CH|NKS HAVE NJ MONEY FUR
 RAILWAYS

| PEK1NG, Sept. 1.-The plan of the Chinese Government tc build system ,of electric railways along the great thoroughfares leading out from the principal gates of the city has been abandoned for the present because of the difficulty of financing the scheme in Europe while the war continues. An effort to place the contract with Americans has also failed.
 Newly paved roads, however, are increasing rapidly, and American mo- tor cars are seen to be more num- erous. Beginning with the date of the Manchu ebdication three and a half years ago the transition from the siowgoing Peking carts and sedan chairs has been one of the most re- markable changes in the city.

 IF HISTORIC VALUE

PEKING, Sept. 1-An American who recently arrived from the far in- terior of China, had with him when he reached Picking a string of copper coins with holes through the center such as he had been using on his journey. The whole string, two feet in length, was deemed to be worth about ten or fifteen cents, for the coins were only the ordinary "cash" in cur rent use in the province of Shensi, from which the traveller came; but upon examination by a member of the American Legation who knows the Chinese language, it was found that some bore the marks of emperors as far back as the year 2S4 A.

 WAR ZONE TO CUT OFF COMMERCE TO GREECE

Saloniki. Nov. 22--It is rumored here that the entente allies have de- c1ded to carry the commercial block ade to the extent of. establishing 8 war zone around Greece and cutting off all supplies.

It is expected that measures taken by the allies may result in the withdrawal of Greek troops from the frontier or even in partial demo bihzatfon.

PRESIDENT PLANS
 TO AID CONGRESS
 IN RAISING FUNDS

Washington, Nov. 22-President Wilson, will indicate in his annual message to Congress, which he is now writing, how in his opinion the money necessary to provide for national de- fense, as proposed by the adninisv tratfon may be raised.
 This was indicated as the result of last nights conference between the President and Representative Fitz- gerald of New York, chairman of the House appropriation committee. MT. Fitzgerald in urging the President to deal with the question, called atten- ton to the fact that the President was authorized to do so by Congress. Some of the SPresident's advisors, however, have told him that inas- much as the House has sole authority to originate revenue legislation, he ought not to appear to usurp that honor.
 A number of Democratic leaders in Congress, including MT. Fitzgerald and Senator Underwood. are opposed to a bond issue to provide for the de- fense plans because such expendi- lures would have to be continued from year to year.
 The President will lay aside prae- tically all other work this week in order to have, if possible, his message in the hands of the printer before Thanksgiving day. The President in
 his message, probably will lay stress the army and. navy, merchant marine. rural credits, greater measures of self government for the Philippines, con. servation, and ratification of the Hay tian, Colombian and Nicaraguan treaties.

HINERY OF U. s. CALLED
 TO DEFEATPLOTs

Washington, Nov. 22-The whole machinery of the United States gov ernment will be employed to run down and punish those responsible for fac tory explosions, intimidation of labor and other acts of violence against American industries.
 This is made clear in an announce ment by--sAttorney General Gregory who calls upon state authorities to use equal vigor in dealing with law lessness beyond the reach of federal status.
 The attorney general was led to act, he says, as a result of the frequency with which the acts of violence have occurred recently, adding that the sit nation demands vigorous action on the parts of the state and federal govern ments. Attention is called by MT Gregory to the difficulty of prosecution of crimes of violence such as arson, malicious destruction of Droperty,. etc, under the federal criminal status He states that these offenses must ;ordi- narily be dealt with under state laws ssss The lawless acts can only be sup pressed, according to officials, through the cooperation of state officers ana labor leaders with the federal author ities.
 New York, Nov. 22.-An the evidence gathered by agents of the United States government here bearing on the plots to prevent war munitions from reaching the entente allies, will be submitted to the federal grand jury within short time probably this week. It is understood that when the presentation is complete, a blanket in- edictment will be asked against all the persons said to be involved except such as may be exempt under the law
 It is asserted that directors of the alleged conspiracfes, controlled a fund of $40. 100000. Contributions to this fund have .been the subject of gov ernnent inquiry. The evidence now virtually ready flor the consideration of the grand jury is understood to cocer the whole field of foreign crim- ina1 activity in America in the traffic in fraudulent passports, plots to blow up steamships carrying war munitions to the allies, fires and explosions in munitions plants, efforts to foment strikes in those plants, attempts to make Teutonic workers go on strike and efforts to buy control of intuition plants.
