Washington. May 22--Japan Is get
ting ready to take over a part, If not
all, Of China as a result of the revoiu-
ton and other disturbances which are
rending the oriental republic. -"..
This Is the intelligence that has
reached Washington in official advices
from the far east. Administration Off
Gals are watching the developments
closely, realizing that at almost any
time the United States will be con-
fronted with the necessity of defining
it's attitude toward Japanese designs
upon China.
According to Japanese officials. con-
ditions in China are going from bad
to worse, and soon 1t may be neces-
sary for the Toxic government to In
tervene in the republic for the re-es-
to blishment Of order and the protec-
ton Of Japanese and other foreigners
and their property.
Point to American Act.
In taking such step, Japanese off,
Gals say, the dominant nation of tho
orient will be doing no more than did
the United States, the dominent nation
of the western hemisphere, in inter-
vening in Haiti and setting up stable
government under American supervi-
sion.
China, contend the Japanese, Is to
Japan what Mexico Is to the United
States, and Japan will give the Amer
lean people an object lesson In 'benev-
client intervention" Japan will not toll
crate conditions in China such as the
United States has tolerated in Mexico,
and menace to the safety OF Japanese
in China will be the signal for the
landing Of Japanese army on the
mainland:
Denies Japan Aids Rebels.
Dispatches from China have stated
that japanese soldiers are fighting
with the revolutionaries. This Is de-
MED by the Japanese embassy here. 1t
Is explained that the Japanese railroad
concessions in China are constituted

Some revolutionar1es have taken ~.
fuge in these zones and the Japanese
have given them asylum 80 long az
they conduct themselves peaceabiy.
Chinese soldiers seeking to capture
these refugees have been repulsed
from the Japanese railroad zones az
Invaders OF foreign territory.
Even IL the Chinese succeed IN re-
establishing order II ID regarded AZ
likely that Japan soon will obtain cons
pIete possession of Manchuria. THIS
northeastern extremity OF the Chinese
republic has been rapidly Hing WITH
Japanese In the last few years ana
particularly In the last few months.
There have been frequent complaints
by the Japanese in Manchuria OF the
inefficiency OF the Chinese govern
ment. 1t would be a short step LOT
Japan to take over Manchuria COM
pletely on the ground OF necessity OF
protecting it's subjects.
Britain Doh Not Object.
Japan for some time has been paving
the way toward intervention In China.
1t has entered into an agreement with
Russia whereby the latter recognizes
the propriety OF Toxic intervening in
China, IL necessary to queli disorders.
Great Britain. so far as is known. has
not consented to the Japanese designs
on China, but Is not obstructiug them.
In the United States, Japanese dipio-
macy has been exceedingly successful
in promoting the ambitions OF the Is
land empire. AS result of the victory
Of Japan in enforcing its demands for
the elimination of the Japanese exclu-
sion clause from the pending inmigra-
ton bill, Toxic has gained prestige IN
the orient and has demonstrated that
it Is not TO be trifled with on more
vital matters. @
To the intense satisfaction OF Toxic,
congress now proposes to eliminate
from the application of the Asiatic
exclusion clause in the immigration
bill Manchuria and that part of east
ern China which Is the special field or
Japanese expansion.
Ties Hands Of America.
The astute diplomacy OF Fiscount
Chinda, tho Japanese ambassador, has
succeeded in lettering the Wilson ad-
inistration from taking any strong
stand in defense of the open door :
policy established by John Hay. Japan
was entirely satisfied with the action
of the United States In sending mild
note to Toxic and Picking when Japan
was pressing It's demands for control
Of China last year.

UPPER RIVER PIONEERS

VIM. Averill and S. H. Young of
Merrill, were in Wausau during the
week on a business and sightseeing
visit. Mr.. Averill claims to be the
oldest resident of Merrill, locating
there when it was in it's infancy, in
1S49, and when that territory was a
part of Marathon county. He is a
brother of Chilli Averill, formerly of
Wausau, who was married here and
who later departed from here for the
far west. Mr. Young is a son of Gid.
Young, a celebrated timber cruiser
and who has cruised more miles in the
woods than any man ever known in
the upper Wisconsin river valley. Mr..
Young, Jr., was born in Merrill in
1860 and has lived there all his life.
Mr.. Young, Sr., is we'll known by
many of the pioneers of this valley,
and still lives and now resides in
Milwaukee, removing from Merrill to
Milwaukee some few years ago, and
is still we'll preserved and sprightly
for man of his years, so the writer
of this was informed by his son who
recently visited his father in the lat
ter city, and who has reached the age
of IS years and thinks nothing of a
stretch of from ten to twenty miles
or more for exercise and pasttime any
day.

