Steps will be taken immediately by the State Department to get detailed reports and learn the full significance of Japan's act. Ar-rican interests seem at first glance to be more deeply involved than in any event in the Far East since Japan's famous ultimatum to China of May, 1915. Open Door Policy Threatened. The political articles were omitted entirely in the published demands. The recognition of "special rights" is open to the most extreme interpretation, and it is feared, might cut directly across the American policy of the integrity of China.

Also it has in it possibilities of violation of the open-door policy, and the making of the whole vast region involved a mere dependency of Japan. Article 3 of the "demands" places Japanese soldiers and troops in this Chinese territory entirely above the control of Chinese soldiers, virtually annulling China's sovereignty. Japanese already have won the right to their own courts and in many places their own police. 1 i "I want labor to have safe means of work, sanitary conditions of work, wholesome opportunities for recreation, reasonable hours for work, fair! wages, provision for old age. I want what Is reasonable for labor.

There is one thing that underlies all and that is that in all our efforts to secure what is just, that we keep the priceless institutions of this land which distinguish us as a free country and separate us from all the autocracies of the world. "It may be very important that here or there there shall be a change in tho wage scale. I know not. It is a matter for careful examination. I should be the first to recognize any demand that is just.

"There is something that precedes my demand, however, and that is the willingness to abide by the results of reason. It is the demand that when we do anything in this country we should understand the way we travel, where we put out foot down, and never surrender to any force of any kind. It is as the future will unfold, our priceless heritage that we have a country where intelligence reigns, where there are many opportunities of education, where we are trying to stamp out every abuse working against our institutions. "We submit ourselves with respect to our greatest national concerns to the arbitrament of the public judgment every four years. We submit our arguments, tell what we think and desire to be done.

Then we go to the polls and express our convictions and then every American citizen, whether he is victorious or defeated, goes home satisfied and reason rules. But the day must never come, and I regret to say we have gone very far toward the day, when we shall have any action under pressure instead of on a consideration of the facts." Thousands of persons who sought entrance to the auditorium were turned away. These Hughes addressed at an overflow meeting in the park outside. Confident of Klection.

In his Lexington address the nominee condemned "legislation in advance of investigation" and declared that the United States has 'gone very far toward the day when we shall have action under pressure, instead of in consideration of the facts." The declaration was loudly applauded. "We have a new spirit abroad In these recent days in America," Hughes said.

Search Was in Vain.

The officers said that the entire re gion had been searched in vain.

'We were favored by clear weather and, after taking numerous observations and careful soundings, getting no bot tom, we determined that what pMrv had seen was a mirage. This was further confirmed on our return to Cape Thomas where we saw the mirage mountains, which might easily have been mistaken for land. The temperature was never below 50 degrees below zero and the weather was fine and clear the whole time. Lieut.

Green started on his homeward Journey on Jan. IS, with Dr. Maurice C. Tanquary. Jerome Lee Allen, the wireless operator of the relief motor schooner; George B.

MacMillan, he added, had gathered a valuable collection of skins, minerals and other exhibits which he was bringing back in the Denmark.

The Express says: "We hope the decision to give a mili tary funeral to the Zeppelin death-dealers will not be carried out. Would you give a military funeral to the man who sank the Lusitania?" The Times calls the objections "inde scribably pretty."

As a result of the violations of the prohibitions laws at Girard and other places, followed by the State's destruction of an immense amount of contraband liquors, a bitter quarrel has developed between Gov. Charles Henderson and Attorney-General William L. Martin.

For a week each has been sending caustic letters to the other in which strong intimations of "ignoramus" and "swell-head office-holder" were employed, and a petition for a mandamus to force Gov. Henderson to approve expense accounts of the Attorney-General's department in connection with the Girard liquor raids, was resorted to. Under this rule nisi, requiring the Governor to appear before Judge Leon McCord in the Circuit Court on Sept. 5 in answer to mandamus proceeding requiring him to approve the Attorney-General's expense accounts, a fine legal will be fought out.
