About three years ago the question
Of carving a magnificent monument

begun, when the war caused the
plans to be abandoned. But now,
with the war over, the gigantic I'M

numerous demands made upon the

JAPANESE TOLD

EASTERN SIBERIA

TOXIC, Oct. 9.-Orders have been
issued by General Oh. commanding
Japanese forces in eastern Siberia, di-
recting his men to cooperate effec-
lively with American authorities in
the operation Of the trans Siberian
railroad. This is result of strong
representations made by the United
States to the Japanese government,
claiming that in sections guarded
by the Japanese troops the lives and
property of Americans have not been
adequately protected, In the event
cooperation by the Japanese troops
could not be secured, eftNis said, the

be withdrawn from Siberia and the
reason for the, step would be made
public at Washington.

situation in Siberia, and to have ex-
pressed the fear, by inference, that
the policy of Japan there might be
open to criticism as being opposed

Japanese officials seemed inclined
to minimize the gravity of the sit

been supporting General Semenoff,

have occasioned concern in allied
circles. They are said to express
belief that the question is open to

King Albert S Special

Monarch Rides in Cabin

ON BOARD KING ALBERT'S
SPECIAL TRAIN, Oct. 9.-West-
ward bound, King Albert's special
train passed through two states yes
terday, and today entered a third.
The Belgian monarch sat for hours
on the rear platform of his private
car gazing contemplatively at the
broad fields of corn, wheat and al
falfa. AS he entered the wheat belt
at Omaha, he issued a statement to
the people of the grain range telling
. them he was not unmindful of the
food they had sent to his starving
people in the desperate days of the
war.
The coming of the royal train was
heralded ahead, and at every sta
ton throngs had gathered to catch
a glimpse Of Albert, his consort and
their son. At Julesburg, Col, both
the king and queen alighted to take
brief tramp along the tracks. AL
bert walked through the train to the
engine and climbed down there for
a walk ahead. The train conductor
had not been informed of his plans,
and signaled for the special to pro-
coed. Then some one shouted,
Where is the king?" and the stop
was prolonged to take aboard the
most important passenger.
The next stop was at Sidney, where
the king and queen, from the rear
platform, shook the hands of many
townspeople, who cheered Justify.
At Cheyenne the king climbed into
the engine cab again, to sit beside
the engineer for long ride through

STRIVE AGAIN TO
UNITE FACTIONS
AMONG CHINESE

acknowledgements Of
the Associated Press.)-A definite
move to bring about peace between
the northern and southern factions
in China was made this month when
the Pekin government appointed
Wang Yi-tang, a former minister Of
finance, to head a northern peace
delegation to take up again with
the southern representatives the ne
gotiations that were broken off last
spring. At that time the north re-
jected eight demands made by the
south and so brought to an end the
Shanghai peace conference.
The eight demands Of the Canton
government comprised the following:
Abrogate all secret treaties with
Japan.
Punish the officials who negotiated
the secret Japanese treaties.
Dismiss military and civil COVER
nors of provinces who had violated
certain laws. ..
Disband the northern defense army.
Rescind the mandate Of 1917 by
which the old parliament-the body
that removed to Canton and there
set up the southern government
was declared to be dismissed.
Recognize President Hsu Shin
chang only as provisional president.
What, if any, notifications the
Canton government has expressed a
willingness to make in it's demands
have not been clearly defined.
Late. in August it was learned
that private negotiations to withdraw
troops had been in progress between
military leaders of the north and
south who apparently sought to
a peace conference of their own at
Marking. Since the Pekin govern
ment has appointed a new peace dele
gate, the opinion has been advanced
that this military conference may
not be held.
The great masses Of people In
China have scant concern with the
strife which has been disrupting the
country.
Whatever division might have ex-
listed between the masses of people
in the north and the south, was
swept away by announcement from
Paris that the city of Tsingtao and
the rights formerly held by the Ger
mans in the province of Shantung
had been awarded to the Japanese.
The whole country, north and south
saw that no action to avert the con-
sequences of the Shantung decision
could be taken with China divided
against itself and this wave Of popu-
lar sentiment grew into an important
factor for the restoration of internal
peace.
