon, after the three
men had fired at him twice. shot at
them, one of them fell.
Finds 700 Pounds OF Meat
He was Charles PowalskL shannon
placed the handouts upon him, but
during the struggle, POwalski reached
into a coat pocket and stepping back
quickly. threw a handful of pepper
into the officers face. That means Of
escape, it was said, originated in the
yards of the larger cities, where
battles between crooks and officers
are common.
Scattered along the fence near the
scene the officer found 700 pounds
of meats which had been stolen from
the car In his alleged confession TO
the police department. Charles Pow
alski implicated his brother. Henry
and Antoine SmagielsH in the crime
They were arrested, but pleaded not
guilty To the charges in city court Fri
day morning. Both brothers have
done time for stealing from freight
cars, while Smagielski is at present
on parole for a similar offense.
The Powalski brothers are also ac-
cused of the robbery of a car on last
Friday night. at which time SO worth
of meats were taken. Charles pleaded
guilty 10 that charge also. but Henry
maintained his innocence.
IN Charles Powalski's confession he
declared that a shed at 1912 Liston
ST. had been used as a place of con-
cealment for loot stolen from cars
A search of the premises there by
shannon resulted in the finding OF
nearly 200 pounds Of packed meats.
The cases Of all three men We're
continued until next Thursday morn
ing Bond in each case was fixed at
$500.

The Embusques.

The French papers have been busy
of late with the case of the "em-
busque," which is the name given to
the man who chooses a safe job in
the army. An incident seen last night
on the fringe of Soho suggests that
it is also applied to those who do not
choose the army at all. A couple Of
French soldiers over here on leave
(they were in joyous mood, coming
down side street, passed the kitch-
ems of well-known French restau-
rant. They were attracted by the sight
of the cooks in the kitchens and
studied them attentively through the
grating. Then they began to taunt
them with shouts of "Embusque!" The
harmless necessary French cooks be-
low, startled in this rough way in
their ambush" were furious. There
was an angry Gathering of pots and
pans and an elaborate slanging match
between the cooks and the soldiers.
The language was rich and varied,
and in the storm the sharp word "em-
busque" sounded like bitter refrain
