JAPAN MAKES MOVE
AGAINST CHINESE
Sends Cruiser and -Four Torpedo Boat
Destroyers to Chin Wang Tao, and
Japanese Soldiers Mount Nine
Cannon in the Suburbs
of Tsinan.

PEKING, May 5.-(5:15 p. MA
Japanese cruiser and four torpedo
boat destroyers have arrived at Chin
Wang-Tao, on the Gulf of Liao-Tung,
about $50 miles east of Peking, evi.
dently for the purpose of removing
from China the members of the Jap.
anese legation.
Consular reports from all parts OF
the country announce the departure
of Japanese or their concentration at
the Japanese consulates.
There is substantial opinion in
Peking that Japan may take action
in regard to the non-acceptance of
the demands without China waiting
upon the issuance of an ultimatum.
The third secretary of the Japanese
legation visited today Asao Yulin, the
vice minister OF foreign affairs, and
intimated that the legation might still
be able to prevent hOstilities. He
asked whether Chinas reply of May
l to the Japanese demands was final.
Tsao Yulin said that he had no in
structions beyond that reply, but af
ter the visit Of the Japanese secre-
tary had ended Tsao Yulin went to
the winter palace, where he saw
President Yuan Shi Kai. Leaving the
winter palace, Tsao Yulin visited the
Japanese legation.
Dispatches received here from Tsin-
an, province of Shantung, report that
Japanese troops have mounted nine
cannon in the suburbs of that city
The Chinese troops, obeying a gen.
eral order from Peking, did not in
terfere.

or the negotiations. In Japanese cir.
c!es 1t is said that this note will, in
the end, be sufficient to secure the
compliance of China with the prin.
cipal demands of Japan.
In these same quarters, however, II
is pointed out that 1t would be too
much to expect the Chinese negotia-
tors to make complete surrender,
without an attempt by President Yuan
Shi kai and his party leaders to elicit
an expression of opinion Of the great
powers interested in China and to Sc
cure moral support from them.
1t was suggested that this idea
might find expression in a note from
President Yuan to Great Britain, the
United States, France and even Ger
many, asserting that the Japanese are
seeking to destroy the integrity of
China and to invade the treaty rights
OF these nations. II the replies re-
ceived are unresponsive to this ap.
peal. or are confined simply to polite
expression of sympathy without prom
lse OF material aid in resisting the
Japanese program, 1t is suggested that
President Yuan may then communi-
cate the result Of his efforts to the
various viceroys of the great Chinese
provinces and declare that he finds It
necessary to submit without the dis
play Of force.
The state department, up to late
today. had received no advices con.
cerning the international situation in
China and whether an uneasiness
was being felt in legation quarters
At Peking are $50 American marines,
commanded by Lieutenant Colonel
Dion Williams, guarding the Ameri-
can legation. At Tien Tsin are the
headquarters OF the First and Third
battalions and machine gun platcons

NEW OPTICAL GLASS IN TOLEDO

a lens which Will cut out the Ultra
Violet and Il good part of the Infra-
Red rays from the optical lens has for
many years been only II dream. Now
1t Is Il reality. Sir William Crookes,
one of the greatest scientists of the
day, II man largely responsible for the
discovery of the X-rays as well as
many other of the wonders of science
spent several years and made over
three hundred different mixtures of
glass in order to perfect Il glass which
would not only cut off the Ultra Violet
and 1nfra-R Red rays, but would do it
without materially cutting down the
Visible Light.
The glass which is the final out
come of his experiments is without
doubt the only glass that will cut out
the Ultra Violet rays, 40 per cent of
the Infra Red rays. and still give 81
per cent of the Visible Light.
In addition to these points of su-
periority. the color of the glass is of
such a nature that the user can wear
it without having the natural color of
objects changed: in fact, no color is
apparent to the wearer, nor is he
made conspicuous by having lenses in
which the color is noticeable to others.
The J. ]. Freeman Co., at 30T Sum-
nit street. are making an introduc-
tory display of the new lens during

OUR FAILURE IN GUAM
We Have to Raise Too Much Money
on the Little Island.

on the Little Island.
There's the devi, and the deep sea
about our uncCmmerclal conquest, and
a big interrogation point at the door
Of the Treasury" This is the terse
way in which Willard French sums
up in the Booklovers Magazine, his in
dlctment of the federal administration
for its failure to look after the people
of Guam. Successive governors, Mr..
French declares, have done their best,
but they cannot accomplish the mir
acle of increasing benefits on decreas-
ing revenue" Under Spanish rule
only one-fifth of the expense of the
government was ever collected in the
island. Four-fifths was always paid
out of the home treasury.
The cost of living in Guam has
been increased eyeral hundred per
cent since the American occupation,
SO that in reality our governors face
the necessity today of raising twenty
five times as much money from the
people of Guam as was ever demand
ed before our fiag was raised. And
this only to meet recurring incident
ais without a thought of schools, SAN
itation, or other desirable innova-
tions."
Some one ought to stir up the auth
critics on this matter or we shall
continue to bear the reproach of being
worse masters than the Spaniards
were, even in their most rapacious
| days.

When cooking one is pt to add too
much salt. If piece of bread is
thrown in it will take up the salt and
can be removed.
Saving School Shoes-Try good
varnish for children's school shoes.
Apply to soles of shoes three or four
coats of varnish, letting each dry be-
fore the next is. applied, and see how
much longer the shoes will last with
out half-soling.
Paste on each bottle or box of pois-
onous drugs strip of sandpaper.
This can be easily distinguished in
