OPEN DOOR IN CHINA.
United States and Great Britain
Make no Change in Policy.

While declining to discuss in de-
tail the American policy toward the
Japanese-C Chinese negotiations, Secre-
tary Bryan said Tuesday the United
States government still stood firmly
on the announcement made at the
beginning of the Wilson administra-
ton of its purpose to support the pol
icy Of the open door and freedom of
commercial opportunity in the far
East.
From Sir Edward Grey's state
ment Of a similar character in the
British parliament, officials believe
that Great Britain's position has IN
dergone no change and that the prin-
ciple of the open door will continue
to be the aim of the powers.
The Japanese government has
given assurances that it is not its pur-
pose to violate either the open door
policy or China's territorial integrity.
How far it's present demands on
China may be considered as infrins-
ing on these principles can be answer
ed only by & knowledge of details OF
the negotiations, something officials
are unwilling to discuss because OF
the Injunction Of secrecy placed on
the matter by the japanese govern
ment.
Officials appear optimistic over the
progress of the negotiations, indicat-
ing a belief that the difficulties at
Peking may be adjusted satisfactorily
without requiring further diplomatic
correspondence between the United
States and japan.

SHOT BY STRANGE MAN
THREE MEN AT GRESHAM STIR
Up MUCH SUSPICION.
When Citizens Go to Investigate
Their Presence They Are Fired
Upon and One is Hit.

Late Wednesday afternoon Mr..
Whaley, young white man, and two
friends of Marion noticed that three
men were concealed in the bushes
near the railway at Gresham, on the
North and South Carolina Railroad,
in this county.
Aiming themselves, the three citi-
zens went out to investigate, two go
ing in one direction and Mr.. Whaley
in the other. The letter was the first
to come upon the suspects, and when
he asked them what they were doing
around there, they replied, ATTEND
ing to our own business and you had
better leave"
After this remark they began to
walk away into the woods, and Mr..
Whaley followed them to, a wire
fence, which the suspects crossed. AS
Mr.. Whaley started to cross the fence
the larger of the three men told him
not to come any further, but Mr..
Whaley continued to climb.
The large man raised his pistol
and shot yr Whaley in the abdo-
men, inflicting a serious wound. Mr..
Whaley's companions, hearing the
shot, rushed to the scene and found
MIR. Whaley, but the men had disap-
peared into a swamp. Friends phon-
ed to Marion for Sheriff Dazier, who
left for the scene promptly, taking
Rural Officer Davis with him.
They began an all-night chase, be-
ginning at Gresham, where the
strangers got back on the railroad,
which they followed to Mullins. At
the latter place the sheriff found that
the men wanted had just passed
Smithboro, headed for Dillon, and
were concealed in a box car. Dillon
was advised to be on the lookout, but
when Sheriff Dozie: reached Dillon it
was found that the n. and G. freight,
upon which the men reached Dillon,
arrived there Just at the time a north
bound freight on the Atlantic Coast
Line pulled in, and the suspects
quickly changed trains and made q
getaway.
Mr.. Whaley, in speaking of the ap-
pearance of the men, said that two Of
them were white, one q large man
and the other :. small man, and that
the third party was negro. One of
the trio carried bag, which appear
ed to be partially filed with tooks,
this latter fact giving cause for the
belief that the men were yeggs.

other big effort, which shows they
are not content to rely on passive
policy.
1t is believed that half million
new German troops have reached
Flanders and that more guns and
material are to be used than were
provided for the original attempts to
destroy the allied armies in the west
attempts which met with failure
both in August and in October.
Londo nreports: The Germans are
bringing up troops in. Flanders to
press the attack. which at the begin
ming has forced the allied back to the
User canal, north of Ypres.
This movement, according to re-
ports reaching Holland, has assumed
even greater dimensions than those
which preceded the battle that ragged
for more than two weeks in the same
region last October. On that occa-
sion the operations ended in the dis
comfture of the Germans, who had
declared their intention of pushing
their way through to Calais.
While the attack originally met
with considerable success, due, ac-
cording to the allies reports, to the
use by the Germans of asphyxiating
gas, it is said already to have been
checked. The Canadians. who held
Ethe extreme left OF the British line
Eand were forced to retire when the
}Temained Of the front was pressed
back, made a brilliant counter at
tack regaining most of the ground
which they had conceded and retak-
ing four guns which they had left in
the hands of the Germans. In the
words of Sir John French, they saT-
dthe situation.
The British report does not say
how much ground they recovered. but
the statement in the Berlin Official
report that a British attack at st.
Julien was repulsed shows they are
we'll back in their old positions. for
that town, which is on the main road
| between Ypres and Poelcapelle, is
| Immediately south Of Langemarck,
| whence the German attack was
launched.
The Germans. however, maintain
their hold on the User canal further
north, for they speak of storming
| Lizerne. which is across the canal be-
tween the towns of Steelstraate and
Hetsat. which they took in their first
rush. The German attack south OF
| Ypres. which was made ismultane-
ously with that to the north, appar'
entity has failed entirely.
These attacks are believed to be
the beginning OF another battle
which, with both sides strongly en-
trenched, promises to be one of the
I bloodiest and most bitter Of the war

