CHINESE ARE IN FEAR THAT JAPANESE WILL SPREAD COLONY PLAN Motive of Little Brown Men Questioned Somewhat in . Event of German War. (Cnlted Presi leased Wire.) Shanghai, Auk. 18 What Chines principally fear In connection with th prospective trouble between the Jap anese and the Gernjans at Klao Chao la that the mikado's soldiers, getting con trol pf the German territory on the Shantung coast, will attempt to make It a vantage ground for spreading their Influence throughout all that part of China. Germany Is so far away that it was never considered likely that It would use the concesHiorV hs anything more than a trading post. The Germans' presence there w-as a constant sourc of Irritation to the Chinese In the set tlement's vicinity, Just as they have always been angered by the foreigners' presence and exercise of extra terrt torial Jurisdiction at Shanghai. Han kow and other treaty ports, bait It did not alarm them. From near neighbors like the Jap anese, however, they are fearful of attempts at colonization on a large scale, as In Manchuria, the establish ment of Japanese government over a wide extent of territory and the grad ual Japaniiatlon of northeastern China, with its own people as a subject race. The Japanese announcement that the mikado's Intention Is eventually to return Klao Chao to the Chinese Is taken as a diplomatic promise which may or may not be kept. Armed resistance of the Japanese, It Is generally agreed, is out of the ques tion, and Indeed, there is no disposi tion to attempt preventing them from expelling the Germans, who are no more popular than the Japanese, even If they are not feared as much. There Is beginning to be talk, how ever, of an anti-Japanese boycott, a weapon the Chinese have used so ef fectively before that the Japanese are emphatically afraid of it. It will not he resorted to, of course. If the Chinese can be assured they will be fairly treated.

George K. McCord In Mortal Illness Former Private Secretary to Mayor Contracted Severe Cold. During Xiast Tear's Campaign. George K. McCord, private secretary to A. G. Rushlight when the latter was mayor, is very low at his home at 405 East Thirty-ninth street, north. He is not expected to live more than a few days. He is suffering from an affec tion of the throat. Mr. McCord, during the municipal campaign ln 1913, contracted a severe cold from the effects of which he has never recovered. He was ill the greater part of the fall and during the past winter almost continuously so. In an effort to recuperate, Mr. Mc- caift JfyfS O. C.

In announcing his resignation Mr. Leiter also announces his permanent retirement from the newspaper busl ness regardless -of the result of the approaching political campaign. Hor ace E. Thomas, for several years as sistant city editor of the paper, suc ceeds his former chief, and Walter R. May, it Is stated, has been named to succeed Thomas. "I am leaving newspaper work and casting my fortune with Mr. Hanley," said Mr. Leiter, "because of my per sonal regard for him. I have formed a strong personal attachment for Mr. Hanley, and honestly believe that he Is senatorial timber, and If elected will be a credit to the state. Mr. Hanley Intends to make a vigorous campaign of the state through the newspapers and by spechmaking ln every county and I shall have charge of this cam paign." Clark Leiter has been in the employ of the Oregonian for almost 14 years. He started first as college man and re porter, then 'becoming a full fledged reporter. He was appointed assistant city editor to succeed Henry E. Reed, now county assessor, and became city editor ir November, 1904. In making known Mr. Leiters resig nation, E. B.

The law which will go Into effect January 1 abolishes the elective office of state printer and provides for the appointment of a state printer by the state board at a salary of $1800 a year. It gives the board full authority and control over all the public printing, but makes no specific provisions for the operation of a state printing plant. It provides for letting the printing out on contract.' If It should be determined ln an) way that under the new law the state could not operate its own plant, then it is known that friends of the present system are going to make a fight to have the law repealed and one enacted making the flat salary system and state owned plant secure. Will Consider the Benson-Hyde Case Attorney General and Special Agent of tne rand Office May Decide to Ex plain to Karris or to Appeal. Salem, Or., Aug. 18. Attorney Gen eral Crawford Bald today that he would have a conference tomorrow with C. R. Arundell, special agent of the United States general land office, Portland, relative to action to be taken ln the Benson-Hyde land fraud cases, Involving about 30,000 acres of school land. They will map out plans for future action, following an adverse de cision yesterday in the circuit court at Eugene. It will be decided at the con ference whether an effort willbe made to explain the long delay in bringing the suit to the satisfaction of Judge L. T. Harris or to take an appeal from the decision. In case an appeal is taken. It will be on the ground that ln 1903 the legislature passed a law re pealing the statute of limitations as applying to the state. The deeds ln the cases before the court at Eugene were Issued in 1898 and 1899, and so the statute of limitations had not run when the law repealing it was passed. The attorney general asserts that the case is not similar to that of the Warner Valley Stock company, quoted by the court, for the reason that ln that suit the statute of limitations ap plied, deeds having been issued more than 10 years prior to 1908, when the law repealing it was passed by the state. the ravages of the disease and during the latter part of last week he was brought home.

