JAPAN DEMANDS BROAD SCOPE
 IN CHINA
Their Acceptance by China Would Mean Japan's Mater ial, Industrial and Political Dominance of China.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-State De- partment officials are interested in the London report that Japan has revived all her demands upon China included in the group of five" list of proposals submitted to the Pekin government more than a year ago. Study of the proposals in Washington leads to the belief that. if accepted by China. they would lead not only to the material and industrial. but political domina- tiOn of China by Japan.
 The conviction in official circles here is that any action towards ward ing off new Japanese demands will be taken by the United States alone. While the Entente allies are in sym pathy with the opposition of the Unit ed States to the original group of five" proposals. it is believed none of the powers will be inclined to take is- sue with Japan now when depending on her as an ally.

ACTION WILL BE FORGED IN
 TREATIES
Democrats and Chief Execu- tive will Try to Put Through Ratification of Agreement with Latin Countries.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26-The ad- ministration's determination to force action as a part of it's Pan-American policy on it's treaties with Colombia and Nicaragua, held up for more than two years, spurred the Democrats of the Senate Foreign Relations Com mittee to fix next Wednesday as the date for a vote on the columbian treaty. An effort will be made to then get Nicaraguan pact to avote.
 Some senators predicted both could be recommended for ratification. Beth Democrats and Republicans have their doubts regarding reception in the Senate. Opposition to the Colom- bian treaty, which proposes to pay Colombia s25,O00.OO0 for it's separation from Panama with an expression of regret that anything should have hap pened to mar the relations of the two countries, is based on various grounds.
 Many senators believe $25,000, 900 an excessive amount, insisting that half or even less would be equitable. Others are insistent that no language should be used which might be con strued as an apology by the United States for the Requirement. of the canal property. Others object to the provision which gives war or coast wise merchant ships of Colombia the right to pass through the canal with out payment of tolls. There is even stronger opposition to the Nicaraguan treaty.
 This proposes to pay $3,OOO,O0O for an option on the Nicaraguan canal route and for a naval base at Fon- seca Bay. One of the complicating features is the objection of Salvador and Honduras. which own properties of the shore of Fonseca Bay They in- sist Nicaragua had on right to permit the United States to establish a naval base there without their consent.

TENTATIVE DRAFT OF
 BILL NOW IN COMMITTEE
Officer Reiterates His Former Statement that Present Stores are Inadequate. and Too Near Seaboard.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-Estimates were given the senate military commit ice by Brigadier General Crozier, show ing that a plant costing s400. .OO0. 900 operated by three quarters of a million worlImen, would be required to manu- facture ammunition and war material necessary to keep an army of a million in tho field and to equip an additional million recruits.
 The committee received draft of the tentative measure from Garrison providing for the authorization of the proposed continental army in general ter only. leaving the details to be worked out by the War Department regulations.
 Crozier disapproved of any proposal of the government for a monopoly of tho manufacture of war supplies and insisted the best results were to be had by relying upon private establish ments to supplement government plants in time of war.
 Crozier reiterated the statement that the present reserve stores for the ar my were inadequate. He pointed out that practically all public and large private munitions plants were near the Atlantic within stz<kig distance of an invading army. He urged that the de- velopment of private plants in the in terior be fostered.
