FEARS JAP DEMANDS ON CHINA WILL HAVE
 GRAVEST RESULTS
Dr. James ". Bashford on Way to United States From China Dis cusses Outcome of Present
 Negotiations

Honolulu, April lS.--Rev. Dr. James ". Bashford, resident bishop in China of the Methodist Episcopal church, who arrived here today on his way to the United States, said he feared demands made upon China by Japan would have grave results if the demands are in reality what the newspapers have re- ported them to be
 Missionaries depend upon the news papers for their information as to the nature of the Japanese demands, he said
 If these demands threaten the integ rity of China, judging from wide ex- perience of the Chinese people. l fear they will result in the graVest conse- duences. Were the Chinese government to submit to them or be overthrown. the history of China in similar crisis. the experience of Japan in Formosa and the present temper of the Cinese, show that many years of into-racial strife would follow the Japanese attempts to control China.
 This would paralyze Chinas indus tries, rob even Japan of all material advantages of her possible overlord- ship and set back civilization in the far east for many generations.
 Japan, however, should be given the benefit of the doubt as to having made such demands until the facts are as- certained"

DENIES PRZEMYSL
 OVERGARRISONED
Austrian Writer Says Officers and Men Pared Alike During Siege.
 Works Were Enlarged

Berlin, April 13.-(Via London, 9:S5 D. m)--Leonard Adelt. correspondent of the Tageblatt. at the Austrian gen eral headquarters, sends to his news paper a denial of charges that Prezemysl, at the time of its capitula tion. was trebly over garrisoned and that officers had had plenty to eat while the men hungered.
 Herr Adelt, who professes to write on the basis of official information. says the garrison during the first siege mum hered S5,000 men. The experience of the first siege, he adds showed not only that the fortress could not have held less men but it also demonstrated the advisability of enlarging the works and increasing eorrespondingly the number of defenders and workmen. This was done between the sieges.
 The soldiers and officers shared the same rations, Adelt says. Neither bread nor cereals were supplied to any one, even the commander General Won Kus- manek. The most painful deprivation Of the men inside the garrison was of smoking materials. This was felt alike by officers and men until supply of raw tobacco leaves was found and worked into cigarettes

BRITISH VESSEL
 IN DARDANELLES

London, April 1f.-d2;o2 a ml--"The British torpedo boat destroyer Renaro entered the Dardaneles Monday on a scouting mission and ran up the straits at high speed for over 10 miles. penetrat- ing the waterway probably farther than any of the British ships have yet done, says Reuters Tenedos correspondent. "A heavy fire was directed at her. but she was not hit.
 'The British battleship London, which followed the Renard into the straits, drew most of the enemys fire. The batteries on the Asiatic side were active, but those on the European side were quiet. Possi- bly, the Tuks have withdrawn part of their artillery on the European side to be able to mass it quickly at any spot the allied armies may choose for landing.
 ''The battery bombarded by the Triumph Saturday apparently is permanently out of action.
 ''The weather is rainy and murky, him dering aerial reconnaissance"
