DEMANDS MOST DRASTIC MADE
 BY JAPANESE
Secret Terms Pressed on China Ask For a Number of
 lndemnitieS.
FOUR FORMAL DEMANDS

WASHINGTON. Sept. 2.-Sweep- ing and drastic demands are re- vealed in the secret terms being pressed on China by Japan. Private dispatches reveal that Japan seeks lndcmnities, an apology and polii- cal concessions.
 The four formal demands are quoted as follows:
 1. Punishment of the commanding officer involved in the military trou- ble in inner Mongolia.
 ?. Dismissal with punishment, of other officers involved.
 8. Instructions to Chinese troops in affected districts not to interfere with Japanese troops or civilians.
 4. Recognition of special inter ests" for Japan in inner Mongolia and South Manchurla, comprising powers of police and administration preferences to loans and the selec- ton of all foreign advisers. etc.
 Besides the four demands are four concessions" which China is asked to grant to Japan without for nal demand. as follows:
 l. The Chinese army in South Manchuria and Eastern Mongolia to employ Japanese advisers.
 9. Chinese schools and colleges to have Japanese military inspect ors. This is not limited to any section.
 8. A formal apology in person from the Chinese governor of Muk den to the Japanese governor at Dairen and the Japanese consul at ! NIukden for the Chengchiatun trou. ble.
 9. Monetary compensation to the families of the Japanese killed, the amounts to he settled by later ne gotiatons.
 Secretary Lansing refused to out line what might be the attitude of the American government. It it known. however, that steps will be taken immediately to learn the full significance of Japan's act Ameri- can interests seem at first glance to be more deeply involved than in any event in the Far Beast since Ja- pans famous ultimatum to China in May 1915.
