KIAO CHOW MATTERS CAUSE

Some Question As to Whether Japs 4 Intend, to Restore Territory to China.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.—The statement by Baron Kato, the Japanese foreign minister, In the diet yesterday, that Japan had made no promise to any country to return Kiao Chow to China attracts much interest in official circles here, and had caused a general review of the various utterances of a more or less official character on the subject since Japan entered the war.

Secretary Bryan would not comment today and referred inquirers to statements already made.

When Japan delivered her ultimatum to Germany demanding the evacuation of Kiao Chow, the statement was published that the territory would be returned to China. That, it was later pointed out, was upon the supposition that Germany would comply with the terms of the ultimatum and voluntarily

turn over the territory. However, as Japan was put to a general military aunpaign to get possession of Kiao fliow, one contention now In the Japanese mild is that the original pledge «ras not binding.

After the entry of Jajpan into the war Count Okuma, the premier, in reply to an inquiry, announced that Japan had no intention of securing territorial extension as a result of the war.

Kiao-Chow was not specifically mentioned in that statement, although it might have been Inferred that it was Included

The Japanese embassy here, however, never made any formal statement to Secretairy Bryan that Japan would return Kiao-Chow to China, although it Is said to be possible that fome such impression may have been conveyed in conversation by a member of the embassy staff but no where, it Is said, was there a formal pledge to that effect.

It may be stated authoritatively that wtiile Japan has not formally underB? taken to surrender Kiao-Chow she has by no means officially committed herself to its retention that the whoie subject of the disposition of the former

German possessions in Asia and Australia is still undetermined.

plains the administration of a law of that character has many obstacles to overcome at the outset and that folk nre unaccustomed and must be educated to it. Taking the tables of returns Mr. McAdoo infers that there must be many who failed to pay the tax.

Thousands Mnke Wo Return. "It is clear." say3 he, "that there wero thousands of persons who failed altogether to make a return as required by law. The remedy for this, of course, is to have the collectors of internal revenue in each district make an assessment upon those, who, in the opinion of the collector, are liable to the tax, and, in addition, to make such Investigations as may be necessary to determine who in each district have failed to make proper returns. The experience of the department shows that many erroneous and faulty returns have been made." The work of discovering Buch cases, he adds, is being fushed forward with all possible rapidity. ''The collection of revenue for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1914," says Mr. McAdoo, "show the success of the tariff act of October 8, 1913, as a revenue measure." He goes on to show that this act was estimated as the producer of 5270,000,000 In its first year and that there was actually collected $292,320,014: That, however, included nine months under the new law and three months under the PayneAl?rich law. He Bhows that the total raised under the new law with Its corporation and income tax features was $863:701.289 or $9 S03,593 in ex! costs of "the previoiis year's receipts unaer the preceding revenue measHrei "The European war," said the secretary, "seriously affected the revenues of the government from imports. The revenue from customs for October. 1914. was.$16,271,829 and for October, 1913, it-was $30,138*049, a decrease of $13,866,220, The reduction is solely due to the falling off In importations. The estimate maae by the deoartment indicated a yearly decrease of between $"£0,000,000 and $100 000,000. It is obvious that thess estimates cannot be accurate, as no one can forecast the course of events, while the titanic struggle in Europe is in progress To keep the treasury in strong condition in these abnormal times was obviously the first duty of the hour. Urvon it largely depended the satety of business and finance in this coun-

Mr. McAdoo again recommends to conKTci:s the consolidation of the revenue cutter and life saving: services, to bear the name "Coast Guard service."

REDFIELD URGES ECONOMY.

Secretary of Department of Commerce Summarizes Work. WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.—Economy in the public service is the keynote of the annual report of Secretary Redfield, of the department of commerce. In Bumimarizing the work of the many bureaus of his department he undertakes to suggest a wise use of government funds: "If attention were directed not to totals but to the wise use of funds," said Secretary Redfield, so that the latter should be made to produce the utmost possible service, much would be accomplished that 1b now hardly suggested or attempted. Every industrial manager knows that economy requires his plant to be kept up in the best productive condition. It Is not economical, in order to save a total expenditure, to allow the plant to run down and then have to build it up again. This does not save money, but loses it. Economy of this kind is not economy at all. It merely involves a cycle of expensive changes, costly in themselves and more costly in their results. "If, Instead of arguring upon totals, without regard to whether the money which comprises these totals ha3 been spent wisely or unwisely, care were centered on the need for expenditure and for the wisdom with which that need is met, money could be saved that will otherwise continue to be lost."

Summarizes Work.