CIRCUS STUNTS THRILL CROWD
AT OPENING

Some good fairy must have had a
part in arranging the engagement OF
Al e. Barnes Wild Animal Circus in
San Francisco during the Easter holt
days in the schools, which began to-
day.
Both young ard old declared it the
kind of show they liked at yesterdays
opening performances, and the young
sters will be clamoring for tickets the
remainder of the week.
The big tent was packed Sunday
afternoon and night, and as barom-
eter of prosperity the Barnes show
should be one of the best of argu-
mentS for the optimist. Barnes looks
for the best season he has ever had.
The attendance has been large every
where since the start was made last
month from the Venice winter quar-
tiers.
1t is greatly augmented show that
he brings this season, with animals
and trainers increased by the hun
dreds. Besides these, there are new
acts in which the old performers have
been made proficient during the train
ing season at Venice.
There are as many of the tradition
al circus features as one would desire
in the Barnes show, with enough
thrills for any ones nerves in one day,
and in addition there are animal ac-
complishments such as no other aggre-
CATION in the world exhibits.
AS an instance of the achievements
of trainers through patience, the per-
Torrance of wild llamas from the
Andes Mountains might be cited.
Zebras are also made to act with an
intelligence akin to human.
The grand Introductory pageant
is the best reproduction ever given of
the celebrated parade into Noah's ark.
Al G. Barnes hates to think of the
entertainment Noah and his circle
missed, with that fine company of
actors, because animal training was
not then even in its infancy.
Both in numbers and in skill the
circus performers are remarkable.
The four rings are filled with animals
at one time, with hundreds of others
left in the cages and stalls.
The dancing and posing horses and
Monies form one of the most attrac-
tive features. In the same cage hor-
ses are ridden by Persian leopard, a
black bear, dog and an ape. There
are elephants that do everything but
talk
Other leading acts are Samson, the
aviation lion. which aScends in cage
which spouts rockets; Gunboat Smith,
the boxing kangaroo; troups of educa-
ted dogs of every breed and size; lions
and tigers by the cageful, defed by
fair tanners: Gotch the wrestling griz-
Fly; elephant riding bears; the mule
that no man can ride; goats such as
were never seen on Telegraph Hill,
and seals that juggle and climb lad
ders at the same time.
The clowns, both animal and human,
form a large company. There are
bands galore, wild west perform ers,
Scotch bagpipe players and side shows.
The performances begin at , and s
O'Clock daily.-The San Francisco Call,

Edited by Aunt Jennie.

"I'll set the dog on the next agent
that comes in the yard!" Thus spoke
an indignant woman in our hearing
lately. 1t seems she had been per-
suaded to buy some sort of a publica-
ton making a partial payment-the
rest later. Handing him a bill to
change, he quickly pocketed it, and
was gone before she realized what
was done.
Now, wouldn't it have been better
if this man had been required to
report at headquarters on entering
town, giving his name and address,
and receiving a permit properly
signed? No straight man could OBJ
ject to this. A good many people are
still being duped by the magazine
fake, which ought to have been
stopped long ago. These men always
from other towns, simply ask the
privilege of mailing you these well
known magazines-you only have to
pay a small sum to cover postage. A
tempting bait, of course. Those who
bit, and got bit, found that only a few
numbers ever came, and these COM
prised only a few pages. It's still a
mystery why these magazines have
allowed Their names to be used in this
way.
Now we are not saying these young
men are all frauds. No doubt, some
of them took the agency in good faith.
Some we know were gentlemanly,
and not in the least obtrusive. We all
have a right to protection.
One of these agents mot in Wau-
saul is still looked upon as a white
SLAYER, young woman of the town
having been lured from her home at
that time.
This article is not intended to re-
feet on any worthy person, of our
own city especially, who takes this
way of making an honest living.

unsalaried visiting nurse, and often
carry cheer into the homes they visit.
