JAPAN WILL RECALL
TROOPS AFTER WAR
Military Agreement Merely For Dc
fensc Against German Invasion
Disclosure Made By Notes.

Picking, Thursday. May 80 (By the
ASso ciated Press) The Japanese
foreign Office announces that the re-
Gently signed convention between
China and Japan is limited to join
the military operations in defense
against the German menace in ST.
IBERIA. Notes exchanged between the
two countries on March 25 were made
public today by the foreign office.
The first, from China to Japan, says:
THE means and condition of the
cooperation of the army and navy of
China and Japan are compatible with
a common military defense against
an enemy, for the realization of
which plans may be decided upon
by mutual agreement of both coun-
tries. They will be arranged by the
military and naval auth critics Of both
countries who, from time to time
will consult with each other freely
and carefully upon all questions of
mutual interest and upon approval of
the governments, they will be carried
into action according to the demands
of the circumstances.
On the same date, Viscount MotOno,
/. then Japanese foreign minister, re-
piled: IT propose on behalf of my
government that the period in which
tho notes will remain in force be
determined by competent military
naval authorities of the two powers.
At the same time the imperial gov
eminent is happy to declare that
Japanese troops within Chinese ter
ritory for purpose of defensive
movements will be withdrawn COM
pletey upon the termination of the
War"
The third note was merely the
formal acknowledge nt by the
| Chinese governm ent of Viscount Mo
| tonos reply.

16 LAUNCHINGS JULY A.
Merchant Ships and Destroyers to
Glide Into Pacific.

Washington, June 3.-Launching OF
10 vessels on the Pacific Coast on
July is planned in response to the
appeal of Chairman Hurley, of the
Shipping Board, to the country's ship
builders to celebrate Independence
Day with a heavy output of tonnage
with which to thwart the submarine.
This fact was disclosed in CORES
pondence made public by Secretary
n Wilson which is designed to refute
charges that shipworkers in the West,
and particularly riveters and wooden
ship caulkers, are not putting forth
their best efforts to speed up the ship
building program. 1t is understood
that the vessels will include merchant
craft for the Shipping Board and de-
stroyers for the Navy.
James l.. Hughes, a representative
of the Labor department, telegra pied
she secretary that he and DR.. Henry
Suzallo, president of the University of
Washington, had investigated condi-
tons on the coast and had found that
both riveters and caulkers were CO.
operating to the fullest extent in pro-
ducing maximum results. District
Representative Boyce, of the depart
ment also telegraphed from San
francisco that thorough investigation
demonstrates absurdity of any repre-
fentation regarding curtailments Of eff
fort on part Of shipworkers. Best
proof Of work being done is launch
hg Is vessels Fourth OF July.

LINCOLN VICTIMS INSURED
Dependents of Soldiers Lost on Trans
port Will Receive Liberal Allow
ances From Government.

Washington, June 3.-All of the
SO men reported lost on the torpedoed
transport Moldavia are covered by
government insurance policies and
their dependents will be paid an aver
age of about $50 "a month for 20
years. In addition those with wives,
children or dependent widowed
mothers will be enrolled for addition
al death compensation payments
ranging from $40 to SIS a month
The war risk insurance bureau has
received 2,162,021 applications from
soldiers and sailors, totalling about
$1S,O00,0 100000 and new insurance
business is coming in at the rate of
about $1o0,0O0.O00 a day.
Four officers and 20 men appear to
have lost their lives in the sinking of
the American army transport Presi-
dent Lincoln, which was torpedoed by
German submarine the morning of
May 81, while returning under convoy
from Europe While the Navy depart
ment received word that this APP
peared to be the extent of the casual
ties, it had not, up to late hour last
night, received from Vice Admiral
Sims the names Of those lost.
1t was said that the extent of the
departments knowledge on the sub
ject, aside from the announcement of
May 81 was that contained in the
additional message, on which the fol-
lowing official announcement was au-
thorized:
"a dispatch to the navy department
today states that four officers and
twenty men are believed to be missing
in the sinking of the President Lin
coin. AS soon as a list Of the mis-
sing is received and checked it will
be made public.
1T was not expected that the cas-
ualty list would be large because the
department had been advised that the
transport was slow in sinking and it
was believed that the conveys under
the circumstances must have rescued
most of the passengers and crew not
killed by the explosion of the
torpedo

WOMEN DEFY KAISER
Bombing of Hospitals Will Not Hinder
Campaign for Red Cross Nurses,
Miss DeIanO Says.