Summarizing the work of the last year in promoting foreign trade, Mr. Redfield says: "The United States is one of the three foremost commercial nations. It is essential to Its prosperity that it should be inferior to no other country In its governmental system for the fostering and protection of its trade, both domestic and foreign. Such a system Is now firmly established. In foreign countries the admirable tradedevelopment work which the consular officers of the department of state carry on is now to be supplemented through the service of a corps of commercial attaches, which will fill a gap heretofore existing in our organization as compared with that of other nations. These, with the group of special traveling investigators of commercial agents who continue the valuable technical studies of markets abroad, constitute for the first time in the foreign field a complete and well-baianced system of federal aid to trade in foreign lands. "The special fund for promoting commerce in Central and South America, of which eighty per cent is allotted to field investigation and the remainder in Washington, should be continued and supplemented, as a permanent occupation of Latin-American maikets is the only wise policy for our government to support."

Various phases of the work of investigating commercial conditions in the United States are reviewed at length.

of families who are in dire need of a Good Fellow. Here is one of the cases and perhaps some Good F-ellow will be interested:

Case No. 4—Two little children, a boy, 2 years old, and a girl, 5 years old, are in need of shoes. The mother is the support of the family and ho,s been since the father's death two years ago. She cannot earn enough to buy food, fuel and clothing for the family. "There surely is some person in Terre Haute who could give a dollar or so, or perhaps some old clothes, to help this case and other unfortunate cases," said Mrs. Stahl.

At the friendly Inn there are nearly a dozen men at work every night chopping wood to earn a night's lodging. They are willing to work to get a bed and a good meal and the wood pile at the inn has grown to a mammoth size through their efforts.

Major O'Neal of the Volunteers of America said Wednesday that he was using every effort to give aid to the families under his care. Many times during the day women were seen hurrying into the Volunteers' home on North Fourth street to get a basket of fuel or a few provisions. At night the home cares for a number of unfortunate women anf! children who have been forced to feeek the warmth of the place because of the lack of fuel at home.

How to Be a Good Fellow.

With winter approaching, the charitable organizations are looking to the Good Fellows to help them in giving cheer to the unfortunates. To be a good fellow it is not necessary to donate a large sum of money or to buy new clothing. Good Fellows aid as much as their means permit. It may be an old sweater to you but it will De something warm for a "down and outer." It mafy be a stray dollar' in your pocket but to a mother who is bending over a wash tub and trying to dkrn money to support three or- four little children, it would mean perhaps a week's food.

The names of persons who are worthy of any assistance a Good Fellow might care to give to can be procured from Mrs. B. E. Stahl of the Light House mission, Major O'Neal of the Volunteers of America, or Miss Lena Reading of the Friendly Inn.

REBEL LEADER IS KILLED.

Shot From Horse, and Body Is Lost in River. PRETORIA, Dec. 9.—The circumstances which led the government to announce that General Christian Beyers, the rebel leader, had been killed, were made public here today. It appears that during a sharp engagement on the banks- of the Vaal, Beyers, with others, endeavored to crass the river. They were fired on and Beyers was' seen to fall from his horse. His body drifted down the stream and then disappeared under water. A search is being made for the body.

General Beyers was the only important rebel leader, still, at large.

SWEDES PROTEST MINING.

Planting of Floating Explosives Causes Many Complaints. ,, STOCKHOLM,. Sweden, Dec. 9.—The Swedish press is very indignant over the planting of floating mines along the coast of Finland, which has resulted so far in the loss of three large Swedish steamers and the drowning of upwards of forty men.

Navigation of Finnish waters hitherto has been unimpeded, and no warning of the laying of mines has been given. Captains of Swedish steamers reaching here declare they saw German warships near the Finnish coast Saturday and Sunday consequently the strewing of mines in these waters is credited to the Germans.

Traffic in Finnish waters is to be discontinued until they have been swept for mines.

Rep. Roberts, of Massachusetts, and others, pressed ^femiral Fletcher about the actual condition of the American submarine now in active first class commission. Others are being overhauled at the navy yards, undergoing alterations by contractors because of defects developed after they had been put in commission or, for other reasons were not now really in first cla^s readiness. About twelve submarines, he said, were undergoing annual overhauling. All the submarines, he added, should be in full readiness and preparedness for first class active service "some time in February."

Long Range Guns.

"How far off shore could a modern battleship lie and effectively shell one of our cities?" asked Representative Stevens, of California. "From eight to twelve miles distance." "Would a modern battleship attack and bombard a city from that distance knowing submarines were there?" "No, nor would they ordinarily, even if it were known that there were no submarines," he replied. "There Is nothing to be gained by bombarding a city unless it is occasioned by the occupation of the city by military forces or the presence of forts."

McDonald Suggests Policy for Nation to Adopt. WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.—Another resolution relating to military preparedness was introduced today by Representative McDonald of Michigan, who proposed to submit to referendum three national defense policies after investigation by a commission similar to that proposed by Representative Gardner.

Maintenance of the present policy with an annual appropriation not exceeding fifty per cent of the government expenditures until an annual available police policy may be organized with other powers such a naval police or haven for a military establishment "equal or superior to that of the strongest adversary likely to challenge any foreign policy of the United States," are the policies which would be submitted.

Roque Gonzales Garza, head of the committee, in his report, recommended to President Gutierrez that these persons be removed from office on the ground that their appointment had not been in line with "revolutionary interest."
