II YUAN-HUNC'S PROSCRIP PTlON IS
 EXCITING CHINA
Punishment of Monarchical Movers Causes Profound
 Sensation.

Picking, Aug. 10. = President Li Yuan-hungs mandate ordering the trial and punishment of nine promi- nent movers in the monarchical move ment(, including two former mem bers of the cabinet. has created profound sensation in China.
 Lian Shih-yi, who was the conh- dential adviser of Yuan Shi-kai and was probably the most influential man in China under Yuan Shi-kai, Is in- cluded in the list of monarchists who are to be tried and punished. Liang Shih-yi is now in Hongkong. living un- der the protection of the British flag. It will be impossible to extradite Liang Shih-yi for a political offence. If the Chinese government were 10 make charges of embezzlement against him in connection with his direction of the affairs of the Bank of Communications, it might be pos sible to extradite him. Criminal charges would probably command the attention of the English government, but it is quite unlikely that English officials in Picking would regard po- litical offences as proper grounds Tor extradition.
 Chow Tzu-chi, for several years Yuan Shi-kai's minister of agricul- ture and commerce, and minister Of finance during the last days of Yuan's regime, is also among the list of mon archists to be punished. He is now living in the British concession at Tien-tsin, and consequently is also be- vond the reach of the Chinese govern ment, unless it makes criminal charges.
 Gnu Chi-chien, Yuan Shi-kafs for mer minister of the interior, Is the other cabinet member against whom the mandate is directed. He also is living at Tien-tsin. Gnu Chi-chien was at the head of the bureau which was making preparations for the en- thronement ceremonies, and his name figures very prominently in connec- tion with the monarchicai movement from it's very inception.
 Yang Tu, the chief promoter of the Chou An Hui. or the Society for the Preservation of Peace, which for rnally launched the monarchical movement in public way, is the most prominent of the other men to be tried. The full text of the man. date for the punishment of monar- chists follows:
 "The movement for the change of foy-u of state plunged the whole coun-
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1916-08-11

try into utter confusion and nearly
 caused it to suffer national extinction.
 Those who promoted the movement must be held responsible. The arrest
 is hereby ordered of Yang Tu. Sun
 Yu-chun, Ku 40, Liang Shih-yi, Hsia Shou-tieh, Gnu Chi-chien, Chow Tzu- chi and Hsuen Ta-kp, who are to be handed to the Judiciary, carefully and strictly tried and punished according to the law to the end that warning
 may be registered for the guidanos of future generations. Others arr hereby pardoned in the interest of leniency."
 Conservative newspapers. especially those printed in English, have advised strongly against the punishment or monarchists on the ground that such a step would make a reconciliation of the North and South even more difh- cult by embittering the old factionai strife. Practically all the foreign ministers in Peking strongly advised against such action, and urged the revolutionists to drop all charges and center their efforts upon reconstruct- ing the shattered and disorganized government.
 Extreme revolutionists cried for blood, however. and demanded that the promoters of the monarchical movement be beheaded. For a long time Ii Yuan-hung apparently held out against the movement to punish political offenders, but finally yielded to pressure brought upon him by majority of the new cabinet. Yuan Chi1 jui, the premier was strongly against the punishment movement It is most offensive to practically all the military leaders. and it is extremely doubtful whether an honest effort will ever be made to punish the monarchi- cal leaders named in the mandate. In the opinion of many foreigners, Ii Yuan-hung authorized the mandate merely as face-saving expedient without thought that it would be put into effect. Practically all the for mer officials against whom it is di- rected had left before the mandate was issued. It is reported on very good authority that most of them had bene officially advised to leave the capital, so the government would not be compelled to arrest them.

Austrians Oppose Bullet Protector. "

Vienna, Aug. 10.-The Austrian authorities have been making an ap- parently intellectual fight against an alleged Outlet protector" that is widely sold, but which it is claimed is dangerous rather than helpful in any way.
 The protector is nothing but a curved piece of metal that is hung about the neck inside the tunic, and which, it's producers claim. will stop or lessen the force of a bullet fired at long range. In practice, the author ities claim it is merely a menace because bullet at short range-as most of them ,are--wills not only pierce it easily but fiatten out in the process and often carry bits of the metal on into the body.
 Some half a dozen dealers in the protector" were haled before the courts recently on the charge of en- dangering public safety. Each claimed that the metal shields will stop bullets fired at a thousand yards or more. They established satisfac- torily that they never had sold the shields under any other pretense, and therefore could not be held for fraud.

Hungarian Soldier
 Invents Flexible
 Wooden Sole Shoe

Budapest, Hungary. Aug. 10-Bar- na s. .Kohlener, a Hungarian captain of cavalry whose military usefulness was ended when he lost an arm, has devoted himself since his incapacita- tion to inventing a wooden-soled shoe that shall have the virtue of flexibility, and announces that he has solved this problem, the hardest that has confronted wooden-soled shoe en- thusiasts.
 His invention is sole that, instead of being made of one solid piece of wood.. is constructed of number of layers joined together by heavy oils or fats that thicken and grip the pieces of wood together. After countless ex- periments Capt. Kohlener declares that wooden soles constructed in this manner have the elasticity of leather soles, and in addition can be made of old and worn material worked over.

ARE TEMPTATIONS
 DANGEROUS:

 There are some women, happy of heart, fun loving and sensible rh ~ could be brought into contact w1un .....e most pronounced, fascinating "lady killers'' without experiencing an ex- travagant heart throb There are oth- CTS who were never intended, presum- ably, to have a beau who had no mat rimonial intention, because they were sure to fall headlong in love although the man in. the case stopped carefully at the crossroads of a mild filtration.
 Such young women are really more to be pitied than censured, for the reason that their feminine intuition has led them far afield, as it were, leaving them unable to decide as to Just what value to place on his whis- pe-ed words or the lingering clasp of his hand.
 All women will tell you they go on their summer vacations for the sole purpose of gaining the benefit derived from change of scene and air.
 While this is true, it Is also quite true that the majority Of w1nsome .maidens are not averse to finding at the place they have chosen for rec reation an agreeable, unattached young man who will help them pass the vacation days pleasantly. If he pays bevy or more of girls the same amount of attention, favoring one not more than the others, he is simply a very agreeable new acquaintance If he singles one girl out, talking, walk ing, golf1ng, Fachting, dancing with her almost exclusively the busy bodies Will be burning with curiosity to dis cover whether it is real heart affair or only filtration.
