CHINESE EMPEROR
ERECTS BIG CAMP

TOXIC, Feb. 28.-Emperor Yuan of
China, is constructing great military
Company in his native province, Ho-
man, in location which will enable
him to hold out indefinitely should
the rest of the country be overrun by
enemies.
Two thousand men were at work on
the camp when it was visited by a
foreigner recently. The site was lat
ticed with small iron tracks for hand
truck to carry building material. Enor-
nous quantities of lumber, lime, and
bricks were on hand. A large portion
of the ground was surrounded by
earthen walls which in time will be re-
placed by brick walls. The camp is
two miles square, and the land on
which it stands cost 100000
The great fortress is situated at
Honanfu. The city was the capital of
China under the Chow dynasty, be-
ginning TO B. C. The question is ask
ed if Yuan intends to restore it's
ancient glories.

most of the talking at the interview
with Secretary Lansing today. Secre-
tary Lansing received his memoran-
dunn and listened to all that the Ger
man ambassador had to say. The sec
rotary took the position that the Ger
man suggestions contained in the
memorandum were matters for further
consideration by the United States.
That they We're unsatisfactory in the
extreme, he did not say, although
there was little doubt that this was the
impression that the German am
bassador carried Off Baron Eric

ORPET BOUND
over TO FACE
GRAND JURORS
SCOOP

CHICAGO, Feb. 2s.-Will Crpet was
formally bound over to await the &C.
ton of the Lake county grand jury in
the matter of the mysterious death of
Marion Lambert in a preliminary hear
ing conducted by Magistrate Henry
Bickerman today at Lake Forest.
Orpet was brought from Waukegan
with II. G. Hanna, his attorney, and
Sheriff Griffin. Looking ruddier and
much more steady than he has at any
time since he came from Madison.
Wis, he was led directly to the office
Of the chief of police.
Magistrate Bickerman in his own
office prepared the order and took it
to the chiefs office and read it to Mr..
Hanna. Hanna nodded his head; the
order was transferred to the books
and Orpet was ready for another ride
back to his Waukegan cell.
Nothing was said about bail as Mag
istrate Bickerman had learned from
the attorneys for the defense that they
did not desire to have the prisoner
released
This, according to Hanna, was be-
cause of the brief lapse of time be-
tween now and the meeting of the
grand jury next Monday.

TOBACCO WELCOMED
BY men ON FRONT

BERLIN, Feb. 2S.-The Vereinigte
Tabak-Zeitungen, the official organ OF
the German tobacco men, published a
number of letters from German and
Austro-Hungarian army leaders on the
value of the tobacco for the soldiers
in the field. General Won Boseler, the
conqueror of Antwerp and Novo Geor-
gievsk and present governor general
of Poland, writes:
mo gift from home is greeted with
greater joy by our officers and men
than a package of tobacco, cigars or
cigarettes. Tobacco is our best friend
in the field, as it helps to tighten our
sufferings and shortens many sad
hours.
1T is of the highest Importance that
the good spirits of the troops be kept
up at all times. In this difficult task
the leaders have no better aid than
tobacco. I do not know what we would
do if we should suddenly be deprived
of this stimulant.'

JOHN VAUGHAN
DIES AT HOME;
IS WELL KNOWN

Death of John d. Vaughan, who for
a period of 81 years had been a resi-
dent OF this community, and who was
prominent and well known in Richmond

The deceased was born in Richmond.
May 81, 1881, and with the exception
of a period OF IL years spent in the

owned by Abijah Pyle, we'll known
farmer of this county. After the death
of the father the Vaughan family

fever struck the county Mr.. Vaughan
was one OF the many persons who left
for the gold fields. Mrs. John
Vaughan died in 1913. One daugh-
ter, Mrs. Worth r.. Caylor OF Chicago,
Is the only surviving member OF the
family.

BRITISH OFFICERS
DISCARD UNIFORMS

LONDON, Feb. 2S.-Not even the
war can quite overcome the objection
of Englishmen to any sort of uniform.
One would fancy that officers home
from the trenches would rush at least
to display their khaki, but precisely
the opposite is the case. The first de-
sire of the returned nut, to judge by
appearances, is to change into multi.
Sick leave is the only reason which
the war office recognizes as a valid
one for discarding uniform, but one
cannot help, fancying that the point Is
stretched little, to judge by the pre-
valence of black coats at restaurant
dinners and theatres.
The same taste for civilian attire is
noticeable in private houses, where d
wearer of the Victoria Cross will as
tonish his dinner partner by arriving
in black A good many society women

talk of founding an Anti-Mufti League

entente power
ANSWERS NOTE

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-The first
reply from any of the entente allies
to Secretary Lansings proposal that
they all disarm their merchant vessels
has reached the state department
Secretary Lansing today admitted that
he has received formal communica
ton from one of the entente allies on
the matter. but he refused point-blanii
to state which power it was from OF
just what constituted the answer.
1t was generally believed that the
reply was from France and that the
government stated that it could not
discuss the matter. Officials pointed
out that France has never armed any
of her merch ant vessels and that there
fore she could refuse to discuss Ian
sings proposal with propriety
Confidential advices have reached
the department, it was learned today,
that Great Britain has completed her
formal answer to Secretary Lansing 5
request, but is Withholding it until the
Italian foreign office has competed
its draft. 1t is understood that both
of these governments want to make
their answer a joint one.

GAINS IRON CROSS

BERLIN, Feb. 2S-The general staff
reports officially that Corporal Will
helm Nigge of Sassenheim, has been
awarded the Iron Cross of the first
class for exceptional bravery.
During one of the battles in the
Vosges mountains French company,
after a violent attack, had been driv-
en- back to it's trenches by the fire Of
the German cannonS and machine
guns, but at once began to prepare Il
new assault by terrible bombardment.
The German position was shoWered
with hail of shells and within half
an hour two German batteries were
silenced. Only one gun remained in
action, served by Corporal Nigge, the
last unwounded man of the batteries.
More than two hours the heroic corr
poral kept up his fire. Repeatedly he
had to leave his sheltered position to
drag up ammunition, but he stuck to
his gun until reinforcements arrived.
His bravery saved the day. The bat
teries went into action again and soon
afterwards the French bombardment
stopped.

WASHINGTON. Feb 2S.-Over-
Swallowed SO completely by the inter
national situation that it has scarcely
been noticed, one of the bitterest
fights congress has ever seen is now
embroiling the senate on conservation.
More than two weeks steady debate
has already been devoted to the ques-
ton and the struggle has now become
SO involved that the end is nowhere
in sight.
The issues center upon the Shield

dams across navigable streams. The
measure has met with violent opposi.

clare that it is forfeited by the water
power concessions to private interests
and that it also fails TO provide ade-
quately for the return of these rights
to the government at the expiration OF
the lease.
