State Objections; American

PEKING. Wednesday, October e.
The British, French and Russian min
listers today notified the Chinese gov
eminent that China's assumption that
the countries represented by the min
listers had expressed satisfaction with
the proposed gold currency issue was
altogether wrong. The ministers strong
ly emphasized the objections Of their re-
spective countries.
The American government, although
it did not associate its memorandum
with that of the other ministers, also
expressed disapproval of the bond
issue. The Japanese government,
while it was identified with the original
protest. has taken no, further action.
The Chinese government, on the as
sumption that the allies approved Of
the project, has opened negotiations
with Japan for loan OF 10000, 900
yen to finance the proposed gold note
issue.

LONDON, October 1s.-The new Ger
man government is attempting to
force the military authorities to COM
ply with the demands Of the President
regarding evacuation.
The army is no longer destroying the
villages, and most of the inhabitants
are being allowed to remain in their
homes, though many have fed east
ward fearing bombardment. Bridges
and roads are still being mined by the
enemy. but under the rules Of warfare
this IS permissible.
Perhaps the German government in
tends to eliminate unnecessary vio-
lence in the conduct Of the war in the
hope of smoothing over past outrages.
An uncorroborated Dutch report
says that the Germans have greatly
restricted their submarine warfare,
but this may be explained by the loss
of the Flanders bases and the bad
weather at sea.
However, all signs point to reforms
in German fighting methods, and the
government Is apparently able to en-
force its will on the army leaders.
