the District and candidate for .re-elec-
udn, and the president general, Mrs.

tack against the administration and as
an allegation Of the use Of a political

Mrs. Smallwood's term OF office as
vice president general expires this year
Immediately upon the formal opening
of the congress she secured recognition.
She said that a paper was being circu-
lated bearing thirteen names for vice
president general and that a definite
statement by a definite person for a
definite reason had been made that votes
should be cast only for the first ten on
the list
The speaker asked the. chair to dis
avow publicly that this was being done
with authority
Mrs. Story replied thatrshe- would no.

JAPAN PLANS TO RENEW DE.
MANDs ON CHINA AT AN
EARLY DATE.
New Elements of Peril to American
Interests Develops in Plan of
Mikado 10 Gain Control Of Con-
cessions In China.

Washington.-The gravity Of the
Japanese-Russian- Chinese situation is
increasing and new elements of peril
to American interests has developed.
1t has become known that Japan
plans to renew at an early date the
demands on China contained in the
famous group Ave, which were pre-
scented originally in January, 1915, but
were withdrawn because of the great
powers opposition to them.
These demands, if acquiesced in,
would invest the Japanese emperor
with sovereignty over China. Japan,
1t is known here, confidently expects
the new Chinese president, Lii Yuan
Hung, to accede to her demands. LII
Yuan Hung was educated in Japan,
and the Japanese government has
sounded him out on the subject of Co
operation for mutual advantages" un.
der the provisions of group five. This
is taken to be an informal renewal Of
these demands.
An attache of the Japanese embassy
is quoted as saying the treaty was
negative alliance for mutual protection
against aggression, and does not con.
Germ the United States in any way.
This a6tache continued: Russia
and Japan are restrained by the treaty
from entering into any agreement with
third power, which would be to the
prejudice of either in Asia. The fear
OF Asia was that some other power
might join with Japan. Russia is pre-.
vented from entering into an alliance
with Germany or any other power
against Japan. That is about all there
is to the treaty"
The state department is not satisfied
and has renewed its instructions to
its ambassadors at Toxic and Petro-
grad to send all the information they
can get concerning the new alliance.
