JAPAN DECLINES TO
JOIN UNITED STATES
America Is Alone in Asking
Chinese Factions to Com
pose Differences.
PEKIN GIVES NO REPLY
Meager Information Given Oat by
State Department Indicates Sit
uation Is Due to Wide Va
riety of Misunderstandings.
WASHINGTON', June 16. Japan has
taken action similar to Great Britain's
in refusing to associate herself with
the American action in asking the rival
factions in China to compose their dif
ferences, it was Baid today at the
State Department. No reason was given
for the action of either nation, but it
is assumed that neither felt that the
American action would be successful.
Japan is known to resent Jhat the
"United States cent its note to China,
feeling that it disregarded the special
position Japan claims for herself
there. The whole question, from what
little is being divulged by the State
Department, seems to have arisen from
a series of misunderstandings.
As nearly as can be learned, the
United States on June 4 addressed what
it considered a most friendly note to
China, asking the two fighting factions
to compose their differences and re
store internal order. At about the
same time Great Britain. France and
Japan were invited to take some steps
toward the restoration of order in
China, but Japan, at least apparently,
aid not understand that the American
action had already been taken.
Pektn Gives First JVews.
On June 8 the first public intimation
tf America' actual action came in a
dispatch from Pekin, quoting the text
of the American note, given out ap
parently by the Chinese authorities.
On June 9 there appeared in the
Tokio Asahi not the real text, but a
dispatch sent from New York and con
sisting of newspaper comment. The
Japanese were doubly disturbed, first,
by the seeming direct interference in
China's affairs and, second, by the
knowledge that America had already
taken her action while negotiations
were apparently still under way.
Today, again from a foreign source,
comes the first word of the original
American suggestion that other gov
ernments associate themselves in the
move to restore order in China. Great
Britain is reported to have expected
general agreement with America's pol
icy, but to view the situation from a
slightly different angle. Just what
that angle is is not known.
China Does Not Reply.
Meanwhile China is understood not
to have replied to the American note,
though reports indicate that it was
'favorably received."
The State Department is not making
public any of its dispatches about the
revolution, but news dispatches indi
cate that General Chang Hsun, head of
the military faction, has arrived as a
dictator in Pekin, following President
Li's compliance with- his demand to
dissolve Parliament. "Whether thiti
means the restoration of a monarchy,
as hinted at, is uncertain.
France, also asked by this country
to take action, has not formally replied
as yet, but it is thought unlikely that
sllQ will follow the United States now
that Great Britain and Japan have re
fused to do so.
ELIHU ROOT WARNS RUSSIA
("Continued From First Pajr0
that Russia's revolution was based on
the wonderful words uttered by Amer
ica in 1776. He read part of the Dec
laration of Independence, and ex
claimed: "Russia holds with the United States
that all men are created free and
equal."
M. Tereschtenko sketched the his
tory of the Russian revolution briefly,
saying1 that the Russians, enslaved
for centuries, threw off all of the old
order just as the wind blows Autumn
leaves from the forest.
Russia now faces two problems, said
the Minister the necessity of creating
a. strong- democratic force within its
boundaries and the fighting1 of an ex
ternal foe. Then he declared for war
and expressed unbounded confidence in
the power of Russia to meet the sit
uation. American Freedom Described.
Mr. Root spoke as follows:
"Mr. President and Members of the
Council of Ministers: The mission for
which I have the honor to Fpeak is
charged by the Government and people
of the United States of America with a
message to the government and people
of Ri-ssia. The mission comes from a
democratic republic. Its members are
commissioned and instructed by a Pres
ident who holds his hisrh office as chief
executive of more than 100.000,000 free
people by virtue of popular election,
in which more than IS. 000, 000 votes
were freely cast and fairly counted
pursuant to law, by universal, equal,
direct and secret suffrage.
"Fir one hundred and forty years our
people have been strug"frlin(r with the
hard problems of self-government. With
many shortcomings, many- mistakes,
many imperfections, we still have
maintained order and respect for law,
individual freedom and National impor
tance. Liberty Put Above Wealth.
