CHINESE PAPERS SPECULATIVE
 ON RESULTS OF THE BIG WAR.
Fear That Balance of Power in the
 Far East May Be Upset.

Picking, Sept. 17-Chinese newspa- pers are anxiously speculating as to the results of the present war in Eu- rope, and their effect upon The Hague tribunal and the possible arbitration of international disagreements in the future.
 The fear is general throughout Chi ma that the international balance of power maintained in the Far East be- fore the war may be upset as a result Of the present struggle. Many prom inent officials frankly say that the ab- solute crushing of Germany by the entente powers would be calamity for China, as they fear that such a condition would make it possible for Japan to enforce successfully the de- mands upon China which are now held in abeyance.
 This attitude of Chinese officials to- wards the war has been distasteful to the English in China. However, the English with large commercial inter est in the Far East are openly critical of Japans attitude toward China, and their outspoken criticism of the Jap anese demands has produced much l discussion in Japanese newspapers which has been reproduced in both the foreign and native press of Chi ma.
 China still pins faith to The Hague tribunal, and prominent Chinese news papers hope for the strengthening of it after the war by military force which will back up the decisions of this international court. While the war prevented China from suggesting that the recent demands of Japan be submitted to The Hague, the Picking Daily News urges that after the settlement of the present war the Chinese government must obtain from | The Hague tribunal a definite pro- | nouncement interpreting the open door policy in the Far East.
 What is the open door?" this paper asks. 'The favorite interpretation is | equal opportunity for the commerce | and industry of all nations in China This is a useful enough interpretation, but when 1t comes to practice 1t is found that Japan holds the principle of equal opportunity Is not violated if Japan obtains the exclusive right of railway construction in South Man. churia and Eastern Inner Mongolia | Can that theory be upheld. Most peo- l pie would agree without hesitation | that in forcing China to give her the | right to veto railway construction in these regions by the other powers, Ja-
 pan has wrested from them equal op- portunity.' Other nations must have possessed equal opportunity to con-
 struct railways prior to the new Chi
 would not have deemed it necessary tc
 compel China to withdraw the right
 by treaty.
 "To the non-Japanese mind there
 can be no question that in securing
 exclusive rights in South Manchuris
 and Eastern Inner Mongolia, and de-
 manding them in Fukien, Japan was
 deliberately violating her promise tc
 maintain the promise of equal oppor- | tunity. But Japan still maintains ir
 her demands she showed the fullest respect for her engagements. If Chi ma could obtain from The Hague tri-
 bunal some authoritative interpreta. ton of the expression equal opportu.
 nifty, she would find it much easier tc
 repel any endeavor to impair the prin- l ciple."

When an electric fan gets a hot box and goes on strike and when restaurant proprietor sees small black spots floating around behind his counter, it's pretty hot So far this month has been the hottest September for five years back as weather records kept by N. D. Sevin & Son and pub lished daily in The Bulletin show. The coldest September shown by The Bulletin files happened in 1911, when the mercury wavered between 6s and 36 and the nearest approach to present records occurred in 1914, when the mercury reached S4 during the 18th, 16th and 17th of the month
 Thermometers around the square In the past three days have shown read ing anywhere from 90 to 120 and out of the central part Of the city come reports stating that the mercury reg istered 95 and 100. In the Falls at o'clock Friday afternoon one ther- mometer registered S9 in the shade and the thermometer stands in a spot where the sun seldom reaches 1t.
 A local restaurant proprietor curious to know just how hot the atmosphere in which he stood all day was, pur- chased a thermometer and when he took the reading it said 9s, and then tiny black spots began to float about in front of him.

MICHAEL PHILLIPS
 DEAD AT PETERBoRo
Under Suspicious Cireumstances-Said
 to Have Come from Here,

An Associated Press despatch from Peterboro, N. H.. on Friday said:
 Arlin Coombs and Frank Bean, who were taken into custody yesterday af- ter a companion, Michael Phillips, had been found shot to death, were re- leased today following an autopsy which is said to have indicated the possibility of suicide.
 Phillips body was found on the bed in a room at a local hotel with a re- volver on a bureau six feet away. The first examination of the body indicated that the man had been shot through the heart and killed instantly, but it was later found that only the lung had been pierced, and officials believe that Phillips had ample time to place the revolver on the bureau before death ensued from loss of blood.
