JAPAN'S ACTIONS IN CHINA
WORRIES UNCLE SAM
Their New Military Policy May
Threaten Our Open-Door
Policy.

Washington.-Japans demands on
China for the employment of Jap
anese military advisers in the large
Chinese centers of south Manchuria
and inner Mongolia, and Japanese
military instructors in the Chinese
schools and colleges, are viewed by
officials here as part of a new Jap
anese policy which may threaten
Americas policies of the open door
and maintenance of Chinese integ-
rity.
For many years the Chinese gov
eminent has employed some Japan
ese military instructors and advisers
in Chinese garrison towns, schools
and colleges, but she also has en-
ployed French, British, German and
few Americans in the same capa-
city. Always the choice has been
made according to her own judg-
ment
The new demands restricting such
appointments to Japanese would, Of
ficials believe, negative the most
favored nation" clause in American
and other treaties and virtually con
vert a large section of Chinese ter
ritory into a Japanese protectorate.

At QUEBEC
AGAIN COLLAPSES
BIGGEST CANTILEVER SUSPEN
SION IN WORLD MEETS DIS
ASTER-SPAN PLUNGES.
INTO ST. LAWRENCE RIVER
When 20 Lives Were Lost-Ob-
servers Say the Span Broke
in Two Places.

quebec, Que, Sept. 1.-THE new
central span of the Quebec bridge,
the largest cantilever suspension in
the world, collapsed and fell into the
st. Lawrence river while being hoist
ed into place Monday, with a heavy
loss of life.
The st. Lawrence Bridge company
estimates the number of dead at Is.
The bridge was being constructed
at a cost of $17,OOO,OOO in order to
shorten the railway journey from
Halifax to the Canadian northwest
by 200 miles.
The bridge stands on the site OF
the structure which collapsed on Au
gust 20, 1907, with loss of 70 lives
The central span, which fell Mon
day, weighs more than 5000 tons and
is $40 feet long.
Ninety Men on Structure.
The collapse occurred when the
span was about Is feet in the air
There were 80 men on the structure
when it fell.
The fallen structure sank 200 fee
to the bottom of the river, and engi
neers who witnessed the collapse ex
pressed doubts as to whether it coulC
ever be brought up again.
Observers said that the span broke
in two places-first one of the cor
ners appeared to give way, this be
ing followed almost Immediately b,
break in the center.
The span had been constructed OF
pontoons a few miles east of thu
bridge site and was towed into pc
sition Immediately under the gap lef
in the anchor arms of the structure
Chains with links 80 inches in di
ameter, together with Orders, wer'
then attached to the span and 5000
ton hydraulic jacks began the stu
pendous task of lifting the span int,
place.
This work could be accomplish,
only a few feet an hour and as tn
distance from the river level to tn
floor of the bridge is $50 feet, the er
gineers had not counted on complet
ing the operation until the end O
this week or later.
The bridge was to have been read
for train service next spring, mark
ing an important milestone in Car
ada's engineering railway history.
