SAYS THAT JAPAN
THREATENS ACTION
AGAINST China
Republics Minister in Tokyo Re-
ports Menace of Military
Enforcement.

Picking, China, Feb. 8.-Military
action to enforce it's demands upon
China has been threatened by the
Japanese government, according tt
cable message from the Chinese min
lister at Toxic. 1t is believed in OF
fetal circles, however, that the CON-
munication should not be taken too
seriously.
Both public men and newspapers
are urging President Yuan Shi kal
to let Japan seize by force what she
wishes, as China would be unable to
oppose her, but refuse to grant hu'
initiating concessions.
1t is reported that President Yuan
Shi Kai intends to meet some or the
demands, granting japan such con-
cessions as would be given to any
other country, but stubbornly resist
ing any transgression of China's
sovereign rights.
The government is observing ia
pans requirements that secrecy be
maintained in conducting negotia-
lions, as it is desired to give Japan
every opportunity of moderating her
demands without losing prestige.

OFFICIALS REASSUR-
Ed BY THE TEXT OF
GERMAN THREAT
Orders to avoid Violence" to Neu.
trail Ships Relieve Situation
&c., Somewhat.

Washington, D. c., Feb. S.-Pub-
LEGATION yesterday in the press of the
text of the German official memo
randum on zones of safety produced
L profound impression on officials
and diplomats in the national capt.
tai who are still awaiting the offic-
ial text.
AS the memorandum revealed that
German naval commanders had been
given orders to "avoid violence" to
neutral ships, it was regarded as
more reassuring than the brief proc
lamation, though there was some
uneasiness over the suggestion in
the memorandum that efforts to tor
pedo enemy merchant ships might
unintentionally strike neutral ves-
sells.
President Wilson and his cabinet
have come to no decision as to
whether or not there will be any
protest from the United States gov
eminent.
D. It was said some inquiry might be
made to determine what steps are
planned to take off passengers and
crew from enemy merchant ships as
well as neutral vessels, the former
because of the great number of
American citizens accustomed to
travel on belligerent passenger
steamers of Europe.

The Right Way.

There is probably no town in
Iowa where the people are more
prompt in clearing the snow from
sidewalks than they are in Webster
City. 1t is only a few hours after
each storm until the walks in all
parts of the city are cleared. Every
body is on the job and as a result
walking is usually good. This Ia
the right way. It takes no more
work to clean the walks promptly
than to let them go a day or two.
In fact, the snow moves more easily
when it is new than later, when iI
becomes packed.