"Under the security of our own laws
we have grown in strength and pros
perity. But we value our freedom more
than wealth. We love liberty and we
cherish above all our possessions the
ideals for which our fathers fought and
suffered and sacrificed that America
might bo free.
"We beiieve in the competence of the
power of democracy, and in our heart
of heart: abides faith in the coming of
a better world in which the humble and
oppressed of all lands may be lifted up
by freedom to an heritage of justice and
eqiip I opportunity.
"The news of Russia's new-found
freedom brought to America universal
satisfaction and joy. From all the land
sympathy and hope went out to the new
sister in the circle of democracies. And
the mission Is sent to express that
feeling.
Greeting In Extended.
"The American democracy sends to
the democracy of Russia a greeting of
sympathy, friendship, brotherhood. God
speed. Distant America knows little
of the special conditions of Russian
life which must give form to the gov
ernment and laws which you are about
to create. As we have developed our
Institutions to serve the needs of our
National character and life, so we as
sume that you will develop your in
stitutions to serve the needs of Rus
sian character and life.
"As we look across the sea we dis
tinguish no party, no cK.ss. We see
treat Russians as a whole, as one
rmigrhty, striving1, aspiring democracy.
We know the self-ctontrol, essential
kindliness, strong common sense, cour
age and noble idealism of the Russian
character.
"We have faith in you alL We pray
for God's blessing upon you all. We
believe you will solve your problems,
that you will maintain your liberty and
that our two great nations will march
side by side in the triumphant progress
of democracy until the old order every
where has passed away and the world
is free.
"One fearful danger threatens the lib
erty of both nations. The armed forces
of a military autocracy arc at the gates
of Russia and the allies. The triumph
of German arms will mean the death
of liberty, in Russia. No enemy Is at
ths gates of America, but America has
come to realize that the triumph of
German arms means the death of liberty
in the world; that we who love liberty
and would keep it must fight for it, and
iight for it now, when the free democ
lacies of the world may be strong in
union, and not delay until they may be
beaten down separately in succession.
Union In War Asked.
"So America sends another message
to Russia that we are going to fight
and have already begun to fight for
your freedom equally with our own, and
we ask you to fight for our freedom
equally with yours. We would make
your cause ours and our cause yours,
and. with a common purpose and m u-tna-1
helpfulness of a firm alliance, make
sur cf victory over our common foe.
"You will recognize your own senti
ments and purposes in the words of
President Wilson to the American Con
gress when, on the second day of last
April, he advised a declaration of war
against Germany. He said:
" 'We are accepting this challenge of
hostile purpose because we know that
In uch a government (the German
government) following such methods,
we can never have a friend, and that
in the presence of Its organized power,
always lying in wait to accomplish we
know not what purpose, there can be
no assured security for the democratic
governments of the world.
'We are now about to accept the
gage of battle with thl3 natural foe
to liberty, and shall, if necessary, spend
the whole force of the Nation to check
and nullify its pretensions and its
power. We are glad, now that we see
the facts with no veil of false pretense
about them, to fight thus for the ulti
mate peace of the world and for the
liberation of its peoples, the German
peoples included; for the rights of na
tions, great and small, and the priv
ilege of men everywhere to choose their
way of life and of obedience.
" 'The world must be made safe for
democracy. Its peace must be planted
upon the tested foundations of politi
cal liberty. We have no selfish ends
to serve. We desire no conquest, no
dominion. We seek no indemnities for
ourselves, no material compensation
for the sacrifices we shall freely make.
We are but one of the champions of
the rights of mankind. We shall be
satisfied when those rights have been
made as secure as the faith and the
freedom of nations can make them.'
Russia Welcome Partner.
"And you will see the feeling toward
Russia with which America has entered
the great war in another clause of the
same address. President Wilson fur
ther declared:
" 'Does not ever American feel that
assurance has been added to our hope
for the future peace of the world by
the wonderful and heartening things
that have been happening within the
last few weeks in Russia. Russia was
known by those who knew her best to
have been always in fact democratic
at heart in all the vital habits of her
thought, in all the intimate relation
ships of her people that spoke their
natural instinct, their habitual attitude
toward life.
