BRITAIN, FRANCE AND RUSSIA
SEEK TO PREVENT FUTURE
JAP-cHINEsE FRICTION.
TOXIC IS NOT YET CONSULTED
Japan's Attitude Not Clear az Yet
Allies Considered Move, as Safe
guard to interests, Essential
Situation Somewhat Acute.

TOXIC, Nov. 2o.--The recent at.
tempted assassination of Chang-Shih-I,
an emissary of President Yuan shi kai
of China, has revealed the existence
Of an assassln's club among the revolu.
tionary Chinese students of Toxic. II
Is alleged the members are solemniy
sworn to take the lives of prominent
workers for the restoration of the mon.
archy.
Washington, Nov. 20.-Great Brit
ain, France and Russia have united in
an effort to add China to the entente
union, In order to prevent possible
friction in the future between Japan
and China and to preserve the peace
of the far east,
IT China agrees to the plan, military
participation In the present war is not
expected.
Negotiations thus far are In con.
versational stage at Picking with no in
dications as to China's attitude.
Although the United States Is be-
ing kept informed, it diplomatic repre-
sentatives at Picking and European
capitols are refraining from partici-
patton.
Subject of Confidential Exchange.
Japan. so far as Is known, has not
yet been consulted, the conversations
thus far having been confined to the
European entente Allies and the Pek-
ing government. II Japan knows of
the plans unofficially, there is nothing
here to indicate what her position
will be.
Although Great Britain, France and
Russia joined Japan in representa-,
tons to China to postpone the es-
adjustment of a monarchy, because it
was thought change during the pre-.
sent disturbed condition of affairs
might provoke revolution and inter-
national complications, this latest step
by the Allies is understood here not
to have been initiated because of the
monarchial situation alone.
The impending change In China's
form OF government has rendered the
situation somewhat acute. Fear of
revolution in China and the possibility
of Japanese interference to preserve
peace have been impressed upon Jap
anse people to ar extent that has at
tracted wide attention among the
European diplomats.

Is coupled in a statement issued by
Attorney General Gregory with an APP
peal to state authorities to be equally
vigorous in dealing with lawlessness
beyond the reach of federal statues.
Information indicating attacks up
on lawful American industries and
commerce through incendiary fires and
explosions in factories, threats to in
timidate employees and other acts OF
violence" says the statement, has
SO often developed during the past
few months as to demand searching
Investigations and prosecutions.
Federal Laws Are Limited.
THE department of justice will con-
tinue unremittingly to investigate all
such acts and prosecute all developed
violations of federal statutes, seeking
indictments under the federal law pro-
hibiting the interstate transportation
Of explosives, the Sherman law, the
law relating to conspiracy to commit
an offense against or to defraud the
United States, and the laws relating
to crimes on ships and on the high
seas.
Because, however, OF our dual form
of government, tho federal criminal
laws are extremely limited In their
scope.
State Officials Must Aid.
1T follows therefore that such at
temrts to injure and destroy Ameri-
can industries must usually be prose
cuted by state authorities.
Il have instructed agents of the de-
partment of justice, whenever they dis
cover evidence of violations of state
criminal laws, to place the evidence
at the disposal of the local state ctfi-
cials; and | assume that such officials
will cooperate in acquainting federal
officers with all information tending
to show the commission of federal
crimes
The non-action of state authorities,
particularly in cases of incendiary
fires has been commented upon here
and officials say there must be close
cooperation between state and fed.
eral officials and labor leaders as well,
before the lawlessness can be sup
pressed.
