CHINA AND ISSUES WARNING

Now York, Sept. 29.-'Proclaiming a
Monroe doctrine OF the Far East, Wis
count Ishii, Head OF the Japanese
mission to the United States, warned
the nations of the world tonight that
his country will not tolerate aggres-
sions against the territory or inda-
pendence of China.
At the same time he pledged Japan
not to att mpt similar aggressions on
her part
Speaking at formal dinner in
honor of the imperial ENJOYS visit 10

V;scount Ishii said, ''but at no time
in the past and at no time in the
future do we or will we seek to take
territory from China or to despoil
China of her rights"
Policy of "HandS OF"
Then with dramatic earnestness
he expounded the hands off" policy
of his government.
I'VE wish to be and always to con-
tinue to be-" he declared, "the sin
cere friend and helper of our neigh
Dor. for We are more interested than
any one else, except China, in good
government there. Only we must at
all times for self protection prevent
other nations from doing what We
have no right to do.
eve not only will not seek to as
sail the integrity or the sovereignty
of China, but will eventually be pre-
pared to defend and maintain the
integrity and independence Of China
against any aggressor. For We know
that our own landmarks would be
threatened by any outside invasion
or Interference in China"
While he boldly warned the world
aeainst anv attempt to invade the
rights OF China, Viscount Ishii prom
ised with equal earnestness that the
door to legitimate trade in China
reved would be closed by Japan This
declaration was cheered by the 1,ooa
public men. bankers. merchants and
captains OF industry who heard him.
China's Door Open

and the drunks are considerably

sold is also Of a meaner quality, not-
'withstanding the exorbitant prices,
than the liquor which was sold OF
yope. In fact, some of it could hardly
be classed as liquor at all, except that
it seems to satisfy some violent crav-
ings, or, at least, to bring about a
condition where the receptacle, who
was human being before he drank
it. does not know whether he still has
any craving. And money is still be-

The truth of the matter is that Co.

Wilson to Raise
Pershing to Rank
OF Lieut.. Genera
Promotion to Come When he
Assumes Command in
France, Army Hears

Washington, June s. Major General
Pershing. it is understood in army cir
cles. is to be promoted to lieutenant
general being the first to hold that
rank since Lieutenant General Miles
soon after the arrival of his expedition
in France.
Army officers, in discussing the situ
alton to-day, said that it has been
rointed out already that the forcc
which General Pershing will command
will considerably exceed a division; IN
decd. that il will more nearly approach
an army corps.
It is pointed out that with such a
force General Pershing will be actually
in command Of more troops than many
lieutenant generals in either the trench
or British army, as nominaliy there
IS a major general in command OF eacn
division, while the Pershing command
will soon reach the dimensions OF an
army corps.
This rank is equal TO that Of wee
admiral in the navy, which was created
for the same purpose that the rank o.
lieutenant general is desired. so thai
American officers in command OF equa
eorces would not be outranked by Off

Leader of American
Air Force Noted for
His Daring Exploits

Lieutenant Whiting, commander OF
the American expeditionary aero force.
which landed in France yesterday, will
probably seek for new adventures and
thrills on the battlefelds Of Europe.
For the head Of hundred lighting men
of the air, he has already sampled most
of the opportunities for courage and
daring that the United States Navy
holds in time of peace.
The lieutenant was only an ensign.
fresh from Annapolis, wnen he stamped
his name, together with the name Of
the submarine POrpoise, on the annals
of the navy for all time.
He and his craft were in Cavite flar-
Dor, when, during a discussion. he
voiced the opinion that men could be
rescued from a foundered submersibe
by shooting them out through the tor
pedo tubes. His associates laughed at
him. and called him crazy" where
upon young Whiting climbed aboard
his craft. dropped her into sixty feet
of water, climbed into the torpedo tube
and ordered his crew 20 ire.
A moment later he appeared on the
surface of the bay and swan ashore.
He had proved his contention.
That was in 1909. when the U-boat
was still doubtful and uncertain
weapon. During that same year Whit
ing and the Porpoise proved further
that an under-sea boat could pass
through a gale that would swamp a
far stronger ship by the simple proc
ess of submerging.
He was caught in typhoon OF the
Philippine Islands, and lived through
il by diving and staying under until
the storm had driven past.
For these feats he was advanced 10
the grade OF lieutenant, and became
head of the third division of the sub
marine hotills. In 1914 he forsook
the water for the air and was as
signed TO aeronautical work. Since
then he has become one OF the most
daring and most finished aviators in
the service. He was born in Msssa-
chusetts and was appointed 10 the
academy from New York.
In 1919 he married Miss EHns ".

Weather Proved Drawback

Though the Department OF Agricul-
ture reports slight increase in spring
wheat acreage over 1916. experts de-
clare that this would have been nearly
doubled had spring conditions favored
planting the wheat states.
The increased acreage is almost alto
gether due 10 favorable planting con-
ditions in the Pacific and Northwestern
states. In North Dakota the acreage
plau.cd jh's year is practically the
same as in 1915. The South Dakota
acreage is shown as about 5 per cent
decrease over last years. while Mime
sofa shows about the same percentage
OF increase. The state of Washington,
however. shows p 80 per cent increase
over 1916.
The fruit situation, according to to-
days report, shows better than aver
age crop, though not bumper produc-
tion. The peach crop is reported at
10000 900 bushels, as compared with
36000,000 in 1916. The apple produc-
tion will total about 25,000.000 barrels,
practically the same as in 1916.
An analysis of cereal prices shows
some remarkable increases over 1915.
June ! quotations on wheat for the
entire country were S2.4S, as compare;
with 81 year ago. Oats were quoted
at 20 cents, as compared with AZ cents;
barley at Sl.19, as compared with so
cents; rye at Sl.S3. as compared with
50 cents in 1916. The most marked in
crease in wheat prices is shown in
the reports from the State of Wash
ington. where spring wheat is quoted
at s2.37 a bushel, as compared with 64
cents in 1915.
