New Demands Agreed to by Pekin
Give Expeditionary Forces in Si
beria to Control o f Japan.
Shanghai—The statement is made in
the first issue o f the Shanghai Gazette
that the Chinese government has
agreed to new demands made by Jap
an, which are o f such a nature that
the country has virtually been turned
over to the Japanese.
The Gazette asserts it has been in
formed by a high official at Pekin that
the Japanese demands are far more
serious than those in group V o f the
famous 21 demands made by Japan in
1915.
“ Notwithstanding the fact that the
utmost secrecy is being observed,”
says the Gazette, “ it may be stated
safely that the following is not far
from the true terms o f the agreement:
“ Chinese expeditionary forces sent
to Siberia shall be commanded by a
Japanese.
“ Chinese police shall be organized
by Japanese officers.
“ Japan shall control all o f China’s
arsenals and dock yards.
“ Japan shall have the privilege o f
working mines in all parts o f China.
“ Special privileges shall be granted
to Japan in Outer and Inner Mongolia
and the whole o f Manchuria.”
A dispatch filed in Pekin April 4
said it was reported there that Japan
had submitted a new series o f demands
to China, including complete control o f
China’s finances, the purchase o f 50
per cent o f China’s ammunition in
Japan, operation o f Chinese iron mines
and dock yards under Japanese control
and recognition o f special Japanese in
terests in Mongolia, as in Manchuria.
The United States has agreed to

Lieutenant A. J. France was drown

La., is named by Governor Pleasant to

London — Holland has yielded to
Germany’s demands concerning trans
port and the supply o f sand and gravel,
although it is understood that the
amount o f sand and gravel will be lim
ited instead o f unlimited, according to
a dispatch from The Hague to the
Daily Mail, dated Sunday.
It is added that a general undetak
ing will be required from Germany
that the sand and gravel will not be
used for military purposes.
Rumors are current in the Dutch
capital, the dispatch adds,. that Dr.
John Loudon, minister o f foreign af
fairs, will resign. These, it is said,
are based on the supposition that he
could not retain office now that his un
dertaking respecting the gravel must
be revoked. '
In summarizing the situation, the
dispatch continues, it is felt certain
that the crisis with Germnay has
passed, although the solution is in no
wise an ideal one for Holland.
Relations between Holland and Ger
many have been at almost a breaking
point for some days owing to German
demands that Holland permit the
transmission over her canals and rail
roads o f sand and gravel from Ger
many to Belgium.
The controversy
was a three-cornered one, as Great
Britain had warned Holland to take
steps to make certain that the sand
and gravel would not be used for mili
tary purposes.
BANDIT S R E L E A S E G. A. K Y L E
Fortland Engineer, Captive in China
Since March 5, Given Freedom.
New York—George A. Kyle, o f Port
land, Or., the American engineer, who,
since March 5, has been held captive
by Chinese bandits in the province o f
Homan, China, has been released, ac
cording to advices to the State depart
ment from the American legation in
Pekin, forwarded to the Siems-Carey
Railway & Canal company here. Two
other Americans and a Chinese engi
neer had been previously freed.
The message to Kyle’s employers
here gave no details o f how his release
was brought about.
Kyle was chief engineer o f the
Siems-Carey company and was making
a survey for 2600 miles o f railroad
when captured, with E. J. Pursell, an
other engineer, and a Chinese assistant
engineer. Later H. J. Love, a Vir
ginian, employed by the British-Amer-
ican Tobacco company, was seized. All
were reported liberated except Kyle,
who was said to be held as a hostage
for the return o f a relative o f one o f
the bandit chiefs captured by Repbuli-
can troops.

So intense
was the American counter attack that
the enemy was repulsed without get
