MANUFACTURERS SEEK
u. S. AID FOR TRADE
Urge State Department Not TO
Grant Japan'S Demands.

A letter, declaring that American
trade in China would be cut of should
Japan's demands be granted and asking
the State Department 70 take sucn
action in the premises as seems proper
20 meet the conditions arising" was
sent yesterday TO Secretary OF State
Lansing by the president Of the Ameri-
can Manufacturers Export Association.
The letter points out that last May
the association told the government
that japan. taking advantage Of the oc-
cupation Of other world powers with
their own affairs, was pursuing strong
measures IN carrying out designs in
China which promised 20 nullify the
open door policy 70 which Japan had
committed herself.
The demands" the letter reads,
while not fully disclosed by the news
paper reports, are sufficiently sppre-
ciated by this association 20 warrant
its belief thst they may have as their
object the extension 20 other parts OF
China of especial interests for Japan
and result in the exclusion Of American
prestige and the handicap 70 the ex-
tension Of legitimate American COM
mercial interests IN the former
country"

Somme Gains Cost Allies
100000 Men. Germans Say

Berlin. Sept. 20 by wireless TO Say
Vile, y. Y0.-British and French
losses In the battle Of the Somme have
reached about 1000 men, the Over
seas News Agency estimates.
Recent local successes obtained BY
the British on the Somme are heralded
by the English press as great Veto
ries, and even occasioned a special mes
sage from King George 70 the British
commander, General Sir Douglas Halg'
says the news agency. at IS said the
British occupied the villages OF Flers,
Martinpuich and Courcelette IN the
first days fighting, although 10 had
been planned 20 take them In the course
Of four days OF battle.
Nevertheless. the British were en-
abled TO make this advance only after
eleven weeks OF the most desperate
efforts. The result Of the battle Of the
Somme should be guaged By consider
ing the amount OF French and Belgian
territory occupied by the Germans,
which amounts in all TO about $4,000
square kilometres. OF this, $4,000 is
Belgian and 2l,000 French. The efforts
made By the French and British have
resulted in the reconquest Of only
! 500 square kilometres, or per cent.
The price paid for this territory is
appalling. According 70 a conserva-
tive estimate, the British lost 100000
men up 20 September IS. This, to-
gether with the French losses, brings
up the total 70 about half a million
men

London, Sept. 20.-Lord Derby, Under
Secretary for War, who recently re-
turned from a visi. 70 the West Front,
emphasized to-day the growing supe-
riority OF the Allies over the enemy
in all branches Of fighting, especially
IN the air service. though admitting
that the end Of the war vas still far
of, he said he wished he could bet
on a horse that had the same chance
Of success az the Allies have now.
To question about the winter fight
ing, Lord Derby replied: "The weather
necessarily will interfere 20 certain
extent, but you can be sure that We
won't give the Roche chance 20 rest
this winter. Watch his casualty lists
and see If they are as low as they
were in the last two winters. We
have learned by experience and should
be better prepared this winter"
Lord Derby, who favors CONSUMPTION
for the whole population from eighteen
70 sixty-ive years, said there was no
immediate intention OF calling the men
up 20 forty-fve, though earnest con-
sideration was being given 20 various
methods of sustaining the army's
man-power.
