ROOSEVELT FLY IN THE
 REPUBLICAN OINTMENT
A Big Demonstration for 'Teddy" Expected at
 Moose Convention.

Chicago, June 6.-Almost overshad- | licans today is the question of what the progressive convention will do when it assemblies tomorrow. The re- ] publican leaders regard it as charged with possibilities of the most potent sort. On every hand they expect a tremendous demonstration for Col. Roosevelt, despite efforts to hold back a nomination until the republicans have indicated their purpose and there has been opportunity for further conferences between the two fac tions.
 The movement for a delay in the progressive convention, however, has been met by decision of the leaders to have action not later than Thurs day. Victor Murdock, Clifford Pinchot, Henry J. Allen of Kansas; Hiram w. Johnson, and about thirty others at a conference late last night came to decision that the convention should nominate Col. Roosevelt as soon as nominations could be reached in the regular order of business and that nothing less than a request for delay from Col. Roosevelt himself should in- terfere with that plan. They agreed that, if their program went through and the colonel nominated at once, Governor Johnson would take the second place, as he did four years ago. All of this is contingent how ever, upon failure of the leaders of both parties to agree upon a com promise candidate.
 Immediately before he went into conference with republican leaders, George w. Perkins, leader of the Roosevelt adherents, today gave out a statement declaring that Colonel Roosevelt had not said that he would refuse to support Justice Hughes or any other man, and as- sailed Hughes. supporters for making capital of his 'preparedness speech" in Washington last night

BERLIN STILL CLAIMS
 VICTORY IN NORTH SEA
Admits Frankly Loss to Ger. man Units and Men
 Was Great.

Berlin, Friday, June ?, by Wire less to The Associated Press, Via. Sayville Delayed in .)- Detailed reports of the naval battle in the North Sea detract nothing from the importance or extent Of the German victory. They show that the entire German battle fleet, except the light forces assigned to the Baltic, was engaged with the main force of the British fleet.
 The fact that the British super eadnought Warspite was lost in the day battle disposes of any assump- lion that the British battleships ar rived too late to participate decisive Iv in the main engagement. CThe 1,-ss of the Warsptc was announced hv the German admiralty but denied officially in London, where it was suid the ship was damaged but not sunk.)
 The number of German destroy CTS lest is given as five.
 The admiralty naturally has much more information availa ble, but keeps 1t impounded. Among the details which. however, it is permissible to transmit is that British cruiser of the Achilles type WaS Sulh III Ile ell- eagement at fairly close quarters with the German flagship.
 Vice Admiral Hipper, in command ot the cruiser squadron, was the German commander in the Dogger- bank engagement.
 No further information has been given out in regard to the extent of the damages sustained by the German units. It is admitted frankly that they are by no means light, and the loss of personnel from the British shell fire also is conceded Neverthe- less, the price of victory is regarded as relatively small.

 Yuan Shi-kai died while t.e storms of revolution were gathering in in creasing strength. The revolt broke out in December, 1915, when the president announced his intention of establishing a monarchy and ascend ing the throne as the first emperor of new dynasty. His coronation was set for early in February of this year. but was postponed indefin- itely, owing to the revolt in southern China. Several attempts were made upon the presidents life and a bomb plot was discovered in the imperial palace.
 Japan Forces Abandonment of Eaans
 The establishment of a monarchy was strenuously opposed by Japan and the final abandonment of the plan was largely credited to the representations made by Tokio.
 The revolt progressed, however, and in March the governor of the Chinese provinces demanded the resignation of the president. In May the pro- vinces of Shansi and Shantung an- nounced their independence, and a provisional government was estab- lished by the generals commanding the revolutionary forces in the south.
 lyo on May 26 his intention to resign when a suitable successor was chosen. It was reported a little later that the president intended to take refuge in Japan.
 Tn recent years Yuan Shi-kai had become the most conspicuous person. ality of the Orient through his eff forts to bring his 00,O00 900 fellow yellow men into line as citizens of the new Republic of China. The task of turning this most ancient and backward of Kingdoms into a Repub- lie within whose confines there was a fifth of the worlds inhabitants-a Re public four times as large as the United States-was obviously no easy one and the man who attempted 1t did not escape storms of criticism from those who held that he was a dictator, virtually founding a new dN- nasty. But among foreigners gen. erally Yuan Shi-kai was given credit for as able an administration as could be expected under the circumstances.
 Long before Yuan Shi-kai was wide ly known abroad he had been accepted by the Manchus, the Chinese and the foreigners in China as a coming man.
 Born in 1859.
 Born in 1859, the son of a District Governor in the province of HOnan, Yuan Shi-kai aspired to an official position, but the rule was that official life was open only to those who passed in ancient classics. Yuan ut terly failed in one of those govern ment tests at which thousands of aS pirants are closeted for three days undergoing examination.
 He went into Korea as a secretary with the army, and there rose rapidly through his display of military and diplomatic ability. The famous Grand Chancellor Lii Hung-Chang recognized in him a man of action and ap- pointed him Chinese resident at Seoul. This was the highest post in the em- pire, and Yuan held it when he was