As the result of -'a recnt reorganiza tion, Portland is to have a new depart ment store. It !s the Bon Marche, at 145-117 Second street. Being virtually a new store its new management promises something en tirely new in its operation. Details will be forthcoming shortly. As general manager Albert Jacobs, formerly of Litt Bros.. Philadelphia, has been entrusted with the conduct of the business. Associated with him will be seme of the best known department managers in Portland. Holding, a controlling Interest in the business, D. Sondheim, recently of New York, will serve as merchandise man ager and buyer. Mr. Sondheim Is said to have the first call on many buys through his extensive eastern connec tions and by 'reason of this fact it is said the success of the enterprise Is assured. After a young man has been em ployed In a drug store a couple of weeks, people begin to call him "Doc." SLate Printing of Textbooks Is Plan If Legislature Decides Favorably on Proposition Much Larger Plant Than at Present would Be Neqessary. Salem Or., Aug. 18. There is a prob. ability that the next legislature will be called upon to pass on the question of whether the state shall print text books for usin the public schoods, as arguments are already being advanced to show that such a move would be a good thing. It is pointed out that California has such a law and it Is said a large sav lng to the taxpayers has resulted. If the legislature should enact t law providing for the printing of school textbooks by the state, a much larger printing plant than the state now has would be required. Advocates of the plan, however, assert that the cost of .the enlarged printing plant would be saved ln one year to those who have to buy school books. It Is pointed out also that a saving would be made in the cost of printing the initiative and other election pamphlets, owing to the faster presses and better printing fa cilities the state would have. The question of whether the state is to operate a state printing plant at all is also likely to be fought out in the next legislature, as the law under which the plant is now operating will CZAR ILL DEPART FOR FRONT AND HE WILL STAY TO END London Reports Say Nicholas Will Remain at Front Until End of Military Campaign. By Ed L. Keen. London, Aug. 18. The crar will go to the Russo-German front. It was stated In a news agency dispatch re ceived here from St. Petersburg to day, and will remain in the field tnroughout the entire campaign. The war office's publicity bureau here announced: "The embarkation, transpor tation and landing of the British forces sent to the continent has been carried out with the greatest precision along lines planned by the war office many months ago. There waa not a single casualty. The expedition landed at its destination ready to take the field. "Every British soldier carried a card signed by War Minister Lord Kitche ner under his promise to care for the troops interests, to provide them with adequate commissary, warning them against drinking and looting and advis ing' them to fear God, honor the king and their country, and to be courteous to all 'but not more than courteous to women." Xing George's Address. King George's address to the British troops was sent to General French to be read to them. "You, my soldiers," It read, "have left home to fight for the honor of my empire. "Belgium, a country we are pledged to defend, has been attacked. France Is about to be invaded by the same powerful foe. "I have implicit confidence in you. Duty is your watchword. I know it will be nobly done. "I shall watch your every move ment with the deepest interest and mark with eager satisfaction your daily progress. "I pray God to bless you and to bring you back victorious." 3500 Americans Is Paris. It was announced that General Smith-Do rrien would succeed General Grlerson, who died suddenly Monday, in command of one of the expedition ary corps. From Paris came news that only 3500 Americans remained there, and these were expected to come to Lon don soon. It was said that the number of Americans volunteering ln the French army was increasing. ' Two hundred enlisted Monday. Andre Lesourd was drilling them. There was much discussion of the cxar's reported announcement of his intention to send the Russian Black sea fleet through the Dardanelles, de spite Turkey's declaration of neutral Itv. That this would violate tha sul tan's declaration and a treaty of long i l8h troops on the continent. It was an- standing, all agreed. There were many who said, however, that, on the ground of a necessity higher than any out standing obligation, it certainly could be as successfully defended as could Germany's Invasion of Belgium. The British government was keep- lrrg in close touch with Japan eotv- cernlng the tatter's expected action the orient. It waa said the Japanese planned to interfere with no German possessions except on the Aslatlo mainland and would not concern them selves with German shipping outside the China seas unless compelled to do so to protect Japanese lines ln the Pacific. This attitude, it was understood, was strongly Indorsed here, as calcu lated to prevent outside complica tions and to limit the mikado's ac tivities to what he declared he had solely at heart the preservation of peace ln the far east.

Kaiser Blames War On Czar of Russia Germany Is Being Maligned and EM Motives Misunderstood, Says State ment to Secretary Bryan. Washington, Aug. 18. "Germany is being maligned and her motives mis understood and misconstrued as the result of a deliberately misrepresented campaign to foster anti-German sent!, ment In America." This was the gist of a complaint re ceived here today by Secretary of State Bryan from the German kaiser. Em peror William resented the charge that responsibility for the war rested with Germany, and declared that the czar of Russia was to blame. It was learned from a high official source that Ambassador Gerard sent the kaiser's representations, and that the German ruler also requested Ge rard to "set him right'' with President Wilson. In his cablegram today to Secretary Bryan, Gerard voiced no comment on the kaiser's declaration.
