TO RECOGNIZE CHINA.

WASHINGTON. April S.-Tde
United States will be the only one of
the six power group to recognize the
Chinese Republic to-day when the
new government is launched upon the
meeting of the constituent assembly
in Pekin. Great Britain remains aloof
on account of involved treaty rela-
tionS. and Japan. Russia, Germany
and France are not ready to grant the
desired recognition.
Mexico and South American repub-
lies are expected to recognize the new
nation.
The only reason for delay given o.
the State Department is a disposition
TO receive details Of the adoption Of
a constitution, but it is not believed
that will delay the formal recognition.
The British Ambassador will go n
China this month to observe the new
assembly in session.

His action shattered a precedent that
has a standing of 100 years, He is
the first President to have personally
read his message to Congress in over
a century.
The President arrived at the Capt.
to1 few minutes before 1 o'clock, ac-
companied by his secretary and secret
service men. a..
The House galleries have seating
capacity of less than 1000 and the
public had no show to-day. Each
member of the Senate and House re-
ceiyed only two tickets, despite loud
cries for more. The Presidents sreia-
tives and friends occupied the eXecu-
tive galleries and the Cabinet officers
were also supplied with the coveted
pasteboard.

hear his message, and, accompanied
by his secretary and followed by the
select committee from the House and
Senate, he passed through the lobby
of the House and entered at the left
of the Speakers desk.
Seated on the Speakers rOstrum
were the Speaker and Vice President

narily occupied by the reading clerk
of the House, and read his message,
which dealt with the tariff.
All members of the Cabinet except
Secretary of State Bryan and Secre-
tary of Commerce Redfield followed

riages and occupied seats on the floor
of the House.

concluded the reading of his message
he left the House. accompanied by the
House and Senate committee which
had been appointed to greet him. He
was escorted to the elevator and de-
parted the same way he came, step
ping into. his automobile at 1872
o'clock and returning to the White
House. The Presidents visit to the

who cheered and waved handker-
chiefs and canes at his approach.

Members of the posse believe that
the burglars struck Taylor's Ridge,

Steve Garrett, one of the victims oil
the battle with the burglars. who was
removed TO a hospital in Rome, is
considered in a critical condition.
Deputy Sheriff VIII Alexander was
resting comfortably at 3 o'clock.
Five bandits shortly after mid
night blew the vault of the Bank u
Commerce and escaped with S3,6OO IN
90 sh and about $1,000 in stamps, the
latter belonging to the SummerVille
POstofiice, after cutting all telephone
lines and shooting down two men.
\ posse of IS men, with blood
hounds, from Chattanooga and Rome
trailed them for several hours
Summerville and vicinity are wildly
excited, and if the bandits are caught
violence is feared.
The bandits fought desperate bat
tie i'm the streets with officers and clti-
zens before they succeeded in blowing
the bank vault.
The explosion that wrecked the
vault aroused practically every one IN
Summerville. The shock was felt dis
tinCtly mile away, according TO y.
A. Fletcher, who thought it was an
earthquake.
The work Of the bandits bore evil
dcnce of having been carefully plan
ned and executed by professionals.
The bandits rode here in an auto
mobile, stopping on the outskirts,
about midnight. They made detour
of the town on foot, cutting the wires,
after which they slipped into the main
street, on which the bank is located.
Pickets were placed in the street
leading to the bank, while others OF
the gang forced an entrance into the
bank building.
Before the robbers had finished
drilling the heavy steel vault door for
uitroglycerine, with which they blew
it open, they were discovered by Jo-
seph Beavers, who was in drug
store near by. He turned a fash
light on them from his window. I'M
mcdiately there was a vOlley of shots
fired at him, and he cXtinguished his
light.
Beavers summoned viii Alexander,
deputy sheriff and jailer, and Alb
Pless, who occupied an upstairs room
directly opposite the bank.
Alexander started to the bank and
had gone within fifteen yards of the
piCkets when he was fired upon, being
wounded three times-in the neck,
near the jugul3r vein, i'm an arm,
which was broken, and in the side.
The robbers got several rolls Of
heavy wire from the store of Cleg-
horne Brothers, located in the ba ak
building, and with this built a barTi-
cade Using this as a breastworks,
part of the gang fought off the at
lacking party, while the others com
pleted the robbery before enough citi-
zens had arrived to seriously intes-
rupt them.

INCREASE
OF OFFICERS PAY
ny Latest MALL

PARIS, August 1.-The minister
of war, M. Etienne, in spite of the
grave financial condition of the
states finances, has placed an ur-
gency proposal before the chamber
for increasing the pay of all officers
and non-commissioned officers of the
army and navy. In introducing the
bill he said that the new law of
three years service in the army aims
not only at an increase of the effec-
tive, but also an improvement of
conditions, the want of which was
seen in the decrease of cadets in the
military schools.
The present scale of officers pay in
the French army will come as a sur
prise to most Americans 1t is:
General Of division, $3.50; brigadier
general, $3.50; colonel, after five
years, $500; major, after four years,
1880; senior captain, 1880; senior
lieutenant, $40; senior sub-lieuten-
ants, $3.50, and junior lieutenants,
s575. The pay of United States Off
GERS of similar rank is over twice as
much.
Naturally, many allowances are
added to the smaller French salaries,
together with free barrack residence
for the unmarried officers; but never
theless, even with the proposed addi-
tons, the yearly pay can scarcely be
considered as attractive 1t is sug-
gestod that generals should receive
an addition of $215 a year, brigadier
generals $3.50, colonels $575 SfterA five
years, the pay till then to be left at
the present rate. The pay of majors
will be raised by $40, that of senior
captains by $3.50, senior lieutenants
$207.50 and juniors by SOS
Similar increases are proposed for
naval officers, and although the indi-
ividual pay appears small, NJ. Etienne

LONDON. - The London county
council held its last meeting recently
before the summer recess and ad-
journed until Oct. IA. During the five
months since the new council came
into being the most important mat
tiers which have come before 1t for
consideration have been the state Of
the tramway undertaking, education
and housing, all Of which questions
present serious difficulties for solu.
ton.
AS regards education there has
been q considerable degree Of agree
ment.- on general principles at least,
between the two parties in the coun-
ell. At any rate there is not the
same keen criticism Of the educa-
tional policy Of the Moderate party
by the Progressives as there Is with
regard to the policy Of the Moderates
In other directions.
As the chairman Of the finance COM
mittee predicted last year the check
in the rise Of the education rate has
proved to be only temporary. and the
rate now stands at Is Id In the
pound as compared with the first edu-
cation rate of the county council of
Is. Cd. in 1906. The rate in 1928
was Is. 9Ad. The cost Of medical
inspection and the provision of free
meals absorb steadily increasing
sums and the cost of education Is not
likely to diminish as the result Of the
new education bill which is soon to
be the principal work Of the govern
ment.
The council has attempted for q
considerable time to obtain larger
grant in aid of education from the
government and from DR.. Pease's re-
cent speech il seems likely that they
will be successful.
The tramways still present an ex-
ceedingly serious and difficult prob
lem. According to the Progressiyes.
