CHINA THREATENS
TO MIX UP IN WAR
CONTROVERSY WITH FRANCE
OVER TlENTsIN TERRITORY
MAY CAUSE WAR.
FRENCH HOLDING PRISONERS
Chinese Officials In Deadlock With
With French Over Occupation Of
Land and Prisoners Held by
Frenh-Situation Serious.

New York-A possibility that China
may beome involved in the world war
because of diplomatic complications
with France over possession of terri
tory in Tientsin adjoining the French
concession is suggested in a cable
gram from Peking made public by Pat
rick Gallagher, editor of the Far East
ern Bureau, 13 Aston Place.
According to the bureaus Picking
representative, the situation is seri-
Gus. The French charge d-affaires at
Peking-displeased, the cable mes
sage says. because the Chinese minis
try delayed in ceding to France half
of the 700-acre district in Tientsin
known as Hal Kuangse Wa-author-
lied the sending of French police into
this territory on Oct. 81.
Nine Chinese policemen and citi-
zens were arrested and put in prison.
This action by the French officials
called forth a protest from the Chi
nese ministry and aroused indignation
among the inhabitants of Tientsin, the
message continues.
In spite of several attempts at set
Element, the Chinese and French au-
thorities are represented to be at a
deadlock and the men are still in
prison. On Nov. the French minis
ter at Picking, acting in behalf Of En-
gland, Russia and Japan, attempted to
mediate. He failed because the Chi
nese ministry claimed lack OF time to
prepare written memorandum Of the
conference for forwarding to the
French charge d'affaires.
"Not only are the people of Tientsin
now exceedingly indignant over the
affair."" says the cablegram, "but it is
apprehended that the military classes
throughout the whole country may be
aroused to demand vigorous action in
vindication of China's rights"

Germans Busy Building Another Gi
gantic Submarine.
Washington.-Ano great trans
Atlantic merchant submarine, to take
the place of the Bremen, sister ship OF
the Deutschland, which was lost with
all hands on her maiden voyage to the
United States, now is being built in
Germany.
Definite information regarding the
new vessel Is lacking.
It is not known when the vessel will
be ready for her first trip to the Unit
ed States.
The Deutschland, 1t was announced
will not carry any regular mails from
the United States to Germany on the
return trip. Negotiations for a trans
Atlantic submarine mail service have
been carried on between the German
embassy and the Postoffice Depart
ment, but the operating company has
not yet agreed to the service, because
it is felt that the submarine service be-
ing the nature of an extraordinary
one should command higher rate.

During one of our gales an elderly

Just as they passed along row of

FARMERS LISTEN TO WILSON
Presidest Wilson Welcomes Farmers
Grange to Neutrality-suspicious.
Feed the World.

Washington.-Mr. Wilson blamed
middlemen for the high cost of food
stuffs in a speech welcoming to Wash
ington the convention of the National
Grange, the first formal speech he has
delivered since the election. Urging
that farmers increase their output, the
president said:
"We ought to raise such big crops
that circumstances like the present can
never recur, when men can make as II
the supply was so short that the mid
dleman could charge for 1t what he
pleased 1t will not do to be niggardly
with the rest of the world In respect
to its food supply"
The president did not mention re
cent petitions to him to declare an en-
barge on expectation Of fOodstuffs
from the United States to the rest OF
the world and he did not refer even in
directly to the outcome Of the presi-
Dental election His address was in
terrdpted frequently by applause from
the farmers attending the fiftieth an
niversary celebration of the founding
Of the grange.
"It seems to me-" said the president,
that some of the most interesting
problems of our life and Of the life OF
the world lie before us, problems IN
connection with which the farmers OF
the United States will play part such
as they have never played before.
'It goes without saying that the
physical life Of the nation has always
depended upon the farm. 1t goes with
out saying, also. that to large extent
the physical life Of the world has
drawn its sustenance from the great
areas Of farmland in the United States.
We have sent food to all parts of the
world, and the American farmer has
contributed to the life of all the coun-
tries of the world. But you know that
as our own population has increased
the proportion in which we could help
foreign countries as contrasted with
our own has decreased, and there are
problems that are comparable with the
problems of craftsmanship lying ahead
Of the farmers of the United States. "
