DOOR NOT SLAMMED
TO THE DOMINIONS
Reported Charge of Premier
Hughes Of Australia Denied
at Washington.
CLOUD ON CONFERENCE
First Misunderstanding on
Disarmament Made Posi-
BILE by Press Despatch.
Special Despatch to THE New YORK HERALD

Speciol DESPATCH to THE New YORK HERALD.
New York Herald Bur~su,
washington, ID. c., Oct. ~
Premier Hughes of Australia became
the centre Of an international sensation
to-day following publication of press re-
ports crediting him with saying the
United States had slammed the door In
the face of dominion representation in
the arms conference.
No confederation OF the Australian
Premiers reported utterance had been
received here, and the only official COM
ment was expression of disbelief that he
had made the statements accredited to
him. In spite Of this disbelief the re-
port itself brought forth prompt reac-
ton in Administration circles. where 1t
was quickly realized that 1t might be
harmful as well as misinformlng.
1t was made clear in official quarters
that the United States not only had not
slammed the door, In the face OF do
minion representation but has made II
clear 1t will welcome It.
There were evidences OF keen pleas
ure over the fact that press reports In
dicate that the British Government will
enlarge its delegation from four to six
or seven persons, thus making it possi-
hle for the Dominions to participate
through their own spokesmen in deter
mining the attitude of the British En-
pire.
While 1t is not believed that Premier
Hughes could have uttered the senti-
ments charged to him. their mere pub
lication had an Importance of their
own which Is not overlooked. 1t reprr-
sented the first possibility Of misunder-
standing in the conference itself.
The incident has served to bring ou.
additional facts relative to the manner
in which the character and size of the
delegation has been determined. The
United States never has taken a dog
matte attitude as to the number Of dele
gates. Asked for it's opinion as to how
many should be included it originally
suggested approximately seven, but with
readiness to conform to this views OF
other countries.
The British Government it is UNDER
stood, regarded smaller number ad-
visable. even smaller than four. The
of the United States was agree
ment, but with the amendment that the
American delegation could not be less
was felt of including Senate representa-
tion from both political parties and be-
cause of the desirability of having Mr..
Root upon the delegation.
While the United States has fixed the
number of its own delegation at four. it
has made clear there was no reason why
other Governments should not have a
larger delegation If they so desired. The
respective number of delegates Is en-
tirely a matter of convenience TO the
countries represented. The number will
not alter the voting strength of the
Powers. as in all matters requiring a
vote they will vote as a unit.
The attitude of this Government
toward Dominion representation has nat
urally been and is one of delicate reserve
because 1T is realized that how the Brit
ish Government shall be represented at

CHINA THINKS JAPAN
NOT SINCERE ENOUGH.
Declares Proposals Incompati-
BILE With Treaties With
Foreign Powers.
Topples HOPES DELUDED
Says They Inadequately Prove
Sincerity Of Japan's Desire
for Settlement.
BIZ the ASSOCIATED Press.

PEKIN, Oct THE text of China's
reply TO the proposals of the Japanese
Government concerning settlement Of
the Shantung controversy was made
public to-day. 1t declares that Japan
has advanced no plan for a settlement
which is fundamentally acceptable to
the Chinese Government ana people, and
that the Chinese Government feels that
there is much in the new proposals
still Incompatible with the Chinese Gov
ernment's repeated declaration. the
Chinese peoples hopes and aspirations
and the principles laid down in Chinese
treaties with foreign Powers
1t is added that If the proposals COM
prise Japan's final concessions 'they
surely inadequately prove the sincerity
OF Japan's desire to settle the question"
The note was handed to the Japanese
Minister yesterday by Dr. Yen, the Chi
nese Foreign Minister. The Japanese
Minister said at the time that he re-
ceived the document in a purely un-
official capacity ard that he would re-
turn it to Dr. Yen If it was unacceptable
to Japan.
The text Of the memorandum in part
says:
THE reason China has not until now
been able to commence negotiations with
Japan (regarding Shantung) Is because
the bases of Japan claims to negotiate
are all of nature most Objectionable
to the Chinese Government and the Chi
nese people, or are such which they
never have recognized.
"On September Japan submitted GER
tain proposals for readjust,nent Of the
Shantung question in memorandum
cor ~, do <l>o
Chinese Government feels there is much
In the new Japanese proposals still in
compatible with the Chinese Govern
ments repeated declarations and the
principles laid down in Chinese treaties
with foreign Powers.
III these proposals are to be regarded
as Japan's final concessions they surely
inadequately prove the sincerity of ia
pans desire to settle the question:
The memorandum then takes up the
points OF the Japanese offer, but does
not answer Section (promising that
japan will relinquish preferential rights
acquired by treaty in Kiao-chau) and
Section (Which outlines details for the
carrying out OF certain provisions OF the
proposals, which are believed to be ac-
ceptable to China). Regarding the other
points me memorandum, referring to
them by sections. says:
Section 1.-The Kiao-Chau lease ex-
pired c1 China's declaration of war
against Germany. Since Japan only
militarily occupies the leased territory.
the latter should be entirely returned to
China Internationally. There can be no
question of any leasehold.
Section 2-Regarding the opening of
kiao-Chau bay as a commercial port for
trade convenience and the residence of
nationals OF all friendly Powers, China
already on previous occasions has COM
municated this intention to the Pow
ers. Vested rights of foreigners
obtained through legitimate processes,
under the German regime shall az
course, be respected. but those obtained

its delegation should be made UP.
Elihu Root is expected in Washington

Japan's Alternatives.

With the lesson of Russia fresh In
the minds of her statesmen Japan sees
one of two alternatives ahead. Either
she must be given room to expand or
collapse as did Russia. BY r~ ng
China to accept the war made "twen-
ty-one demands" minus group FIVE"
Japan has already inserted the OPEN
ing wedge for the economic and per-
haps political control OF that country
Japanese business men who take
thei- cue from the Elder Statesmen
who actually govern the Land Of the
Rising Sun, exhibit deep resentment
against tho interference" of the
United States with the plans Of Japan
for special privileges In the mainland
Of Asia. The Japanese newspapers
and doctrinaires justify this resent
ment on the ground that the United
States has offered immediate resis-
tance to the ambitions of Japan to
strengthen trade relations with the
Latin American countries In the West
ern Hemisphere. They assert that
there is no difference between the two
propositions. but contend that the
United states should mind It's own
business" just as II insists Japan shall
keep it's hands of Central and South
American countries.
The attitude of Japan in the Yap
incident and her opposition to the in
trusion of American interests in China
are justified by Japanese business mer
and politicians on the ground that the
United States would adopt q similar
attitude If japan attempted to assert
similar rights In any part of the
Western Hemisphere.

The Day Kimbali Hospital is unus- ually busy. Not only is the old part of the building filled, but there IS an overflow in the new addition. which is evidence of how badly the extra space has been needed.

 What is now termed the "old' part of the hospital is to undergo thor ough renovation and is to be painted throughout, including the furniture. To do this the Woman's Board has appropriated $1,500.
 The old kitchen is being made over into a dispensary and the new kitchen in the basement is now in use.