Washington, June 3.-The deliber-
ate bombing of hospitals by German
f1iers will not deter American nurses
from seeking service in France. said
Miss Jane A. Delano, director OF the
department of nursing Of the Red
Cross, In a statement today
THE present bombing Of Red
Cross hospitals just as our drive to
obtain military nurses begins may be
8 coincidence" said Miss Delano. off,
however, the Germans believe that
such methods will have any effect in
lettering American nurses from vol
teering for hospital work, they are
badly mistaken.
Tactics of frightfulness will mere
ly send more and more Of them to
back up our men. If it is the Ger
mar intention to frighten our women
they will find that American women
do not know how to retreat any moro
than do our boys in Picardy. The en-
ro1lment of nurses will be American
womanhoods answer

PEACE OFFENSIVE URGED
Now Is the Time to Make Tcrms in
Opinion of German Press, Including
Pan German Organ.

Amsterdam June SIS new
German peace offensive coming?" is
the question now being asked in poll
teal circles. What has often been ad-
vocated in German socialistic and radi-
cal organs, namely, Germany should
clearly and unequivocally state the
terms upon which she would be will
ing to make peace, is now urged even
by the Pan-German Krcuz- Zeitung,
which judges the present moment as
a most opportune one.
This Berlin newspaper says with
emphasis it is not a peace offer but g.
peace offensive that is wanted, and it
believes the recent German military
. successes cannot fail to add weight to
any concrete proposal Germany may
make now, only, the newspaper adds
it should be made publicly.
There need be no apprehension. the
newspaper asserts, that peace often
sive will weaken Germany's political
position and it argues that those who
would leave the entire issue to the
sword take too narrow a view of this
war and show no understanding Of it's
political consequences.
The Kreuz-Ieitung goes on pointing
out that the absence of a definite gov
eminent peace program is destroying
internal unity, while the lack of poll
teal activity in the interval between
battles tends to hamper the conduct
of the war and leads to all sorts of
rumors about disagreements between
the government and the army COM
manders.
The government is called upon by
the Kreuz-Zeitung to appoint imme-
diately q commission consisting Of q
q colonial
representatives of the army and navy
and an international jurist, under the
presidency of an able diplomatiSt to
work out Il complete peace program,
but it urges that time presses and that
it must be done quickly. A definite
program after consultation with party
leaders, the newspaper asserts, I'M
| doubtedly would insure majority IN
| the Reichstag, as was obtained for
| the policy Of unrestricted submarine
warfare.

IRISH FISHERMEN SUNK,
Submarine Destroys ~ Vessels in
Fleet Of 80 or 40.

London, June 3-Twelve of a fleet
of Sc or 40 fishing vessels which left
Irish ports on the night of May 80
were sunk by a German submarine,
says a Belfast dispatch to the Daily
Telegraph. The submarine suddenly
appeared in the midst of the fleet and
ordered the fishermen to take to the
boats and row ashore. 1t then sank
vessels by Smelling them.
The fishermen say the submarine
was interrupted in it's work and sub
merged which probably prevented the
destruction of the entire fleet The
fishermen lost. all their gear, but
there was no casualty.

MUST RUSH AIRPnANES.
Destruction in Battle New Message to
United States.

Washington, June 3.-The pub
lished figures showing that 1,137
airplanes were downed in May on
both sides in the fighting on all
battlefronts, Of which $50 were en-
envy planes, have excited much in
terest in military circles here as en-
phasizing the growing superiority OF
the Allies in the air and also of
What may be expected when America
really comes into the struggle in
force
But there is another feature that is
not overlooked here. and that is the
shortening life of the airplanes, now
put at not more than one month.
This has compelled a revision of all
the early estimates regarding the
number Of machines necessary to
give the overwhelming superiority
counted upon to blind the Germans
and win the war.
Reports reaching here lately have
been to the effect that Great Britain
was now producing airplanes at the
rate of 5000 a month. while France
had attained a production of 1000.
r his would mean an annual produc-
ton for these two countries of $4,000,
or nearly three times as many planes
as was called for in Americas orig
inal aviation rogramme-22,0 600 ma
chimes. Instead of the $4,000 ma
chimes promised the first year only
SOTO have thus far been completed
It is regarded as doubtful that this
country can exceed the present rate
Of production in Great Britain before
rext year. There are some who be-
lleve that we will be doing we'll even
ther if we are able to maintain con-
stant1y at the front $500 machines.
Figuring on the life of q plane being
only one month, this would require a
production here Of $4,000 machines a
year. However,, the addition Of $500
machines to the 5000 which, accord
ing to reports here are now being
maintained at the front by Great Brit
ain and France would be a factor Of
tremendous importance in the mill
te.ry situation, according to army Off
GERS Then. too. this rate Of produce
ton IS bound to be increased even
tually.
A year ago $4,000 airplanes was
talked about by some as sufficient to
blind the enemy" In view Of the
short life Of the airplane it is now
realized that this number is not as
big as it looks. meaning only ABOUT
4 900 machines in the air constantly.
