China INSISTS
MONGOLIA MUST
REMAIN Chinese

According 10 news Received here by
prominent Chinese RusSiaS attempt
70 force the Chinese republic to grant
the independence Of Mongolia will be
vigorously opposed President Yuan
Shi Kai OF the new republic refused
TO aCCede TO the demands of the Car
as stated by the Russian ambassador
and warned the latter that the Chi
nese republic would resist any al
tempt on the part of Russia to inter
fere with the controlling OF Mongolia
President Yuan is quoted as saying
that rebelliOus Mongolia would be
forced to remain under the Chinese
flag
For many years Russia has looked
longingly at Mongolia, and when the
MOngOlians demanded their indepeRd
ence from the new republic, Russia
said it recognized the independence of
the province and would support the
movement. At that time China dis
patched armed troops to Mongolia
and Urga, the capital OF Mongolia,
was made the seat of the republics
troops. Russia was cautioned not to
interfere by China then.
The Russian. ambassador held a
long conference with President Yuan
in the presidential mansion at Picking
recently. The representative OF the
Car informed President Yuan that
China would have to agree to Rus.
sia's terms in regard to the Mongo.
liam situation or fight. President Yuan
is reported in the cablegram as hav-
ing said:
China can never agree to the Rus
sian terms, inasmuch as Mongolia has
ever been a part of China, and it is
the duty of China to retain the pro-
vince come what may. China will re-
sist any attempt on the part of Rus
STA or any other nation to take the
province away from the republic"
Russia's demands of China concern
ing the settlement of the claims of
Mongolia for independence are:
l. That China does not increase it's
standing army in Mongolia.
2. That China does not increase it's
number of officials in Mongolia.
3. That China permit Mongolia to
govern itself and make it's own laws.
China maintains that to agree to
Russia's terms virtually would be ad-
hitting the independence of Mongo-
liza. Picking is considerably aroused
over the situation, and. there is much
talk of war.

pected to establish guarantees, but
often patients maye have disease
germs and be communicating them 10
neighbors for days before the serious
nature of the disease Is discovered.
Under the system DR.. Pratt will urge,
these. laboratory examinations could
be made on each island. and the dan
ger of transmitting contagion be cut
to the minimum
DR.. Pratt says he found the planta-
ton camps 5on Hawaii in excellent
condition. His inspection throughout
the Kona district was thorough, and
he visited most of those along the Ha-
makua coast and around Hilo, omit
ting only Kohala and Puma.
A change in the plans for the pro-
posed new hospital at Kona must be
made, as the original specifications
exceeded the $4,000 appropriation for,
the structure. DR.. Pratt says that in
addition to the hospital building extra
cottages shoHld be erected for the Ko>
na physician and for the nurses. and
an extra appropriation for this prob
ably will be asked in his recommen-
dations to the governor.

DIR. PRATT FOR
HEALTH WORK
ON ISLANDS

Dr. ]. S. B. Pratt, who returned this
morning from a weeks tour of the
Big Island. in recommendations to be
made shortly to the governor will
ask that the legislature be urged to
provide an appropriation making pos
sible a bacteriologist for each one of
the larger islands of the territory.
This, he says, is very necessary to aid
in the early detection and checking
of contagious diseases.
At present the laboratory work for
the island of Hawaii is done largely
by. Health Inspector Bowman, who has
charge of the health work there. but
most of the work for the other islands
is handled in Honolulu. Serum from
patients suspected of having conta-
gious maladies must be sent to the
Honolulu laboratory for examination.

other hearing before the railroads and
canals committee Of the House yester-
day afternoon, John Fitzgerald. rep

that it had been at their disposal. Mr..
Van Syckel is one of the commission
that drew the pending bill for aban-
donment.
