EXTOL BRITISH EXAMPLE
Local Prohibitionists Praise
Action of King George.

Temperance circles were enthusiastic
Yesterday over the news from England
that King George had volunteered to
give UP alcoholic liquors personally
and to bar them from the royal house
hold.
"The King of England has set the
most notable example in the history of
the world, so far as the temperance
question is concerned" said William
II. Anderson, state superintendent OF
the Anti-Saloon League, of New YORK.
"This is the realization of the doctrine
that every man is his brothers keeper
and the principle laid down by the
Apostle Paul that those who are strong
give up whatever may be an occasion
of stumbling to their weaker brothers.
Revolutions in public sentiment and
REVEALS of conviction on moral ques-
tions have started from less significant
things than this announcement OF HIS
Majesty. The effect in America, COM
ing on top of the momentous happen
ings of the last few months, will be
cumulative, and gives renewed impetus
to the movement for legislation and
the adoption of prohibition throughout
the country" .,
Curtis Lee Laws, editor of "The
Rantist Waterman Examiner" consid-
cred the Kings move as very slgnlh-
cant. "Men of power are beginning TO
feel that they can no longer follow
their own selfish desires. This IS a
splendid spirit that King George has
shown. and it is bound to have strong
effect in his country and ours

RALLIES TO KING
IN LIQUOR FIGHT
Continued from page l

England of all degrees should set an
example to the nation by great,
united act of self-denial. On March IL
Sir Edward published in The Times
n letter he had received from he Arch-
bishop of Canterbury on the subject
The primate wrote: =
"Of course, by the very making o.
my appeal declared my own an an
stinece. but the response, though
considerable, has been less than | nad
hoped for. You think that n the
bishops and the clergy would all az,
stain the effect on the country would
lie immediate and far-reaching.
Doubtful of Success.
az hope you are right, but think
myself that any distinction between
the clergy and the la'ry in such mat
ter is rather unfortunate, and | doubt
whether those whom it is most impor'
tant we should help would be greatly
stirred or even interested by the lac
that the bishops and clergy, q great
proportion of whom are already life
abstainers, were making such prom
Use.
~ think we want drastic legislation
or drastic action on the part OF the au
thorities. to whom emergency leglsla'
ton has given unusual powers. Eng
land ought not TO lag behind her allies
in so great a matter at this solemn
time"
"The Daily News" considers that, in
the light of Lord Kitchener's instant
response to the Kings appeal, the
Archbishop's attitude seems somewhat
half-hearted, and that the clergy, now
they have been given such lead from
the sovereign, will not hesitate to play
an important part in setting the coun-
try an example of personal self-denial

CHINESE YIELD
ANOTHER POINT
TO JAPANESE
Waive Jurisdiction Rights
Over Immigrants in
South ManChuria.
MlkADO CAUTIONED
BY UNITED STATES
American Note Calls Attention
to Three Danger Spots in
the Demands.

Picking, April 1.-The negotiations
between China and Japan on the de-
mands presented by TOXIC were again
saved from disaster to-day by the fact
that the Chinese statesmen made fur
Their concessions TO Japan. The Chinese
offered to waive the question of Chi
nese jurisdiction over japanese immi-
grants TO South Manchuria except in
cases involving land ownership. NJ.
Hioki, Jaapnese Minister, undertook to
submit this proposal to Toxic.
The question of the jurisdiction of
the Hanyehping Mining Company was
not reopened to-day.
Articles IL, III, " and V of Group 3
were presented without any offer of
modification by japan. These articles
provide for the ownership of land by
Japanese in the interior of China; for
the employment of japanese policemen
on certain designated Chinese police
forces; that China purchase munitions
of war from Japan, and that China
grant Japan certain railroad conces-
sons in the eastern portion of the
central part Of the republic.)
The Japanese advanced the argument
that they wished to unity the system
Of arms now used throughout China.
They said also that China would benefit
by an increased number of schools and
hospitals (as provided for in Article
IL and that they were only asking
privileges which other nations now en-
JOY.
Toxic, March 27 delayed in trans
mission) The American governments
note recently sent TO Toxic concern
ing the negotiations between Japan
and China dwelt at length and in par
ticular, according to reliable informa-
ton, on three points in the demands
made by Japan and China. These con-
cerned the selection of foreign advisers
by China. the purchase of munitions
Of war by the Chinese government and
the question Of foreign loans.
The Washington government, ii is
understood, submitted that if Japan in
sisted on the right to be consulted by
China in the selection of foreign ad-
visers it might be a violation Of the
sovereignty Of China.
1t was further contended that If
Japan insisted on the purchase by
China of munitions of war in Japan
and that she be consulted with regard
TO certain foreign loans in the Province
Of Fukien. in South Manchuria and in
Eastern Mongolia, this course might be
violation of the principle of equal
opportunity stipulated in the agree
ment reached between Baron Takahira
when Minister TO the United States
and Elihu Root, then Secretary Of
State. That agreement provided for
maintaining the independence and in
tegrity of China and the equality of
commercial opportunity in that coun-

Washington, April /. Modification of
Japan's demands on China to meet the
representations of the United States
or any Of the powers affected by the
proposed agreement, it is expected by
American officials, will allay the seri-
BUSINESS Of at least one phase Of the
Oriental complication.
1t is known here that the Chinese
government is working toward two
endJ-to eliminate from the proposed
agreement with Japan everything af-

was when he took to Berlin the first
four cars for the wounded which his

was to exhibit them TO the War ONCE.
Owing TO the great number of troop
trains passing over the railway lines
these days it was quicker to take the
cars from Aachen TO Berlin by auto
mobile than to load them into freight
trains and take them by railway.
So we coupled the four little cars to

wanted an American to see in an init
