This fuct developed official ly following receipt of advices show ing that Great Britain, too, had reject ed the American suggestion for joint f.etlon in the Chinese situation. Japan Ib known to resent that the United States sent 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 depart ment, 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 noto to China, asking the two fight ing factions to compose their differ ences and restore Internal order. At about the same time Great Britain, France, and Japan were invited to take Bume steps toward the restora tion of order in China, but Japan, at , r , least apparently, dlil not understand that tho American action had already "In a magnificent outburst of ym tcen ta'. in. : pathy for the little country which had , ' rhnapn tn iImIrv a unwerful and Diti- EUROPEAN WAR NEWS It is reported that General Smuts, te cikuiuted Boer leader, has been invited to join the Eritish war cab-' lnct.

Control of exports was given the government when the senate fina'ly approved the adminis tiation espionage bill with its embargo clause. The measure, sent to the president fur his signature, puts Into tbe hands of the executive a weapon by which it is intended to stop sup plies from entering Germany through neutral countries. Passage of the bill removes to a great extent the necessity of the Brit ish blockade, since the United States, originator of most of the exports that reach the neutrals, will be in position to see that the countries are supplied with just enough . food and materials lor their own needs. The neutral nations have expressed much concern over America's policy, end three of them Norway, Sweden and Switzerland have sent commis sions to this country to present their needs and requirements. f America's final incorporation into the allies' economic strength, with the legislation just passed, gives the al liance the practical trade domination of the whole world outside the Ger man empire. The neutrals are prac tically helpless without allied shipping and coal.

THE KING OF GREECE ABDICATES THRONE Athens, via Parls.-rKing Constan tino has yielded to the demand of France, Great Britain and Russia, and has abdicated the throne In favor of his second son, Prince Alexander. Constantine's retirement was di rectly due to the French senator, M. Jonnart, who arrived at Athens on a special mission as the representative ot France, Great Britain and Russia, and demanded under threat of armed force the abdication of the king. The demands of the powers respect ing the abdication of King Constan tlne also specifically eliminated Crown Prince George as his successor, the crown prince being included among those Greeks in official life who were considered strongly pro-German. It is presumed that Prince Alex ander will take up his kingly duties with full acceptation of the ideas which the protecting powers desire to be put into effect In the government of Greece during the present war. He is 24 years of age and has been free frera anti-entente proclivities. , 1 Washington Must Furnish Quota. Seattle.
