E1-President of China
Pleads for Neutrality

Washington, April l9.-Dr. sun Vat
Sen. formerly provisional President of
China. has telegraphed an appeal to all
members of the Chinese Parliament TO
defeat the efforts Of the Entente 20
induce China 10 declare war on Ger
many. lie says:
THE question of foreign affairs IS
very grave. and | could not refrain
from expressing my views as a citizen
of the republic. Those who advocate
China Joining the side Of the Entente
powers from the view of China's in
terests are saying that If China joins
the side Of the Entente powers she
may become one of the first class
powers. and foreign affairs will be i'm
proved. This seems 10 be quite rea-
souable.
Those who advocate the same for
humanity and public rights say that
Germany relies on her strength and
should be punished. and China could
not stand idle to see public rights vlo-
lated. even though China may be sacrl-
feed. The spirit is quite praiseworthy.
However. in my own view, II seems 20
be the case that whether a state Will
promote its position may be judged
from whether China Will JOIN the En-
tente side by her own strength.
After China has joined the side OF
the Entente powers, n there are in
ternal troubles and there Is no good
result i'm reforms. 1t will be impossible
10 have China promoted 20 irst cla5'
power. Moreover. 1t Will cause harm
20 China. and az the same time II VII!
show the public the weakness OF the
powers of the Entente, which may lead
TO other difficulties. Thus, instead of
helping humanity, they Will be giving
benefits TO Germany.
"The European war * war OF the
interests of European powers, and the
affairs i'm China are quite different
from those Of European powers.
81 have carefully studied the ques-
ton of China joining the Entente
movers. From the situation in the
South have ascertained that If China
Joins the Entente powers there will be
sure 20 result two dangers: An anti
foreign fanatlcal movement, and
Mahometan rebellion.
The anti-foreicn instincts Of the
Chinese are always in existence aud
easily aroused. If China once d.
clarcs war. the enemy people will
cause China harm, and in taking re-
vcngc on the enemy the Chinese peo-
pie will not distinguish enemy people
from other foreigners. and will ca ie
a massacre Of foreigners generdny,
which may be looked upon as a second
Boxer trouble.
THE influence Of Mshometars in
China cannot be minimized, and #
once China becomes an enemy Of Tur-
key the Mahometans are of the same
religion. and from religious reasons
thcy. VIII cause rebellion. and thus
China will become disturbed. and
danger is quite sure to follow in
China.
This wll be not only injurious to
China. but to the Entente Dowers. The

Russia in No Danger
OF Separate Peace;
Peril Is Internal
Two Governments United to
Fight, but Disagree on
Question of Reforms
Bv ISAAC Don LEVINE

There is no danger of separate
peace between the new Russia and the
Central Powers. There is dangersof in
ternal strife in Russia which may well
lead to disaster.
This summarizes the present situa-
ton in Russia. There are two govern
ments IN the Slavic country to-day.
One is called the Provisional Govern
ment Of Russia. The other is called
the Council Of Workmen's and Soldiers
IDENTITIES. The former is the recognized
government, representing the Duma
and the nation progressive forces. The
other is a de facto government, insti-
,uted Of its own authority, and repre-
scnts the radical elements Of the coun-
try.
The latter has recognized the former
!. has voted by an overwhelming ma
icrity to continue the struggle against
Prussianism. There is no possibility
OF its ever favoring a separate peace
as no Russian radical would ever de-
scrt France. England or America Inc
official and unofficial Russian govern
ments are. therefore. fully united
against a separate peace.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-04-20
Divided on Reforms

But there is division between the
two on internal questions. The eX-
tremsts ann a. the widest and most
radical immediate reforms. The mod
crate liberals insist on gradual refor-
nation. il is this latter attitude on
the part Of the Provisional Govern
mcnt which provokes suspicion in the
hearts Of the radical masses. They
fear that the government is TOO con-
scrvative and rcactionary.
This is the meaning of the resolu-
ton adopted by the Congress Of Work
mems and Soldiers Deputies carly m
the week calling upon the people to see
that the Provisional Goyernmen, main
tain the "conqucsts Of the revolution"

basis for the differences between the
Council and the Provisional Govern

FRENCH CHILDREN SAVED
BY RED CROSS IN FRANCE

How the Red Cross carries on Its
humanitarian work in Krance is illus
tyated in a cablegram received a day
OF two ago from that country.
AT Evian the Red Cross opened a
childrcn's dispensary in the garage Of
an old hotel. 1t is known as the Amer
lean Childrens Hospital. Ten days
before a general hospital was opened
at Evian with 70 beds. 1t is already
ovcrcrowded with cases of diphtheria,
measles, scarlet fever and whooping
cough American doctors twice daily
examine an average Of $50 children
arriving from behind the German lines
and send contagious cases to the
American hospitals.
Every contagious case thus stopped
may mean that an epidemic will have
been prevented somewhere in France.
An American dentist opened a den
tai dispensary in an old hotel at Evian,
using chair improvised from wine
barrels. His first patient was an un,
derfed boy from Ions. The boys
family of seven had been living two
years and half in the cellar of their
home, which had been wrecked by
the Germans.

EXIT POLITICS. ENTER EFFICIENCY

One of the blessings expected to accompany military cOnScription and the formation of army within the United States is the removal of politics from within its ranks.
 Politics is the bane of any organization where results must depend upon efficiency and more so in an army than elsewhere.
 The failure of our national guard fOredoOmed by the provision which provided for the election of officers without respect to their ability and efficiency Where officer was selected for ability three chosen because they were good fellows mixers had money to pay off the company debts incurred by dances and other social functions.
 Officers for the new army are being chosen basis of fitness and ability.
 To this end it is highly desirable that any national guard organization in Alaska be based similar rules good start has been made in appointing Major Davidson an efficient officer of the regular army nsuctOrn SpectOr with the understanding that he will later be ad jutant general.
 In this regard Seward is to be congratulated on the efficiency of its military unit and the officers chosen for that unit Although elected by popular vote there politics because the members realized that the nation is at war with the nation which has reduced efficiency to the last degree and only hope lies in matching efficiency with efficiency and ability. Young men, who may see active service were selected as officers while the old er men, many of whom have dd before content with places in the ranks that their experience may those never before under military discipline. As the result der efficient instruction the Seward unit has made markable strides.
 It is the aim of those interested to have the unit well drilled possible by the time the organization of the Alaska National Guard shall have been achieved that 1t enter intact well drilled company worthy Of the uniforms and equipment each will receive. There enough young in town to bring the quota up to 10O and every not now member should give the matter serious thought and be out for drill Wednesday night.
