INTERVIEWING the FdQIcaIS with a mill
! tary dictatorship unless they drop
! their claim that one of their number
should be appointed vice chancellor.
The reichstag majority, with which the
count soleInDiy announced the other
| DAY he would now work in harmony.
IS III danger Of breaking up, with the
result OF " union of the national Iiber-
ais ana tile conservatives. Such n

| Is supposed to be subject to renewal
| every ten years.

Japan is guaranteed her price for more
American government has agreed to
! recognize .Iapan's special interests in
China and to permit the shipment to
Japan Of the supplies of iron and steel
that she needs. In return, Japan will
furnish IL great amount of tonnage for
transport purposes. will get into ac-
ton her WarShipS, numbering about
hundred and already mobilized, and
probably viii send an army to Europe.
Italy Is asking that japanese troops be
called over to help repel the invading
Tcut0ns.
Though Japans special interests in
China are to be recognized because of
cOntiguity. both nations agree to main
tain the open door and the territorial
sovereignty of China.

feat in the United States last Tuesday.
when in Chicago and New York the
Socialists were thoroughly whipped at
the polls. Supporting The Socialist

These elections were looked unon.
and rightly. as 1t test OF the loyalty of
the two largest cities in the country
Most OF the Socialist candidates were
openly anti-War men and some Of them !
in their prediction Htterances came
dangerously near the treason mark !
Hence the victory of loyalty and pa

verses have been due to lack OF team

OF the conference will be to bring
about unity Of action. For its part. the
United States seeks to- determine inst

sources cnn be- used to greatest a,lvan-
tage To defeat the common enemy.
Mr.. Lansing laid especial emphasis IN
