Country Virtually Turned Over

of Demands, Declares
Shanghai Gazette.
(By Associated Press.)

Shanghai, Wednesday. April 2S.--
The statement is made in the first
issue of the Shanghai Gazette that
the Chinese government has agreed
to new demands made by Japan,
which are of such nature that the
country has virtually been turned
over to the Japanese. The Gazette
asserts it has been informed by a
high official at Peking that the Japan
ese demands are far more serious
than those in group v of the famous
Fl demands made by Japan in 1915.
notwithstanding the fact that the
utmost secrecy is being observed"
says the Gazette, "it may be Stated
safely that the following is not far
from the true terms of the agree
ment:
"Chinese expeditionary forces sent
to Siberia shall be commanded by a
Japanese.
"Chinese police shall be organized
by Japanese officers.
Japan shall control all of China's
arsenals and dock yards.
Japan shall have the privilege of
working mines in all parts of China.
Special privileges shall be granted
to Japan in Outer and Inner Mongolia
and the whole of Manchuria."

PIONEER GRAIN
DEALER, IS DEAD

at his Office. A relapse followed and
he failed rapidly. He was 90 years
Old.
AT the time Of his death, Mr.. Mer-
riam was the head of the Merriam
and Millard Elevator company. He
had been in the grain business since
his arrival in Omaha and was one of
the first men to operate>a grain ele-
vator in Nebraska. He was the first
man to erect a grain elevator in Om-
aha and was always successful in his
business. He was one of the incor-
porators of the Omaha Grain ex-
change and was one of the associa-
ton directors for many years.
Mr.. Merriam was prominent in re-
publican politics and was leader in
the Roosevelt wing of the party. He
was a delegate to the last national
convention of the progressive party,
held in Chicago. He was candidate
for congress on the progressive ticket
in 1912. -

HOLLAND YIELDS
TO GERMANY ON
GRAVEL QUESTION

London, April 28.--Holland has
yielded to Germany's demands con-
corning transport and the supply Of
sand and gravel, although it is ui4
derstood that the amount of sand
and gravel will be limited instead OF
unlimited, according to a. dispatch
from The Hague to the Daily Mail,
dated Sunday.
It is added that general under
taking will be required from Germany
that the sand and gravel will not be
used for military purposes.
Rumors are current in the Detch
capitol, the dispatch adds, thata DR..
John Loudon, minister of foreign
affairs, will resign. These it is said,
are based on the supposition that he
could not retain Office now that his
undertaking respecting the gravel
must be revoked.
In summerizing the situation, the
dispatch continues, it is felt that the
crisis with Germany has passed, al
though the solution is in no wise ar
ideal one for Holland.

Teutons Closing in on ypres,
Berlin Claims; French De.

st. MihieI and LuneviIIe.
(By Associated Press.)

Berling, Saturday (via London),
April 27.-The British have made a
retirement on the Flanders front be-
fore Ypres, it was announced official
ly this evening. The statement says
the Germans have advanced their line
from a point southwest of Lange-
marck -four and one-half miles north
east of Ypres) to Verlorenhoek (two
miles to the northeast Of the city,,
Hooge 1.-TWO miles to the east) and
Zillibeke (two miles to the south
east)
The statement follows:
"The English have left in our
hands further parts of the territory
in Flanders. We have reached a line
from southwest of Langemarck to
Verlorenhoek, Hooge and Zillibeke."
3 British Occupy New Line.
Berlin (via London), April 28.-The
official communication from German
headquarters today reads:
"On the battlefield of Flanders the
enemy has withdrawn to lines behind
those which he had been occupying.
South of Langemarck, he withdrew
over the Steenbach, east of Ypres, into
his positions of Autumn, 1914, and
near Zillibeke, still further behind
these.
"In close pursuit we forced the en-
erf1y many times to fight. As result
we captured Belgians and many hup
dreds of English.
"We have reached the line south
west of Langemarck, on the western
bank of the Steenbach, of Verloren-
hoek, Hooge, Zillibeke and Voorme-
zeele.
"The double hill 60, so heavily con-
tested in past years, is in our possess
sion.
There has been strong artillery
activity in the KENNEL sector. After
the repulse Of counter attacks car
ried out by the French on the even
ing of April 26 against the western
slope of the mountain, our infantry,
on its own resolve, pressed forward.
"On the northern bank of the Lys
the. enemy's thrusts failed. Here, as
in a successful engagement northwest
of Festubert, we took English pris-
oners. Strong British attacks near
Givenchy were repulsed.
"On the battlefield on both sides of
the Somme the fighting activity was
restricted to reconnaisances and
temporarily reviving duels. At Han
