More Drastic Than Publish ed Reports to America
 Have Indicated.
SEEKS CONTROL OF
 IMMENSE TERRITORY
In Addition to Indemnity, Apology and Punishment of Soldiers. Japan Demands Special
 Concessions,

Washington, Sept. 5.-Sweeping de- mands, far more drastic than any published reports have indicated, are revealed in dispatches here concern ing secret terms being pressed on China by Japan, as result of the recent armed clash between Chinese and Japanese troops at Ching Chia Tuang, in Inner Mongolia.
 Private dispatches reveal that Ja- pan seeks indemnity, apology and po- litical control through Inner Mon- golia and Southern Manchuria. Four formal demands are made, as follows:
 First, punishment of the Chinese commanding officers involved in the clash itself.
 Second. dismissal and punishment of the other officers involved.
 Third, instructions to Chinese troops in Inner Mongolia and South ern Manchuria not to interfere in any way with Japanese troops ol civilians, and to publish these in- strucsions broadcast.
 Fourth. recognition of the special interest" of Japan in Inner Mongolia and South Manchuria, comprising the
  preference in loans and preference in the selection of foreign advisers.
 Tn addition to the four demanfA are the four concessions which Chin1 is asked to make to Japan without formal demand ,as follows:
 First, the Chinese army in Inner Mongolia and South Manchuria to employ Japanese military advisers.
 Second, Chinese schools and col-- leges to have Japanese military in structors. This is not limited to any particular locality, in the reports re- ceived here.
 Third formal apology in person from Gai Ren to the Japanese con- sul at Mukden, for the Ching Chia Tuang trouble.
 Fourth. monetary compensation to the families of the Japanese killed, the amounts to be settled upon at later negotiations.
 Secretary of State Lansing tonight refused to comment on the dispatches or to outline what might be the at titude of the American government in the matter. It is known, however, that steps will be taken immediately by the state department to procure 9 detailed report and to learn the full significancee of the Japanes acts.
 American interests seem, at first glance, to be more deeply involved in the matter than in any event in the Far East since Japan's famous ulti- matum to China in May, 1915.

We had two interesting experiences,
one last night and one this morning,
that we ought not to divulge for self
evident reasons. Nevertheless we are
going to tell about them to give the
law abiding citizens Of this county more
courage and energy in their fight
against the debauching of the ballot.
Last night TWO men came to our
home and stated that they had read of
the efforts being made to clean things
up and the warning that it would be
unhealthy for those handling slush
funds this election. They said frank
" that they had for several years ham
died the money at a certain voting pre-
cinct for one Of the political parties
they CAV details chat we will withhold
and they had expected to do it again
on November. Would II be more dan
gerous than usual or was the move
ment only bluff? We gave them
enough information without spilling
the beans to'proVe to their satisfaction
that there was no bluffing this time.
Then they asked our advice and We
gave it. We told them that they would
do more good for everybody concern
ed-eXcept the man who asked them to
do the dirty Work-if they would keep
their mouths shut, take the money that
would be given them as usual and then
put the money down in their pockets

These Workers Viii Get Theirs

and keep it there. They had better buy
groceries with it than to use it to cor
rUpt voters. And, although we did not
ask them what they were going to do,
We think the idea looked pretty good
10 them
This morning a man came to the of
fee and told us that he had been asked
to make some deals" with certain yot-
ers in his precinct and that he would
not settle with these fellows until the
night after the polls were closed or the
next day He asked if this was dam
gerous. He talked more freely than we
are writing He has some idea, now,
Of the danger he is running to help
somebody who wouldn't raise finger
to help him out and who has more
sense than to take the risk himself. He
realizes that he is risking disgrace and
Imprisonment for practically nothing
il feturn-for doing something that
probably none of the candidates would
do for = thousand dollars Unless we
are badly mistaken. that workers
deals will never be closed up and the
money goes down in his own jeans for
keeps.
1t looks to us as though the candi-
dates would have been wiser to sign up
than to fight the will of the people and
it would have been cheaper, too. But
those who intend to buy wanted a fight
and they are getting it.
