British Press Made Uneasy
by Japan's Chinese Policy

LONDON, May 6.-The Daily News
today publishes an editorial article on
the Chinese situation which reads. in
part:
1T would not be easy to parallel
such demands from one power to an
other as Japan has made on China. In
many respects they are more stringent
war, and China has done nothing to in
cur such a penalty. She offered no
menace to Japan, and she wanted only
to enjoy her own liberties In her own
way.
Bitter Tragedy Of War.
"If China had been a military nation
she never would have been thus chai-
lenged She had neither the will nor
the power to take an unfriendly and
irreconcilable course toward her power
full neighbor. and it is grotesque to
suggest that she is responsible for the
crisis.
1T will be the last and the most bit
ter tragedy Of this war il one of it's
consequences be that an unoffending
nation whose Independence and in
tegrity the Anglo-Japanese alliance
has guaranteed is to be despoiled by
one of the signatories of that alliance
Hopes for japanese Moderation.
The Standard in an editorial on the
no-Japanese situation says:
In view of the immensity of British
interests in China it is scarcely pos
sible for the British public to watch
unmovei the rapid developments of a
situation pregnant with all kinds Of
possibilities. We can only hope that
the Japanese councils are inspired as
hitherto. by perfect loyalty to the
spirit as well as to the letter of the
alliance. and that our ally will act with
the good sense and moderation that
have always distinguished their policy. !"

Germans Still Hold
Most of Ground Taken
From British in West

LONDON, May 6.-Although 1t is de-
clared the Germans have lost some OF
the ground they captured yesterday
from the British near Ypres. 1t is con-
ceded that they still hold the greater
part of the territory seized In their
drive. which was materially alded py

cent successes.
Admits German Success.
While claiming that her forces have
recaptured much of the territory taken
from them in the forest of ALLY, Paris
admits that the Germans in night at
tack reoccupied their old position i. a. I
MameIon, which was taken by the
French a few days ago. All the re-
rnainLer of the French gains along the
Fecht have been consolidated and main
tanned, according to Paris.
The German line to the east OF fpres
is within three miles Of the town. The
British press does not seek to deny
or minimize the persistency OF TINS
German offensive. but there is no dis
position to lament the drawing in OF
the British front to the eastward and
the northeastward of Ypres. which was
the only alternative to successful
counter attack. Confidence Is expressed
that the new British alignment Will
prove beneficial in view of the hard
nghting which is expected.
Germans Are Massing.
Nearly all the special news dis
patches from northern France and the
Belgian frontier say the Germans are
massing men for new assault in the
direction OF the French ports. and as
gas now seems to be a regular adjunct
Of the German attacks. the allies ex-

Sees Profit in Jitneys.

From my observation in the cities
named states Nj. Syme, II think that
it is possible and feasible for a light
motor vehicle seating five passengers
to be operated as u jltney at an expense
of not more than three dollars per day
each, which includes the cost Of re-
placement of the car at the end of each
year. and that in cities such as those l
visited three or four hundred cars can
make from six to eight dollars each per
day gross, and perhaps more. l think,
however, that this co t of operation,
and this return from operation is de-
pendent upon the operators of these
cars being permitted to choose their
own route and be their own judge as to
the service which they shall render
The moment an attempt is made to hold
the jitney to prescribed route and
compel it to perform a prescribed serv-
ice for a considerable number of hours
1t ceases to be profit-making opera
tion. The dead mileage would quickly
consume the profit.
THE effect of the competition of the
jitney with the established street cal
service was serious in the cities |
visited. Their encroachment upon the
revenues of the street railway com
panes is, In my judgment. underesti-
mated. Practically all street car lines
charge fiat rate of 5 cents within Il
given radius, which allows rides of
eight or ten miles more. These Ions
five-cent rides can only be given be-
cause the car lines collect also cents
for much shorter rides in congesteu
districts. The short trip passenger
only enables the long trip to be given.
The jitney service comes into direct
competition with the short and only
profitable haul of the street Car com
pany. The street car company is tram
meled with necessary public regula-
tions, imposed for the best interests of
the public. The jitney SO far has been
untrammeled."

uTNEy BUS
ESTABLISHED FACTOR
Conrad H. Syme, Corporation Coun-
sci, Makes Further Report on
His Observations.
Sees Profit in New Transportation
System If Operators Are Not Ham
pered by Regulations.

Supplementing a previous informal
report. Conrad II. Syme, corporation
counsel of the District. has submitted
to the District Commissioners a report
on jitney busses. based upon his recent
observation of the operation of this
new type of carrier in a number of
western cities.
Epitomized. his conclusions are that
the jitney has become an established
factor in modern city transportation
and that any further extension of
street railway tracks in or near the
business section of Washington would
be unwise.
Other observations of the corporation
counsel are that jitneys strike directly
at the short-haul revenues of the street
railway companies and that they must
not be hampered by elaborate restric-
tions if they are to be operated prof
itably.
The report Of Mr.. Syme goes into the
jitney bus situation at length, and will
be given careful consideration by the
Commissioners before they promulgate
rules for local jitney systems In New
Orleans, he says, there are 400 jitneys
and two bus lines. He estimates the
number of jltneys in operation in Los
Angeles as between 500 and 700. There
are about an equal number operating
in San Francisco. The usual Iare is .

without unrest. Our commercial con-
