apparently did not purchase a liberty
bond. The mayors backwardness in
the matter of inviting Marshal Joffre

that Chicago is the sixth city Of the

Yesterday, twenty-five minutes be.

REFUSES TO JOIN IN AMERICAN
PLAN TO BRING PEACE
TO CHINA.
WANTS TO Be BOSS
Resents Interest of Washington In Any
Manner Which Affects Flowery King
dom, and Claims 10 BE Sole Arbitcr
of Yellow Mans Destiny.

Washington, June 16.--Japan has
taken action similar to Great Britain
in refusing to associate herself with
the American action in asking the rival
factions in China to compose their diff.
ferences, it was said today at the state
department.
Japan is known to resent that the
United States sent its note to China,
feeling that II disregarded the special
position Japan claims for herself there.
The whole question, from what little
is being divulged by the state depart
ment. seems to have arisen from q
series of MISUNDERSTANDING
As nearly as can be learned. the
United States, June 4, addressed what
is considered a friendly note to China
asking the two fighting factions to com.
pose their differences and restore inter
nal order At about the same time.
Great Britain, France and Japan were
invited to take some steps toward the
restoration Of order in China, but ia.
pan, at least, apparently did not Under
stand that the American action had
already been taken.
First IntImatiOn.
June 8 the first public intimation Of
Americas actual action came in a dis
patch from Peking quoting the text Of
the American note. given out, apparent
~ by the Chinese authorities
June Q. there appeared in the Toxic
Ashi not this-real text, but a dispatch
sent from New York and consisting OF
newspaper comment. The Japanes,
were doubly disrupted, first. by the seem
ing direct interference in China's af.
fairs, and second by the knowledge
that America had already taken her
action while negotiations were appar.
emily still under way.
Today. again from a foreign source
comes the first word Of the orlgi.
nal American suggestion that other gov.
ernments associate themselves in the
move TO restore order in China.
Britain Is Mont COmmittal.
Great Britain is reported TO have ex.
pressed general alignment with Ameri
cas- policy. but TO view the situation
from a slightly different angle Just
what that angle is is not known. as
the fun text has not been received
here, and II is doubtful. from the fact
that all information so far has come
from abroad II II will be made public.
Meanwhile. China is understood not
TO have replied to the American note,
though reports indicate that II was
"favorably received"
The state department Is not making
public any OF its dispatches about tho
revolution. but news dispatches indi.
cate that General Chang Hsun. head OF
the military faction. has arrived as a
dictator in Peking following President
Lis demand TO dissolve parliament
Whether this means restoration OF a
monarchy. as limited at, is uncertain.
France, also asked by the United
States to take action. has not formally
replied but il is thought unlikely that
she win follow the United States, now
that Great Britain and Japan have re.
fused 20 do so.

out about s4oO,OOO,0O0 on the con-
sumption tax, and that is an offset
Tor tho increase that we have already
made So we shall end this long con-
troversy by. leaving the amount of the
revenue to be produced under the bill
at substantially $2,00o,o0o.o 900, where
we started.

cut out in the form of a consumption
tax"
The New Hampshire Senator esti
mated that under the finance COM
mittee proposition the average tax on
excess profits would be Al per cent,
which he declared was not large
enough. He said that this was 9 per
cent. less than England proposed on
such profits during the first year OF
the war. He appealed to the Senate
to vote for his amendment proposing
increases on corporation profits in ex-
cess Of those recommended by the
committee.
Senator Smith of Georgia, answer
ing Senator Hollis and urging the ac-
ceptance of the finance committee
project, declared that the. schedules
Of taxes proposed were as high as
the average business would stand.
