JAPAN MAY WITHDRAW FROM TOXIC FARLEY Action Is Feared Unless
 Demands of Russia
 Are Modified

Tokio, Sept 22 (By the Associated
 Press)-Japan may be obliged tc
 withdraw from the Chang Chun con. ference unless Russia modifies her at- titude in a spirit of compliance ac- cordins to a statement issued today
 by the foreign office
 The Russian insistence on discus sion of the Nikolaievsk affair and the evacuation of North Saghalien al the conference is described officially
 as exhibiting a lack of sincerity Il was pointed out that Japan had con- |sented to discuss questions affecting
 European Russia after the presen, conference.
 The negotiations at Chang Chun be tween the Japanese and representa- tives of the Far Eastern republic and the Moscow soviet government are being followed with much interes, here because of indications that the
 Russian group is making every effort to obtain either directly or indirectly full political recognition of the soviet government by Japan These at- tempts seem to have failed at every point though the Japanese were obliged to modify their first position of opposition to any representation of the Moscow element in the confer ence
 After a long discussion the Japanese finally consented to admit the soviet delegate Joffe and his assistants on terms of equality with the Far East ern delegates but with the distinct understanding that the negotiations were limited to the consideration Of trade and economic matters and did not involve political recognition.
 Nothing has yet been heard official ly of the deadlock resulting from the Russian demand for immediate with drawal of all Japanese troops from Siberia including the northern DOT ton of Saghalien island.
 4 further complication is fore seen in connection with the promise of the Japanese to withdraw from other portions of eastern Siberia by October 1. This movement was un- dertaken without reference to the with the Russians and Tn execution of pledges given at the arms conference and al- ready many Japanese soldiers have been withdrawn.

smyrna Relief Committee Asks That Funds Be Added to Government $
 Appropriation For Refugees.

Athens, Sept. 22-The newly or ganized American Smyrna relief com mittee has asked the American Cham Der of Commerce for the Levant, in New York to make an appeal for public subscriptions especially from Greeks residing in the United States
 Arrangements have been made with the American Express Co to receive donations in the United States and forward them to the committee in Athens for distribution. Many of the refugees now in Greece will die unless relief is forthcoming according to members of the committee
 A committee of information has also been organized to care for the hundreds of inquiries received from America concerning the fate of rela- tives.
 The government has set aside two Greek francs 8 day for each refugee, but this is entirely inadequate, and thousands were hungry today in Ath- ems enVirons
