LAPS ASK SPECIAL
 POSITION IN CHINA
IMPRESSION PREVAILS THAT ENGLAND AND FRANCE RECOG-
 NEED IT SINCE THE WAR.

Tokyo-The question of China. as it exists between the United States and Japan, has been brought sharply to the surface by the note of the American government to China eX- pressing regret over the dissension in that country and the desire that tran quility and political coordination be established. Regarding the future of China as interwoven intimately with her own, Japan has long observed a fundamental policy the goal of which is to procure recognition by the pow CTS of special and paramount posi- tion for Japan in China.
 The impression prevails in Tokyo that Great Britain and France. since the outbeak of the war, have tacitly extended measure of recognition of special privileges to Japan, and tho present issue appears to involve the question whether the United States will abandon the prerogative of inde' pendent action in China, and hence forth consult Japan. The following statement of Japans position is ful: nished to the Associated Press in Well-informed quarters
 When Japan and the allies were about to urge Yuan Ski Kai (the late president Of Chinal to postpone 1e storation of the monarchy, the United States was consulted beforehand and invited to participate The United States eplied that it favored a repub lie, but could not interfere in the in ternal affairs of China.
 ''The recent American note, which virtually was interference, and was sent without consulting Japan, caused surprise. It was not until afterwards that we were notified and invited lC participate.
 We are making efforts to assure the people that the United States had no intention of sighting the Japan ese, but they are extremely sensitive to anything touching China, whfct they deem a supremely vital question of Japan's future"
 The Foreign Office declines to dls cuss what action will be adopted to ward America.

SAYS LIBERTY LOAN
 IS OVER SUBSCRIBED
OFFICIALS ESTIMATE THE TOTAL WILL REACH AT LEAST
 $2,5oo, 100000.

Washington.-The Liberty loan has been tremendously oyersubscribed. When the books closed treasury off cials estimated that the total would reach at least $2,500,000, 900, possibly $3,000. .000, ,000
 Reports by telephone and telegraph from every section of the country told of an avalanche of small subscrIp- tions at the last moment. Scores of small investors were standing in line at hundreds of banks throughout the country during the final hour. Tue small subscribers apparently had re sponded with an enthusiasm that eX- ceeded the most sanguine hopes If officials
 Swelling the huge total by millions came the belated subscriptions of the banks that held back till the last mo- ment The clerical forces of virtual ly every reserve bank were practically | buried under a landslide Of eleventh hour subscriptions. Because of this situation the magnitude of the coun- try's response may not be measured for several days.
 Millions of dollars, it was estimated were transferred by telegraph from i national and state banks and trust companies to federal reserve banks as the last-minute response of the small | investors.
 Four banner districts-New York, l Chicago. Cleveland and Boston-ap- peared on the face of returns to have subscribed the full $2,000.00o,- GOO offering alone. New York, as was expected, led all other districts by a margin of more than double the neXs highest. This estimate was made on the basis of reports an hour before the 1 books closed in the East.

Why She Is Hated.

Governor Whitman said at ban quet in Albany:
 "Germany has the whole world against her because she has attempted to change the eternal Verities. The eternal verittes-that you mustn't sink Il hospital ship, that you musn't mur- der babies, that you mustn't betray yeur trusting friends, and so forth and so on-all these things Germany has tried fo change. But she has tried ill vain.
 ''Germany reminds me of the chap who used to hold out dollar or two from his envelope every pay day. His wife suspected him, and to make suspicion sure. she got q ready reckon CT to check him up by.
 The next pay day, after consulting the ready recllOner, she said:

MACEDONIAN n BE
 NEW WAR CENTER
OFFENSIVE UNDER GENERAL SARRAIL'S FORCES SEEMS
 TO BE NEAR.
LITTLE FIGHTING IN FRANCE
Russian Army and Navy Are Giving More Evidehce of Aggressive In- tent By Increasing Activities
 in Various Sectors.

New Nork.-Ihe massing of entente troops in Thessaly. south of the cen ter of the line now held by General Sarrails forces, taken in connection with the withdrawal Of British forces on the extreme eastern wing, along the lower reaches of the Struma river. apparently is an indication that big events are in the making in the Mace donian theater in an attempt to re- take Serbia or at least that portion Of it as far as Nish, through which runs the famous Berlin-C Constantine pie railway.
 Along the Vardar and Morava river valleys, northward through Serbia, undoubtedly would prove easier ground over which to operate than northward along the Struma and through western Bulgaria to the june ton of the railway at Sofia. No im- pediment is being placed in the way of the troops that have been landed in Thessaly and with the departure of former King Constantine from the country, the Greeks are said to have become more friendly to the entente cause by placing their adherence in the provisional government of Eliph- therios Venizelos
 Although on the eastern wing the British have given up many villages which they previously burned, they are holding tightly to the bridgehead position on the left bank of the river Struma in the Lake Tahinos-Butkovo section, northeast of Saloniki. That the retirement of the British was vol untary is indicated by the Bulgarian official report, which does not men, tion any fighting. There has, how ever, already been some activity on the part of the British in the Nardar- Lake Doiran sector, but Sofia reports that the attempt made by them to ad- vance near Daulti was repulsed.
 East of Arras, on the front in France, the British troops have been l compelled to fall back from advanced positions before an attack delivered by the Germans. which was covered i by heavy bombardment. OtherWis there has beer no fighting anywhere in France or Belgium, except by raid ing parties and by the artillery wings of the opposing forces.
 The Russian army and navy are giv- ing more evidence of aggressive in. tent, by increasing activities in vari- ous sectors, notably Nolhynia and Ga lacia.
 The Russian naval arm has been so largely in evidence in Baltic waters that Berlin announces that il has been found necessary to carry out ex tenstve air raiding operations on Rus sian bases in this area.