POWER OF STATION Is TREBLD
Power of Wireless at SayviIle, L. l.,
is Increased.

TO insure wireless communication
between Germany and the United
States under all kinds Of static con-
ditions, the power of the Telefunken
wireless station at Sayville, L. l.. has
been almost trebled. Through this
plant the German governments trans
mits most of it's official communica-
tions to the United States govern
ment and the German embassy COM
municates with Berlin. Many Of the
official war bulletins from the Ger
man capital are received at the Say
vile station.
The electric plant has been in
creased from 35 kilowats 100 kilo-
watts. Three 500 foot towers 10 sup
port the wireless aerials are at Say
vile ready to be placed in position
and it is expected that before the end
of next week the new and powerful
apparatus will be in operation.

GOODS CAN GO TO HOLLAND
British and Dutch Have Eliminated
Germany.

Arrangements have been made be-
tween the British and Dutch govern
ments whereby through enbargoes
and other measures, possibility OF
supplies reaching Holland by water
being trans-shipped to Germany is
eliminated.
Official notice was given Wednes-
day that not only conditional contra
band, such as food supplies, but even
goods on the contraband list OF the
British government may be given
safe passage to Holland through the
blockade lines. The British embassy
issued this statement. =
"1. Shipments Of wheat, wheat
flour, and meal, destined for con-
sumption in Holland should be con-
signed to the Netherlands govern
ment.
"2. Shipments Of all other articles
on the British contraband lists des-
tined for consumption in Holland
should be consigned to the Neither
lands Overseas Trust.
/ "3. The Observation-Disclosures, the
Royal Holland Lloyd, and the Royal
Steamship company have Instructed
their agents that shipments OF cocoa,
coffee and tobacco must also be con-
signed to the Netherlands Overseas

POLES IN DIRE NEED
Seven Million People Face Danger
Of Famine.

Seven million Poles, OF whom two
million are Jews, are in dire need OF
food, according to a statement Thurs
day by Hermann Laundau, proml-
nent Jewish philanthropist associated
with Jewish charities in London.
"The Jews are even poorer than
the Gentiles," Mr. Laundau said, be
cause of the boycott against the jews
in parts of Poland before the begin
ming of the war.
"In parts of Poland evacuated oy
the Germans many Jews are living on
potato peelings and garbage LETT by
the army. The Catholic population
has been able to Yee beyond Warsaw
in much larger numbers than the
Jews.
"The citizens committee at war
saw is the only large agency LOT al
fording relief for refugees.
"Where relief is provided lot tne
Poles the daily allowance to each per-
son is only four cents, which is bare
" enough to keep the people alive IN
a. country where prices are high. 1t
is difficult to obtain food at any

VILLA FORCES BEATEN
CAROTHERS CONFIRMS REPORT
OF SIGNAL DEFEAT.
villa Retreats From rapuato, Max
ing Desperate Effort to Rally Army
at Aguascalientes.

