The local high school defeated the

left. Mccain, the left handed pitcher
for Charter Oak, pitched no hit, no
run game and at the same time per-
formed the unusual feat of striking
out twenty-eight men, this being due
to the fact that Hess, catching for the
Oak, passed two men by dropping the

Japan WILL NOT FOLLOW
LEAD OF UNITED STATES
Takes Action Similar to Great Brit
ain With Regard to
China.
NEITHER GIVES ANY REASON
Assumed. However, That Both Ma
tons Felt America Would Not DO
Successful in Persuading Rival
Factions TO Compose Differences.
rBy Associated Press.t

by ASSOCIATED fTesS.J
WASHINGTON. June l6.-Japan has
taken action, similar to Great Britain
in refusing TO associate herself with
the American action in asking the rival
factions in China to compose their
differences. II was said to-day at the
State Department. No reason was
given for the action OF either nation,
but 1t is assumed that neither felt
that the American action would be
successful.
japan Is known to resent that the
United States sent it's note to China.
feeling that II disrcEardcd the special
position Japan claims for herself there.
The whole question. from what little
is being dirulgcd by the State De-
partment, seems to have arisen from
series Of misunderstanding.
AS nearly as can be learned. the
United States on June addressed a
friendly note to China, asking the
factions 10 compose their differences.
At about the sam. time Great Britain,
France and japan were invited to take
some steps toward the restoration OF
order in China
On June S. the first public intimation
OF Americas actual action came in a
dispa tch from PckinE. quoting the text
OF the American note, given out ap-
parently by the Chinese authorities.
On June there appeared in the
Tokyo Asahi. not this real text. but
dispatch sent from New York, and
consisting Of newspaper comment.
The Japanese were doubly disturbed.
first by the seeming direct interference
in China's affairs and. second. by the
knowledge that America had already
taken her action while negotiations
were apparently still under way.
GREAT BRITAIN EXPRESSES
GENERAL AGREEMENT
To-day, again from a foreign source,
comes the first word of the original
American suggestion that other gov
ernments associate themselves in the
move to restore order in China Great
Britain is reported TO have expressed
general agreement with Americas
policy, but to view the situation from
a slightly different angle.
Meanwhile. China is understood not
to have replied TO the American note.
though reports indicate that 1t was
"favorably received"
Tho State Department is not maxi
Ing public any OF it's dispatches about
the revolution, but news dispatches
indicate that General Chang isun,
head OF the military faction. has ar
rived as a dictator in Picking, follow
Ing President LIS compliance with his
demand to dissolve Parliament
Whether this means the restoration OF
n monarchy. as limited at. is unccr-
tain.
France, also asked by this country
to take action. has not formally re-
piled. but II is thought unlikely that
she will follow the United States, now
that Great Britain and Japan have re-
fused TO do So
