CHINA HAS YIELDED.
In spite of the belief which had pre-
vailed in China for many years that
Japan coveted control of the country.
considerable surprise was caused by the
report that Japan intended to issue an
ultimatum to the government as an out
growth of China's refusal to concede all
of Japan's demands. It is contended that
the Chinese have conceded virtually all
the articles contained in the II demands
made upon them and enumerated to the
powers. and a high official said YeSter-
day that it was not believed that Japan
would dare enforce those contained in
group five, which, he said, Japan has
informed Great Britain as well as the
