ers became effective last summer, 81

Will Make Direct Appeal Immediately Upon Receipt
 of Jap Ultimatum.
WAR PREPARATIONS
 ALL THRU JAPAN
Chinese Diplomats Grieve, But Concur in View That China Cannot Further Yield to Japanese Demands With.
 out Civil Strife.

(By Special Correspondent Interna-
 tional News Service and London
 Daily TelegraphD
 Picking, May 5.-I am authorized to say that the Chinese government will make a direct appeal to the United States, Russia and France immediate ly upon receipt of the Japanese u1ti- matum.
 The appeal will be based upon the various treaties and agreements guar anteeing the independence and integ- rity of China. and equal opportunity for all powers.
 Telegrams have been pouring in from every part Of China foreshadow- ing hostilities. The Japanese authori- ties at Antung, New Chwang, Chang Hun, Chefoo and many other centers, are calling in all their reservists. A general mobilization is imminent. The Peking legation has notified all Japanese to prepare to leave oi1 12 hours notice. All the government officers, including the inspectorate general of customs, are receiving warning telegrams. stating that the Japanese are preparing for war.
 The ultimatum is now expected at 1 the latest by Thursday. The Japan ese minister may depart on Friday. 1 Censternation and grief are ob- servable among all diplomats, who concur in the view that China has al- raedy yielded the maximum and that lit would be impossible for her to re- ltain even the fiction of independence l if she made any further surrender. Highest quarters inform me such surrender is out of the question, as the revolutionists who honey-comb the country wold rise at once with the army, thus precipitating the fall or Yuan Shai Kai's government.
 A Japanese cruiser and four tor. pedo boat destroyers have arrived at Chin Wang Tao. on the gulf or Lao Tung, about 15O miles east of Pe. king, evidently for the purpose or removing from China the members or the Japanese legation.

Syracuse, N. Y. May 5.-Scarcely had Theodore Roosevelt resumed the witness stand nthe Barnes -Roose- welt libel action this afternoon than he began a second violent offensive against Barnes.
 Quoting freely from conversa- tion with the man who IS sulng nm for $5O,000 damages. he attributed to Barnes the statement that an agree ment had been entered into between the Republican and Democratic organizations to head eff primary legislation, on the ground that 1t would destroy party government.
 This statement, according to the colonel was made either in the white house or in Oyster Bay, when the witness was president of the limited states. The conversation from which it was taken turned on the Hughes primary bills. Inst in passin, the colonel quoted Rarnes as saying that any organlza- ticn man who "ran our on ,ns leader. wonld ge A?ushed ana llna,iy dumped and eliminated rom po'- tics altogether. ,a .s+s To illustrate, he doupleu Ms hore and landed hard on the a'mosp"ea when he said punched" and he con yerted his hands into moving pa,, p,,, ture of a steam shovel when he sa1'' l dumped" ..