Official confirmation OF the report
of the defeat of Gen. Francisco Villa
by the Constitutionalists commanded
by Gen. Alvaro Obregon in the battle
Of Celaya reached the state depart
ment in q dispatch received from
Geo. C. Carothers, the special agent
Of tie United States, who has been
attached to Villas military headquar-
ters. Carothers said that Villa had
lost 5000 men.
Villa made three assaults upon the
Obregon forces at Celaya in an effort
to capture that city and crush the
main army Of the Constitutlonalists.
Repulsed with heavy losses, he fell
back northward on the main rail line
to his headquarters at Irapuato on
Saturday, and his forces began re-
treating from Irapuato to Aguascali-
entes. Mr.. Carothers fed to Aguas-
calientes on Saturday with the van
guard Of the retreating Villistats.
Villa is making a desperats effort
to rally his forces against the Victori-
Gus advance of Obregon's army to-
ward the north. Villista forces en-
gagged in the attacks on Ma .moras,
Nuevo Laredo and Tampico have been
called for and are being rushed to-
ward .Aguascalientes in the hope that
they may enat!e him to stem the tide.
Villa Is greatly in need OF men and
ammunition.
The defeat of the northern chief
tain is believed to be even worse than
It is pictured by Carothers, who has
been so friendly toward the cause Of
Villa that he has been slow to report
his reVerses.
Here is Secretary Bryan's an
nouncement Of the summary OF Ca
rothers' confirmation OF the repulse
of Villa:
ut is reported from Ag1ascalien-
tes, under date of April H. that the
third assault by Villa on Celaya on
the t4th to 18th was repulsed with
great loss to the Villa forces.
"It is stated that Villa fell back to
Irapuato, and that Obregon remained
in Celaya. The estimated Villa losses
up to the 18th were 5000 men. OBJ
regon's losses are unknown. Further
advices, dated the 18th from Aguas-
calientes, state that four trains OF
Villa soldiers have arrived from the
south with six cannon, apparently in
dicating a retreat on the part Of the
Villa forces around Irapuato. These
troop trains arrived at Aguascalien-
tes on the morning OF the 18th" ="

UP TO GOVERNOR.
Franks Lawyers Admit Pardon Alone
Can Save Their Client.

Whether Gov John M. Slaton or
Gov. Nst E. Harris of Georgia will
be called on to pass on the Leo Frank
case seems to bo uncertain, owing to
the fact that probable action by the
prison board will fail, in greatest
about at, the time in juno
when the present governor goes out
and tho new governor comes in.
A few days delsy in ono direction,
or unexpected expedition in the other,
could put it up to Gov. Slaton, or
could carry it over to be decided by
Gov. Harris, end 2. scanning OF the
closeness Of possible dates leaves the
matter in a complete state of uncer-
tainty.
In the meantime, Leo Frank is
through with the courts. His law
yers admit that with the unfavorable
decision by the United States su-
preme court nothing now stands be-
tween him and the gallows but tho
prison commission and the governors

DENIES BREAK.
Won Buelow Denies Negotiations at
italy are Threatened.

Prince Won Buelow, the German
ambassador to Italy, has requested
The Associated Press to deny q wide
ly circulated rumor that he has trans
ferred the Villa Malta, his Rome res
idence, to his brother-in-law, the
Prince di Canporealo, in view Of the
approaching rupture between Italy
and the central empire.
Instead OF there being a break be-
tween Italy and Austria-Hungary,
Prince yon Buelow said he thought
the negotiations connected with his
mission were proceeding satisfactory
ly; they. had given him confidence
that what he terms "the good sense
of the Italian people" would triumph
in the end.
The negotiations, according to
Prince Won Buelow, were now mostly
being conducted in Vienna, but as IN
all the discussians the contracting
powers had been far apart in their
point OF view, it was taking long
time to come to any definite conclu-
sion.

OUTSIDE NEW YORK.
Three Big Foreign Cruisers Are Seer
Off Harbor Entrance.

A squadron of three foreign cruis-
ers, the most powerful gathered since
the war began, lay off the entrance
to New York harhor Wednesday.
Nearest the shore was four fun
mel British cruiser, seven miles east
of Ambrose Channel lightship. Her
name and the names of her COM
panions could not be made out, even
through glasses. Ten miles east OF
the Highlands rode the second ship,
an auxiliary cruiser, big and with
lines that spelled speed. This cruis-
er, observers thought, was stranger
here, the Caronia having departed,
presumably for supplies.
The largest ship of the squadron, a
four funnel cruiser, lay Is miles
southeast of the Highlands. This
vessel, too, had not been seen previ-
ously by shore observers.
