papers-Monarchy May Be Restored,
If One Faction Wins.

Washington, June 16. Japan has
taken action similar to that of Great
Britain, refusing to align herself with
the American action in asking the
various factions in China to compose
their differences.
No reason is given for the action of
either nation, but it is assumed that
neither felt that the American action
would be successful in gaining it's aim.
Japan is known to resent the act Of
the United States In sending its note
to China, feeling that it disregarded
tho special position she claims for her
self there. The whole question, from
what little is being divulged by the
state department, seems to have arisen
from a series of MISUNDERSTANDING.
AS nearly as can be learned the
United States on June addressed
what it considered a most friendly note
to China. asking the two fighting fac
tions to compose their differences and
restore internal order.
At about the same time Great Bri-
tain. France and Papan were invited to
take some steps toward the restoration
Of order in China, but Japan, at least
apparently did not understand that the
American action had already been
taken. "a.
On June 8 the FIRST public !ntima-
ton Of Americas actual action came
in a dispatach from Peking quoting the
text Of the American note, given out
apparently by the Chinese authorities
