DEKING, February g. War
II upon China by Japan, unless
the Oriental Republic agrees to
grant the recent demands made
by Toxic, is threatened, according
% the dispatches yesterday re-
ceived by Yuan Shih-kai from the
Chinese minister at Tolio, upon
whom a practical ultimatum has
Leen served.
That Japan is prepared to take
military action to enforce her de-
nIands is the substance Of the min
listers cabled report, which has
created a tremendous stir here.
DEMANDS REASONABLE
Yuan Shih-kai says that some
of the demands made by Japan
will be granted, but those de-
rnands which transgress the ter
ritorial integrity of the Republic
will be resisted.
China, he says, cannot surren-
der any part of her sovereign
right. ,.I
= The original demand inathe con.
troversy that has assumed such
extreme Importance, came from
China, which notified Japan thai
it was about to declare the wal
zone in the Shantung Peninsula
abolished and requested the with,
drawal of the Japanese force:
from all parts Of the peninsul;
except those which had previous
ly been in actual possession Of tn,
Germans, at Kiaochau., ~, =
DISCLAIMER BY JAPAN
Japan's response was a dis
claimer that Japan was in occupa
ton of territory greater than hac
been controlled by Germany, thu
disclaimer being followed by ;
series of demands for trade con
cessions, railroad rights and othe,
privileges. These were seryet
upon China by Minister Helix
who has since conferred frequent
ly with Mr.. Sun, the Chinese min
lister of foreign affairs.

near the first one or within the same
district, then am of the opinion that
no exclusive right of way can be
granted; that you cannot grant right
which in it's nature so resembles an ex-
elusive franchise; further, such grants
would be uuwise, even though you had
the power.
Homesteaders Have Say
Third The question Of granting a
right of way over lands taken up by
h0rlesteadcrs or TO which they have not
yet obtained title is covered in the
first place by the contract between the
government and the homesteader. Some
of the contracts reserve the privilege
in the government for locating certain
rights OF way across them. If the mat
ter is not covered by the contract be-
tween the government and the home.
steader, then the government Of course
'annot interfere with the hOmesteader s
rights to the land. However, if the
lomosteadcr consents and grants a
light Of way, the government, as owner
Vt the legal title, may join in.
No Consent of Land Board Needed
" Fourth-ScctiOn 252, giving the
commissioner of public lands, by and
with the authority of the Governor,
general power to dispose Of public
lands, provides that such power shall

of two thru of the board of public
