This is important We should call to

Ihas told Chinese that he would insist

ment and advise them not to follow
the American constitution as a model.
The Asia Jippa, a Chinese daily in

Among Those interested.
But the people We're surprised that
it was suddenly preached at this time.
Among the organizers Of the society
are included men of revolutionary
turn of mind, such as Ii Wang,hua,
who attacked the Shanghai arsenal in

young man who was imprisoned on &C
count of the revolution. It shows
how times have changed. The, Chi

The society organized for national
peace maintenance at the instance of
some of the members of the Tsan. vi
Yuan, including Yangtu, Sun Yek-Chin
and others has issued a declaration
in favor of q monarchy for China.
says a Shanghai despatch published
on August Is in the Japan Advertiser
of Toxic.
The declaration follows:
"Since the revolution Of 1911 the
people Of our country have been car
ried away by sentiment. We have
been trying to remove the friction be-
tween the different races and could
not work for the development of gov
ernmentall affairs. The idea of re-
public was adopted in a hurry with
cut carefully considering whether or
not that system was suitable to US.
Once it was urged, We did not
choose, but adopted 1t. Intelligent
men knew that the evils of the system
would be great but there was no 9th

tie Of the Marne party existed in
France which was ready to sign
peace treaty, ceding to Germany the
towns CT Briey and Nancy, French
and the protectorate of Morocco and
an indemnity. The article continues:
Gen. Joffre, the commander-in-
chief, President Poincare and most
of the cabinet ministers were op-
posed to the plan, but the situation
became so tense as to necessitate the
resignation of Adolph Messimy as
minister of war and the formation Of
ministry Of national defense.

Premier Joseph Caillaux, offering to
give up the provinces of Alsace and
Lorraine, with the exception of
Strassburg, receiving in exchange a
small zone on the north seacoast ex-
tending from Calais to Dunkirk
France, in addition, was to ac!I2nwl-
