JAPANESE LOAN FOR CHINA
Mikado's Government to Lend Neigh
Dor sc, ooo, 900.

Mikado's Government to Lend Neigh
Dor $50 900.
Washington, Sept. 5.-Japan's pro-
passed $4,000, 900 loan to China is ex-
pected by the Japanese embassy here
to go through almost Immediately.
It is said China's financial needs are
most pressing and that further delay
may prove serious for the new gov
eminent.
Japanese financiers will, 1t Is believ-
ed, be entirely responsible for the
loan, though Great Britain, France and
Russia may be asked to participate
for diplomatic reasons.
The financial stringency which ur
to now has Handicapped japanese in
the financial negotiations is thought
to have passed with the large profits
made on war munitions.

Upon china-Aiarm Over Situation
10 Reflected from Pekins-Govern.
msnt Watching Developments.
Toxic, Sept. 5.-Another clash be.
tween Chinese and Japanese troops is
oficially reported from Chaopangpa.
Mongolia, and has led to the dispatch
Of heavy japanese reinforcments. 1t
is claimed the Chinese attacked the
Japanese while the Japanese were ad-
vancing to mediate between the Chi
nese and Mongolians.
Washington, Sept. 5.-Secret de-
mands in addition to those published
in dispatches from Picking are being
pressed on China by japan as q re-
suit OF the recent clash Of Chinese
and Japanese troops at Chengdhaitun.
It became known here that the sit
uation is much more serious than has
been indicated. confidential reports
saying the unpublished demands
threaten the authority of China over
the whole Of Inner Mongolia.
Ohicials here view the development
with real anxiety, fearing another
China-Japanese crisis, which might
involve the interests of the United
States.
The Chengchiatun incident, trivial
in itself, but coming on top Of the
strained relations ever since the Japa-
nese took over Kioachow from Ger
many, has been closely watched since
Japan fastened to send 1000 soldiers
to the disturbed district and her cabi-
net announced that satisfactory out
come depended on China.
Alarm in Picking.
Reports from Picking show alarm
there. The prompt and unanimous ac-
ceptance of the new cabinet is believ-
ed to have been result Of the serious
ness Of the Japanese and financial
problems.
Japan's demands. as published. call
for dismissal of Chinese officers in
command of the troops at the scene
Of the trouble, withdrawal Of the Chi
nese garrison, naturalization Of the
families Of the. Japanese killed and
extension Of the japanese police
rights to Innet Mongolia.
Except for the possibility Of Amer
lean interference, It is pointed out.
Japan virtually has free hand in
China, as all the European powers are
too fully occupied at home to devote
much attention to the Far East.
