Washington, Dec. 13,-The signifi
cance of Yuan Shi Kai's reported ac-
ceptance of the Chinese throne does not
appear on the surface, but lies behind
the veil of diplomatic intrigue with
Japan, the prime mover in the game.
There is, however, nothing in the
change itself to disturb China at pres
ent or to menace the peace of the Far
East, as the japanese foreign minister
is reported to have said. China is not
now, menacing, nor has she ever recent.
ly menaced the peace of the Far East or
any part of the world.
Without doubt, her reversion to n
monarchy after a brief trial Of the re-.
publican form of government suits the
vast majority of Chinese. They prefer,
too, to have Yuan Shi Kai continue at
the head of the government. Moreover,
most foreigners think that a monarchy
is better suited to China's position at
present. As far as China herself is
concerned, this change makes for orde
and peace-not for disturbance.

AUSTRIA MUST
COME TO TERMS
WITHOUT DELAY
Note Sent Her Over the Sink
ing Of the AncOna De-
mands Answer
DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS
MAY BE DISCONTINUED
Emperor Is Told the Demands
Must Be Acceded To
Without 0uibbline

Washington, Dec. 13.--America will
flying demands made upon the latter in
connection with the torpedoing of the
Italian liner Ancona with loss of Amer
lean lives. In short, crisp terms the
note, published broadcast today, de-
mands denunciation of the act, punish
ment Of the commander, reparation for
lives lost. In words, bluntly frank,
Austria is told of America IS abhor-
renee of such an act.
How Germany will advise her ally
Austria to answer is the big question
in officialdom today. The note points
out tnat Austria is familiar with the
notes America has sent Germany. The
kaiser, as directing spirit of the coal
ition, is expected to do the directing.
One probability is that Austria
will feel out America with partly sat
isfactory reply Yet the note is a
warning against such course.
In fact diplomats declared the docu-
ment employed the sharpest and most
emphatic language America has ever
used to another nation. Austria is
scarcely expected to like the note; but
as indicated to the United Press Satur-
day by n high official, the kaiser will
probably counsel satisfaction in view
of the fact, that in his present position
he can scarcely desire to have the
forces of the enemy augmented,
After pointing to its evidence that
the Austrian submarine commander
pursued n wanton course in shelling
and sinkino the liner, particularly be-
fore the passengers had time to get to
safety, the note expressed the view
that the act was violation of inter-
national law and of humanity, and de-
manded:
GAS the good relations of the two
countries must rest on q common re-
gard for law and humanity, the gov
ernment of the United States cannot
be expected to do otherwise than de-
mand that the imperial and royal gov
ernment denounce the sinking of the
AncOna as an illegal and indefensible
act; that the officers who perpetrated
the deed be punished; and that repara-
tion by the payment Of an indemnity
be made for the citizens of the United
States who were killed or injured by
the attack on the vessel.
iub government VI bnb bHlbV0
States expects that the Austro- Hun
garian government, appreciating the
gravity Of the case, will accede to its
demand promptly; and it rests this ex-
pectation on the belief that the Austro-
Hungarian government will not sane
tion or defend an act which is con-
demned by the world as inhumane and
barbarous, which is abhorrent to all
civilized nations, and which has caused
the death Of innocent American citi-
zens.'
While the document does not mem
ton the alternative in event Of re-
fusal, break in diplomatic relations is
regarded the only outcome should Aus
tria fail to comply.
Acting Ambassador Zwiedinek ar
ranged a conference with Secretary Of
State Lansing today, and while he did
not indicate what he desired to discuss,
IL was believed he hoped to explain em-
barrassing diplomatic correspondence
bearing his name, rather than the An
coma case.

Athens, Dec. 13.-The allies reported
evacuation Of Giegveli and Lake Doir-
an, in the southern corner of Serbia,
was confirmed today. Pressing forward
slowly, the Bulgars are said to be five
miles from the Greek border.
Since Saturday, the allies have been
retreating into Greece in disorder
some reports Indicate. But they are
expected to make stand and fight
eff the pursuers at almost any moment
1t is understood here that in the event
the Bulgars enter Grecian territory and
continue their onslaught against the
allies, Greece will not oppose them.
Though the Bulgarians have done
valiantly, two assaults against the
British front cost them 5000 troops
They swept forward in mass formation
through heavy fog to within 500
yards of the British line. Then ma.
chine gun and rifle fire shattered their
ranks.
AS for the French the Bulgrs
aqueezed them against the River Var
dar and then battered them southward
toward Greece. Here again fierce re.
Ristance made it costly for the assail-
ants.
By q successful flanking attack the
Rulgars,' however, forced the French to
evaeuate strong positions in the hills
and their artillery thereupon wrecked
the French second line.
"There are no more free French or
English in Montreal" the statement
said.
The last Serbian regulars have fled
into Albania, while the Bulgars are
pursuing them by way Of Struga and
Ochrida. Moreover, with the exception
of few hundred Serbian guerilas, no
hostile forces remain in Serbian terri
tory to oppose the central allies.

morning and Coroner Clough was i'm.
me1iately notified. The coroner from
Folk county also came to the scene of
the accident and with Coroner Clough
reviewed the conditions leading up to
the death of Mr.. Brophy which con
yinced them that it was purely an acci.
dent. The gate that led to the pasture
was Of iron covered with wire and was
hung on pulleys. Tie gate did not close
readily and it was necessary to give it
several hard jerks before it could be
closed. 1t was evident that in his eff.

Toxic, Dec. 13.-The japanese press

flouted Japan's advice not to turn the
republic into an empire at this time.
The papers urged that Japan make
proper presentations.
Why then this talk of disturbance in

The answer is found in the history Of
events Of the last four years. The reyo-
luton found Japan intriguing to fr
ment internal strife in China by sup
porting both sides. When leading
Chinese saw this trap and compromised
on nominal republic, Japan fomented
the abortive rebellion 1913 headed by
Sun Yat Sen. After the rebel leaders

There is not the slightest danger Of

WAR BREAKS OUT ON

: Aboard the Peace Ship Oscar
H., by wireless to Landsend,
England, Dee. 13.-War has
broken out aboard the Henry
I Ford's peace argosy.
Several of the delegates,
( whom the Detroit automobile
maker asked to help in straigh-
tening out Europe's war tangle,
: are preparing to quit the ship at
Christiania, Norway, and return
to America, because they allege,
the extreme pacificists have
; adopted an insulting attitude
: towards those upholding Presi-
dent Wilson IS preparedness
; doctrine.
Ford himself is trying hard to
prevent an open break. He de-
MES responsibility for "steam
roller" tactics, employed by the
: extremists.
As matter of fact, the accu-
sation is not directed against
Ford, but chiefly against Rev.
: DR.. Charles F. Aked of San
Francisco, and Jenkin Lloyd
; Jones.
A complete split is imminent.
The row broke out Friday.
; The San Francisco divine in
trOduced a meeting of the peace
voyagers u resolution signed by
Ford and 80 others, opposing
preparedness. Aked intimated
that those who refused to sign
; this document would be unload
: ed at the first port. While
; Ford denied that they would
be thus unloaded, he continued
to support the anti-preparedness
group.
The conversation veered into
alterations in which the Ian
guage became not only personal
; but profane.
; Then when the situation made
: cooler heads fearful Of a split,
; they tried to reunite the war
; ring parties. Those suggesting a
compromise proposed a resolu-
tion opposing competitive
armaments, but avoided refer
