WASHINGTON, May 16.—To-day's rabinet session, the longest singe ITesident Wilson entered the White 1' House, was almost entirely consumed by a dlwcussion of the C&lofornia- Jaoanese situation and of the United States reply to the Japanese protest against the enforcement of the anti- alien land bill. Two of the navy'a beat fighting ships, the Montana, due to sail from Algiers to-day, and the Tennessee, , now on her way across the Atlantic, were ordered home last week. The Navy Department declines to openly give its reasons for the return of the ships. It is aeml-officlally ad mitted that the war vessels were ordered home In the event that their .services are required. None of the participants would state definitely what action had been taken on any of the questions nor would they volunteer any Information of the results reached. Japa Next to Seek Full Citizenship. By JOHN TEMPLE GRAVES. WASHINGTON. May 16.—When a nation grounds its proteat upon a non-arbitrable point there is not much warrant for the presumption that it is looking for peace. Japan’s protest, as Interpreted by the message of President Wilson *o Governor Johnson on April 22, and in the stenographic report of his con, versati.on later with the* newspaper reporters, makes plain that “national honor” was the basis of Japanese feel ing in this matter, and that is now the accepted idea in Washington. Whether Governor Johnson signs the Webb bill to-morrow or next day, the issue is drawn sharply between the United States and Japan upon a point that can not be arbitrated and yet must be decided. The United States can not apologize to a foreign nation for the act of one of its several States. A State law that does not violate the terms of an international treaty qr the Constitution can not be abro gated by tke courts of the United States. New Treaty Possible. In case of Governor Johnson’s sig nature, then, the only policy that teems in sight for the President and Secretary of State is to form in con ference with Baron Chinda, the Jap anese Ambassador, a new treaty cov ering the point of issue between the two nations. This treaty can not be come vital and superior to State laws until it s fully ratified by the United States Senate. To satisfy Japan this new treaty must cover the point at issue in the present controversy. The most serious and entangling possibility rests in the idea noy/ gen erally entertained that Japan has from the beginning used this protest as a mere preliminary to a formal de mand that its people should be eligi ble to citizenship in the United States. (Maiming that the Japanese are a white people, that they are not Ala lays, but Aryans, it is believed that Japan will demand for them this right in the United States', and upon this demand that people may stand for peace or war. Japanese negotiations have so far utterly ignored the action of Arizona, whose land law is much more drastic than the original draft of the Cali fornia measure. This is regarded as significant. This, in brief, is the sit uation as it stands to-day. Practically an Ultimatum. The Japanese Ambassador Is im passive and absolutely silent. Upon the statement that Governor Johnson win s jgn the Webb bill his pfotest and the way in which it has been filed amounts practically to an ulti- ’ matum to our Government. _ A It is now the general feeling among officials of the State, War and Navy Departments that the time ie drawing near when our State Department will have to give a direct, positive and conclusive answer to Japan. The newspaper men. almost as a unit, have propounded the question. When? to the Secretary of State. Mr. Bryan is impassive. He admitted that so long as the bill was not signed the present f-'ituation could for some time be practically maintained. The State Department Indicates that there has been no change in the attitude of Japan since Mr. Bryan returned from Sacramento and Baron Chinda filed his.earnest protest. It is feared that Japan will now reject any compromise that does not carry with It the recognition of equality of citi zenship between Japanese and Amer icans. IS IN It KILL t Four Great Presbyterian Branches Reject Movement Because Time Is Not Ripe. All doubt was dispelled as to the possibility of union this year of the four great branches of the Presbyte rian C'hurch when their representa tive! for the first time in the history of the world gathered In a monster mass meeting at the Auditorium Thursday night. Speculation, rife as to the combi nation of the four great bodies since the opening of the meetings, was quickly turned Into realization. The verdict was: No organic union will be consummated at this time. The vast audience fairly bristled with stand-patters, those who could never part with their own doctrinal beliefs. And yet, even at this his toric assembly there was Indicated far out on the horizon of future ac tivity the union which now is Im possible. At present the unanimous desire is for union of spirit and the chief topics taken by the many speakers at the meeting was this. Throughout the addresses the building rang with praise as world- famous Presbyterisns took the pul pit for short addresses. Intermit tently hymns were sung by the thousands present. Atlanta Pastor Presides. The Rev. R. O. Fllnn, of Atlanta, presided. Dr. W. P. Jacobs, of Clin ton, S.

Judge Cleland asked for a commission appointed from the as sembly to investigate conditions about the United States. He said his in vestigations had shown him that the conditions were Indescribably horri ble.

A. Beattie, of Atlanta, presented the famous gavel made from the wood of four of the oldest Presbyterian theological sem inaries to the Assembly. “In case there is ever a union be tween the four churches, this gavel will be prophetic,” said Dr. Beattie in presenting it. J. K. Orr. welcoming the Presby terians in the name of Atlanta, said: "While some of you haven’t been down here since the war. still, notv that you are, we welcome you. We are glad to know that the prodigal has returned.” A strong plea for a national Chris tian movement was made by Dr. T. S. Clyce retired moderator of the Stouthern Assembly. Dr. Clyce urged that the great Presbyterian Church be the force behind such a project. “We should have greater power for religion In the national life of the world,” declared Dr. Clyce. “Our na tion should wield a moral force for good over the globe It remains for those who believe that God controls the nation to save America and the world.” Organic union was the subject taken by Dr. Hugh H. Bell, of San Francisco, retired moderator of the United Presbyterians. Dr. Bell’s ad dress was a strong argument In favor of such a combination. "We are not disagreed on the deity of Christ,” said Dr Bell. “We are not disagreed upon the importance of missions. We must not crucify a Christ because of our doctrinal dif ferences." Future Union Predicted. Following on the heels of Dr. Bell's address came that of Dr. Mark A. Matthews, retired moderator of the Northern Assembly, which prognosti cated with emphasis an organic union in the near future. Immense enthusiasm greeted James MacDonald, of The Toronto Globe, when he arose to speak. Mr. Mac Donald spoke on the international as pect of the church.
