FRANCE PLANS
 DEEP ADVANCE
 INTO GERMANY
(By United Press)


 Lille, France, April 18.-The French ministry of war has ordered the re- call of the 1918 and 1919 army classes to the colors, and has directed the mobilization of the first army corps for immediate field service.
 French army authorities here are putting the orders into effect
 It is generally understood that the mobilization of the corps, the back bone of Frances defense in the world war, and the recall of the two classes are preparations for further advance into the Ruhr valley should Germany fail to meet the terms of the Yer sailles treay by May 1.
 British and French forces in con- junction already hold part of the valley as guarantee of indemnity payments specifced by the supreme council. Germany's persistent re- fusal and pleas for deferment of pay ment have aroused French indigna- tion to the high pitch and aggressive measures by the Briand ministry would meet the full approval of the populace.

LAPS DEFIANT
 IN CLAIMING
 YAP MANDATE
(By United Press )

Washington, April IS. - Japan's firm determination not to surrender Tap Island is stated emphatically in five notes to the United States, made public today by the department of state.
 The five notes comprise a cores pondence carried on by the state de partment and Japan during the past six months. Their publication today by the department lays bare the secret negotiations over Tap Island, which have created serious international crisis.
 Secretary Hughes announcement re- veals that not only has Japan set aside American protests against the grant of Japanese mandate over the island but has also rejected summarily the American proposal for international ization of the island.
 As announced by Secretary Hughes the American demand for information allzatlon reads in part: Even if Yap should be assigned under mandate to Japan, all other countries should have free and unhampered access 10 the island for operations in landing cables
 Japan's position is in effect, a re- fusal to permit access to the island ex- cept under permit from the Japanese government. Under the first settle ment reached at the Paris peace con- ference, the island was given to the United States as its only territorial acquisition through participation in hte war. Later the subject was 1e- opened and the supreme council fore ed to make decision between the award of a mandate to Japan or the United States. While very small in size, the island has an international importance as a base for Pacific cable lines, and has also served as coa1. ing station for American warcraft,

ARRANGEMENTS GO
AHEAD FOR BIG
DISARMAMENT MEET
Despite Japan's Confusing Reply, the
Plans Are Being Made for
Conference.

Washington, July Is. - playing for
time was the explanation accepted
here today for the vagueness of
Japan's reply to the American propos-
al for a conference to discuss dlsarm-
ament and far eastern affairs.
All other nations accepted uncondi-
tionally, but Japan's answer was con-
fusing.
Other explanations were that Japan
consented to disarmament, but refused
acceptance of the far eastern discus
sion, because of international politics,
and that by keepin gsilent on the far
eastern angle of the proposed par
leys Japan has consented tacitly to
participate in It.
Whatever the explanation, officials
of this government are going ahead
with plans for a formal call for the
conference.
There is understood to be one fac
ton in Japan which holds that If the
nation enters the discussion she will
be stripped of all she gained in the
far east, and be threatened with loss
of her position as a principal world
power.
There is another faction which holds
that only by entering the conference
can Japan relieve the suspicious OF
other nations aroused by her maneu'
yers in the Pacific.
