CHINA COAST OFFICERS
 STRIKE FOR MORE PAY

Shanghai, June 2.-Severa1 hun
 dred shippers and officers belonging to the China Coast Officers Guild are
 on strike because the China coast
 steamship companies, with the excep- tion of the China Merchants Steam
 Navigation Company, have refused to recognize their guild and grant an i'm
 crease of wages. It is estimated by
 the guild that one hundred and two
 vessels in the China coast trade be- longing to the China Navigation Com pany and the Indo7China, Steam Navi- gation Company, have been forced in- to idlenless by this strike.
 Freights all over the Far East are greatly affected by the action of the 1 officers, virtually all of whom are 1 Eng1ish. The navigation companies have charged the guild with being
 unpatriotie in taking such action at 1 a. time when the Entente Allies are 1 in need of shipping facilities.
 Members of the guild at sea were
 advised by wireless of the strike, and
 offered to take their ships into the l nearest port and leave them there. l Gold amounting to $3,80O,000 was l deposited at the New York assay of fee by J. P. Morgan & Co. The gold l came from Canada.

 Dr. zahn found a feeling among the Persians, he said, that the American methods were brusk and failed to pay proper attention to the customs and sensibilities of the people. This was particularly true, he declared, as to American methods of collecting ac- count and the refusal to grant long credits. This later, Dr. Zahn deelar- ed, is looked upon by the average Persian as denoting distrust off his honesty. Nor must the Persian be hurried. Time is not money in the Am erican sense of hustle.
 pr. Zahn said he understood that the American Department of Com merce and Labor is assisting in the securing and distributing of German cata1ogs of firms formerly doing busi- ness in Persia, and he declared this is 9, very practical idea, for he points out that the Germans had made great progress toward winning the Persian market Their exports consisted pEin- cipalIy of finer textile wares, Jewel ry. toys and clothing.

RUSSIANS BRING DOWN PLANE BUT AUSTRIAN
 FLYERS DESTROY IT

Tarnopol, Galicia, June 2s-An Aus trian aeroplane, one of those whose visits have become almost daily fea- ture of life in this town, was brought down. within the Russion lines recent Iy. Its two occupants succeeded in burning the machine but were cap tured On every faiE day these air ariders from Austrian lines fly over Tarnopol and drop their bombs. Their appearance is the signal for a fusil- Jade from field guns from various quarters. At the first report people seek the shelter of buildings, children scamper to quick cover and faces are turned skyward. A few days ago 25 bombs fell but the net damage was slight On another day, at noon time
 a raider was observed high among the clouds Shells from the Russian guns burst on all sides of him but he sailed seemingly unharmed behind 9 bank of clouds and disappeared from view. Later came a report of his capture the details of which are lacking.

COPENHAGEN, Nov. 22. - The former governor general of the Danish West Indies, Helweg Lar sen, was examined today by par liamentary committee and opposed the sale of the islands.

Ambassador from Nation at War, Which Has Long Been UnrepreSented,
 To Be Welcomed.
SAFE CONDUCT IS ASKED
Austrian Count Coming to United States Is a Pole and Been in
 U. S. Before.

WASHINGTON. Nov. %. - The State Department has announced receipt of cable dispatch from Vi- enna stating that Count de Tarnow- Tarnoviskl has been appointed Am bassador from Austria-Hungary to the United States to succeed Dr. Theodor Dumba. whose recall was demanded by the United States more than Q year ago.
 Informal inquiries had been made of the State Department to deter mine the acceptability of Count de Tarnow-Tarnoyisd to the gov ernment of the United States and upon learning that he was accept formal announcement of his ap- pointment.
 It was learned that the State Department asked Austria and Tur- key several weeks ago when they expected again to name Ambassa- dors to this country, and that it was informed their appointment would be made when the two gov ernments were assured their Am bassadors could safely reach the United States. Turkey apparently has gone no further than to make this answer. IL was not believed here that any great difficulty would be encountered if the United States asked the Entente Allies to per- nit their safe passage to this coun- try.
 Officials here are pleased over the prospect of having full diplomatic intercourse with Austria-Hungary resumed after a delay of more than fourteen months since Dr. Dumba's recall. in September, 1915. In some quarters it has been believed that Austria failed to send a new envoy immediately to show her disapproyal of the request for Dr. Dumbas recall. It is not known when Count Taruowski will leave for this country. but it is explained that as he is entitled to diplomatic immunity it will not be necessary to request a safe conduct from the Allies.

FRANZ JOSEPH
 AUSTRIAN RULER,
 DIES IN CASTLE

VIENNA, NoW 22.-charles Fran. cls, nephew of the Emperor, pro- claimed the death of the Monarch. The death has caused notable emo- tion here. the general public was not made aware Of the fact Of the serious nature of the Emperor's lIl- nees.
 LONDON, Nov 22.-According to Ia Reuters dispatch from Vienna. Emperor Franz Joseph, of Austria. is dead
 Emperor Franz Joseph, Austria Hungary's aged monarch, who was S6 years of age has been several times reported dead or dying since the beginning of the war, and Q few days ago was said to be at deaths door in the imperial pal aces at Schonbrun, where ne lived in retirement
 The lifp history Of the imperial recluse has been a long tragedy, and the bloody days which marked his closing years are but typical. He was born at Schonbrunn, August IS. 1880, and ascended the throne in December. 1S48, with his world in convulslon, succeeding his un. cle Ferdinand, who, too deeply in- yolyed in the revolutionary unrest of the period, had abdlcated. From that hour Franz Joseph went through every kind Of trouble that may beset or shame a monarch, and had his personal life embitter- ed by the disastrous, tragic history )f his family. His wife, the Empress Elizabeth, was Gssassinated by an anarchist, Gnd his son, Grown Pince Rudolph. was murdered in a scan- iulous brawl The assassination of his nephew, Crown Pince Franz Fer dinand. and his wife in 1914 fur .her steeped in blood the aged mon archs tragic destiny. In war, Franz Joseph was never once victorious, his greatest humiliation coming to him when Prussia, his present ally, defeated him in 1866 in a disastrous six weeks campaign. The present war it ig said, was not of his own wishing. and only the great pressure brought to bear by Germany caused him to sign the decree of war against Serbia which kindled the world conflict, now so ominously turning against Austrian arms.
