London, Jan 26.-The japanese
government has delivered to the Chi

sion to his government, a note en-
bodying seven demands which were
included in the Japanese program of
last spring, the Manchester Guardian
learns from far eastern sources.
on January IS, 1915. Japan pre-
sented to China a list of twenty-one
demands arranged in five groups. The
first group related to the Shantung
province and to the conceding to Jap

enjoyed by Germany in Shantung as
well as new prerogatives
The Jap Demands.
Group two related to South Man

London, Jan. 26.-The British gov
ernment has virtually decided to stand
pat on its present trade regulations
and will make no announcement of
blockade Of the entire German coast
in parliament this afternoon, the ma
jo1ity of well informed parliamentary
writers agreed today.
Only a f,w papers clung to the be-
lief that the cabinet will announce
redicaI change of policy. The net
thrown about Germany by existing
regulations may he tightened in some
respects. But it was the general be-
lief Of the newspapers that the cabl-
net has decided against so revOlu-
tionary a change in policy.
The storm of protest caused in the
United States and Sweden, some Of
the newspapers broadly hinted. has
cooled the arGor of advocates Of the
blockade. if it has not had its effect
upon the government. The newspa-
pers gave prominent display TO the
warIike utterances of the Swedish pre-
mier in his relchstas speech yesterday
and the Daily Telegraph and the Daily
News cautioned the government
against any action likely to involve
Great Britain with neutrals.
Need United States Resources.
"Firebrands of the press have de
manded that we brush neutrals out of
our path with a strong hand, but
what will be the position of the en-
tente allies if the vast resources of the
United States ceases to be at our com
mand2" demanded the News.
There is reason to believe that the
foreign secretary will announce this
afternoon that the government has
reached no important decision with
reference to change of our policies, -
said the Telegraph. This country
may he content with the present meas
ures. which, if apparently slow, are
sure and which hitherto have been
adopted without any severance of
friendly relations with the neutral
powers We have had experience with
the possible consequences of imperious
and overbearing conduct"
Formal debate on the blockade issue
is expected to open with the introduce
ing of a resolution indorsing such a
drastic step by Sir Arthur Shirley
Bcnn, conservative. Sir Edward Gray
was counted upon to answer for the
government with a sweeping denial OF
the charge that the present block
ade" has been ineffective.

Moving Picture Men of Kansas
Arrange for Offices.
Garry Censorship Fight on to
the 1917 Legislature.
PAYING ENOUGH, THEY SAY
Believe the Cost Should Justify
a Competent Review.
Cite Instances of Incompetence
and UnfairneSS.

Disguised and distinctly peeved by
the action of state motion censor
board, Kansas exhibitors are preparing
to wage an energetic fight on the
ruthless slashing and rejection of pic
lures by the censors. Arrangements
are being completed this week to open
an office of the Amusement Associa-
ton of Kansas in Topeka. From here
the fight to keep screen features in
tact will be directed.
The amusement association that will
take up the fight here is composed of
the exchange men of Kansas City and
the exhibitors in all parts of Kansas.
More than 546 show owners hold mem
bership in the organization.
J. E. Boland of Kansas City will
have charge of the local office. He
will confine his work mainly to see
ing that censors exercise some discre-
ton when using the shears.
Fight to Legislature.
The fight over the moving picture
censorship law will probably be car
ried before the Legislature next win
ter. From every section of the coun-
try has come complaint concerning the
enforcement of the state enactment.
Now. it is stated, fight will be made

Seattle. Jan. 26.-Six persons lost
their lives here today in a fire which
destroyed the interior of the five-story
Talbot Walker building at jackson
street and First avenue south.
large quantity of hemp saIvaged
from an incendiary fire last fall ON a
steamship pier stacked with war mu-
nitions, was being dried in the build
ing. Officials said there was no trace
of incendiarism and that the build
ing was considered "a heavy risk be-
cause of the hemp drying.
Three of the six dead lost their lives
leaping from fourth story windows
Three others were suffocated. All
were men. Several others who Jump
ed from windows were caught in
blankets.
Due to the inflammable contents of
the building, means of escape was cut
off fer the score of men employed in
the building. Thus cornered their
chance was to jump from windows.
Most of those trapped by the flames
were on the fourth floor and in their
frantic efforts to escape, three of the
men leaped far beyond the corps of
firemen who held the rescue blanket
and were crushed to pulp on the pave
ment.
The origin of the fire is believed
to have been an explosion and almost
simultaneous with the blast the entire
structure was in flames.

TO ACTION
Labor Convention Approves
Acts of Parliament.
Unions to Assist English Gov
ernment in War Moves.

Bristol, Jan. 26.-The British labor
conference adopted today, by vote
of $4,000 against 100000, a resolu-
ton entirely approving the action of
the parliamentary labor party in CO
operating with other political parties
in the national recruiting campaign.
Representatives of more than p
600, 900 members of trades unions met
here today to decide the attitude of
ORGANIZED labor toward the war and
compulsory military service.
The compulsory service bill before
the house of lords was attacked by
the president of the conference, Will
liam Anderson, who has opposed the
bill in parliament. He declared it did
not redeem the pledge of Premier AS
quith regarding compulsion.
mo words can offer immunity
from danger he said. We cannot
have forced military service without
the risk of forced industTisl Is service" p"
Mr. Anderson said there was dan
ger in Great Britain's attempting the
impossible by seeking to be simultan-
eously a great naval, military and in
dustrial power.

The first resolution was moved by
James Sexton on behalf of the Ma
tional Union of Dock Workers. The
resolution expressed the horror of

Ramsay Mcdonald, labor member
of parliament. appealed for tolera-

versial resolution, which, he said, was
calculated to interfere with labor's
previous comradeship and fighting q
common enemy. Sections motion was
adopted by a card vote of 1902. 200
against 100000.
