FEAR FOR U. s. RIGHTS
American Interests May Be Affected by New Demands Made by Japan on China, Federal Officials Believe.

Washington, Sept. 5.-C1ose watch is being maintained by diplomatic officials here over the newly threat ened crisis between Japan and China growing out of tie recent clash of the two nations troops at Cheng Chia- tun. Considerable fear is felt that the rights of the United States in China
 may be affected in view of confidential reports that Japan has made other demands than those published yester- day in despatches from Picking, and that the secret negotiations threat en Chinese rule throughout inner Mongolia.
 An extension to inner Mongolia of the authority gained by Japan in south Nanchuria by the treaty of May 8, 1915, involving supervision by Japan of foreign loans and special privi- leges for Japanese resident citizens, might impair seriously the open door policy and tie integrity of China, it is pointed out here.

HAD PARALYSIS THREE
 WEEKS WITHOUT CARE
Eighteen Children Un- knowingly Exposed to
 Plague in Block

Another case of infantile paralysis,
 the sixth reported in this city during the past two months, was brought to the attention of the health depart ment late yesterday through an odd circumstance. The victim, Lily Cio, IS two and one-half years old and lives at the rear of 37 Franklin street in 8 crowded tenement house and has been i'll over three weeks, but up to yesterday had received no medical at tention. The case was discovered when doctor was called in to attend her mother who became i'll recently. Over eighteen children in the block have been exposed to the disease and childs left leg is partly paralyzed but Health Superintendent Reeks de- scribes the case as mild as have been all the cases in this city. In all six local cases thus far reported to the board the affection has been noticeable only in the leg.
 The health department reports all cases as doing well. The Quarti child on Rocky Hill avenue, the first taken i'll with the disease in this city, is still under observation, but the youngster is rapidly improving and gaining in strength with each passing day. Will bur Hale, the son of MT. and Mrs. August Hale of g Madison street, Is still at the Hartford isolation hos pita1, but is reported as improving. The Smalley street case, which was
 S1fs, ho1 practically recovered, is still under ob- servation and a quasi quarantine is being maintained at the house. The young son of Frederick Knox of 2O50 Stanley street is improving although still suffering with partial paralysis of the leg The condition of the Reed child on Washington street remains about the same. This case was re- ported to the board on Sunday.
 For the purpose of discussing the paralvsis situation the board of health will hold a special meeting this even ing Health Superintendent Reeks suggests until the board makes definite recommendation that all returning vacationists report at once to health department, especially those coming | from places where the disease is l known to exist. Many vacationists l returned to the city yesterday and to- l day the board is securing much in- 1 formation on this score. Little trouble
 is experienced in gaining this infor- nation, but the health authorities are | anxious that parents themselves report their return. Then the department can learn the circumstances and de- l eide on the question of an obserVa-
 ton period. Many are alarmed by l the return of neighbors from shore resorts and areas where the disease l is known to exist and this can be all
 layed to large extent by reporting ! to the board at once and receiving
 definite orders in regard to segrega- l ton.
 In regard to attending fairs, Health | Superintendent Reeks issues a further
 warning today, advising all parents to
 keep their children away. It is known
 that many New Workers are attending
 fairs in this vicinity. Hope of quickly | checking the disease will be increased
 bv observing carefully the suggestions and mandates of the board of health.
