Japan Delays China's
War Declaration
By Ralph H. Turner.

CUnlted Press staff correspondent
Tokyo, April 12.-(By mail. Actual
participation by China with the allies
in the war against Germany is being de-
layed by Japan s attitude towards three
proposals made by China to the allies.
This statement may be made on the
authority Of members of the constitu
tional opposition to the Terauchi min
istry and is based upon admissions by
high japanese officials.
Chinese diplomats, in pressing the
three proposals, are showing themselves
more astute than in some of their form
er diplomatic dealings, in that they
make declaration of war contingent
upon the acceptance of these proposals.
But the date is not far distant when
the Peking government actually will
join hands with the entente powers and
the United States in an actual state of
warfare against the Teutons.
Allied diplomats in Peking who have
been urging China to enter the war
would prefer to consider her three re-
quests apart from the main issue of
joining them in the conflict
China's three conditions are:
.
enues, with a general increase;
Postponement Of payment of the Box
er lndemnities, and
Cancellation of the rule which prohib
It's Chinese soldiers entering foreign
concessions at Tientsin.
China, it is definitely known, made
these proposals when the decision to
break with Germany was reached on
march IA. President Ii Yuan-hung and
ms ms cabinet consider it vital that these
three propositions be settled favorably
before China declares war.
Right here is where Japan enters with
her objections. While the other en-
tente nations seem ready to agree to
most or all Of these propositions, Japan
considers them such as seriously to af.
iect her welfare. Business interests

Hourless Carried
$4,000 Insurance

LAUREL, Md, Oct. 19.-When the
great -year-olds Hourless and
Omar Khayyam walked to the post yes
terday in their great match race only
about four men knew how heavily the
colts were insured. Hourless carried
$50 900 and Omar Khayyam 100000, a
total of 100000.
Captain Duhain, Of the Pinkertons,
and the agent Of the insurance COM
pany, fearful that an accident might
happen to the horses, guarded them
carefully in the parade and told the
throng lined up along the fence rail not
to wave their hands or hats as the
horses passed.
While this is big insurance for
horses, il fails to represent their real
value. August Belmont would not part
with Hourless for 100000 and Wilfred
Viau laughed when this sum was men
toned to him at Saratoga. The insur-
ance on the Persian poet" will be IN
creased during the winter.
The horse that carries the greatest
amount Of insurance is Campfire. X. l.
Wilson placed the value Of 100000 on
him last winter after the son OF Olam-
bala had won the Futurity and retired
the best two-year-old Of the year.
Richard Carman is anxious for an
other race between Hourless and Oma!
Khayyam before the meeting ends, but
Sam c. Hildreth gave him no encour-
agement for another race. Hildreth
feels that Hourless won so decisively
that there is no question as to the
relatixe merits Of the colts.

Cornell Will Try
No Experiments

ITHACA, Oct. 1a.-The expected shift
in the Cornell line AS a result OF the
poor showing the varsity made against
Williams here last Saturday has not
yet materiallized, and it is highly prob
able now since the coaches have let
same men play throughout the week
that no changes will be made for the
big home game of the fall-that WIN
Colgate tomorrow.
Doctor Sharpe still has Reuter- at
centre; Huntington and Swanson at
guards; Ackernecht and Wipperman
tackles, with Hartman as substitute,
and Colvin and Harris with Eisenstein
at ends. The backheld is practically
some unforeseen injury occurs to take
either Hoffman, Van Horn, Pendleton
or Carry from the game.
The Cornell line worked fairly well
against the 47th Regiment team from
Syracuse Tuesday, despite the fact that
Wilson. the visitors star, made many
gains through tackles. In the practice
this week the line held against the
seconds invariably, and fewer holes
were opened up than at any stage OF
the seasons training. This SO en-
couraged the coaching staff that no
shift was made.
The Colgate squad arrived in Ithaca
to-day and had some preliminary prac-
tice on Schoellkopf Field.
More stress has beeI laid on the
forward pass this week, with Colyin
doing the largest part of the receiving
business. He is rangy end and has a
good reach. This play may prove COL
gates undoing.

kind tomorrow since war was declared
last April The freshman eleven will
meet Exeter Academy in the bowl.
The freshmen have had good coach
ing, the staff including Tad Jones, the
varsity line coach; DR.. Arthur Brides,
Charley Gait, one Of the varsity guards
last year, and Charley Stewart. an
other varsity substitute.
Dimes, a former Andover star, is a
promising member OF the Yale '21 back
field, and French, formerly Of the Pom
fret School, another. Acosta, from
Lawrenceville, is a strong line player.
Walker, formerly OF Hotchkiss, showed
promise, but will probably be unable to
line up on Saturday. Baker, from
Hotchkiss, is a backheld player who Is
fast, although light.
The lightness Of the Yale class squads
has led the Yale athletic board Of con-
troll TO doubt the wisdom OF forming a
varsity squad, and it is by no means
certain that any Of the invitations. to
send elevens to Plattsburg and other
military camps will be accepted.
Practice has been allowed only three
afternoons a week Of one hour each af-

Yacht AmericaMay
Race Once More

BOSTON, Oct. 1s.-Local yachtsmen
are planning 70 fit the old America, the
yacht that brought the cup to the
United States from England, with a
rig such as she had in her palmy days
and test her speed against modern
creations of the sailing craft designer.
Saved from a lowly career as q
freighter by c. II. w. Foster and other
members OF an Eastern yacht club
syndicate, the America is destined
eventually to BIZ laid up as a marine
museum. In recent years she has lair
at South Boston bridge. The syndi-
cate that bought her to prevent her
from carrying lumber is anxious 10
see her under sail sgain as she wa
when her speed thrilled two nations.
After she won the Queens Cup she
was bought BY titled Englishmsn be
cause Of her speed and her lines re-
manned unaltered. Her hull was con
structed Of templates, so that the form
might not be changed. Again when
the yacht was rebuilt by the United
States government after being raised
from Southern river, great precau-
tons were taken to preserve the orig
inal design.
In the eighties, however. great
changes were made in hull and rig By
Edward Burgess, but the old line. were
taken of and preserved by Arthur
Binney, whose plans have been fur
nished to the syndicate.
