Japan Quotes Koo
AS Advising China
To Enter the War
Minister to u. S. Represent
ed as Giving Three Reasons
for Fighting Germany
Prom The Tribune BuresuI

Washington, June 23.-Dr. Y. K.
Wellington Koo, Chinese Minister TO
the United States. is represented in
the japanese press as having advised
his government TO declare war upon
Germany for three reasons. As quoted
in Japan, Minister Koo's reasons are:
First, the United States declaration
Of war on Germany has evoked similar
steps by Central American countries,
one after another. Moreover. there
is a constant rumor that Austria Will
conclude separate peace with the
Entente. This being the situation, It
will not be long before Germany will
have TO sue for peace, and If China
enters the war, she can thereby hasten
the day of peace, which will increase
the prestige Of the country. On the
other hand, If China hesitates and
loses this grand opportunity, then 1t
will be in an awkward situation when
peace Is concluded.
The second reason is that the United
States government has asked Congress
for seven billion dollars for military
purposes. Three billions Of this money
will be used to aid the Allies of the
United States, but there is pro-
vision that only those countries which
enter the war before the passage OF
the appropriation bill will be per-
mitted 10 share the money. So CHINA
must hasten her decision Of war on
Germany in order that she, too, may
have the assistance of the United
States in carrying on war on Germany.
"The third reason is that If China
follows the example Of the United
States and declares war on Germany
then il will facilitate her borrowing
money from American iinanclers ana
a, the same time 10 would not create
any misunderstanding among the In
tente countries, because the United
States and the Entente have common
object in fighting Germany. As long
as China pursues that common object,
j.. does not make any difference how
she does II, whether in association with
the United States or with the Entente:
II the government wants 10 be careful
in taking such a step, u can explain
the reason 20 the Entente powers alter

u. s. Must Make
Up for England's
Shortage of Men
Industries Combed for
Every Available Man
to Fill Gaps

London. June 23.- Man power again
looms large.
Months ago Sir William Robertson
called for 100000 men by July ! 10
make good the wastage. To obtain thGt
number the War Office IS combng
many industries and is finding much
good material.
Last April an act was passed enabl-
ing the military authorities to re-
examine all men previously medically
rejected or discharged or released from
naval or military service on medical
grounds" There were two principal
qualifications. The first was that the
act was not to apply to agricultural
workers or to any soldier discharged
in consequence of disablement re-
ceived in battle; the second, that no
man should be called up within SIX
months Of his discharge from the
army.
About a million men are affected by
the act and there is considerable hard
ship inflicted in some cases. Through
out the country there has spread a
feeling of injustice, resulting IN
Thursdays lively debate in the House
OF Commons, during which the govern
ment had to make concessions.
The chief concession consisted IN a
decision to appoint a parliamentary
committee TO examine the working Of
the act. The debate emphasized the
costlneSs Of the war at the end Of
nearly three years. II is a cost that
is constantly growing. There Is no
secret about IT.
Last month the Daily Telegraph
printed casualty lists aggregating just
short of 100000, Of which approx
mately $500 were those of officers.
Naturally, there is nothing to indicate
where these men were killed or
wounded. Though Britain has more
soldiers in the field to-day than a year
ago, and she is operating on much
wider front. her losses are smaller
both relatively and actually.
Then, take the latest figure of the
daily expenses of the nation. Bonar
Law recently put it at $40,O00,OOO. OF
twelve hundred millions monthly.
One speaker in Thursdays debate
said that there were 073, 900 miners Of
military age in Wales, and that $4,000
were under thirty years. But the very
fact that the government has not called
them up shows how necessary they are
at present. If further evidence were
needed. it might be found in the coal
shortage here and in France.
Similar conditions exist in the. trades
and industries. The army will event
ually get the reserves it requires, but
at the expense of the industries.
All this is Of vital Importance to
America, because, as the Allies in
terests are pooled, the United States
must make good the shortage, whether
it is in industrial products or man
power.

that the opinion of responsible men IN

to war casually and only halt-hearted-
