RECONSTRUCTED
TO make INQUIRY
into SEA HOLOUP

Washington, Feb. 25.-The United
States today instructed Ambassador
Page at London to make inquiries at
the British foreign office regarding
the removal of 80 Germans, Aus
trians and Turks from the American
steamship China in Asiatic waters
and to demand the release of the
prisoners if they were arrested on the
high seas, as has been indicated.
Great Britain maintains extra ter
ritorial rights over the waters i'm
mediately adjacent to Shanghai, the
Chinas sailing port for San Fran
cisco. Should the British government
set up the claim that the vessel was
within waters under British juris-
diction the United States would not
have cause for further action.
Advices to the state department
leave in doubt the exact position of
the China. One consular report fixed
the location as ten miles off shore"
The state department has been adj
vised that the British foreign Office is
investigating the incident.

Official Admission of Loss by
Government Troops Is
Made by China.
NO ASSISTANCE ASKED
Governor of Yum Nan Re
quests U. S. and Other
Countries Neutrality.

Picking, Jan. 26.-(Correspondence
OF The Associated Press. Official
acknowledgment of the defeat of gov
eminent troops by the Yun-Nan rebels
on the Sze-Chuen border was with
held until today when the state de-
partment issued a mandate denounc-
ing Tsai 40, in which admission is
made that the revolutionists sur
prised the regular army and defeated
small garrison.
Information received in Picking
from non-Chinese sources shows that
the Yum Nanese who descended on the
city of Suifu and captured it num-
bered about 10000. The garrison of
Chinese at Suifu numbered about 1000,
but these troops left for the north
several days before the arrival of the
Yum Nanese and consequently there
was no resistance to the entrance of
the latter. The fleeing government
forces are reported to have started
north for Tze-Chow.
Rebel Forces Strong.
Estimates as TO the total strength of
the revolutionary army vary from TO-
900 TO 10000 but neutral military ex-
perts who have a knowledge of the
supplies the Yum Nan forces had be-
fore the trouble. are of the opinion
that the revolutionists can probably
put about 10000 men into the field
with fair infantry equipment. The
government has about three times this
many troops either in Hankow or on
their way to Yang-Tse ports. Trans
pOrtation on the river is difficult and
probably not more than 10000 have
reached. Chung-king, which is about
100 miles west of Suifu which now is
in the hands of the revolutionists.
Asks Strict Neutrality.
DR.. Paul S. Reinsch, American min
lister to China, and the heads of other
legations in Picking received a formal
circular dispatch today from Tang
Chi-Yao, the military governor Of
Yum Nan, and Jen Kao-Tseng, civil
governor of the same province, urging
foreign powers to remain neutral in
the present Chinese revolution.

TOGiUe Juru
Evidence on
Graft Probe

Chicago, Feb. 25.-The city civil
service commission inquiry into
charges made by Mrs. Page Waller
Eaton, resigned superintendent of the
bureau of social survey, that Mrs
Louise Osborne Rowe, commissioner
of public welfare, had forced her to
split her salary to aid in the support Of
Msr. William Hale Thompson's sister,
Mrs. Mivelaz, was resumed this morn
ing. The investigation by the council
committee on schools, fire, police and
civil service was completed yesterday
and the committee recommended that
the evidence be sent to the states at
torney to be laid before the grand
jury.
States Attorney Hoyne said he
would not take the matter up until af-
ter the primary election next Tues
day. He will then investigate it thor
oughly he said, and if evidence war
rants, will present it to the grand jury
for action.
The minority members Of the COM
mittee have also announced that they
will present minority report to the
council, and it is said the principal
recommendation of the report will be
that the council ask Mayor Thompson
to discharge Mrs. Rowe.
Mrs. Eaton, in telling her story to
the committee, offered no new devef-
opments in the alleged salary split
ting charges. She reiterated that Mrs.
Rowe told her that "Maizie Mrs
Thompson) says we've got to come
across and that for some months she
paid Mrs. Rowe one-third of her SAL
airy, ostensibly for the benefit of Mrs.
Mivelaz, sisterin-law of the mayor.
Seymour Stedman, counsel for Mrs.
Eaton, also took the stand and he was
followed by W. E. Rodriguez, social
list aldermen who brought the charges
OF graft on the floor of the council.
and by Fulton Gardner, an electrician,
both OF whom said they had seen Mrs.
Eaton pay money to Mrs. Rowe.
Rodriguez and Gardner also appear
ed before the civil service commits
sion, together with a number of minor
employees in the department of public
welfare.
Mrs. Eaton issued a statement to-
day declaring any attempt to blacken
her character would be met by resort
to the courts for redress.
A summons has been issued by the
civil service commission for Mrs. D.
NJ. Sabin, widow of former United
States Senator Sabin of Minnesota. to
appear as witness at the Eaton
Rowe hearing.
Mrs. Eaton a number of years ago
had business dealings with Senator
Sabin and after his death figured in
contest over insurance policies in
which she was made the beneficiary.

GERMANS CAPTURE SIX ENEMY FORTS
THE WAR
TODAY

The great battle around the fort.
ress OF Nerdun. which has been in
progress for nearly week be.
tween the Germans and French
continues with increasing violence.
Emperor William himself. not far
behind the battle line. is directing
the movements of his forces. En-
gagements on all other fronts are
dWarfed In comparison with the
battle OF Nerdun, and the outcome
OF the struggle is watched with the
keenest interest everywhere. The
GermaDs appear to be forcing the
hghting, regardless Of the cost Of
life. One French official report
describes the battlefield between
the Meuse and Ornes as piled with
German dead. With their on
slaught Of artillery and infantry,
the Germans have not been able
to break the French line. but the
French on their right and left
wings have been compelled to
withdraw their lines, respectively
to the south of 0rnes and behind
the town Of Samogneux, six miles
north of Verdun. The correspond
ent Of the London Times says the
artillery fire has become so ter
rifle that the trench, at moments,
becomes OF no value as defense,
and consequently there has been a
necessary partial return to war
of movement. He further says that
should the unexpected happen and
the entire first line fall into the
hands of the Germans. they still
would be confronted by five other
lines. increasing in strength as
they approach the fortress.
Champaneuyille is still within
the French lines, the official state
ment indicates. the new front be-
ing somewhat TO the east. This vii
lage, which may be the next point
of German attack. is something
more than mile southwest of
SamOgneaux. on the east bank of
the PaSserelle canal. which leads
to Verdun. Beaumont. behind
which the French front now eX.
tends. is almost due north of Ner-
dun and about seven miles distant.
According to Paris the Germans
have halted in their offensive for
the moment at least.
The Turkish official statement
tells OF another attempt by the
British to advance below kut.El-
Amara on the TigriS. The attack
ers were repulsed with heavy
losses.
President Wilson. in letter
last night to Senator Stone, chair
man Of the senate foreign rela.
lions committee, announces in re.
gard to movement on congress in
favor of warning Americans not to
take passage on armed belligerent
merchantmen, that he will not con-
sent to any infringement of the
rights of American citizens in any
respect. The president expresses
confidence that the explanation
from the central powers of the
situation that has arisen over their
armed merchantmen memoranda
will put different aspect on mat
tiers. In announcing his stand the
president says: "The honor and
self respect of the nation is in
y0Iyed. We covet peace and shall
preserve 1t at any cost, but the loss
of honor"
