Un1t4 Prcm Tsad Wire.) -Washington. April -Although the not addressed to Japan by the United States and the reply of the Tokio sov - eminent regarding the demand mad upo.i China were made public In Peking last night, no racial comment was forthcoming from the administration here today. " "All I can say la that we have the - matter in mind," was the- sole state ment of Secretary Bryan. It was the consensus of opinion in diplomatic circles that Japan had made material concessions to China in the reply to the American note. Those well Informed on oriental . affairs declared, however, that China, is in ho position to defy Japan, even if backed by the United States, owing to China's inter national position being too critical. The American, note, as made public in- Peking, contained five questions di rected to Japan as to the latter's de mands for the domination of ths Fukien islands. It was declared in Pekln that if the United States agrees not to construct a naval dock at San? tuao, the Tokio government will waive the demand for special privileges In Fuklen with the possible exception of the building of railroads. a YEON WILLING TO v ) TO HAVE LABOR .

Yeon Sends Letter. The letter sent by .special messenger . to the district attorney this morning follows: "April 9, 1916. "Honorable Walter H. Evans, District Attorney, Multnomah county. City Hear Sir: Yesterday there was handed -to me the attached card on which was printed the following statement: 'Eighty per cent of amount raised by good roads bonds will go for graft or profits, or royalties, as you may call it. Election April 14. Vote no,' . following ' typographical label 15. -f "This Is a very serious statement. ... If true, it means that from some au thority we may obtain information that will lead to cheaper, yet as durable hard surface road construction for this county. If untrue, it - casts a very grave reflection upon, the sincerity and .integrity of the county officials who are responsible for he work Upon the .roads of Multnomah county. ' "We believe that you Bhould, and hereby formally request you. in your capacity as district attorney, to take . formal cagnizance of the statement upon this card, and we request you to use the authority of your office in - ascertaining what are the facts. We - . have no desire to prosecute anybody or to make- differences of opinion in the present, campaign for the good roads bond issue a personal issue, but we do desire to give to the voters of Multno "mah county for their guidance the b- - solute facts. Will you kindly inform us how we may cooperate with you. to this end? Yours very sincerely,' "(Signed.) JOHN B. YEON. - - "Roadmaster, Multnomah County, ' .Chairman Good Roads Committee, New Chamber of Commerce." ,. -Violation Admitted. Both sides in the contest over road bonds admitted to District Attorney Evans today that they had violated he corrupt -practices act by issuing .campaign cards without giving the -name of the author and the firm that printed the cards. The district attor ney said that no one cared to file a 'complaint against either side, so long as the offense shall not be repeated. ? After Roadmaster J. B. Yeon called the district attorney's attention to the cerd issued by Eugene E. Smith, in which the assertion was made that 80 per cent of the bonds, if voted, would . go for graft; W. S. U'Ren, representing Smith, pointed out to District Attorney Evans that an anonymous campaign card had been issued by the good roads people. This card said that 80 per cent of the bonds would go to labor. In his letter Mr. Yeon had only asked for an investigation of the "graft" -r : : 1 . -x. f i) rSS5S5-av j card so that the voters might know on what its allegations were founded. Mr. U'Ren said that the cards had been issued by Smith without consult, ing counsel, and that when he was in formed of it he advised Smith not to distribute any more of the cards. He aid ' Smith had procured a rubber etamp bearing his name and that of the Multnomah ! Printing company, which printed. the cards, and this stamp will bfe used on the cards hereafter issued. The Holly Press printed the cards for the g0d roads people. The 'printing firms were equally guilty of violating the corrupt practices act. ALLIES STRIKE AT AUSTRIA ON EAST AND WEST (Continued From Page One.) is raging, and its principal object is also the striking of a death blow to the dual monarchy. Hurling themselves against the Ger man lines in the region of St. Mihiel, the French are sacrificing the blood of men like water In repeated furious assaults. So long as this attack con tinues, Germany must keep every available man in the west to hold her positions. It was expected that the kaiser would order men withdrawn from the German line in France to be rushed to the east. There they would have Joined with the Austrians in stemming the Russian tide sweeping through the Carpathians. The withdrawal of these forces now is impossible owing to the French attack. The men and guns that might have gone to the aid of the Aus trians are engaged in a deadly struggle In France. All reports Indicate that Hungary Is in a state of terror. Demands are be ing mad that Franz Josef sue for a separate peace. Rumors are again be ing circulated that Austria has already taken this step, but they are generally discredited. There is no doubt, !iow ever, that the terror of the Slav hordes sweeping over Hungary Is upon the government of Budapest. So long as the best, possible resist ance Is offered the invaders in the Carpathians, Premier Count Tisza and his advisers may be expected to stand behind the emperor. But once Hungary is overun, demands for peace are cer tain, and then must come capitulation by the aged emperor to aave hia empire from destruction. The claim from Berlin that the French offensive at St. Mihiel is linked with the Russian advance in the Car pathians Is generally accepted here. It was the same sort of strategy that saved Warsaw from the army of Field Marshal, von Hindenberg upon his last rush through Poland. the French orj this occasion directed their offensive ' against the German lin.es in the Champagne region. Ger many's famous field marshal had swept all before him as his mighty forces, reforming atnhe East Prussian frontier, hammered back the Russian line across he snow covered plains of Poland, Thousands Saorlfloed. One more blow and Warsaw was his. But his exhausted forces needed aid. The eyes of the German general staff turned to the west, where the vast armies lay In more than 200 miles of trenches in hopeless deadlock. The al lied commanders sensed the German plan. The French in the Champagne region were hurled forward in a vio lent offensive. Thousands of men were sacrificed, but the Germans could not withdraw troops from their imperiled positions to aid Von Htndenberg, Hundreds of miles away. Warsaw was savedand the attack of the French subsided. It is now again j renewed in the woods and over the barren hillsides about St. Mihiel to aid the Russians, battling through the treacherous gullies and passes of the Carpathians.