" 'The autocracy that crowned the
summit of her political structure, long
as it had stood and terrible as was the
reality of its power, was not in fact
Russian In origin, character or purpose,
and now it has been shaken off and
the great, generous Russian people have
been added, in all their naive majesty
and might, to the forces that are fight
ing for freedom in the world, for jus
tice and for peace. Here is a fit partner
for a league of honor.
"That partnership of honor in the
great struggle for human freedom, the
oldest of the great democracies now
seeks in fraternal union with the
youngest. Practical and specific meth
ods and the possibilities of our allies
co-operation, the members of the mis
sion would be glad to discuss with the
members of the government of Russia."
RUSSIA EXPELS SOCIALIST
Fresli Attempts by Germans to Con
clude Separate Peace Exposed.
PETROGRAD, via London, June 16.
Fresh attempts on the part of the Ger
mans to conduce peace with Russia
have been exposed, with the result that
the expulsion from Russia has been or-
dered of a prominent Socialist inter
nationalist, a citizen of Switzerland,
Robert Grimm. Two days ago the pro
visional government received from a
reliable source a copy of .a dispatch
addressed by Hoffman.a member of the
Swiss Federal Council, to Grimm.
Apart from the separate peace offer
contained in the dispatch, Hoffman re
ported that Germany and her allies
would begin general and immediate
peace negotiations if Russia's allies
were .willing.
The provisional government appar
ently was informed that this dispatch
had been handed to Grimm by the Swiss
Minister at Petrograd. The govern
ment requested the Socialist members
of the Cabinet, M. Tseretelli and M.
Skobeleff, to demand explanations from
Grimm, who was their colleague, inas
much as, though a foreigner, he was
beginning to play a prominent role in
Petrograd as the mouthpiece of the
internationalist pacifist propaganda.
An official statement issued today
declares that Grimm denied to the
Cabinet members that the Swiss Minis
ter had transmitted to him such a dis
patch, denouncing the whole affair as a
clumsy German maneuver.
Grimm added that when at Berne and
Stockholm he had refused to enter into
any such negotiations and that as a
Socialist he refused to let himself be
made the Instrument of imperialist
plans.
The two Russian ministers reported
to the Cabinet that Grimm's explana
tion was unsatisfactory, whereupon an
immediate expulsion order ws issued.

BERLIN REALIZES
WILSON IS CHANGED
Note to Russia Not Reconciled
With His Attitude Pre
vious to War.
AUTOCRATIC ACT CHARGED
President Said to Have Declared
Assurance of Re-election Xeeded
Before Following Desire to
Mediate for Peace.
AMSTERDAM, via London, June 16.
What evidently may be considered the
official view of President Wilson's note
to the Russian government is published
today by the semi-official Xord
Deutsche Allegmalne Zeitung. of Ber
lin, and telegraphed abroad by the of
ficial German news agency. It opens
with a reference to the alleged changes
which President Wilson's attitude has
passed through and says he has com
pletely abandoned his former assertion
in now declaring that the United States
entered the war to free the world from
attacks of autocracy power.
"According to his own early declara
tions,' the newspaper continues, "the
only ground for war was the endanger
ing of American shipping by the unlim
ited T-boat campaign. Now, when it is
a question of winning the patronage of
Liberal Russia, this is absolutely inade
quate, hence the big words that Amer
ica went into the war to do away with
German autocracy.
Dictation Is Charged.
'This is a contradiction of facts and
comes the more strange from President
Wilson's lips when it is considered that
in bringing about the declaration 'of war
he exercised a degree of autocratic
power the like of which was hardly
permitted to the late Emperor of Rus
sia." In regard to President Wilson's hint
that the war might serve to secure
liberal institutions in Germany itself,
the newspaper says: .
"Mr. Wilson has enough to do In com
bating plutocracy in his own country
and in taking care of the social and
political position of the American work
er. Ve reserve to ourselves the order
ing of our own affairs.
Regarding the President's accusations
about the weaving of a net of intrigue
aimed at the peace and freedom of the
world, the newspaper says:
Mediation In Delayed.
"In the course of the past year Mr.
Wilson repeatedly declared that he de
sired to mediate for peace, but could
not do so before his re-election was as
sured. But even when this occurred
he was unable to arrive at a decision,
although we had facilitated his action
in every way by our peace offer of
December 12, 1916.
