NOTE MISREPRESENTED.
Garbled Version Published in ~
Toxic Newspaper.

WAsHINGToN. June lS.-Unfavorable
criticism in Japan OF the American note
to China was based upon a distorted
version of the document appearing in
the Toxic ASdhi. a leading newspaper of
the japanese capital. and purporting to
have been cabed from New York.
As the United States had not COM
municated the official text to the Toxic
Foreign Office this version, apparently
Intentionally misauoted TO convey the
impression that the American Govern
ment was seeking to interfere unduly in
China's internal affairs, was commented
upon as genuine.
The situation was brought to the at
tention of the State Department several
days ago and steps were taken at once
to see that the text Of the note as given
out at Pekin was published in Japan.
1t is not known here how this was re-
ceived
officials cannot account for the pub
lication in the Asdhi 1t is suggested
that probably there was no cablegram m
from New York and that the matter
appearing under New York date was
sent from China or actually written in
Toxic. This IL not the first case OF mis-
representation Of the Government for
eien policy in an apparent effort to
cause trouble.

cism In Japan. where the action is re-
garded as ignoring Japans special po-
s!ton in China.
The feeling as expressed in Official
circles is that the situation would have
been better treated by first exchanging
views with the Entente. and especially
Japan. which is described as rigidly ad-
herring 20 policy Of non-interference in
Chinese domestic affairs.
The newspapers call the action of the
United States glaring Interference and
warn the Government that il Is prob
ably an epoch making precursor OF
further activities. Officials here ex-
press the opinion that the Chinese sit
uation will be settled by a compromise,
TOXIC. June IL The alleged failure
OF the United States TO consult Japan
before presenting its note is generally
discussed in the newspapers. The semi
official Times says: The Foreign ONCE
officials must obtain from the United
states an assurance that II will not re-
peat its action in interfering with the
domestic affairs in China. completely
ignoring the existence and position OF
Japan"
The newspaper adds that negotiations
with the United States already have be
gun and affirms that the Cabinet has
discussed the situation at length on the
ground that 1t gravely concerns the fu-
ture of the empire.
Among other statements made at the
Foreign Office. says the Times. was one
that Japan was ready to make a frank
declaration that her instinct for national
existence compels her jealousy TO guard
her special position in China. The action
of the United States. It was added. was
without ulterior motives and only over
hasty but it touched vital questions as
to Japan's future.
The American position with regard Ia
Mexico was a parallel case, but it was
doubtful IL the United States would
countenance Japanese interference there
Japan in the past" says the Times
has been too reserved toward America
Japan should seek Americas recognition
OF Japan's special position in China in
order to prevent future misunderstand-

CAMP DELAYS DUE
TO SILLY BLUNUER
Contonn1ent Planned for
Petersburg Shifted.

WASHINGTON. June 13-The reason
for the rejection Of Petersburg. Va. as
one Of the sixteen sites for national
army cantonments after 1t once had been
designated came TO light to-day. 1t Ia
typical Of the causes for countless de-
lays which the Government has en-
countered since II embarked on the 81
gantic construction programme with an
advance preparation which was wholly
inadequate and i'll considered
After the citizens OF Petersburg had
been assured that their city would get
one Of the big camps and the city had
spent upward of 100000 In making
ready the War Department suddenly
changed its mind, as it had done in the
cases of other sites picked out by De-
partment commanders. The reason for
the change was the belated discovery
that a munitions plant situated almost
adjacent to the site Of the camp would
require all transportation facilities avail
able.
Notwithstanding all the delays army
officers in charge of the work expressed
the hope to-day that most of the canton
ments would be completed by September
|. when the first of the first 500. 900 con-
script army will be called to service.
Practical engineers and construction ex-
perts said. however. that 1t would be
winter before the majority of the con-
tracts would be completed.
Men associated with the enterprise
admitted to-day that the launching of
the plan for the sixteen cantonments TO
shelter from 100000 to 600, 900 men
caught the Government almost before II
had taken the first steps in preparedness.
The lack of preparation was due prin-
cipally to the fact that no sites were
definitely approved by Secretary Baker
until almost two months after war was
declared and no comprehensive and
workable programme for the construc-
tion OF the cantonments had been de-
vised In advance.

CRASH IN BAY
Manchuria Hits Monitor on
Guard OFF Staten Island.
Damaging Both.

. The British steamship Manchuria was
severely damaged when she struck the
United States monitor Amphitrite. doing
guard duty and living at anchor or Clif-
ton. Staten Island. as the steamship was
passing Quarantine last night in a heavy
fog
With two big holes stove in her star
board side amidships. above and below
the water line. and down by the stern,
the Manchuria was able to make her
dock under her own steam only after she
had been beached on the mud bank at
stapleton and her cargo shifted. The
naval authorities refused to divulge the
extent of damage the collision caused to
the Amphitrite. which dragged her
anchor under the heavy weight of the
Manchuria and drifted down the bay to
the submarine net across the entrance
to the harbor. in which she became en-
tangled
The Manchuria passed Through Saudx
Hook late IN the afternoon Steaming
slowly because OF the fog. she turned
eastward at Quarantine. and off Clifton
bumped into the Amphitrite. striking the
monitor on the port side near the stern.
The Manchuria was unable to extricate
herself from the naval vessel. and while
both ships sounded distress whistles and
sent out wireless calls they drifted with
Tugs SCI out from Quarantine, but
before they could reach the vessels the
monitor had become entangled in the
net The Manchuria finally wrenched
herself free and proceeded up the bay.
but she took in water so fast that her
captain was compelled to turn her into
the Stapleton mud bank. There the
cargo was shifted. raising the holes from
the water, and she came on to her dock.
Several tugs went to the assistance of
the Amphitrte and tried to drag her
from the submarine net. but after two
hours of unsuccessful work they aban-
doned the task and the naval vessel will
not be released until this morning There
was little excitement among the 100 or
more passengers on the Manchuria. as
they were unable to see what was hap
pening because of the fog and were not
told the ship had been damaged until
she had reached her dock.

LONDON, June 1S.-The weekly report
issued by the Admiralty to-day shows
that the submarine menace has again
become serious. All told. thirty-eight
British ships were sunk. OF these
twenty-five were merchant ships of
more than 1900 tons Ten merchant
ships of less tonnage and six fishing YES
sells were sunk.
summary of the report follows:

British merchant ships over 1900
tons sunk by mine or submarine. in
cluding one previously. 80 under 600
tons. including one previously. 10.
British merchant ships unsuccessfully
attacked. including seven previously, 23.
British fishing vessels sunk S.
This weeks figures justify the pessI-
mistic predictions in London during the
last week that the submarine campaign
had been only scotched. The total Of 3s
ships sunk is the largest in many weeks
Last week the total was 90 and the week
preceding II. OF ships over 600 tons
22 were sunk this week, as contrasted
with 10 last week and is the week pre-
ceding This weeks losses include the
Southland. of 1889 tons.
The number of smaller ships sunk 10
also exceedingly large. Ten merchant
men of less than 1900 tons were sunk.
whereas last week there were only three
and in the week of May 80 only one.
Even the number Of fishing vessels. six,
is larger than usual.
One reason why British naval writer's
expected the submarines to work greater
havoc this week was that during the
bright moonlight they could operate bet
ter at night II has also been surmised
that one reason why the results have
been smaller in the past few weeks was
that the submarines had been sent out
