For long time the questions of the
open door Tor trade in china and
Japan's claims TO special interests in
that country have been the sources
of great diplomatic activity between
the United States and other powers and
Japan.
Since tho Russo ia panesc war. Japan
has sought 10 extend her sphere OF in
nuencc in China both commercially
and politically, which has resulted in
considerable diplomatic controversy. in
which China herself took part in op
posing Japan's ambitions in great meas
ure.
The high point in the controversy
came carly in 1915, when Japan. after
the establishment OF republic i'll
China. put forth her famous group OF
demands. which called for predomi
mating influence In China. Originally
there were twenty-one of these de-
mands, but later after much argument
these were cut down to eleven. This
controversy centered mainly between
China and Japan. ChinaS principal OBJ
lection was to group s Ct the origina,
demands, which had to do with the
appointment of Japanese military and
political advisers for China and for
Japanese supervision over the manu-
facture or purchase by China OF mu-
nitions of war. This demand was
withdrawn. The Japanese demands
also provided for the transfer complete
TO Japan OF the German lease on. Kiao-
chau: pledge not to ALLEVIATE any of
the territory of tho Shantung province:
consent to a Japanese railway joining
kiaochau with Chefu or Lung Kow,
and the opening of certain treaty ports
to be selected later
They also embraced the extension of
the Port Arthur lease to nlnety-ninc
years, the right of Japanese to lease
or own land or work mining conces-
sions in South Manchuria and East
Mongolia. and that the consent OF
Japan should be obtained before China
granted any railway concessions. bor-
rowed money on taxes or appointed ad-
visers in South Manchui.ia and East
Mongolia.
In May. 1915, treaties were signed
between Japan and China, settling the
questions at issue
During his visit to this country. Wis
count 1shii has asserted that the OBJ
jects of the mission were to seek
closer cooperation between Japan and
The United States In a military sense;
also TO settle questions between the
two countries pertaining to the Far
Cast. In speech In New York, Wis.,
count Ishii outlined Japan's policy to:
ward China. In 1t nc reiterated the
pledge and promise that Japan would
not violate the political Independence
or territorial integrity of China and
would at all times regard the high
principle Of tho open door and OF
equal opportunity there.
On September G formal discussion
OF American and Japanese co-opera-

A CREAMY LOTION
MADE WITH LEMONS
Prepare a quarter pint at about
the cost Of small Jar Of
common cold cream.

When this homemade lemon lotion
is gently massaged into the face,
neck, hands and arms daily, the skin
naturally should become soft, clear
and white, and the complexion dainty
and attractive.
What girl or woman hasn't heard
of lemon juice to remove complexion
blemishes; to bleach the skin and to
bring out the roses, the freshness
and the hidden beauty? But lemon
juice alone is acid, therefore irri-
tating. and should be mixed with
orchard white this way. Strain
through a fine cloth the juice Of two
fresh lemons into bottle contain
ing about three ounces Of orchard
white, then shake well and you have
whole quarter pint of skin and
complexion lotion at about the cost
one usually pays for a small jar of
ordinary cold cream. Be sure to
strain the lemon juice SO no pulp
gets into the bottle, then this lotion
will remain pure and fresh for
months. When applied daily to the
face. neck, arms and hands it natur-
ally should help to whiten, clear,
smoother and beautify.
Any druggist will supply three
ounces Of orchard white at very
little cost and the grocer has the
lemons. In this sweetly fragrant
lemon lotion ladies can easily pre-
pare and have an inexpensive toilet
aid which perfectly satisfies their
skin.

dIowning in the Mississippi river by
cansizing of the foat in which he was
r,ding. The inquest was conducted
nv Coroner Walt H. Clements, and
testimony at the hearing brought out
very few new points.
Frank BRASIL was the chief wit
ness before the jury. He said that
ne and Skates and Humphrey were
rowing back from Warsaw Friday
night That they left there after 10
o'clock and that he and Skates were
rowing Humphrey was in the boat
and was telling the men which oar
n pull. The two oarsmen found
that they weren't going to land
where they expected to, and changed
their tactics. This seemed to anger
humphrey and he started for Skates.
AS he stood up. he lost his balance
and toppled into the water. Both
men tried to aid him and the boat
was capsized.
According to BRASIL, he and
skates both had hold of the boat for
time. Skates told him not to lose
his head, and he'd be all right.
Shortly after this BRASIL said Skates
let loose of the boat and started to
swim to shore and after going about
fifty feet he saw him go under. He
only came up once, he said. Humph-
rev had been drinking heavily. wit

BRASIL in answer to question
from the coroner, said the boats
cargo weighed about 500 pounds, but
he didn't say what it was.
There was red mark across
Humphreys neck, testimony brought
out in the inquest showed, but this
was due to the rubbing of the rope
on the net, 1t was said The net
caught the body around the neck and
around the soles Of the shoe, and it
Is thought that the red mark was due
only to the scratching Of the rope
on the skin.
The body of Skates is still in the
river.