"But so long as the interests of the
American shipping- trade and so long
as Great Britain was not menaced
dangerously by the U-boat war Presi
dent Wilson knew nothing of the au
tocratic intrigues of Germany, whose
power must be broken in the interests
of peace and the freedom of the world.
He then declared his readiness with
words, if not deeds, to restore peace
for the world, and, thereby, also for
wicked Germany.
"The treaties of the triple alliance
and their purely defensive character
are known to the whole world, and
when President Wilson accentuates the
Berlin-to-Bagdad plan we submit that
he shall let his British, Russian and
French allies enlighten him regarding
those open agreements, free from every
intrigue, which we made with Turkey's
assent for the economic opening of
Asia Minor, or were about to make
when the war broke out.
Entente Intrlarae Charged.
"Moreover, we would urgently rec
ommend that Mr. Wilson at the same
time obtain from his allies an expo
sition of the war gains mutually as
sured to the members of the entente.
He will find that Premier Briand had
to admit recently in a secret sitting
of the French Chamber that France and
Great Britain h,ve promised, Constan
tinople to itussia and in return itussia
has promised France not only Alsace
Lorraine, but the left bank of the
Rhine.
"He will further find that the en
tente has drafted a complete plan for
the partition of Asia Minor, but' is
still meeting with difficulties because
the Italian hunger for power desires
more than Great Britain and France
will approve. Italy has been met with
all conciliatoriness in the promise of
further Austro-Hungarian land.
Promises Made Bulgaria
"It will be very interesting for the
United States further to learn that
promises at the cost of Serbia were
made to Bulgaria as the price or its
entry into the war on the aide of the
entente.
"If Mr. Wilson places so much value
on the human race, knowing for what
aims America is waging war, he must
urge that the' war aims of her allies
be made known to the whole world by
the publication of treaties. Only then
will the world be able to judge clearly
whether the peaceable and liberal aim
which Mr. Wilson proclaims is com
patible with the alms of the entente.
And the house of cards of Germany's
autocratic intrigues will collapse.
"Xew Russia has declared repeatedly
that such war aims were not hers.
Russia has rather proclaimed a formula
of peace without annexations and in
demnities as her wish. The central
powers and their allies rather desire,
in free and mutual understanding with
Russia to create a position which
henceforth shall be a guarantee of dur
able and peaceful neighborly existence
side by side.'

BLOCKADE COMES TO END
Reprisals Against People of Any
Party Will Be Pitilessly Re
pressed by Entente Powers,
Citizens 'Are Informed.
ATHENS, via London. June IS. M.
Jonnart. the high commissioner repre
senting France, Great Britain and Rus
sia, who recently brought about the
abdication of King Constantine, has
published the following proclamation
address to the Hellenes:
"France. Great Britain and Russia
desired the independence, greatness
and prosperity of Greece. They In
tended to defend the brave little land
they have liberated against the united
efforts of the Turks, Bulgarians and
Germans. They are here to checkmate
the maneuvers of the hereditary ene
mies of the kingdom. They will put
an end to the repeated violations of
the constitution, of treaties and the
deplorable intrigues which led up to
the massacre of soldiers of the allies.
"Yesterday Berlin was In command of
Athens and was gradually leading the
people under the yoke of the Bulgari
ans and Germans. We resolved to re
establish the constitutional rights and
unity of Greece. The protecting powers,
therefore, demanded the abdication of
the King. They have no Intention of
tampering with the constitutional pre
rogatives: they have other alms, name
ly, to assure the regular and consti
tutional progress of the country, to
which the late King George has always
been scrupulously faithful, but which
King Constantine has ceased to re
spect. "Hellenes, the hour of reconciliation
has arrived. Your destinies are close
ly associated with those of the pro
tecting powers; your Ideals are the
same as theirs, your hopes are identi
cal. We appeal to your good sense
and patriotism.
"Today the blockade is raised. Any
reprisal against Greeks, to whatever
party they belong, will be pitilessly
repressed. The liberty and prosperity of
everyone will be safeguarded.
"This is a new era of peace and la
bor which Is opening before you. Know
