PEACE TERMS HAVE
SANCTION GERMANY
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

London, June 16.-Peace terms
proposed by the German majority of
socialists at the Stockholm confer
ence reached London today. They de-
rive a special interest from the fact
that their previous publication in a
German socialist paper, Vorwaerts,
proves they had passed the German
censorship. They agree with the Pc
trograd delegation of soldiers and
workmen's delegates in proposing a
peace without indemnities or annexa-
tions and repudiate any compensation
for damages suffered by the war.
They say Belgium, Serbia and other
states that lost their independence, in
Guiding Russian Poland, should regain
it. They reject the cession of Alsact-
Lorraine to France, and demand the
restoration of German colonies.

NOW BOILING
JAPAN RESENTS INTERFERENCE
OF UNITED STATES IN CHIN :,
FOLLOWS ACTION OF GREAT
BRITAIN,
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, June 16.-Japan has
taken action similar to Great BRIT
aims in refusing to associate .herseh
with the American action IN asking
factions - 0mna to compose their
differences, it was said today at the
state department. No reason was
given for the action of either ma
ton, but it is assumed that neither
felt that the American action would
be successful.
Japan is known to resent that the
United. States sent its note to China,
feeling that it disregarded the spe-
cial position Japan claims for herself
there. The whole question, from
what little is being divulged by the
state department, seems to have arts
en- from a series of misunderStand-
ings.
AS nearly as can be learned, the
United States on June 4 addressed
q friendly note to China, asking the
factions to compose their differences,
At about the same time Great Brit
ain. France and Japan were invited
to take some steps toward the res
toration of order in China.
On June 8 the first public init
nation of Americas actual action
came in a dispatch from Picking
quoting the text of the American
note, given out apparently by the
/ Chinese authorities.
On June there appeared in the
/ Toxic Asahi, not this real text, but
/ a dispatch from New York consist
! ing of newspaper comment. The Jap
| anese were doubly disturbed, first
| b-~the seeming direct interference il
J China's affairs and second by tht
/ knowledge that America had already
! taken her action while negotiation.
! were apparently still under way.
Today again from a foreign source
/ comes the first word Of the Origina
! American suggestion that other gov
/ ernments associate themselves m TIL
move to restore order in China. Grea
Britain is reportedsto have expressed
general agreement with America
policy, but to view the situation from
a slightly different angle.
Meanwhile, China is understood no
to have replied to the American note
though reports indicate chat it wa
''favorably received"
The state department is not max
ing public any Of its dispatches aOou
the revolution, but news dispatChc
Indicate that General Chang HsuT
head Of the military faction, has al
rived as a dictator in Picking follow
ing President Lis compliance wit
his demand to dissolve parliament
+ Whether this means the restorat;o
of a monarchy limited at, is uncel
tain.
France, also asked by this countr
to take action, has not vet formal
, replied. but it is expected that 81
will follow the United States no
, that Great Britain and Japan hay
, refused to do so.

SAYS FIRE TO BOIL
EGGS, NOT BURN STATION

An affidavit for the arrest Of
Douglas Navarro, of Warrington, was
sworn out Yesterday by federal au-
thorities and yesterday afternoon he
was brought to the city and locked
in the county Jail, charged with set
ting fire to the naval reservation. He
will be given a preliminary hearing

built. the boy stated that he started
a small blaze over which he boiled
some eggs. When he had finished
he states that he forget to put the

a wood pile, endangering one of the
buildings at the yard. A deliberate
intention to fire the station, he de-
MES and stoutly maintains that hi
did not intend to burn the yard.

STRANGER FACES A
CHARGE OF STACKER

Alex. Siegel is the name given by &
stranger arrested yesterday by police
authorities as a dangerous and sus-
pfcfOus character, and later on it de-
veloped that though within the age
limit, he failed to register on June ;.
The young man is said to have reg
istered for enlistment at the naval
recruiting station during the day, but
will probably be called on to explain
the reason for his failure to register
for selective draft.
Siegel, arriving here a few days
previously, engaged in singing late
popular songs as a demonstration for
the publishers. 1t is said that he
informed the officers yesterday kat
his home was in New Jersey, and it
is understood that federal officials
traced him from that point when it
was shown that he had failed to reg
lister there.
