FREE SHANTUNG
WITHOUT DELAY
Will Yield Province Early
AS Possible, Toxic Pre-
mier Says.

Toxic, Tuesday, Aug. 12.-CBy
the Associated Press )-Restitution
to China of those parts OF the
Shantung province including Kiao-
Chau. now occupied by Japanese
forces, will be made without un-
necessary delay but the time re-
quired will be dependent upon the
attitude of China, said Takashi
Hara, Japanese premier, today in
answer to when actual restoration
would take place.
The premier in answering the
query of the Associated Press,
made the following statement:
MY colleague, Viscount Uchida,
minister Of foreign affairs, issued
statement on Aug. 2, in eXplana-
tion of our policy respecting the
Shantung question. That question
represents the considered opinion
of this government, and / have lit
tie to add in dealing with the same
subject.
(Viscount Uchida in his state
ment which was referred TO by the
premier, said that Japan was will
ing to restore Shantung to China
and would enter into negotiations
with the Peking government as
soon as possible after the YER
sailles treaty could be ratified by
Japan
Depends on China's Attitude.
"The question is often asked as
to when Japan will return Kiao-
Chau to China ! would point out
in reply that for the restitution Of
Kiao-C Chau, detailed arrangement
should be worked out before hand
in common accord. before the Jap
anese and Chinese governments
and that the length of time re-
quired for such arrangements de-
pends largely upon the attitude of
China In any case, we fully real
ize that it is as much in our own
interests as in the interests of
China to accelerate the conclusion
of all needed arrangements and to
effect without unnecessary delay the
restitution of leased territory
which We have solemnly under
taken"
Disturbed by L. =. Feeling.
Premier Hara and high officials
of the japanese government dis
cussed frankly with the correspond

antt-Japanese feeling" in America,
They were plainly disturbed by re-
liable reports received here show
ing uneasiness as to Japan's atti-
tude relative to Shantung as one
cause for the sentiment of discon-
tent among the friends of Japan
but felt Japan's repeated assur-
ances as to restitution with the
premier's statement TO the Asso-
ciated Press today. should clear the
air and prevent any deplorable
misunderstanding
Mllltarism TO Blame.
II is frankly admitted here that
Japan's so-called militarism is re-
sponsible for much uneasiness
abroad The opinion is expressed
that those who call Japan the Ger

departments latest note to Mexico

IL murders and indignfties of
American citizens continue the
United States may be forced to
adopt a radical change in attitude
toward that country, was the chief
topic Of interest and discussion to-
day in official and diplomatic cir
cles here. The note, made public
yesterday along with a reply from
the Mexican government, lacked
only diplomatic technicalities to
make it an ultimatum and was
couched in probably the strongest
language used in any communica-
tons between the two countries,
since the exchanges just prior to
the occupation of Vera Cruz by
American armed forces.
While no official statement was
made concerning the announce
ment at this time OF the change of
policy, 1t generally was the opinion
today that pressure from foreign
governments and demands of safety
for citizens for some protective ac-
ton hastened the announcement.
Nation Ready for Action.
It was pointed out that should
some drastic step become neces-
sary, from a military point Of view
the country is now in better shape
to act than at any time in its his
tory of long drawn out controversy
with the Mexican nation as to-
rights and privileges.
The note was presented to the
Carranza government at Mexico

STRANDED AUTOISTS
BUILD OWN BRIDGE

A party of some fifteen or twenty
automobiles built a passable Temporal
ry bridge when the right of way was
blocked by big army auto truck
which got stuck up to its hubs in clay
mud on the Rutland road Sunday alter
noon
The incident took place near the
Orren Nelson farm in Salisbury where
a gang of workman had been construct
ing a culvert through which the water
OF small stream might pass under the
road. The earth had not been filled in
over the culvert when the workmen
stopped work Saturday afternoon, and
so the autos were forced to climb down
the ditch by the side Of the road and
cross the creek over some planks which
had been placed there by the working
men. 1t was on this makeshift crossing
that the heavy army truck became
stuck and all efforts to move it were
OF no avail. Soon the road on both
sides was crowded with the passing
autoists which were unable to get past.
After spending some time in trying
to get the truck out OF the mud, the
lutoists decided that the quickest way
was to build temporary bridge over
The gap in the road. The irst attempt
Of the lmateur workmen was a failure,
and tine auto which first tried to cross
broke through the boards and narrowly
escaped serious damage. The second
bridge was better and one or two of the
lutoists passed safely over before it
broke, but the bird bridge which was
rilt more carefully and scientifically
vas a success and all managed to cross.
The autoists used stones and planks
which the workmen had left in the
'icinity.
