CHINESE DECLARE JAPAN
AFTER LOOT AND PLUNDER
PEKING, Oct. 11. (Correspond
ence ot the Associated Press)
Japan's insistence upon immediate
settlement of the demands growing
out of tho Chcngchultun incident, is
creating great uneasiness among Chl-
ncso officials.
The Associated Tress correspon
dent is now able to glve a paraphrase
of the .four demands and the four
suggestions made by Japan, which is
practically the text of Baron llnya
Bhi's representations to the foreign
office.
The demands aro as follows:
1. The commander of the twenty-
eighth division of tho Chinese army
in Manchuria Is to;he reprimanded
.2. Officers responsible for the
Chengehiatun Incident aro to bo dis
missed, and those In direct command
are to be severely punished.
3, Orders are tq bo issued to Chi
nese troops ill Southern Manchuria
and Eastern Inner Mongolia that
horeafter Chinese soldiers and of
ficers are not allowed to act In such
a way ns to Irritate and provoke the
Japanese troops and Japanese rest
dents. Copies of these orders are to
be posted nt important centers.
4. (a) The Chinese government
Is to permit the stationing of Japan
ese police In Interior Southern Man
i-liuria and Eastern Inner Mongolia
at such placeH as the Japanese gov
ernment may consider It necessary to
station police for tho protection and
control ot Japanese residents, (b)
In Southern Manchuria, Japanese are
to bo employed as police advisers.
The four suggestions which Baron
llayashl has stated to tho Chinese
government as not absoluto de
mands, are as follows:
1. In the principal military divis
ions in Southern Manchuria and Kas.
tern Mongolia, a certain number of
Japanese officers are to be employed
;is military advisers.
2. Japanese officers are to be
employed as Instructors in the Chi
nese military academy.
3. The military governor at Muk
den, Chang Tso-ling, shall apologize
to the Japanese governor-general at
Port Arthur and the Japanese consul-
general at Mukden for the Chengehia
tun incident.
4. A suitable sum of money to lie
given to the Japanese wounded and
(lie families of the Japanese who
wero killed.
Chinese newspapers have been par
ticularly incersed by Baron H.iN)nsl'.! a
insistence upon granting of police
rights to Japan of Southern Manehu
rin and Eastern Inner Mongolia not
already open to trade.

FOR RE-ELECTION OF
i?
WASHINGTON, Nov, IS. Who is
responsible for Wilson's election?
John M. Parker says the progress
ives elected Wilson. William Allen
White backs him up and says It was
the idealism of the west aud revival
of the old spirit of 1891! that did the
Job.
The "fighting pacifists" claim they
did it. The American Union Against
Militarism of which Amos Plnchot,
l.llllun Wald and Jane Addams are
leading lights, point to the defeat ot
IluPont, the ranking republican mem
ber of the senate committee on mil
itary affairs, and ofVllllain S. Ben-
net of New York, who' ran on a plat
form Including universal military ser
vice, , and to the re-election of such
ardent peace advocates as General
Isaac Sherwood, and Representative
Gordon and Crossner, as evidence
that It was the "kept, us out of war'
voters in the west that did the bus!
nc.s.
Samuel Gompers points wilh pride
to himself ait-1 :.a's: "The cause of
labor, justice and freedom has been
vindicated!"
The Navy leaguo says, "President
Wilson declared for preparedness and
the Ai.icriian people decided to keep
him four years more."
I'ut from the west conies the state
ment of Hiram V. Johnson, governor
ct California, that "General Otis, W.
II. Crocker and Francis V. Keesling
have the proud distinction" of having
clTCted Wilson by antagonizing the
progressives of California. ' .
Meantime General Harrison Gray
Otis of the I.os Angeles Times says,
"treachery of the Johnson machine"
threw California and elected Wilson.
Colonel Hoosevelt, at the present
writing, Is heard only to say: "Ex
cuse me!"
