 CHINA IS DOMINANT
Threatens the Existence of the
 Present Government

EPeking, Nov. 5.--Military leaders Iom the various provinces have just 9fld conference at Hsuchowfu in Hiangsu province, which threatens the sfistence of the present government
 Aould the parliament persist in it's ef- rorts to restrict the power of the mili- tary. General Chang Hsun, who is pfobably the most feared of all the oid time military leaders in China, Glled the conference. and many of the newspapers which are in sympa- thy with the present parliament charge that Yuan Chi-jui, the premier, iS in sympathy with the position taken hy the military.
 EThe conference declared that party rplttics is displacing all desire for peace and harmony under the present government, and that the national as- sAmbly which is now wrangIing in Pe- E1ng has accomplished nothing and is b@ing manipulated by political leaders, who would be willing to sell their ceuntry if they were able to attain their selfish ends"
 EIt was the chief purpose nf the con- ference to form a military union for the checking of violent characters and the preservation of peace. While the HElitary conference favored the prin- cLple of having a national assembly, it vfent on record as being in favor of a d4ssolution of the assembly by mili- t&ry force should that body take steps inimical to the welfare of the nation.
 EThe conference also considered the proposed constitution which the na- tbnal assembly is about to draft, and

HEAVY TOWN VOTE
 LOOKED FOR TOMORROW
Total Ballots Expected to Run Up to
 1,4o0 Possibly.

A heavy vote is looked for in the balloting in Killingly tomorrow. It is estimated that 1900 men will vote in the three districts and some prophets figure that the total may reach 1.400 which would be unusually high. Pre- parations are complete for getting out the vote and every man available will be given an opportunity of easily get ting to the polls.
 In Killingly there is no special con- test on. The battle of ballots will be fought out on straight party lines, each side endeavoring to make a tick ct showing and not a big drive for some special candidate or group of candidates.
 The reelection of Judge Sabin S. Russell is already conceded. Incident ally it is expected that Judge Russell in the event of the republicans con- trolling the state legislature, will be clerk of bills in the next assembly, in the regular order. from a clerk of the senate to the post mentioned.

HOW GOOD THAT
 MUSTEROLE FEELS!
It Gets to That Sore Spot
 Like Magic

A-a-h! That's delicious relief for those sore muscles, those stiff joints, that lame back.
 Musterole is clean, white ointment, made with the oil of mustard and other home simples.
 It does the work of the old- fashioned mustard plaster, minus the plaster and minus the blister! You simply rub Mustero1e on the spot where the pain is-rub it on briskly-and usually the pain is gone.
 No nuss, no bother. Just comfort ing, soothing relief - first a gentle glow, then delightful sense of cool ness. And best of all, no blisters like the old-fashioned mustard plaster used to make:
 Use Musterole for sore throat, bron. ehitis, tonsilitis, croup, stiff neck, asthma, neuralgia, headache, conges- ton, pleurisy, rheumatism, lumbago. pains and aches of the back or joints, sprains, sore muscles, bruises, chi1- plains, frosted feet and colds of the chest Git often prevents pneumonia.

Mirages, which may be seen almost every day on these heated deserts, give strange fanciful forms to the mountains and sometimes trans figure them beyond recognition. A pack train crossing the desert few miles distant may appear like some strange caravan of grotesque bcs.sts fording a shallow lake, the shores of which advance as one rides away. The monotony. of midday on the desert is thus broken by elusive forms that are ever changing and suggest a thou sand fancies which divert the atten- ton from the fatigues of the journey.

insisted that the legislators should be guided in framing the constitution by the advice of experienced military men. Chang Yao-tseng, the new min tSter of justice. Was singled out as a member of the cabinet who is wholly unworthy to retain his position, and a protest against him was sent to the central government. The objection to the minister of justice is based on his alleged connection with the recent opium smuggling case at Shanghai. Large quantities of Yunnan opium were taken into Shanghai by an off cial party. of which Chang -Yai-tseng was a member. He was officially ex- onerated, but both the press and the public regarded the official action as a whitewashing. and his retention ill the cabinet provoked wide criticism even before the military conference took action.
 The military leaders also insisted that a competent minister of foreign affairs should be immediately appoint ed to look after the tangled interna- tional questions which China now faces.
 Parliament and the military party stand at opposite poles. Tuan Chi-jui, the premier. is primarily 2 military man and in sympathy with the prac- tical methods of the old time Chi nese who believe that the strict exer- else of military power is the only means of maintaining peace in China. President Ii Yuan hung, while pri- marily a military man, is not so strongly in sympathy with the mili- tary party. He has endeavored to maintain middle ground and harmon ize the parliamentarians and the mili tary leaders. His success has not been marked. While the re yolutionary troubles have been entirely quieted at Canton and in other parts of Kwang- tung province. and the Szechuen sit uation is no longer threatening, there is general dissatisfaction throughout China with the inaction of parliament, and a clash between the parliament and the military is freely predicted.
