chinn Nearing Crisis.

Washington, d. c. September Ia
IN the opinion of students OF Oriental
affairs, China is rapidly approaching "a
great crisis In her history The upris-
ing In SZe-Chuen province is expected
to extend to other neighborinc prov
lnces and especially to the southwark
where the Mongolian element ha. for
many years been opposed to the reign
ing Manchu dynasty. Evidently pre-
pared for trouble. the Chimes govern
ment has been quick to dispatch troops
INTO the disaffected district and TO deal
with the situation with n strong hand
IL is believed here that the govern

present disturbance. though the un
1oreseen disastrous flooding of the
Yang-tse valley is expected to drive
thousands of the unfortunate natives
whose means of support have been de-
stroyed, into the ranks Of the revolu
tionists.
But 1t is believed that this SEE
Chuen uprising Is only the precursor of
other outbreaks in different parts Of
the Flowery Kingdom for the fact is
that the struggle now going on is
really gigantic test OF the relative
strength and power of the central gov
eminent as opposed to the provincial
governments-in other words. the sit

The aviators were presented to tho
Premier. Their scouting appears to
have been remarkable. From heights
varying from 1000 to 1900 feet they
noted every movement of the troops
during daylight and reported the loca-
ton OF all the batteries except such
as were hidden by the forests.
There are numerous applicants
among the young officers for transfer

that the science Of flying has opened

Paris, September 13.-After Presi

aerlIn ID optim,.tic.

Berlin, September 13.-During tho
past few days both at the foreign Of
fee and in social circles the minister
of foreign affairs. Herr Won Kiderlen-
Waechter. has expressed implicit con-
fidence in q satisfactory settlement
with France regarding Morocco.
This confidence is reflected by the
staff of the Foreign Office, which OK
poets that the French answer to the
latest German note will be receives not
later than Monday, and perhaps even
as early as tomorrow. The answer.
1t is believed. Will accept ap art of the
German proposals, leaving others for
further negotiations.
The officials scout tn assertion that
the reply of France will amount 10
an ultimatum.
1t is explained that Germany's de-
mand 70 ran allotment of 80 per cent in
whatever railway and other conces-
sions France obtains in Morocco has
been wrongly interpreted abroad. This
division, which Germany also would
reciprocate toward France. does not
touch the concessions obtained by other
countries. The latter are free to get
without sharing with Germany or
France.
Regarded as Fair by Germany.
The Foreign Office regards this ar
rangement as fully within the terms of
the Algeciras agreement and not as
infringing the rights of outside pow
ers Th Bourse continues more opti-
mistic concerning the Moroccan situa-
ton. Nevertheless. stocks opened
somewhat lower to-day. owing to dis
appointment over the course of yes
terday's market at New York.
The withdrawals of French money
assumed much more serious proper
lions to-day causing an unusually
sharp advance in Paris sight exchange.
The movement. however, does not excite
particular concern among Berlin haan-
ciers. because tie Paris balances here
had already been reduced to less than
one-third the normal at the end Of Jur e.
1t is assumed in some quarters that
the Paris banks are acting on hint
from the French government In order
to bring pressure at Wilhelmstrasse 20

calculation. it Is believed, will be
wholly without effect upon the Ger
