MISTAKE TO CANCEL
MONARCHY OF CHINA
LBy Associated Press


Picking, May 3O.-Yang Tu, orga-
nicer and chief promoter Of the
Chou An Hui, or the Society for the
Preservation of Peace, which fos-
tered the monarchical movement, has
issued an appeal to the military and
civil governors of the various prov
inces and to the newspapers of
Shanghai, asking them to support
Yuan Shi-kai as president under a
proper constitutional Elimination and
save China from further disturb
ances.
Tang TIP assumes full responsible
ity for the organizing of the monar-
chical movement, and. confesses the
misfortunes which the movement
has brought to China. He says in
his appeal that he still believes the
monarchy would be the best form of
government for China, and that it
was mistake to cancel the mon
archy. However, since the monarchy
is cancelled, Yang Tu believes that
all leaders in China should join the
movement to support Yuan Ski-kai
and restore order. He says in his
announcement:
Now the monarchy has been can
celled, everything should be over
But some people go SO far as to de-
mand the abdication of the present
chief executive. If this is done, not
only can we not enjoy the perma-
nent peace of monarchy, but even
the temporary peace of a republic
will be denied us. But for the effort
of the present chief executive, peace
and order could never have been
maintained in the country for the
last few years; and the woes of re-
public would have already been real
lied if the second revolution had not
been suppressed. You simply suggest
abdication without guaranteeing
anything. When the nation has no
ruler able enough to succeed the
present chief executive, chaos will
certainly be brought about. You
charge him for having restored the
monarchy, without realizing that il
is the whole nation that favored the
change, and that it is, Yang Tu, who
first started the discussion.
"If there are any charges against
the monarchical movement, | am re-
sponsible for them all My views are
mistaken; nobody else could infiu.
!ence my mind. am still in feaI
that the republican form of govern
ment will ultimately ruin our coun-
try. When a ship is wrecked in the
great sea, | alone surely cannot sur
vive. / have not yet found suitable
l place to end this sorrowful life. II b!

Patriotic and wise as you gentle
men are, trust that you will be abb
to weigh the matter to save tn

and to be satisfied with the punish
ment of the principal offender. Wit
these rt-broken words, ! appeal t

Tomorrow Is Polk County'S Opportunity


million less money voted, has de-
rived incalculable benefits from the
publicity attending its million-dol-
lars worth of brick roads.
The Tribune is interested in Polk
county's election as a South Florida
institution, which hopes for and
works for the development of this
section and for its continued growth
and prosperity.
We must needs be for the Polk
county bond issue as we are for ev-
cry other proposition which spells
more improvement, more develop
ment, more money, more residents,
more visitors, more prosperity for
this State and this section of the
State.
We have no apologies to offer for
taking an active part in advocating
this bond-issue for a neighboring
county. The Tribune's field is South
Florida and it is vitality interested
in everything which tends to the en-
richment and the advancement of
that field.
On these pages the Tribune prints
the first complete and authentic
statement yet published of the ac-
tual amounts voted and being eX-
pended for good roads by the various
counties of Florida. The list is an
inspiring one. 1t totals more than
ten millions of dollars. 1t means ten
million dollars worth of good roads
in twenty-eight counties of this
State.
1t will be noted in this statement
that three counties have reached the
million dollar mark. HillsboroWgh

of the list-and Polk county is, tC
date, the only important county il
Florida which hasn't issued dollal
of bonds for good roads. From moth
ing to the top of the column is ;
step worth taking.
The Tribune appeals to the pa
triotism and public spirit of the vot
ers of Polk county to take this step
They will never regret it. They will
reap the returns of their liberal ex
penditure in uncountable ways. The

Mr.. Editor: You have published
much regarding the million and
half BOND issue. 1t has been shown
that if the main roads in our county
are paved with asphalt that it will
be delightful as well as a great saw
ing in wear and tear to those who
drive an automobile or Ford or mule.
Being in the shoe business, l natur-
ally think of those who are fortu-
nate enough not to own a gas, wagon
oror mule and who do their going
on feet 1t is we'll known that sand
is very hard on shoes and on account
of the war and other conditions all
the shoe factories have been forced
to keep advancing their prices and
if they keep it up much longer it
will be as easy for some people to
buy a Maxwell as a pair of shoes.
People of this section have been
getting wise on the good road ques-
ton because they wish to conomize.
For the sake of economy and com
fort as well as personal appearance,
is why so many are now buying their
shoes at the Straw Shoe Store. They
get the utmost in satisfaction,
whether they walk in sand, clay
mud or on paved asphalt or cement
walks, in Straw Shoes.
trust that the majority of the
voters on electin day will use the
same good judgment and wisdom as
do these people who buy their shoes

ARMY OF 100000
PROPOSED BY HOLLAND

The Hague, Netherlands, May 81.
AN army of 100000 men as Hol-
lands military strength in any fu-
ture European struggle is the pre-
paredness program Of the ''Volks-
weerbaarheid" or National Defense
Association, which enjoys a state
subsidy and had lao branches and
nearly $4,000 members.
Under this program every able
bodied man and woman would be en-
listed for the country's defense;
there would be universal service in
stead of the limited compulsory sys-
tenn which now obtains. The associa-
tion is convinced that freedom and
independence can be assured only
when all who are able, conscious of
their duty, prepare Themselves in
service in the country's defense
forces, with view, in case of neces-
sity, to being able to defend those
most sacred possessions of the ma
J ton"
The concrete scheme of the asso-
citation takes the form of general
compulsory training, with limited
repetition training and service, and
local and provincial training and or
ganization. Starting out from the
principle that the basis of all de-
Tense must be the forming of pow
erful race, the program would pro-
vide physical exercise in the schools
and subsequent preparatory training
of the youth of the country. After
this the time actually spent in the
ranks would be comparatively short
the association argues, citing what
has been seen in that respect in the
present war.
Only few of the large levies thus
obtained would suffice to form the
field army. Thence the men would
pass out into the local troops
territorial defense forces These lat
ter would be so organized that, to-
gether with the strong localized
frontier and coast guards, the!
could be ready to take the field in ;
few hours.
While the local troops" would, il
the first place, serve for defense, tn,
field army would be destined for of
fensive operations. The two togethe
would form force of about G0,00t
men, fully trained, while there woul,
still be a reserve in the depots 0
more tanh 100000 men, making u
the total of 1,300,,0 900 mentioned.
Summarized thi new nationa
army would be constituted as fo
i lows:
Frontier and coastal troops, 1874
@ 500; field army, 100000: positio
troops, $500; marine, 5000; lCca
troops 5,34,50O; total, 796,500 men
Reserve: Local reserve, first bal
n 100000 men; second ban, 1000
If men; total, $4,000 men.

SnO NsUREs BIGGER pROF1T

Auuicatlons are that many silos will
oe quilt In this neighbornood the com.
ing year. The reason for this is the
painful fact that the farmers are dis
coVerlng that they have been wasting
tnelr substances in neglecting this
most essential adjunct to the farm.
Inc few who have tried silos have
Iounu them increasing their profits.
ana the good news is spreading. Ev-
eryoody Is getting the fever.
Mention has been made In preyious

Erst time this winter. 1t is interest
ing from the fact that Mr. Cook was
new at the business, and therefore his
experience will show other new silo
converts how to proceed.
Having recently fed up the last of
MS ensilage Mr.. Cook was asked for
statement for the benefit of the
many other interested farmers of
Clearwater county.

the case:

working In Orotino and hired all the
work done when filling the silo, and
ngures the cost at 81 per ton. Last
