concessions were refused and the meet-

WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.—Japan's
demands on China for the employment
of Japanese military advisers 4 tho
large Chinese centers of south Man-
churia and Inner Mongolla, and Japan-
ese military instructorb_ in Chinese
schools, and colleges are viewed V
officials here as part of a new Japan-
ese policy, which may threaten Amer,
ica’s policies of the open door and
maintenance of Chinese integrity.
For many years the Chinese govern-
ment has employed Japanese, French,
' British. German and American mHi-
1 tary instructors and advisers in
1 Chinese garrison towns, schools and
colleges. Always the choice has been
made according to her own judgment.
The new demands restricting such apt
‘ pointments to Japanese, would, many
officials believe, negative the most
favored nation clause In American and
other treaties and virtually convert a
large section of Chinese territory into
. a Japanese protectorate.

Congress Avenue will be decorated
and the municipal band will be sta-

the morning of Saturday, Sept. 23, to
greet the 16,000 soldiers marching up
from San Antonio. The local band will
head the line of march through the
city and twelve or fifteen regimental
bands will discourse music at the pame
time. It is ft safe assertion that the
town will turn out.
It will take two and one-half hours
for the soldiers to march across the
bridge, it is declared by army men. The
soldiers are to be here three days, and

the fact, the merchants will no doubt

No surprise was felt here today at
the statement of Lord Robert Cecil,
British minister of trad®. that “it is not
likely that Great Britain will change
her blacklist policy at the request of

expect announcement of concessions by
Great Britain, but rather by a modifi-

tions.

Villa is quoted as saying:
"You seo before you ’Pancho' Villa,
the bandit. But you see also that I am
paying my soldiers in silver. And I
promise you it will not be Jong until
I have a large army. I now have plen-
ty of machine guns and ammunition.
You saw that neither the 'gringoes’
nor the Carranza troops could catch
me, even when I was ill. The 'grin-
goes' are harder fightera than the Car-
ranza troops, but I bear them no ani-
mosity. All I am interested in is in
punishing railroads and putting an end
to Carranza." ________
NEW YORK, Sept. 9.—The strike of
unionised employes in the subway and
elevated railway lines and on the sur-
face cars of the New York Railways
Company, which began three days ago,
spread tonight to the surface car lines
of the Second Avenue Railway Com-
pany and the Tihrd Avenue Company.
These companies operate virtually all
of the surface cars in Manhattan and
tho Bronx.
Tonight the first serious indication
of violence occurred when Michael
Giannini, 37 years old, a strikebreaker
employed by the Interborough Rapid
Transit Railway Company, Was shot
and probably fatally wounded by an
unidentified assailant. The police re
ported minor attempts at violence dur-
Ing the day and several arrests were

Railways Company had promised to re-
store normal traffic on their surface
car lines tonight, the police asserted
at 7:30 p. m, that virtually all the cars
had been sent to the. barns. .Service

way lines, however, was about nor-

BALT LAKE CITY, Utah. Sept. 9.—
Miss Isabel Vernon, national secretary
of the woman's party, who is here
on her way to Nevada to campaign
against President Wilson and demo-
cratic candidates for congress. Issued
a statement today attacking the presi-
dent's altitude on suffrage.
Of President Wilson’s speech to the
National Suffrage Association at At-
lantic City, she said:
"The test of sincerity is action The
president has had the opportunity dur.
Ing the past three years to give pow-
erful aid to the national enfranchise-
ment of women. He has refused. Slight
value is attached to pledges of sup-
port given by the president the night
after congress has adjourned and ac-
tion In his administration is no longer
possible. In the coming election mem-
bers of the woman’s party will judge
President Wilson not by his words in
Atlantic City, but by his acts in Wash-
ington.” ’ __
NEW LONDON, Conn., Sept. 9.
American members of the joint com-
mission considering relations between
the United States and Mexico are find-
ing difficulty in devising a satisfac-
tory plan to insure peace along the in-
ternational boundary. The full com-
mission was not in session tonight, but
Secretary Lane and Judge Gray of the
American commission, after an all-day
struggle with the various plans that
have been suggested for policing the
border, decided to summon expert mil-
itary judgment to their assistance. For
that purpose they asked that Major
General Tasker H. Bliss, assistant chief
of staff of the army, be sent here.
He is expected to arrive Monday when
the full commission . resumes its sit-
tings.
The commission has not attempted
as yet to go beyond the immediate
problem of the border. It is indicated
thata comprehensive scheme is being
sought under which each section of the
line will be treated in.the way best
suited to its physical peculiarities. It
is In this connection that General Bliss'
opinion will be sought. The wider scope
of the commission sought by the Wash-
ington Government will be reached
later.
It was stated authoritatively today
that the subject of possible loans to
tbft Carranza government had not been
mentioned by either commisson and
that there was nothing to indicate such
a project would come up. The Am-
ericans are trying, it was said, to give
helpful advice to the Mexican gov.
ernment in facing the internal prob-
lems it has encountered. For the prer-
ent at least the border situation is the
only ono being considered with the
idea of bringing immediate concrete re-
sults.
The commissioners who remain here
Over Bunday will do no work. It ift
expected long sessions will be held
every day next week and that a bor-
der plan will have been virtually com-
pleted in that time ready for submis-
sion to the Washington and Mexico
City government^for ratification.

LONDON, Sept. 9.—"According to
reports from Germany received at
Berne," says a dispatch to the wire-
less press, "the dismissal of General
Erich von Faikenhayn as chief of the
general staff was due to hts suggestion
of a complete change in Germany’s
war plans, which Emperor William in-
dignantly rejected.
•’Von Falkenhayn urged that the
whole campaign be abandoned, that the
eastern lines be shortened and that
the occupied territory in France H
evacuated.
"The general expressed the opinion
that the transformation of German
strategy into a purely defensive cam-
paign on a shorter front would paralyze
the entente allies and make it impos-
sible for them to crush Austro-German
resistance for years."
Persstence in the plan of campaign,
he said, would lead to disaster. Field
Marshal von Hjndenburg denounced
this advance as "childish, cowardly and
unworthy of the Germans.” Emperor
William took von Hindenburg's view
and dismissed von Falkenhayn.”

debat in Parliament recently by David
