JAPS TO ASK j. S.
TO Join Big four
Will Be Invited to Aid in Loan
ing Funds to China

| Washington, Aug. 3O.-The Jap
anese mission is prepared to invite
the United States to become a mem
Der of the present four-power' group
| Great Britain, France, Russia and
Japan-to loan China funds for po-
litical purposes.
! A joint plan by Japan and the
| United States Is said to be unsatis-
factory to Japan, and 1t was not be-
lieved in Japanese circles that Great
Britain and France would assent to
the United States making a separate
loan. These was no question of jap
anese opposition.
Whether the state department will
consider favorably an invitation to
join the loan group is problematical
Japan desires to promote an entente
with this country respecting China.
Next to China, the two most i'm
portant subjects to be discussed at
the conferences from the Japanese
ships for Allied use and a supply Of
American steel for munition and ship
building in Japan.
Japan is expected to represent to
America that all the ships she now
possesses are needed for carrying on
her own commerce and business as
ISOLATED with the war, and that the
number of vessels she can assign to
the Allies may be best determined by
the quantity of steel Japan may OBJ
tain in America for shipbuild1ng.
1t is the Japanese view that China
will be Of comparatively little assist
ance to the Allies on the firing lines.
The greatest advantage the Allies will
obtain, it was asserted, will be in
stamping out German conspiracies in
China.
China isl supplying large numbers
of laborers to France, but this move
ment was going on before China en-
tered the war. China, in fact, is ex-
pected to reap more benefits than the
allies by joining them. She will re-
ceive, If she desires it, immediate CO.
operation in developing and training
an army and building a navy. Money
however, will be required in ample
sum to make possible these measures
But, according to a Japanese author
ity, unless the United States should
enter the loan agreement between
the powers and China, America would
be excluded from the privilege of
giving China assistance
Japan feels, it was said, that the
japanese better understand the Chi
nese character and people, and are,
therefore. better able to instruct the
Chinese soldiers, and may insist up
on being permitted to assume the
major responsibility in this regard

INFANTRY OUTNUMBERED.
Object at Verdun Was to Strike Ter
ror in Prussian Hearts.

Paris, Aug. 3O.-The number of ar
tillerymen employed in the recent
operations in the Verdun region waa
greater than the number of infantry
men put into the battle line. This
surprising fact is explained by the
correspondent of the Temps at YER
dun as being due to the difficulty Of
the gunners' tasks in addition to the
immense number of cannon. Heavy
shells had to be carried to- the guns
for hours at a stretch by men who
were compelled to wear masks which
rendered breathing difficult and OBJ
structed their vision.
The correspondent adds that the OBJ
ject of the artillery now is less directs
ed to destroying enemy guns than to
forcing the German gunners to sus-
pend service and seek shlter. Tor
this purpose, he says, gas shells are
employed largely.
