NELSON r. JOHNSON EXPECTED
TOBE NEXT MINISTER TO CHINA
Assistant Secretary of State
Believed Successor to
J. Van A. MacMurray.
Appointment Not to Be Made
Public Until Approved
by Marking.

1t is expected in administration circles
that Nelson T. Johnson. Assistant Sec
rotary of State in charge of Far Eastern
affairs, will succeed John Van A. Mac
Murray, who resigned recently as
Minister to China.
The name of successor to Mr.. Mac
Murray, who is to take a position with
Johns Hopkins University, will not be
announced until the Chinese have in
Dictated their approval. The name of
successor has been submitted to the
Marking government.
Expected Home Soon.
Assistant Secretary johnson, If ap-
pointed, would follow the same course
in the American foreign service to a
ministerial appointment as MacMurray,
who was Assistant Secretary when ap-
pointed Minister to China. MacMurray
is expected to return to the United
States within two months.
johnson has been in the foreign
service since his appointment as student
interpreter in China in 1907. The
China post is considered by State De-
partment officials and foreign service
officers to be one of the most delicate
and difficult abroad and efforts are al.
ways made in seeking a person to fill
the position to secure one thoroughly
acquainted with all phases of Far East
ern affairs. Aside from service at vari-
Gus times in the department, johnson
has devoted his entire career to the
Far East.
One of the most important questions
which will be dealt with by the new
Minister in China will be that OF
extraterritoriality rights of American
citizens. The Marking government has
been urging the abolition of the priv
ileges ever since coming into power.

actuated those soldiers who went to
their death in the World War, Secre-
tary of Labor James j. Davis told the

serving friends, fellow beings and coun-

the few friends who watch your I'M

hearts you will know that you belong
to the great fraternity of the faithful
here represented by this unknown
man."
Thought Only of Duty.
In referring to the high honors paid
the Unknown Soldier, Secretary Davis
said:
we Ulu hl1 JI1lS OuG Oh our kIlOWlOQBS
that all through life the greatest service
is often performed by persons who never
are known. In the stress of war 1t hap
pens thousands Of times. Every man
then thinks only of his duty. So this
man must have thought. When death
took him, he had no idea that such
honors as these would be paid him. He
did not die to receive these loving trib-
ties. He thought only of the duty to be
done, no matter how dangerous the
duty. He fought for his country and
stuck to the right though it brought him

"and whenever an individual nation
seeks to coerce by force of arms an

his attempt to amend the treaty by
rejecting the British reservation OF

Secretary Kellogg, next day, was
depressed by the sudden retreat Of
