here as to the merits OF the change.
In some quarters close to the admin
istration, the view Is held that a de-
cision can be postponed with mo dis
advantage to China; but the opinion
also is held that monarchial form
of government with a liberal parlia-
ment would aid in the development
of national unity in China.
That the subject is likely to- de-
yelop more Importance as the No

the citizens convention in China APP
proaches Is evident from the effort
being made by the Allies to persuade
President Yuan Shi Kai to issue a
decree postponing decision OF the
question indefinitely. In Allied quar-
ters here, it Is denied that France is
unsympathetic with Great Britain.

Influenced by Germany.
The story was advanced among
diplomats representing the Allies
here that China is being Influenced
Indirectly by Germany in the hope
that the political situation in the far
East will be again disturbed and ia
pans attention concentrated ON pos
sible revolutionary outburst in China
with the resultant suspension OF ann

verely when the japanese Chinese ne
gotiations were at a critical state last
winter. and Japan was hording its
war munitions against emergencies.
There is nothing to indicate Ger
many's attitude toward the change
! of government in China. So far as
known there has been no Conversation

bassador and officials not only are
unadvised as to what the views of
the Berlin government might be, hut
they are not likely to inquire as the

Washington.-Plans for the interna tional naval pageant through the Pan anna Canal next March, already con siderably intefered with by the wal in Europe, may be further curtalled by the condition of the waterway itself.
 Following the arrival of Colonel Goethals, governor of the canal, in Washington, it developed that there is proepe ct that conditions in tae Cule bra Cut wG remain uncertain for a considerable period owing 10 serious slides In that part Of the canal. Wheth CT it will be advisable to attempt tc pass a laree number of giant warships through the canal at one time as soon as next Anrch Nil remain a doubtful question for te months at least
 At prs ent there Is a channel through se part of Guiclra Cut where the slides are swing most trouble which Is only lao feet wido. All taa dredges which can be accommodated in Che space about the slides without blocking navigation are being kept at work night and day, but 1t Is about all they can do to keep even with the movement of earth. Already the canal has been twice closed to navigation hy sudden aceelerations of the slides and the indications are that for the present no guarantee can be given that such blockings of the channel will not recur.
 The most modern dreadnoughts oi the United States have beams of 96 and s7 feet, giving a margin of only three feet through the channel. This is regarded as pulling things pretty fine and most of the officials on the canal do not believe It advisable to expose vessels representing Si5.000.. coo each to damage by sending them through Culebra Cut under such condi tions. Ordinary navigation is but lit. tie menaced in using the canal. as most of the merchant vessels passing through are less than 10.000.tou ships, while the latest battleships are from 25,o0o to S0,000 tons displacement.

 CHEER UP AND EXPAND FOR BOOM
If You Want Prosperity Do Your Share to Bring lt, RedfieId Says
SEE POLAND AND BELGIUM
This Country May Slow Down a Bit But 1t Never Stops Growing Examples Of American Pluck
 Shown by Cities Laid Waste.

Washington. - Secretary of Com. meree Redfield is out with a New Year greeting telling the business men of the country 10 cheer up. ex- tend their plants and get ready for the coming good times If they are inclined to be down in the mouth let them look at Belgium and Poland and think how much better off they are than the folks iii those countries. This is the Reddeld greeting:
 'If you want prosperity, do your share to bring it, and do 1t now. Get that addition on your shop going, lt will cost you less today than in six months hence. Is trade & bit dull in the works? Get those Improvements begun. Prices are low and likely to rise. You've been thinking of that contract work. better start it yourself before things get the start Of you
 This count=y slows down 8 bit now and then but it never stops growing and 1t always moves up and not down.
 Think of Belgium and Poland. oh, man with a grouCh, and slink into your hole and pull 1t in after you There think of your sins and your blessings and come out with your courage in working order
 There are lots of good American examples of pluck. Do you remember San Francisco. Galveston. Chicago. Boston. Charleston, Baltimore and Dayton and many others like them? Remember Thomas A. Edison and lots of others of your fellow csizens who showed pluck when things were hard.
 Nothing is the matter with the man with a groueh except an absent heart and missing nerve Cheer up: go to work, do your level best: quit talking misery. The war Is over yon- der-they are living here. It's all clouds there-clear day here
 Get out and sell some goods. Plant some more acres; do more work than you planned. Talk cheer ful talk and you will find this coun- try of ours pretty good place after all"
