JAPS TO YIELD

To Refer Mandate Back to
Supreme Council
HUGHES DIPLOMACY WINS
Destroys Tokio's Hope For Support
From Allies IN Controversy
Near Crisis In
Toxic.
HUGHES DIPLOMACY WINS

Washington. The controversy be-
tween the United States and Japan
over the Island of zap is approaching
settlement and the agreement will be
in favor of the contention of this Gov
erEment.
According to this information, the
method Of settlement has been prac-
tically arranged by agreement be-
tween Great Britain and Japan will
take the position that, after all, the
dispute is one between the United
States and the Allied Supreme Coun.
Gil, from which Japan received the
mandate for Yap.
1t is known here that the vigorous
position taken by the United States
on zap was q grave surprise to
Japanese leaders, who had expected
that, once presented with an accom-
pMshed fact, the United States would
protest, but would finally accept the
situation. Instead of this, the Hard
ing Administration made the inter
naturalization of zap a question of
vital importance to the United States
Opponents of the present ministry
in Japan urged at the time the first
American note written by Secretary
of State Colby was received at Toxic
that 1t was mistake to engage in a
debate with this Government and that
the entire matter be referred to the
Allied Supreme Council at once. This
advice was rejected and the Japanese
Government not only undertook to
argue the question with Washington,
but practically questioned the veracity
Of former President Wilson's state
ment as 10 the zap reservation.
All diplomatic finesse was swept
from the question by the note which
Secretary of State Hughes wrote the
Powers on the question, which was il
effect that Mr.. Wilson's word was
good enough for this Government. He
added that whether former President
Wilson had made any reservation as
to zap or not the situation was no,
changed.
Since then Secretary Hughes action
in saving the European situation by
refusing to permit Germany to draw
encouragement from this Govern
ment in resisting payment of just
reparations, followed by the decision
to participate in the Allied councils,
has robbed Japan of the possibility of
support, in the opinion of her leaders,
according to confidential information
received here
According to the Herald's informa
ton, discussion of the question in
Japan has nearly precipitated cabi
net crisis in Toxic, its danger not be-
ing entirely averted.
The decision has been finally
reached by Toxic, however, to yield to
the logic of the situation and refer
the entire matter to the Allied Su
preme Council, and the decision will
be carried out, barring the possibility
of Japanese political exigencies, which
might require another change OF
front.

while listening to the revenue bill
debate in the Senate chamber yes
terday afternoon. Richard Fields,
captain Of the pages, sprang to his
assistance, when the Senator appeared
to be swooning, and probably saved
him from falling to the floor.
Senator Sterling's knees were so
weak when he recovered his composure
that he could not walk unassisted. He
requested to be aided to the corridor,
and from there to his office. He was
considerably improved after passing
through the subway to the Senate
Office Building, and within a few min

STRIKE FARLEY is ENDED

HARDING MAY ACT
To AVERT STRIKE
OF RAIL WORKERS
Believe President Will
Call Conference to Bring
Factions Together.

President Harding will probably
personally intervene If necessary to
effect an agreement among railroad
workers, railroad executives and
the Rauroad Labor Board to pre-
vent the threatened. strike.
This was the belief late yester-
day Of officials here who have
watched the developments in the
situation, and who were greatly
disappointed at the failure of the
Chicago conference between the
Labor Board and brotherhood lead
ers to attain definite results.
Recall Wilson'S stand.
II was the belief here the Mr..
dent Wilson did some years ago
thrcatening-bring labor and ex-
ecGtives to Washington in an effort
to reach an agreement. The result
Of that conference was a failure.
and the outcome was the forcing
through Congress OF the Adamson
eight-hour law.
II Harding calls a similar con-
ference he will have as weapons
with which to work in bringing
labor to terms:
Promise of a reduction in freight
rates, and promise to seek from the
executives assurance that they viii
not press demands for further wage
decreases.
And as weapons for use on the
railroads:
May Rush RefundinE Bill.
Promise to make every effort 60
drive through the railroad funding
measure, and possibly assurances
that the administration would sup
port repeal Of the Adamson eight
hour law.
Meantime, measures are COINS
forward to break the strike II II
occurs. Mail trains will be operated
out Of all the leading cities at the
rate Of two a day. Airplanes Will
supplement the mail train service,
but Il is realized by authorities
that the planes cannot handle more
than about 10 per cent OF the serV-
ice out Of any medium-sized city
and that one of their greatest at
tributes would be in arousinE the
spirit of the people TO help break
the strike. The planes, in otheI
words. would be used as much Tor
propaganda purposes as for mai
business.
